Verse 1
This time – maybe next year. You’ll pick up from where you once started.
Standing at this split in the road. A highway with no end in sight.
Too slow – the last one to draw. It leaves you up-ended and cold.
Too late – maybe you’re lucky. And better off with your aching bones.
Chorus
And it’s a cold wind that blows down this beautiful horizon
What do I gotta do to make my heart bold for you?
Verse 2
Finished – you threw to the air the remnants of our foundation.
Spoken with breath full of wine – and whispered like fine conversation.
Scattered – this house full of shards. The pieces that mattered the most.
Flattened – it’s brilliance, you know. Your power to distance what’s close.
Chorus (x1)
What do I gotta do to make my heart bold for you? (x2)
End

2. Calls Us Out
04:53
|
|||
Verse 1
Suppose that I said where it hurts
Suppose that I traced these lines
And followed fragments into the frames
Suppose that you’d asked for this time
Suppose that you’d found a way
To quantify what you’d planned to take
Chorus 1
And it calls us out – it always does
Say the mystery’s defeated – something we won’t rise above
And it calls us out – will full demand
No apologies for substance – no recourse or reprimand
And still we want to ride it out
Verse 2
You can be kind to a fault
You can float calmly through
And light the day with thoughtful concern
You can be cruel when you want
You can destroy whole themes
With narrow minded judgment you speak
Chorus 2
And it calls us out – it always will
Sparing no one on its radar – there’s precision in its kill
And it calls us out – until we cave
And we’re only left with fragments- of the path we tried to take
And still keep holding on.
Still keep holding on.

3. Old Time Notion
02:34
|
|||
Verse 1
Oh dear lover – we kept it undercover
Your silence makes it deafening
I know now it’s over – but I’m afraid to say it
I guess that some things never change
Chorus
It’s just an old time notion, that’s all
Playing some tricks on my mind
It’s just an old time notion, that’s all
Running in circles and lines
This is my foolish heart saying “goodbye”
Verse 2
We could fake it – pretend like it’s worth saving
Though conversation reveals sides
It’s best to end it – while feigning reverence
We’ll call it equal compromise
Chorus (x1)
This is my foolish heart saying “goodbye”

4. That, Now
02:54
|
|||
Verse 1
So you want to be – tin hearted
Stuck out on that path – you started
So you want to be – throwing back, now
So you want to stand ten steps further – from the center of attack, now
Chorus
Oh, is there life after pain?
Someone show me how
Can I laugh in exchange?
Cause I don’t know that, now
Verse 2
They said “It’s no use. She is broken.
Guess you’ll need to close with an open.”
They said “Give it up. Who you foolin?
You will find your dreams only flesh out – into shapes of excuses.”
Chorus (x2)
No, I don’t know that, now
Said, I don’t know that, now

5. Fool's Escape
03:26
|
|||
Verse 1
Darling this world is yours for the taking
Could you find a way to whisper a plea, somehow?
Player this game is yours for the making
Pre-chorus
It’s a barrier
It still breathes
It can carry us
It will lead
Chorus 1
It’s a fool’s escape – it’s a wild idea
It’s just one less feeling to hold inside
It’s just broken parts
It’s enough to overpower what you thought was thrown out
Verse 2
Seeker it’s wrong to navigate solo
There’ve been crazier subsets in phase and flow
Muddled with prose and complex arrangement
Pre-chorus
We could thrive with this
We could cleave
Pledge allegiance to
False made leads
Chorus 2
It’s a fool’s escape – it’s a wild idea
It’s just one less feeling to hold inside
It’s courageous fight
It’s a complicated truth that will make us question hard times

6. Tennessee Skyline
05:08
|
|||
Verse 1
Called you at a bad time – just to say “hello”
Seems we’re never good at conversation
I can hear the sadness when it’s time to go
But we’re only lines apart – and we’ll finish what we started
Chorus
Tennessee skyline – what do you see?
I’ve been holding these dreams for a while now
Tennessee skyline – what does it mean?
Cause these old regrets won’t change – and we’re wasting time
Verse 2
Moving at this fast pace – it’s so hard to know
If we’ll ever reach our destination
I can feel the poison sink into our bones
Trading portions for the precious – to eradicate the stones
Chorus (x1)
Bridge
Did I call you at a bad time? Am I making any sense?
Do I only try to be kind when I want to mend?
Can we chase it down and hold close what got lost in plans?
Barter something from tomorrow – just to make it through today
Chorus (x1)
Oh, these old regrets won’t change – and we’re wasting time
Did I call you at a bad time?

7. On Dancing
03:08
|
|||
Verse 1
We do the dance – and do si do
Moving through motions like we do
We swear the words – and vow to know
The evidence serves as solid proof
Chorus 1
We’re sinking low – and fuel cannot sustain us
There’s light ahead – but can the light maintain this?
The road is dark – and we can’t find our way
Verse 2
I’m ten feet tall – and paper deep
Figure you’d figure that by now
The urge to fight has gone to sleep
I’d gladly exchange it to feel numb
Chorus 2
The edge is gone – and fight cannot sustain us
There’s light ahead – but will the light maintain this?
The road is steep – and we are not ourselves
Not ourselves

8. Precious Silver
04:01
|
|||
Verse 1
Precious silver, purest gold
You are my blue when all is gray
Lies we took for lies we told
Will we disappear into the fray?
Chorus 1
Cause everything’s different
Everything’s changing, now
But I am left tired
I am left broken down
Verse 2
Precious lover, purest soul
Do you seek my when you call my name?
I could walk with shoulders tall
If you loved me without disdain
Chorus 2
Cause everything’s changing
Everything’s different, now
I am still tired
I am still broken down
Bridge
They say “again, we’ll run this out.”
They’ll say “we’re wrestling with the story
And we can’t back down.”
Chorus 3
But everything’s changing
Everything’s different, now
We are left tired
We are left broken down
