Early Show 03:30
Hey friends / I started a new band / I watch their eyes roll / I watch their eyes roll / Caitie says / "What does it sounds like?" and I say / "It's hard to explain but kinda like Radiohead / but it's different."/ and she says / "Make sure you let me know / if there's an early show"/ I will / I will Hey team / I'm releasing a new song / they say there's no wrong way / except that way / Brendan says / "We need a release plan. It's gotta be so cutting edge, uh, something like Radiohead's . . . / but different." / and he says / "Don't you go and be silly / and put that shit out for free." / I will, / I will

Hard to Know 04:45
The way that you looked on that day / I knew that I could not relate / to the shock that showed up on your face / the look of loss you wore with grace / staring at cracks on the ground / your call ended without a sound / no "goodbye or see you later" / your breath was getting deeper / 'til you started hyperventilating / just when you got off those pills you were taking / And if your whole life turns to shit / I know it's hard to know / you drag your body around behind you / everywhere you go / you don't wanna live and I know it's hard to know / to realize you can't just let it go / I said that I would be right back / I had to go get cigarettes / and you said "Don't leave here / check the back of the freezer" / later on the balcony / I thought I heard a scream in the back alley / and came in to find you crying / 'he had no one beside him" / then you started hyperventilating / just when you got off those pills you were taking / And if your whole life turns to shit / I know it's hard to know / you drag your body around behind you / everywhere you go / you don't wanna live and I know it's hard to know / to realize you can't just let it go /

Did I drag you along? / I was under the impression that things were going well / why didn't you mention / that you weren't there / as my fingers combed through your hair/ you said it's been about a year / give or take and you can no longer fake it and as you stared at the TV / and mumbled something about feeling empty I knew / there's a truth I have to face / do I have to face it now? Did I somehow shut you out? / what did I say that maybe I should of kept to myself? / well why didn't you tell me / that you checked out when you told me just to come to your house? / you'd need two more weeks to work it out / give or take and you can no longer fake it / as you sat in emergency / and said something about not wanting pity I knew / there's a truth I have to face / do I have to face it now? as I noticed your breathing / had slowed in time with the measure you need me / I knew / there's a truth I have to face / but I can't face it now

Your drool / seeps into the carpet / when you sleep you look departed / like you could never know the shameful things I've done / and only love for everyone / with both your hands against the sun / and both your sides are really one / your hair matted to your face / this used to be your place / do you miss it? / do you miss the leaky faucets / the surprising lack of closets? / to see it now for the first time / I'd go back on all the stupid things I've done / and only love for everyone / with both your hands against the sun / and both your sides are really one / close call / we almost didn't kiss / it's hard to be so pissed / when you're perfect / I miss watching you sleeping / I miss watching you reading / if you bring me to your new life / I'll be what you need from me right now / and only love for everyone / with both your hands against the sun / and both your sides are really one / and both your hands I was wishing for my life to be over / till' you decided to invite yourself over /

Timezone 04:19
All the people out tonight / In Robson Square there's a snowball fight / first dates on the gallery steps / ice skates click as they spin pirouettes / and I / can feel myself running dry / forgetting what it feels like / to get it just that right it's been awful lonely living in the city without you / sleeping in your timezone, call you when I get home / and you're just waking up take the last train back to mine / biding my time on the millennium line / couples stumble home with wine on their lips / hung in the air the sound of a kiss / and I / can feel myself running dry / forgetting what it feels like / to get it just that right it's been awful lonely living in the city without you / sleeping in your timezone, call you when I get home / and you're just waking up / I'm happy just to think about you on this night walk baby / Imagining you sleeping, what you might be dreaming / and you're just waking up
