Winter 04:32
lyrics
A foot of snow fell overnight I swear you forgot how to drive It's been a while since we had that fight Should we hash it out Or is there nothing left to say I could never hold myself that high I could never hold myself that high I said that I would take a walk Been a long day, needed to clear my thoughts "Won't you get your socks all wet?" Said "I don't mind I could leave 'em out to dry" I could never hold myself that high I could never hold myself that high Passing through another phase Looking through the yellow pages We found our names had been scratched out Should we take a year Or should we say it's over now I could never hold myself that high I could never hold myself that high I know you've been waiting for a sign I know you've been waiting for a sign Hold my hand we'll make it for tonight Hold my hand we'll make it for tonight I could never hold myself that high I could never hold myself that high I could never hold myself that high I could never hold myself that high

West of Eden 03:51
lyrics
Before too long I felt so young but now I’m old It’s said and done I felt at home but now I’m gone Tide’s low I can walk on the ocean floor West of Eden Forlorn feeling Where will my bones rest? I made a fool of my self Will you pick up the pieces, When I leave this garden of Eden? Silenced a room With a case of me, change is coming soon My legs are shaking Made a promise to be honest to you Go home, I’ll see you when the morning comes Close your eyes I’m not taking off tonight Where will my bones rest? I made a fool of my self Will you pick up the pieces, When I leave this garden of Eden? Where will my bones rest? I made a fool of my self Will you pick up the pieces, When I leave this garden of Eden?

Easy and Free 04:24
lyrics
Been going over what you said Wine bottles fill your side of the bed Feel like I just settled down But I might up and leave Is it asking a lot to be Easy and free Spent summer nights with you on the patio Now I almost drank dry my watering whole Well this fall fell fast and the winter died old Come back my shelter, my home Where would I be if it hadn’t been for you Would I be on the ocean or the moon Who would I be if it hadn’t been for you Easy and free Or a broken hearted fool I wish you all the best and it’s hard to say I can’t wish ill on you though it’s been a hard couple days The worse I feel the better you seem but I guess I’ll be okay I’m not alone or the first to feel this way Where would I be if it hadn’t been for you Would I be on the ocean or the moon Who would I be if it hadn’t been for you Easy and free Or a broken hearted fool Where would I be if it hadn’t been for you Would I be on the ocean or the moon Who would I be if it hadn’t been for you Easy and free Or a broken hearted fool

I'd Be Lying 03:18
lyrics
I'll have a glass of wine To another wasted night Heard your sound Pushed it down Like you'd ever know She's letting go tonight So I stumbled down the street I hoped that I would see An open sign Violet lights The end of my road Who cares what that might be I can't deny the light that's in your eyes I would be lying if I knew what that's like I don't know what that's like I'd be lying You're right I am ashamed Don't lie down in this grave Ring the bell, come to tell me that I had done wrong And all I couldn't save I can't deny the light that's in your eyes I would be lying if I knew what that's like I don't know what that's like I can't deny the light that's in your eyes I would be lying if I knew what that's like I don't know what that's like I can't know what that's like I'd be lying
