Track Name: Simpler
Caught by a rainy day
Near a mysterious place
We hung around like old picture frames
Unable to escape
Not willing to wait

It should be
Simpler than this
It should be
Simpler than this
But it won’t be
So don’t believe me

Was it ever this cold
It wasn’t at this time last year
We could build a road
Longer than the drive
But the car won’t start
And the radio won’t drive us out of here
Won’t drive us out, won’t drive us out of here

Slammed to the pages
Like a mishandled acrobat
Covered in spotlights and sequins and all of the that
But the circus pulls away
On to another town, a different pace, another place
Another reason to take up space, to take up space
Track Name: Melody
It all sounds the same
As it addles your brain
Many are still quite composed

You picture it well
Like the last time you fell
From a love you should never have known

The day started sinking
Some started drinking
And we all laughed and then sang along

A song to remember
With shades of December
But all the words somehow seemed wrong

(I think the melody went…)

La La La La La La La La

Echoing now
As the band’s getting loud
Some just fell out on the street

But a night with no end
And a drink as your friend
This hour’s not made for the meek

A new day was winking
Many looking around, thinking
“Who will I find to take home?”

Patience grew shorter
As someone took a quarter
And played a song that not everyone knows

(I remember the melody, it went…)

La La La La La La La La

The morning had come
As we stumbled around, numb
The day had not yet brought pain

We went home alone
But the track record has shown
We’ll probably do it again…
Track Name: Keep It On The Inside
I don’t always get the words out on the first try
If I get them out at all
Wouldn’t consider myself to be so shy
Couldn’t just pick up the phone and call

But when I’ve been in my head
I don’t understand why

I keep it on the inside
I keep it on the inside
I keep it on the inside
I keep it on the inside
Cause one day I will show you love

How could you love me without knowing, oh can’t you see
I need to set the record straight
Baby one day that some urgency will set me free
I just hope I’m not too late

If I could just hold you in my hand
You could start to understand why

I keep it on the inside
I keep it on the inside
I keep it on the inside
I keep it on the inside
Cause one day I will show you love

I don’t always get the words out on the first try
If I get them out at all
Wouldn’t consider myself to be so shy
Couldn’t just pick up the phone and call

But when I’ve been in my head
I don’t understand why

I keep it on the inside
I keep it on the inside
I keep it on the inside
I keep it on the inside
Cause one day I will show you love
