Modern Classic
02:53
|
|
||

You’ve got all the class,
of a cabaret lounge.
Somehow you’re in the past
with a brand new sound.
You got there first,
but you feel nostalgic.
And that’s the curse,
of a modern classic.
You scroll on your phone,
While you suck on cigars.
They put an electric soul,
In a classic car.
And don’t you know,
That it drives like magic.
And that’s the curse,
Of a modern classic.
You swing for the fences,
But you’re misunderstood.
If they got your references,
All would be good.
You’re in your prime,
But you feel like you’ve passed it.
And that’s the curse,
Of a modern classic.
That’s the curse,
Of a modern classic.

This is What It's Like

Michael's tripping over boots as he comes in
All the lights are out and Katie's in bed
It's probably for the best they've been fighting
He curls up next to her
And lies awake till morning
Every night her snoring keeps him up.
And every day, she tries not to hate his guts
It's been so long without love
Only time will tell
When they've had enough.
This is what it feels like
And this is how it sounds
This is what it's like
to feel alone.
Mary sits and has a coffee by her window
Tears well in her eyes, recently widowed.
Her husband haunts her in her shadows
But to tell the truth, she's glad he follows.
And hanging over breakfast there's a quiet
But in her head, it's anything but silent
Can't even smile without lying
And from here on out, she'll be an island.
This is what it’s like.
Tommy's hiding in the corner at a party
Wondering to himself, "why does no one get me?"
Stay for an hour then he'll probably leave
All these social cues, they're not easy
Who wouldn’t want someone as just as they're good.
He doesn’t use it, but he's got a mean right hook.
Tommy could spend every day pressed in a book.
He'd have so much to give if someone understood.
This is what it feels like
And this is how it sounds
This is what it's like
To feel alone

A Piece of Me

If I broke you off a piece of myself,
would you care for me and put me up on a shelf
Wading through the water at the beach,
would you clean me up and take me home if you found me
Honestly, if you had a piece of me
Tell me the truth. Would you keep it close to you?
Honestly, if you could hold on to me
Tell me the truth. Would you keep it close to you?
Would you keep me under lock and key,
Or put me on the mantle for everyone to see. Like some kind of trophy
You could take me anywhere that you go
Put me in your pocket so you never feel alone. All alone
Honestly, if you had a piece of me
Tell me the truth. Would you keep it close to you?
Honestly, if you could hold on to me
Tell me the truth. Would you keep it close to you?

If I Married You

I fall to pieces when you say my name
I’ll tell you baby, for the rest of my days
I would cherish you
If I married you tonight
Years pass it won’t stay the same
But I wanna watch as we grow and we change
I would wear with you
If I married you tonight
And any little thing
That is bound to come along
I know I could be half as strong
With you by my side
And Every single spring,
Summer, fall and winter
days would be better
With you in my life.
(Instrumental)
Tough love when you know that you need it
Won’t back down if and when it gets heated
I would care for you
If I married you tonight
No chance of a changing of heart
I swear babe until death do us part
I would bury you
If I married you tonight
And any little thing
That is bound to come along
I know I could be half as strong
With you by my side
And every single spring,
Summer, fall and winter
days would be better
With you in my life.
I don’t want a day without you
Stay beside me and I’ll prove it too
If you’d have me do
I would marry you.
And you know I’m not scared
Of any little thing.

When You're Stoned
02:20

I wish that you would join me dear
Everything is easy here
And my smile is stuck behind my ears
And any worry seems to disappear
I got lost on my way home
Forgot all I’ve ever known
That’s just the way things go
When you’re stoned
I guess that I’m creative now
And simple things make me so proud
I might be floating on a cloud
Or maybe I’ve just melted to the couch
I got lost on my way home
Forgot all I’ve ever known
That’s just the way things go
When you’re stoned
Dealing with my dry mouth
We don’t need to go out
Stay at home and read aloud
If only I’d remember how.

Heaven Always Finds Us
02:34

One day we’ll have a waterfall in our backyard,
with a stream to run your fingers through.
And if life ever tries to take you down,
you’ll have some place you can turn to.
Oh heaven always finds us in the end
heaven always finds us
Oh heaven always finds us in the end
Even if it’s only in our heads
We’ll see our favorite bands in NYC,
or spend our nights on broadway
We’ll have a summer home out on the beach,
and spend winters down in LA
Oh heaven always finds us in the end
heaven always finds us
Oh heaven always finds us in the end
Even if it’s only in our heads
Oh heaven always finds us in the end
heaven always finds us
Oh heaven always finds us in the end
Even if it’s only in our heads
