I don't know why
I'm afraid to fly
Back to my home
Where I know I'll be alright
I never could quite say
How you made me feel
The way you always did
But kid, I'd never treat you right
And I don't know where you are
And although I've come so far
I can't say that life without you isn't hard
And I don't know where to go
Please don't say "I told you so"
When I tell you I still miss you in the dark
I guess I'll always miss you in the dark.
I'll say goodbye
To the memories
And the lies I always told
I'm getting older every day
If I could, I'd take it back
But the past is just the past
With you and me,
It doesn't matter what I say
And I don't know where you are
And although I've come so far
I can't say that life without you isn't hard
And I don't know where to go
Please don't say "I told you so"
When I tell you I still miss you in the dark
I guess I'll always miss you...
In the dark
We were all we'd ever be
I was you and you were me
Crashing deeper to the bottom of the sea
Where we still lie
And if I fall out of the sky
I won't dare to wonder why
'Cause baby, I deserve to die.

I woke up at seven
Rode the bus until eleven
Called ex-lovers, and my brother
Hoping someone was awake
Circled around the campus
In a t-shirt and pajamas
As I stared out the window
And my heart began to break
But it's all good,
'Cause I'm no good
And believe me,
You don't need me.
It's a big world,
And I'm old news to you.
I started healing
Soon as I regained the feeling
In my fingers pressed so hard
Against that steel the night before
I wrote another love song
But my heart, it wouldn't sing along
My head agreed, I didn't need
To try and right the wrongs
But it's all good,
'Cause I'm no good
And believe me,
You don't need me.
It's a big world,
And I'm old news to you.
I woke up at seven
Rode the bust until eleven
Called ex-lovers, and my brother,
Hoping someone was awake

There’s wine on my shoes
From the time that I spilled it
That morning I knew
That you were the one
Who made me believe
That things could be different
To my disbelief
The damage was done
The stain, it won’t come out
So now when I look down
I see you
I see you
I see you
I see you
This bottle of liquor
I kept in my kitchen
Was finished the night
I was finished with us
I kept it around
Although it was empty
So empty like you
So empty because
We drank that bottle dry
I cried, I cried, I cried
For you
For you
For you
For you
Remember the last time I saw you? I loved you
But we were so drunk we were practically dead
And I can’t remember the things that we did
But man, I remember the things that we said
You were not the same without me
And I was not the same
With you
With you
With you
With you
No no no
Please don’t don’t don’t
I can’t can’t can’t
I won’t won’t won't
You will let me down
You will let me down
No no no
Please don’t don’t don’t
I can’t can’t can’t
I won’t won’t won't
You will let me down
You will let me down
Like you do
You do
You do
You do
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do

Try to Understand - Live
02:50

I’m sitting here in silence and I’m feeling so discouraged
‘Cause I only want to call you, but I just don’t have the courage
And it seems like only yesterday things were going fine
It’s funny how our lives can change in only seconds time
I know I’ll miss the bad jokes and the way you never called
I know I’ll miss the way your TV glowed blue on the wall
As we lay there in the darkness, try to understand it all
Understand it all
Couldn’t understand at all
I’m sorry that I never could quite say this to your face
Always hiding behind melody lines, hooks that keep me safe
And I know this might be catchy but I know you can’t relate
What’s possible’s impossible, and that I won’t debate
But I know I’ll miss the bad jokes and the way you never called
I know I’ll miss the way your TV glowed blue on the wall
As we lay there in the darkness, try to understand it all
Understand it all
Couldn’t understand at all
So don’t take this the wrong way, this is nothing like the past
I’m fine and I am okay with the fact that this can’t last
But I’ll try to fix my problems, sorry I was so afraid
What could’ve been
Should’ve been
Oh, what a mess I made
'Cause I know I’ll miss the bad jokes and the way you never called
I know I’ll miss the way your TV glowed blue on the wall
As we lay there in the darkness, try to understand it all
Understand it all
Couldn’t understand at all

Why Bother - Live

I’m not a mystery
Everything I think is written down
Keeping me from keeping you around
I can’t keep my feet on the ground
And there’s a million ways
That I could mess it up, I always do
Making plans and making them too soon
I can’t make much sense out of you
Why bother?
'Cause I’d rather
Call it off
Than wait for it to work
Why bother?
‘Cause I bet you’re better off
With some other hopeless jerk
And I like you
But what can I do?
There’s too much space
To make you stay
And there’s a price to pay
For doing what I do, but I can’t stop
I open up my heart like it’s my job
I tell myself it’s over, but it’s not
I’ve got a running list
Of all the times I tried to break my fall
And all the times I wished that you would call
And all the times I wished for you at all
Why bother?
'Cause I’d rather
Call it off
Than wait for it to work
Why bother?
‘Cause I bet you’re better off
With some other hopeless jerk
And I like you
But what can I do?
There’s too much space
To make you stay
I’m not a mystery
Everything I think is written down
Yeah, everything I think is written down
Keeping me from keeping you around
Why bother?
'Cause I’d rather
Call it off
Than wait for it to work
Why bother?
‘Cause I bet you’re better off
With some other hopeless jerk
And I like you
But what can I do?
There’s too much space
To make you stay
There’s too much space
To make you stay

