Bowl of Soup 02:03
my head's a bowl of soup that's spilling every time I think of you I wake up in the morning and I turn on the news and I'm wishing that I didn't by noon 'cause all they're ever playing is the blood and abuse and I hate the way I'm getting numb to it and I've been angry before but not like this and I've felt helpless before but not like this, not like this I feel the body aches I tried to fix em with a thousand milkshakes til my face breaks and you can try to tell me that it isn't a war but I'm watching all the bullets go by I wanna be a soldier but I'm stuck on the floor now I'm choking up and I don't know why and I've been angry before but not like this and I've felt helpless before but not like this, not like this

The Train 04:09
I can't tell from the backs of the houses through the train windows, am I close to home beige little boxes pressed in close together beige little boxes I could never own all laid bare the ugliest parts of my town all laid bare the ugliest parts of my self all I feel is rolling away from the past all I want is to escape this hell I've been gone for too many days now I've been down on a darkened road lived underneath the beige little boxes took what I believed I was owed all laid bare the secrets we keep out back all laid bare the secrets we keep inside all I want is to curl up in my bed and to cry all I've done is tell myself I tried all laid bare the emptiest parts of my self all laid bare the ugliest parts of my heart all I know this mixing inside of my head all I've done is try to make a start you've been trapped in a beige little box love fences away from the tempting tracks you're better off turning tail to the window once you leave it's hard to find your way back

Mint & Roses 04:48
I filled my room with mint and roses so at least these walls look fresh and alive but the only thing that anyone knows is even rose petals will wither and die I bake my bread in the kitchen on Thursday so I could watch at least one of us rise I wanna make something worth having on my worst day to stop my brain from telling these lies wish I was 17 all skin and bones and idle dreams and everything I've done still yet to come wish I was young again with little thoughts and fewer friends time's making a fool outta me eyes grown tired from looking out the window I'd rather watch the shadows on the wall make another cuppa every time I feel low everything is better when I feel small wish I was 21 all g&ts and having fun with all of my regrets still undone wish I was young again with little thought and fewer friends I've been making a mess outta me always afraid always in pain oh what a waste of time I'm in my way my mirrors made me blind and the only fault is mine

Angel Boy 04:23
you were always a hundred feet too tall your sweet and steady ways were enough to make me fall you're shining high above impossible to touch so something's telling me that I want you way too much can we just talk about it I think I need to hear you say that you never should have let me leave that night or that you never really felt the same way can't live in purgatory for another day an angel sings a pretty thing but then he just walks away remember drinking down by the canal that summer night put your turquoise jacket on and saw your eyes ignite whenever they're on me I think I almost see a part of you that wants me and that's what haunts me and keeps me up at night can we just talk about it I think I need to hear you say that you never should have let me leave that night or that you never really felt the same way can't live in purgatory for another day an angel boy's a pretty toy but he'll never ask you to stay I gave up, I moved on ready set to let you go but then you grabbed my hand and pulled me in a single kiss, perfect 10 then you disappeared again tell me now I need to hear I felt your hand on my waist the night we danced and the way that you touched me I never stood a chance can we just talk about it I think I need to hear you say that you never should have let me leave that night or that you never really felt the same way can't live in purgatory for another goddamn day an angel sings a pretty thing but then he just walks away (oohs)

Every Day 03:49
I tried to write a letter to tell you how I feel but I hate the sight of my handwriting so now it's in a song but still the words all come out wrong and I don't know what it is I'm fighting it's odd to romanticize a love that is so real so please don't criticize the way that I tell you how I feel just let me say I miss you, I love you I choose you every day you're the best thing I hope you feel the same and I love that I get to watch you grow and change and I hope you know I love you every day I love you every day I love waking up with you you know I need my coffee or I'll be in a mood so you walk with me down to the café two messy heads of hair in brown and grey in moments like this it really seems to be that I'm sticking with you and you'll be stuck with me so let me say I miss you, I love you I choose you every day you're the best thing I hope you feel the same and I love that I get to watch you grow and change and I hope you know I love you every day I love you every day no one could know that we would fall in love fall in love and no one could know that it would be a love like the love that we made I miss you, I love you I choose you every day you're the best thing I hope you feel the same and I love that I get to watch you grow and change and I hope you know I love you every day I love you every day
