Cigarettes and Gin

Four walls all around
Two feet on the ground
Got my friends around me
I think that I've been found
I was planning on starting tonight
I think that I'll figure it out
Everything's a sin
Like cigarettes and gin
I wanna kiss your lips
So come with me real quick
I was planning on starting tonight
I think that I'll figure it out
(we'll figure it out, we'll figure it out)

This Time

And I'll save my grace,
for the women who took your place
And I'll stow my legs,
back in the promise that we both made
I know it can be difficult,
I'm tired of being typical x2
This time,
This time, I said
You're mine
Alive or dead
I've been down so many roads,
But I stuck to the path that I had chose
There are some, who lose their way
You're one of them now but I'm sure you'll find it one day.
This time,
This time, I said
You're mine
Alive or dead

Honest Game
03:58
|

|
If I lose myself, don't follow me
If I lose my eyes, don't cry for me
Been down this road before, came out happily
Been down this road before, where is it taking me
If you go outside,
Remember to wear your pride (it's cold outside)
When you leave me
I'll be the same, (it's an honest game that we both played)
If I lose some face, don't draw for me
If I lose my faith, don't coddle me
Been down this road before, came up drunk and free
Been down this road before, been here repeatedly
If you go outside,
Remember to wear your pride (it's cold outside)
When you leave me
I'll be the same, (it's an honest game that we both played)

The Connoisseur
04:30

The winters' come and gone
I'm still lost
This blizzards' something else
It's frozen my heart
You were the messenger
Of all those things done wrong
I was the connoisseur
Of all this vacant love
I was lost
(I was lost)
I was cold
(I was cold)
Gave my heart
(Gave my heart)
Gave my soul
(Gave my soul)
x2
The spring is here to stay
It's a new day
The leaves are growing fast
Get rid of this past
I was the messenger
Of all those things done wrong
You were the connoisseur
Of all this vacant love
I was lost
(I was lost)
I was cold
(I was cold)
Gave my heart
(Gave my heart)
Gave my soul
(Gave my soul)

The Years

Woke up and it's December,
Another year drops, by the sea
Feels like I just lost a brother,
And my mother's out to breed
There was a girl here last November,
Big dark eyes and long brown hair
It fell apart the mid of summer,
Girl I hope you found fresh air.
Oh, the years,
they fall from my face like tears
I wish I could I wish I can't
The time don't stop for anything.
There was a time that I remember,
A young boy questioning the sky
Why did you bring us all together,
If we all grow old and die.
Oh, the years,
they fall from my face like tears
I wish I could I wish I can't
The time don't stop for anything.

Family Ties

I was just a boy,
You were just a man
You taught me that
my plans are always shaped by my own hands
and I,
I was just a man
growing underhand
You helped me understand
my plans are always in my hands
and I,
I want, I need, I be
and I
I want, I need, I be
I never understood
How you could be so good,
You taught me love and strength
And how to make a good thing great
and I,
I was just your son
You were just my dad
You taught me anything I am,
You taught me everything I am
and I,
I want, I need, I be
and I
I want, I need, I be

Scratch That
05:13
|

|
You know, we forgot, the simple things
(like how to sleep alone)
You know that I left your lies, in a young boy's eyes
(in another time)
And if you come back I'll be waiting, scratch that I'll be dating someone new (she'll be cuter too)
So you can live your life alone, in a broken home
(it'll even out this score)
I've got a new vice,
I've got a new vice,
I know what she likes, she likes
She likes me.
You know, we forgot, the simple things
(like how to say goodbye)
You know that I left your lies, In a young boy's ire
(you can torture his desire)
And if you come back I'll be waiting, scratch that I'll be dating someone new
(she'll be faithful too)
So you can live your life alone, in a broken home
(bitch you better roam)

Hard of Hearing

You never listened to a single song I wrote for you
You were always looking for, always searching for, something new
So now it's over, now it's over and done
Say goodbye to, say goodbye to the setting sun.
But no matter what you do,
I'll be rooting for you.
Be a lover till the end,
yes, you'll always be my friend.
(do do do do do do do da do)
You need to know how, need to know how you hurt me so.
But I can't sum it up, can't express it in a song.
So now it's over, now it's over and done
So sit on top of, sit on top of the roost you've won.
But no matter what you do,
I'll be rooting for you.
Be a lover till the end,
yes, you'll always be my friend.
(do do do do do do do da do)

Take You Home
04:15

We were kids, lying on the stones
Tried everything to grow old
I know this love, is scarring you to the bone
It's something I wanted since lyin' on those stones
Don't you, oh don't you get tired of sleeping alone
I want you, I want you to love I'm taking you home
I've been this way for hours trying to allow this to go on
Don't you, oh don't you know I'm taking you home
(I'm taking you home)
I was lost, lost and so unsure
Got my hair, cut down short
Said my dear, it's time to grow up
What we had was never something close to love.
Don't you, oh don't you get tired of sleeping alone
I want you, I want you to love I'm taking you home
I've been this way for hours trying to allow this to go on
Don't you, oh don't you know I'm taking you home
(I'm taking you home)

Whoa, I'm needin'
Whoa, I'm Bleedin'
Part of me, made it free
You've made your bed, sleep in it
Part of you, that's your cue
You've made your bed, sleep in it
Whoa, I'm so tired
Whoa, I feel wired
When you're around, I leave the ground
You've made your mind up honey
We're come so far, my foot's stuck in the door
So come to bed and fuck me
