Who Told You 04:18
Sitting in the front row at a forest fire Watching all the tall trees crumble without so much as a whisper Well it’s a simple and easy, quick solution for when you no longer want to see what you loved before Yeah who told you that you were extraordinary? Yeah who told you that you left no deep gash in my soil See now I’m telling you that you don't know the half of what I am And there’s a scar hidden far beneath the floor Just round the bend Standing by a winding road hoping to hitch a ride I’m a long forgotten cowboy who thinks the Wild West is hard to find Well it's a simple and easy, quick solution I guess I’ll find somebody who loves me and won’t leave me behind Yeah who told you that you were extraordinary? Yeah who told you that you left no deep gash in my soil See now I’m telling you that you don’t know the half of what I am And there's a scar hidden far beneath the floor Just round the bend Maybe I’m displaced, I’m disgraced, I’m out on my luck But I am tearful, I'm faithful, I don't ask for much Since when did I become someone you could cast off? Yeah who told you that you were extraordinary? Yeah who told you that you left no deep gash in my soil See now I’m telling you that you don’t know the half of what I am And there's a scar hidden far beneath the floor Just round the bend

I Do 03:56
Little horse, why are you playing right there all by yourself Didn't anyone want to spend the night with you? Yeah I guess I do Yeah I guess I do China doll, why do you find it so hard to just stand tall Didn't anyone ever tell you that you were beautiful? Yeah I guess I will Yeah I guess I will 'Cause when you're standing on the altar There's the one thing that I'll swear for that is true In that I love only you To that I say, I do In that I love only you To that I say, I do Oh my friend, dearest friend of mine Won't you say we'll be together for the rest of time Didn't anyone ever make you feel this way before Yeah then I guess I just adore you Yeah I guess I do 'Cause when you're standing on the altar There's the one thing that I'll swear for that is true In that I love only you To that I say, I do In that I love only you To that I say, I do Won't you stay with me forever, my baby Won't you stay with me forever, my baby And we can be together Ooh we'll never ever have to leave each other 'Cause when you're standing on the altar There's the one thing that I'll swear for that is true In that I love only you To that I say, I do In that I love only you To that I say, I do, I do, I do Yeah I do, I do, I do

Monster 03:19
Hold on to your gloves Put them on my cold hands Collect a cup of snow and pour into my mouth Break into a stranger's house Curl up in their bed Just push away the loneliness that creeps into your head You said we'd be okay You said this love will not decay You promised me you'd never let me go It's not the sweetest wind that captures the hearts of young girls It's a rolling pin that flattens the bottles down, down, down, down It's not the sweetest wind that freezes the hearts of young girls It's a crushing wave that drags you further down, down, down, down Sail me through a frozen lake Scrape this ship to its bones Sing a song for the skeletons That haunt an ex-lover's home Break into your mother's house And curl up in your childhood bed Just push away the loneliness That creeps into your head You said we'd be okay You said this love will not decay You promised me you'd never let me go It's not the sweetest wind that captures the hearts of young girls It's a rolling pin that flattens the bottles down, down, down, down It's not the sweetest wind that freezes the hearts of young girls It's a crushing wave which drags you further down, down, down, down

You promised me the world when we were so young Now you sing to me a song of silence in our graves And I am cold for your touch We owe each other so much For all the vows we will always break For all the dreams we've yet to make And we are gone, we are falling Over the edge of a mountain into the sea Yeah it's time that you followed me Like a loyal friend, we can spend our dying days Driving faster and faster and faster and faster Til you, til you Slow me down Days pass in calculated battles of passing glances and words I travel the miles between us like a flight weary bird And I am cold for your touch We owe each other so much For all the love we sublimate After we fade, resuscitate me And we are gone, we are falling Over the edge of a mountain into the sea Yeah it's time that you followed me Like a loyal friend, we can spend our dying days Driving faster and faster and faster and faster... Til you, til you Slow me down

Better 03:42
The glass on my window is black I just swept the gray dust from my floors but I'm sure it'll come back Before I knew you, I was stewing in my own filth You made me anew, now I don't know how to live You make me good for everyone You make me good until you're gone You make me good I wanna be good, I wanna be good Without you Decay is creeping up on me slowly I'm watching the trees break their branches and leaves and I'll never be free Before I knew you, I was stewing in my own filth You made me anew, now I don't know how to live 'cause you make me good for everyone You make me good until you're gone You make me good I wanna be good, I wanna be good Without you Can I be better on my own? How much is bitter of what you've sown? I hope I'll grow out of you I know I'll grow out of you 'cause you make me good for everyone You make me good until you're gone You make me good I wanna be good, I wanna be good Yeah you make me good, you make me good You make me good I wanna be good, I wanna be good Without you