Yer Going Down - Live

I’ve got a feeling
I know it all too well
I’m getting even
And I’m going straight to hell
For all the thoughts that I’m thinking
I think I’ll stick around
I found a ship to sink, and
You’re going down, down, down
You’re going down, down, down
I’ve got a feeling
I think I need your...
Touch me if you feel it,
Oh god, it hurts so much
To be the bearer of bad news
We barely left the ground
I know you did what you had to
But you're going down, down, down
You’re going down, down, down
So lie
Your way out of this one again
Cry?
I think I won’t this
Time
I’ll take you for all that you are
All that you are
All that you are
A fading scar
Won’t leave a mark
I’m off the deep end
Still swimming fast and hard
Against your current
But my current state
Won’t get me far
I’ll keep you closer now
You bring me down
But I don’t care
Don’t bother looking for me
You won’t find me anywhere
You won't find me anywhere
You won't find me anywhere
I’ve got a feeling
I know it all too well
I’m getting even
And I’m going straight to hell
For all the thoughts that I’m thinking
I think I’ll stick around
I found a ship to sink, and
You’re going down, down, down

Ghost Stories - Live

I slept on the futon
And listened to sounds in the silence
I left when the day broke
And walked through the city alone
I looked for a towel,
Forgot mine when I left Virginia
The snow in my boots
Was much warmer than you
And I just wanted to go home
Go home
Home
Through layers and layers of blankets
I felt my heart beating
We left in the afternoon
Headed down I-95
Directions in notebooks
And ice on the roads
Slowed our progress
We got lost in New York
But the view from the bridge
It was beautiful that night
All those lights
Those lights
A couple hotel rooms
And coffee shops later
I found you
Telling your secrets
And ghost stories
Soft in the dark
When you fell asleep
Quiet in the backseat
I remembered why I loved you
And my brother drove on
While I wrote you a song in my mind
It wasn’t the first time
It wasn’t the first time
It wasn’t the first time
It wasn’t the first time

Well, I never took a shortcut out
I don’t know about you
And looking back is so damn hard
But I still manage to
And I’m quick to call you over
When I’d rather call you mine
So I’ll meet you in the middle
I just need a little time
These days
Are keeping me up at night
No way
You’re taking me down
Let’s stay
Awake through the morning light
Let’s leave this town
And you keep me for the lonely days
I swear to God it’s true
I can’t blame you ‘cause I’ve done the same thing
Many times to you
There’s a truth that we cannot deny
‘Cause fate don’t lie, my friend
You’re the reason for my rise, my fall
Beginnings, and my end
These days
Are keeping me up at night
No way
You’re taking me down
Let’s stay
Awake through the morning light
Let’s leave this town
These days
Are keeping me up at night
No way
You’re taking me down
Let’s stay
Awake through the morning light
Let’s leave this town

Young Love - Live

This morning
I saw your face
No warning
And then erased
I'd recognize you anywhere
It's no surprise you disappeared
On me
Your demons
They came and went
Your heavy heart
Stayed permanent
I reached for you
But you let go
I left you in
The undertow
But we were young, love
We were young, love
We were young, love
We were young, love
We were young, love
We were young, love
We were young, love
We were young, love
We were young love
Baby, we were young love
We were young love
Baby, we were young love
We were young love
We were young love

Good Luck - Live

Keep having dreams where I just scream and no one hears me
I just swear and I just shake until I can't breathe
Wake up hot and wet and sweating through the top sheet
Wake up weary-eyed and terrified again
My indecision over who I can or will be
Is just so all-encompassing that it might kill me
And if you rearrange the puzzle, man I'm still me
You know who I am is who I've always been
Back on my bullshit
Panicked, pacing
Wasting my time
I've been
Wandering these alleyways
Trying to find a place to call my home
I've been
Humming all these melodies
Trying to find a voice to call my own
These bad dreams
They break me down but I get up
'Cause I'm still holding out for good luck
So as I wrestle out the words to say what I need
I reminisce on all the years it took to find me
What my soul has tried my whole life to remind me
That who I am is who I've always been
Back on my old shit
Honest, asking
Where is my mind?
I've been
Wandering these alleyways
Trying to find a place to call my home
I've been
Humming all these melodies
Trying to find a voice to call my own
These bad dreams
They break me down but I get up
'Cause I'm still holding out for good luck
Good luck
Good luck
Good luck
Good luck
