End to End 02:19
I've been staring at my shadow intently like it can look back and speak to me I figured sooner or later it'd reach out and cater to each and every need I have as it arrives in my mind It's been a long time since I thought myself as moving forward A drive for miles In your hands end to end Like it or not I've gotta go Like it or not I've had enough Like it or not its been fun Like it or not I'm gone
2.
Still Here 01:37
You're still here I left the house just before nine It's not clear what it is that's on your mind I only hope that in time you find someone who really listens Not that I've had much luck fixing what's on mine Count the time spent silent with our handheld minds Swimming in the sweet blue light You're still here Just after five you've barely moved an inch But I have to admit that I've spent some days like this I'm sure I will again
3.
Count on Me 02:07
It's getting harder to believe that I could mean something to anyone at all I'm out of bed before you're up Lost in a haze When you get home more of the same What makes you think that you can count on me? I hardly can half the time Count on me to make you feel so miserable
4.
It takes a lot to make me feel the way I do I'm not sure that you will see it from my point of view It's nice to see you every morning We just shoot the shit until the clock hits noon But when I get home I can barely move It takes a lot to make me lose my cool around you It got worse with every meeting in my living room It's hard to see you every morning Who do you think you're talking to? You don't tell me what I need from you
5.
Time spent wishing is time I've wasted trying to avoid any major missteps Time spent wishing is time spent on my own Head in my hands at a crossroads wondering when I'll learn to let things go
6.
Sometimes I want to be alone Sometimes I wait for hours by the window Play pretend I'm catching sparrows Play pretend that I don't know you
7.
With Me 02:48
I'm running out of time I need to make a decision but I'm lost in conversation with the voices in my head I think I'm doing fine I'm just a little nervous that it won't work out like I intended in the end Nothing's making sense Are you with me or not? I'm giving it all I've got I'm running out of time I need you on the line to help me sort this whole mess out Are you with me or not? I'm giving it all I've got You're not what I thought I'm sure that I'm not I'm giving it all I've got Are you with me or not?
8.
Am I missing out on something fundamental? It's too damn quiet in the house to stay Packed up all my things and took off for the West Coast to make a little noise anywhere you'd let me play When I'm home I just waste my days on my back dreaming How long will I wait for you? How far will I fall? Without you I'm nothing I'm no one at all When I'm home I just waste my days on my back dreaming I've have a feeling I don't believe in

about

I hoped it would come and go quickly
but it wore on all the same like the till plains of Ohio
