Slip & Fade 06:34
Don’t worry, forget about it, nobody knows We’re all in the same boat I get comfort looking at the stars, They’ve got the meaning of close and far Add up time like it’s math Forgetting to put the purpose back, carry it over Sitting in my living room turning on the lights Looking out the window I can’t see a thing I flip the switch and suddenly everything that was dark is now bright I remember to breath You're counting your daily breathe Thinking it will add up and may change What you forgot is that it’s unlimited What you give, what you got, and what you save Two toothbrushes in the sink Hairline is getting thin Closet full of Christmas presents past This house don’t got damn anything You say something so many times that you don’t know how to reword it Doesn’t matter, it still feels good even if I’ve already heard it It’s that bend that will never ever break That makes our time so great If I could put the dawn sunrise on repeat Laying in my bed in the warm, warm sheets I would put that memory on my dying day I could fade away I could slip and fade away

Kiss Off 06:14
I got a lullaby and I’ll say it to your face but I’m gonna shout it It goes 1,2,3,4 get the fuck out of my face And if you disagree, well I doubt it There are so many ways to count your blessings just leave me out of your head count If there’s anything you’re feeling remise I guess just kiss it away There are so many things I think you take for granted You think that I take every single day But when you add it up my minutes they are accounted I’m getting by by getting shitfaced There are so many things that I do not ever say But it is all just because I do not think it’s ok And if you keep on pushing it in my face You’re gonna see that there are things that just don’t go away There are so many days that don’t count as tomorrow But you keep talking about how every day counts If you’re not risking it all then I can’t believe in how you doubt I would like to burn it all down But mainly I would like to kiss your face It’s not about being right it’s just about saying thanks I would like to call you tomorrow I would like to take you out I would like to put aside our differences And I would like for us to not shout I would love for us to not shout I know what day your birthday is I know your favorite color is blue I know that you do not like mayonnaise I know everything about you Your are my best friend I think that you got it wrong You think that we didn’t

The Movies 03:23
I went to the movies but I never opened my eyes. I saw all the action deep inside. Then I went for a walk Running through my head, all of our talks. Then I decided to go for a drive. Up the coast where those trees are alive. I should have taken you. I should have turned around. I should have done a few things that we do not talk about. Here we are, now and then. I started throwing rocks, trying to sink something. Here we go again, one more time around the block. I hope that when I call you’re still down to talk.

From the Turgua Valley to the western corral I was in Mexico when I did look around. My footsteps in the sand only led to nowhere I started following because I didn’t care. I was wandering all around the west with my cowboy hat, my tall boots and my Sunday best. The Sheriff met me and said, “Do you think this is a test?” And I said, “Let the buzzards decide the rest.” And when the sun finally did set my dreams where molded in a hazy silhouette. The last cactus, that’s before my first cigarette I was so lost and thirsty he said, “Yes you are the weakest.” The thunder crackled and it shattered my chest it split like a mouth and cracked my headrest. My horse it went galloping and headed out west. I was left to wander what I knew I thought was best.

Listen to the wind Carries all I’ll follow no road I make the call It’s a remote world Teaching me things Where I go I don’t know But I don’t know if you ever know anything Following the sun As the tide turns There’s not a face I don’t know In the land that doesn’t burn
