All Because 03:19
lyrics
buy track
Up in the morning Trying to remember and forget that dream Rolling over, checkin' my phone for a text that you never sent me Coffee with whiskey, Getting high in the afternoon Trying to fog up all of these visions I got of me being with you Are you doing it, too? All because we're so in love it's killing us You got a charcoal pencil I got a fresh pack of steel strings I'm writing songs about you while you're in your room Drawing pictures of me Then we go out with strangers Drink and get naked Think about each other more What are we doing this for? I hope it's working for you--it don't work for me anymore All because we're so in love it's killing us Oh, you're so in love it's killing us Yeah, I'm so in love... Aw, what the fuck--if we're gonna go down let's go All because we're so in love it's killing us Crazy what you go through all because we're so in love it's killing us

Broken Arrow 03:33
lyrics
buy track
I loved you in silence Pretending that I could hide it You put up your wall and I climbed it I’d do it over again You said you didn’t believe me That you could not be what I see You don’t have to see it to trust me I wouldn’t lie to a friend Maybe someday you will let me love you Maybe let yourself believe I want to Instead of telling me that I should give up hope and let go Cupid hit me with a broken arrow You said you were screwed up That getting close to you would be too much Yeah, well, maybe I’m kinda screwed up, too That’s why I want you to stay I finally found someone I want to love me Making me forget how I feel ugly You say you want it but you won’t stop running I still don’t wanna let go But Cupid hit me with a broken arrow I wasn’t careful what I wished for And now I’m wishing I could have more You got me standing outside your door Begging to be let in Sayin’ Maybe someday you will let me love you Maybe let yourself believe I want to Instead of telling me that I should give up hope I can’t, I won’t, no I finally found someone I want to love me Making me forget how I feel ugly You say you want it but you won’t stop running I still don’t wanna let go But Cupid hit me with a broken arrow I loved you in silence Pretending that I could hide it Every wall you put up, I climbed it I’d do it over again

God Roots For My Team 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Whether in Iraq or at the big game He hears every word that I pray God 'n me'll always be on the same page About who'll catch a ball or bullet that day I don't care what you think your book says I know I can read it the best Hear my words and forget the rest God and me are total best friends God roots for my team Sings songs that I sing We both like the same things And he looks exactly like me God roots for my team God roots for my team Some may say he drives a Ford But Tesla is the car of the Lord Speakers blasting Butch and 3 Stacks Always keeps the Holy Bowl packed He don't care 'bout the ink in my skin Or when I'm off on a whiskey binge We both agree on what's not a sin If it's cool with me, it's cool with Him God roots for my team Sings songs that I sing We both like the same things And he looks exactly like me If I say it's okay To be black or be gay God thinks the same way He does just what I say And when I'm an atheist We pretend he don't exist Until I become afraid Of something I can't explain If life is all a game I know I'll be okay Cuz when I believe so does He God roots for my team Sings songs that I sing We both like the same things And he looks exactly like me If I say it's okay To hate chicks or keep slaves God thinks the same way He does just what I say God roots for my team God roots for my team God roots for my team

I Feel It, Too 03:47
lyrics

You, in your vintage tie-dye sundress Turquoise rings and just-lit cigarette Standing on the steps outside I knew I could catch you out here solo Moon hung like a halo behind your head Bright as both your crystal eyes And now it's out here in the open I can tell the way you're looking at me tonight You've realized I feel it, too Forget about the words that we been getting lost trying to find We said 'em with our eyes "I feel it, too" Ain't gotta say nothing out loud right now to you I feel it, too And I don't notice how the floor drops out below me How the lights and music slowly fade away 'Til I can't see anything except your face And right here in this moment All that matters is going for it I can tell the way you're looking at me tonight You've realized I feel it, too Forget about the words that we been getting lost trying to find We said 'em with our eyes "I feel it, too" Ain't gotta say nothing out loud right now to you I feel it, too I feel it, too I feel it, too I feel it I feel it I feel it, too I can tell the way you're looking at me tonight You've realized I feel it, too Forget about the words that we been getting lost trying to find We said 'em with our eyes "I feel it, too" Ain't gotta say nothing out loud right now to you I feel it, too I feel it, too I feel it, too Ain't gotta say nothing out loud I feel it, too

2am, in the car I knew that it was crazy But I had to go The windows in your house were dark There was nothing in the driveway But you told me you were home I picked up and then put down my phone I ain't gonna chase you no more I ain't gonna chase you no more But, I'll keep running I'll keep running There's a love that I won't know If I don't let you go So I ain't gonna chase you no more I threw the photos in the flames I drank away the summer Never looking back I tried my best to curse your name 'Til I could not be bothered To hold on to the past Yeah, I'm gonna find a love that's gonna last I ain't gonna chase you no more I ain't gonna chase you no more But, I'll keep running Yeah, I'll keep running There's a love that I won't know If I don't let you go So I ain't gonna chase you no more I ain't gonna chase you no more I ain't gonna chase you no more But, I'll keep running I'll keep running There's a love that I won't know If I don't let you go So I ain't gonna chase you no more No, I ain't gonna chase you no more

Death On My Mind 03:53

I don't think about how I go It's enough just to realize once you've been told I see how my body decays Feel like I've got one foot stuck in the grave I cannot run or try to hide Can't escape and I can't decide I got death on my mind Time is slipping by Someday it'll be mine I got death on my mind I try not to think about when If I'll grow old or if I'm near the end I feel like I oughta give up If it's not forever, then it's not long enough I cannot run or try to hide Can't escape and I can't decide I got death on my mind Time is slipping by Someday it'll be mine I got death on my mind Dusted over ocean rocks Left alone inside a box I wish I could know But I'm glad that I don't When you gotta go, you gotta go I got death on my mind Time is slipping by Someday it'll be mine I got death on my mind I got death on my mind I got death on my mind Death on my mind

I see your face I hear your voice I feel the beat of my heart I start to move I have no choice I feel the beat of my heart Something 'bout you pulling me closer Face to face, skin on skin I never want this to be over When I get you here in my arms And hold you close Can you feel the beat of my heart?

You lit a fire when you struck that pose And the room around you melted down And you stood there alone and drew me into you You were a break in the darkness A calm in the chaos A bolt of lightning striking down And it's gone now But I can feel the heat around me You You ignited You ignited my heart You You ignited You ignited my heart Strike a match and watch it burn down I'm waiting for you Thought you would have come around by now But I can't see you I've been looking for light Waiting on warmth But I can't find you anywhere But I know that you're out there You You ignited You ignited my heart You You ignited You ignited my heart I won't stop 'til I let you know You are the spark setting off my soul You're the only one I want You're the only one You took a heart that was black and cold Held it to yours and you made it glow You're the only one I want You're the only one Starting wildfires Wildfires Wildfires You You ignited You ignited my heart You You ignited You ignited my heart

This One 03:52

You came to me with anger in your eyes Trying to cut the whole world down to size You never did expect someone to show a softer side Made you wanna run Made you wanna hide But I can feel it from across the room All the pain you tried to keep inside of you Haunted by the specter's of your shame without a name I know what it's like I know why you came here Maria, I know you feel alone You gotta let this one go Let this one go, Maria I don't wanna be alone But we gotta let this one go Let this one go It feels good depending on the lie So let's tell each other it'll be alright And we can make a promise not to cover our tattoos If you remember me I won't forget the good in you Maria, I know you feel alone You gotta let this one go Let this one go, Maria I don't wanna be alone But we gotta let this one go Let this one go Maria, I know you feel alone You gotta let this one go Maria I don't wanna be alone But we gotta let this one go Let this one go
