New England 02:42
lyrics
buy track
You feel as though you've seen this place To every point on the compass face It gets so bad you need some space But you don't want to leave it behind The change of season will bring a cold wind But before the winter begins You can find a park bench, take it all in As long as the autumn is kind It's a lot to ask, you'll ask anyway The answer's enough to make you want to stay When once you swore you'd never spend another day In New England, New England New England You start to feel like this is home Feel it deep down in your bones And carry it with you when you roam So you'll never have to leave it behind It's a lot to ask, you'll ask anyway The answer's enough to make you want to stay When once you swore you'd never spend another day In New England, New England New England People just passing through Claim to love it more than you But the joke's on them, you've got the best view And you never have to leave it behind As long as the autumn is kind It's a lot to ask, you'll ask anyway The answer's enough to make you want to stay When once you swore you'd never spend another day In New England, New England New England

Blues + Greens 05:06

Abstract art in a hospital lobby Blue and green to keep people calm But in my heart, the scene is sorry Blue and green over what I think is going on Someone else, someone else is going to love you The way I wish I could love you Someone else, someone else will get so close, Just as close as they have to And it's all right It's all right It's all It's not exactly a strange way to be feeling Blue and green often emerge together It's a simple problem but it's so slow in healing Blue and green until the moment I feel better Someone else, someone else is going to love you The way I wish I could love you Someone else, someone else will get so close Just as close as they have to And it's all right It's all right It's all Abstract art in a hospital lobby, Blue and green to keep people calm But in my heart, the scene is sorry Blue and green over what I think is going on It's not exactly a strange way to be feeling Blue and green often emerge together It's a simple problem but it's so slow in healing Blue and green until the moment I feel better Someone else, someone else is going to love you The way I wish I could love you Someone else, someone else will get so close Just as close as they have to Someone else, someone else is going to love you The way I wish I could love you Someone else, someone else will get so close And it's all right It's all right It's all

Moonrise 03:18
lyrics

Moonrise in the afternoon Let the night come soon Because on humid days my heart just melts And my strings all go out of tune Sitting by the pier for hours In the shadow of the office towers Try to shake off this heavy mood But tonight it's beyond my powers Try to find my way out of this corner I've painted Good things never came to me all those years I waited Try to write something honest, get it wrong But hey, don't throw it away, turn it into a song Moonrise and the stars align Constellations look divine Yeah I have to watch them alone But I'll pretend that the whole sky is mine Self worth tied to how often my phone rings Breaking down over the small things But there's a part of me that doesn't care And tonight I'm gonna give it wings Try to find my way out of this corner I've painted Good things never came to me all those years I waited Try to write something honest, get it wrong But hey, don't throw it away, turn it into a song My mind goes back and does laps around the rotary Oldest in the country If I claim that again, you'll punch me Why don't you stop threatening me with a good time? Try to find my way out of this corner I've painted Good things never came to me all those years I waited Try to write something honest, get it wrong But hey, don't throw it away, turned it into this song

Regressing 02:59
lyrics

What's a fun vacation Without a twinge of guilt? Where'd I lose the feeling Did I drop it in the silt? Fireworks across the water Are booming out of season I will enjoy the show Though I do not know the reason I can't help regressing when I come back around here Thought I'd shake the feeling, oh no, no, maybe next year So save me a seat at the foot of the table Do I not want to grow up or am I not able? I can't help regressing I can't help regressing A scent that takes you so far back Even Proust would have to blush Build yourself a fortress Out of unsent letters to a crush I can't help regressing when I come back around here Thought I'd shake the feeling, oh no, no, maybe next year So save me a seat at the foot of the table Do I not want to grow up or am I not able? I can't help regressing No I can't help regressing No no I can't help regressing

Dead Languages 03:00
lyrics

Late afternoon on Howitzer Hill The guns are silent, their war is over Their purpose is fulfilled By a green valley, with room to run I can't resent it, for all its comfort No one here's having fun And in dead languages I speak to you all day You would like me if you could miss me But I just won't go away What a day to feel alive and almost human What a night to pretend I know what I'm doing I know just what I'm doing Close your eyes and pretend it's all an amusement park The smell of sunscreen and fried food I'm tired before dark And in dead languages I speak to you all day You would like me if you could miss me But I just won't go away What a day to feel alive and almost human What a night to pretend I know what I'm doing I know just what I'm doing And when it comes the time to turn the page on the year Will we want to remember, or keep a souvenir? It wasn't a time to cover ourselves in glory But it's not for nothing that I became someone in your story And in dead languages I speak to you all day You would like me if you could miss me But I just won't go away What a day to feel alive and almost human What a night to pretend I know what I'm doing I know just what I'm doing

