I Bet

Well there's a first time for everything
but you just get one
But you know that don't you
The things we've done
Remember thawing trepidation
when it grew like a rose
And we watched the milestones
fall like dominoes
We took ourselves on baby steps
to the east end from the west
We were dumb just idiots
trying to get a grip on the present tense
It was real good
But do you ever think about it at all
and does it ever even cross your mind
It's funny how a couple trips around the sun can feel like a lifetime
I never gave much of a thought
to chance before
I walked the length of it
to your door
But that street you drew with such finesse
I find I cross it less and less
They can take this city out of you
but you'll still haunt this neighbourhood
And you always will
I bet
You're still the same even though
that was all so long ago
I'll never change I'll never try
cross my heart and hope to die
While you're out there cutting round
I can't seem to keep from falling down
Lately I just out of spite
Been finding ways of staying upright
But do you ever think about it at all
and does it ever even cross your mind
It's funny how a couple trips around the sun can feel like a lifetime
And do you ever think about it at all
and does it ever even cross your mind
You're on the other side of the world and I'm out of my mind

Stay In

You've got to get right
So no more late nights
No more getting home just in time to leave
You've got to get straight
Before it's too late
Before nothing makes you feel good anymore
And the morning sun seems so cruel these days
Things fall into place the same old way
So maybe you should stay in
This mess that you've made's
Becoming a maze
And every day you end up back where you begin
So try your luck now
Before it runs out
This waiting game is one you'll never win
And the morning sun seems so cruel these days
You're crawling to the door the same old way
Nowhere left to go
You're chasing the moon home
Another night watching the wheels spin round
It's getting closer now
The lights are turning out
One by one they're leaving you behind
It's time to accept
Controls have been set
To the heart of something gone and that's just fine
Stuck in your own lane
You're riding to the end
Just take another breath and draw the line
Nowhere left to go
You're chasing the moon home
Another night watching the wheels spin round
It's getting closer now
The lights are turning out
One by one they're leaving you behind

Second Hand

I can't relax and act like everything's just fine
If I talk back just not I'm not trying to be unkind
'Cause there's a deadline for me and there's a deadline for you
and it's coming for us all without a second to lose
And I won't let it slide this time
I like what you've done to the place it looks oh so nice
But I can't take my eyes off of everything else outside
All this sitting around it really gets in my head
Behind this tasteful veneer I know it's all lined with lead
I'm so sorry if I seem distracted
With wheels in motion there's no turning back
Now it's full steam ahead and we're running out of track
'Cause eveyone wants peace of mind
But it's getting harder all the time
There's really no too small a change
When we all know what's coming
Everyone wants peace of mind
But the gears are turning all the time
Are you really gonna look away?
When we all know what's coming
I hate to ask but could you take a seat over there
It's only that it seems to us that you just don't care
And yeah we hear what you say but what you're saying is wrong
And yeah we'll have your debate just after our work is done
But until then we're kind of busy
With wheels in motion there's no turning back
Now it's full steam ahead and we're running out of track
But if I reach out with both my hands
Take two steps back it all keeps coming
Dig my heels as hard as I can
No matter what I want it all keeps coming
No we're living by the second hand
There's not time for second guessing
'Cause eveyone wants peace of mind
But it's getting harder all the time
There's really no too small a change
When we all know what's coming
Everyone wants peace of mind
But the gears are turning all the time
Are you really gonna look away?
When we all know what's coming

Silent Siren

You sat in silence while my dumb mouth floundered
I wasn't saying anything at all
You sipped from your straw and you smiled politely
I looked at my feet, at the floor, at the wall
It's dumb, it's so dumb
It makes me want to stay home, and never come out
But I'll stay quiet, if you stay quiet
And maybe in time
Things just might
Whisper it to me
your voice a silent siren
I'm here I'm listening with my all
with every bone
Whisper it to me
your voice a silent siren
I'm here I'm listening
the world around us is gone
Sat side by side, either side of a canyon
I held my breath as the wind picked up
But if a hurricane blows I'll still hear those hushed tones
Your feather locution it keeps me afloat
And I think I'm falling, I'm falling, watch me fall
It's dumb, it's so dumb
It makes me want to stay home, and never come out
But I'll stay quiet, if you stay quiet
And maybe in time
Things just might
Whisper it to me
your voice a silent siren
I'm here I'm listening with my all
with every bone
Whisper it to me
your voice a silent siren
I'm here I'm listening
the world around us is gone
