Track Name: RKOB
I spent my whole life looking into you from my house in the clouds. You stared back up at me, semi-curiously, eyes greyer than my front lawn. I don't even trust my health, so why the hell should I trust myself? It hasn't started, but don't let this end. We can hold left hands. It all depends. It hasn't started, but don't let this end. We can hold left hands. I guess it all depends. Hell, I'd do anything to get out of here; jump off of my roof. God knows if you'd catch me. Will you catch me or let me slip into my own grave? I just can't stop 'til you and I are sharing air tonight. Give me just one shot. Promise, you and I will be sharing tonight. Taken down in one shot. Promise, you and I will be sharing air tonight. I won't give up 'til you and I.
Track Name: Jesse James Diggins
Two-hundred milligrams was a little much, I thought. So I'll send some to you. I couldn't stand to see your bus roll away, so I sat on the ledge. I have your sharpie anyway. You threw me your shirt, and I threw it back. Now, you'll need it more than me. Why'd you have to leave? Jesse find your car and come back to New Jersey. I promise that you'll get that, Kid, when August hits. It's the least I could do, I mean, you lead us down Draggin's Way. We gave you a toast and mixed Minute Maid. Remember the difference a minute made? Why'd you have to leave? Here to Nebraska is not too far. It's a search for your birthplace, so find out who you are. Find your car.
Track Name: All the Time
The sunlight broke through my windows and peaked through the cracks in my guitar, but I still didn't wake up. I sped right through the triple red light without my seatbelt on. They pulled me over and said, "Here's the deal." "Kid, don't worry. You're not the only one, bad things happen all the time. Kid, don't worry your little heart. You're not the only one, 'cause bad things happen all the time." I came dressed in my shadow, darker than the whole damn night. No one could've been watching. Should this fire be bright enough to light my stage, or scare someone to death? I fucked up and chose the latter. The debris was melted and scattered. I felt bad but I thought to myself: Kid, don't worry. You're not the only one, bad things happen all the time. Kid, don't worry your little heart. You're not the only one, 'cause bad things happen all the time. And I peered through the wreckage. It was more than a reflection. He turned in my direction. And his mouth open slowly, and out came something holy. You can bet that he told me: "Kid, don't worry. You're not the only one, bad things happen all the time. Kid, don't worry your little heart. You're not the only one, 'cause bad things happen all the time. Kid, don't worry. You're not the only 'cause bad shit happens all the time."
Track Name: North to the Future
I slept through the turbulence to Fairbanks: where all the pretty girls live. Took a plane, to a boat, to a coach, to a bus, to the train, and the ferry from where I came. How can you miss home if you never leave? I'll sit in the back so I can leave early. North to the Future is where I'll be. North to the Future, that's where I will be. There's no midnight sunsets where I'm from. It'll be harder to sleep when they're gone. Good luck in the sixty below, please try to have fun. 'Cause when kids get bored, well, they start doing drugs and start joining cults. We forgot to say goodbye, but she told me I shine. Then I saw your blue eyes, and yeah, I died. So, send me back with the souvenirs 'cause I know we won't be back for at least two years. We'll talk for six hours about radio fear. Having this at home is so unclear. We forgot to say goodbye. At least I saw your blue eyes. North to the Future, that's where I will be. Yeah.
Track Name: A City and You (The Dream)
Your scattered voice makes this world seem real. My bed, a city, and you: the dream. We almost kissed, but you bit your lip. When I'm awake, it haunts me. I told you how I feel so I'll give you what you need. I'll close my eyes so I can't see that right now you don't need me. I'll close my eyes, but I won't sleep, 'cause right now you don't need me. I'll hold my breath and dive in, lungs filled with snowflakes and wind. Your name being screamed at the top of them, only to jump off the lift and walk down to the bottom. I'll shut the blinds, but I won't sleep, 'cause right now you don't need me. Everything we had was a bird in our hands. We should've let it land. I should've let it land. I'll close my eyes, but I won't dream, 'cause I need you and you don't need me. I want to give you what you need, even if that isn't me. Anything to make you happy, even if it kills me. Yeah, it killed me.
Track Name: Feeling Grey
Who knew Heaven had a ceiling when there are so many clouds to feel and perhaps a star to see? Who knew Heaven was a feeling when the last time I hit my head was on the feathers in my bed? When the sky is grey, I'll know that you're not there as Heaven's ceiling breaks over my head. The world you love is missing you more than you know, struggling to see under overcast skies. Under overcast skies, I'm missing you more than you know. Under these grey skies, I miss you more than you could ever know. The world you love is missing you more than you know, the world you left behind
Track Name: Bye
Fell apart on the inside, as I fell on the outside. I put on the wrong pair of shoes today. There were leaves on my knees and dirt on my feet. But I have to make it there. I'm gonna make it there. The clouds dripped slowly, shedding the tears that you never would. It's understood. I did all the I could. So. I tried to say goodbye, but no one knew that I was gonna leave. It never hurt so much to breath before. I would blame my blurry vision, but I could tell it was pretty damn far, the light rendering a permanent scar on my face. I stared down the deadly shine of the lake. It was three in the morning. The embers and the ash burned my cracked lips. I said I'd die with out you. Yeah, I said I'd die. No use in crying about truth. The saddest, most silent goodbye. It wasn't your fault.
Track Name: Split the Difference
I've held onto red rocks, and glaciers as well. I've left someone hanging, and hanged someone else. Both ended Hell, but the sun always rises to dry up the puddles, illuminate new eyes. So I'm ready to try, to break down the fence. Grab my hand, step on over. We'll split the difference.
Track Name: The Layover
I have left my jet stream to find where I need to be.
Track Name: Have a Good Weekend
This is all just speculation: a combination of all the things that we want, that we need, that we think that we see, and the people we please just to fall on our knees. And now? Now I'm down. "Have a good weekend," she said. Let it go straight to my head. These ribs don't got much to defend, so let's just pretend that they do. I said it best the first time: everything we do, we do because we think that we know what's best for ourselves when the truth is we have no clue.