Glasgow/Gothenburg/Greater Boston 04:18
lyrics

In cloudy Glasgow would I still be wasting time? By the river in Gothenburg would it all fall into line? But I've always had Boston dreams and now the city is mine Just give me a riverbank to lie on Just give me a sunny hillside to die upon So quiet the rabbits won't run from me on my way to the train Too bullheaded stubborn to come in out of the pouring rain When the clouds part in Glasgow, would I feel fulfilled? When I've seen every inch of Gothenburg, would I still have time to kill? Now Boston is so mundane as I walk on garbage day But I won't wait to love these places until I've lost them, So no I wouldn't trade away the hot garbage of Boston For whatever your city may have to offer Don't even bother Don't even bother Just give me a riverbank to lie on Just give me a sunny hillside to die upon So quiet the rabbits won't run from me on my way to the train Too bullheaded stubborn to come in out of the pouring rain This is my home, this is where I fell It's all I dreamed, and it's all just as well Stay all night, there's so much to tell This is my home, this is where I fell Just give me a riverbank to lie on Just give me a sunny hillside to die upon So quiet the rabbits won't run from me on my way to the train Too bullheaded stubborn to come in out of the pouring summer rain

Finder Of Lost Objects 03:34

Never too late to get the last laugh Bet I'll still be here when you get back This is the tenth draft of my feelings You can find the first nine in the trash Saturn returned on time and stayed Everyone I loved found love, or at least got laid While I hid away from the sun And all my hopes decayed Saint Anthony, Saint Anthony I've just lost something that was so dear to me Saint Anthony, Saint Anthony I've lost touch with someone who was once so near to me Write songs so fast, just call me Swift And yes I can believe it's come to this But I never miss a chance To close my eyes and make a wish Saint Anthony, Saint Anthony I've just lost something that was so dear to me Saint Anthony, Saint Anthony I've lost touch with someone who was once so near to me Saint Anthony, Saint Anthony I've just lost something that was so dear to me Saint Anthony, Saint Anthony I've lost touch with someone who was once so near to me

Half A Heartbeat 02:56
lyrics

I've been home, I've been away from my desk I've been evident, I've been impeccably dressed People wonder what it would take to bring me back But you already know, you don't even have to ask In half a heartbeat, I would be right by your side Reach out whenever, you'll always get the same reply I've been going out to try new things, in a whole new part of town But it would only take half a heartbeat for me to turn around I've been growing up, I've been moving on I've been keeping busy, I wrote near a hundred songs I've dealt myself back into the game But I keep an ear out for a mention of my name In half a heartbeat, I would be right by your side Reach out whenever, you'll always get the same reply I've been going out to try new things, in a whole new part of town But it would only take half a heartbeat for me to turn around I'm learning about myself, I'm finding out what I can do There's so many people in this world to take my mind off of you But if you should call my name, should you so much as beckon I'd turn around right in my tracks, it wouldn't even take a second In half a heartbeat, I would be right by your side Reach out whenever, you'll always get the same reply I've been going out to try new things, in a whole new part of town But it would only take half a heartbeat for me to turn around It would only take half a heartbeat for me to turn around

I Haven't Learned 03:26

Take me to the water and leave me there I'll find my own way home To do what I came here to tonight I have to be alone I have to take my time, I have to spend the night I have to learn to forget and see it clear by firelight Because nothing hurts like happiness I feel I haven't earned Teach me some sad lesson that I'm sure I haven't learned I'm sure I haven't learned I haven't learned I'm sure Take me to the party, when you can Let it be a better year There we'll stand with hands entwined And welcome in the fear I have to take my time, I have to spend the night I have to learn to forget and see it clear by candlelight Because nothing hurts like happiness I feel I haven't earned Teach me some sad lesson that I'm sure I haven't learned I'm sure I haven't learned I haven't learned I'm sure Take me to the water Take me to the party Take me anywhere And take me home Because nothing hurts like happiness I feel I haven't earned Teach me some sad lesson that I'm sure I haven't learned I'm sure I haven't learned I haven't learned I'm sure

Cash Out And Leave 03:31

Mostly I just feel old, but sometimes I feel mature There's always one thing that makes me feel that way for sure When I realize the place I need to be Is right outside the door Walk home in the evening air, listening to a playlist Wobble down the bike path, it's only a mile Walk home in the evening air, when thoughts come I don't resist Fall in the front door, can't hide a smile When I Kill my fear of missing out, at least for the night No need to stick around until they turn out the lights Got to get out while the getting's good And while the feeling's right Walk home in the evening air, listening to a playlist Wobble down the bike path, it's only a mile Walk home in the evening air, when thoughts come I don't resist Fall in the front door, can't hide a smile When I Cash out and leave, cash out and go home Cash out and say farewell Cash out and leave and leave and leave and leave Walk home in the evening air, listening to a playlist Wobble down the bike path, it's only a mile Walk home in the evening air, when thoughts come I don't resist Fall in the front door, can't hide a smile When I Cash out and leave, cash out and go home Cash out and say farewell Cash out and leave and leave and leave and leave Cash out and leave, cash out and go home Cash out and say farewell Cash out and leave and leave and leave and leave Cash out and leave, cash out and go home Cash out and say farewell Cash out and leave and leave and leave and leave Cash out and leave, cash out and go home Cash out and say farewell Cash out and leave and leave and leave and leave I'll see you again tomorrow
