All the Worst Things 02:53
lyrics

I wish I was drunk enough to call you You could tell me how this ends Yeah, I could talk to you for hours and not hear a single thing you’ve said Baby, I just need to hear you miss me even if it brings me down Yeah, I need all the worst things I can get right now I think I’ll go drive around tomorrow till I find you out somewhere and you’ll have found someone just like me only taller and less scared Baby, I just need to see your face drop when you spot me in the crowd Yeah, I need all the worst things I can get right now I need all the worst things, baby I wish I had something I could tell you — crashed my car or sick in bed — and you’d come running back beside me just to hold me till the end Maybe I’d be yours for just a moment till they finally lay me down Yeah, I need all the worst things I can get right now

All the Best Intentions 03:53
lyrics

It was the last thing I remembered Yeah, I think that’s right, that night I caught you throwing back at the bar and what were the last words that I told you? Something cruel as usual I just wanna see that you still care And when all my friends call it’s the worst things that I never mention I’m gonna work this all out someday I’ve got all the best intentions So shut up, come over I’ve been waiting for too long Yeah, I’ll have righted every wrong by the time that you’re through Shut up, come over What’s the worst one more could do? And I bet you’re gonna miss me too by the time that I’m through by the time I get through to you by the time that you’re picking up all the pieces off the bathroom floor Well, how could you ask for more? It was the last thing I remembered till I came to at noon with last night pounding holes in my head I wished for the past cut class, watched TV Out of sight and mind and up until my phone finally died And when all my friends call it’s the worst things that I never mention I’m gonna work this all out someday I’ve got all the best intentions So shut up, come over I’ve been waiting for too long Yeah, I’ll have righted every wrong by the time that you’re through Shut up, come over What’s the worst one more could do? And I bet you’re gonna miss me too by the time that I’m through by the time I get through to you by the time that you’re picking up all the pieces off the bathroom floor Well, how could you ask for more?

Monsters 02:57
lyrics

I was peering through the dark when you said “Babe, what are you doing?” I just waited for a moment I was sure something was moving “I was just looking for monsters” I said lamely as you left and padded down the moonlit hallway and back into our bed And I’m sure you don’t believe me but I see them everywhere They’ve been drinking all the whiskey and whispering in my ear And I’m sure you don’t believe me but I promise that’s the truth Tell me, darling, would you leave me if you knew all the little things I do? “Babe, come back to bed” I heard your voice from down the hall so I crept back beneath the covers and watched the shadows on the wall And lying there beside you I could see them in the room Well, just wait a little while, babe You’ll start to see them too And I’m sure you don’t believe me but it’s just to show I care I’ve been drawing in my demons just to keep you from your share And I’m sure you don’t believe me but I promise that’s the truth Tell me, darling, would you leave me if you knew all the little things I do? Yeah, the little things I do

Creature Comforts 02:58
lyrics

It’s kinda nice to be held I am thinking to myself now as she wraps her arms around me It’s been a while since someone’s sat with me like that It’s been a while since I have sat and looked at all that I have had instead of what I haven’t got I’ve not forgotten that I am yours and yours alone I am thinking to myself now that you’re gone and I could sleep my way through mornings looking back or I could sleep with someone new and know an empty satisfaction now For what’s it’s worth they’re just creature comforts and they are mine and mine alone It’s kinda nice to be selfish I am thinking to myself, no I am wringing out the worst of us It’s been a while since you have looked at me like that It’s been a while but I can smile now looking back and knowing I’m still in there tearing you in two just trying to remind you that you are mine and mine alone Yeah, you are mine and mine alone Don’t you forget it

Just a Minute 02:45
lyrics
buy track
Just a minute, I’m sorry Guess my mind was somewhere else for a sec Can you remind me of the last thing you said? Oh yeah, that’s right Well, why would you think I’d mind? Just a minute, I promise Guess my thoughts split for a second there Can you remind me why you thought that I’d care? Oh yeah, that’s right Well, that what I had in mind but didn’t I play it cool for a while? Just a minute, one more thing I guess I’ve got some things that I’d like to say like what made you think that this would all be okay? I mean, what do you take me for? I didn’t mean what I said before I know that I played it cool for a while but I just need a minute now to let it all out Just a minute, I’m sorry Yeah, I’m not sure what that was all about Sometimes I talk when I should shut my mouth Okay, that’s fine Well, I just had to try But did you think I was cool for a while? I was cool for a while

After All 04:38
lyrics
buy track
Well, I’m wrapped around your finger at least until we fall apart But something of you lingers after all I write these when I’m lonely You know the way I tend and I hope that you’re still thinking of me after all And, truth be told, I don’t think much about it No, I don’t think much about us after all It’s been half a year now without you I kinda hoped that it’d be worse But know that I still think about you after all
