Roads 04:31
You know that place that feels so safe that you never wanna leave You go down roads and you always know where each will lead because there were the times, there were the nights where we Parked our cars in the middle of a road Sat in a street where nobody drove then we stayed there for hours on our backs watching shooting stars And time goes by and as hard as you try it's never gonna be the same but you always know which way is home even after you leave And I hope I find that place real soon where we're staring at the stars, we're staring at the moon it takes so time to try and find another place where we can stay and Park our cars in the middle of a road sit in a street where nobody goes Then we'll stay there for hours on our backs watching shooting stars, watching shooting stars Never wanna leave, never wanna leave, never wanna never wanna leave again Never wanna leave, never wanna leave, never wanna never wanna leave again

Brooklyn 02:59
We said, “Don't forget the nights under California skies.” I'm such a fool, such a fool for you But your eyes can't hide the truth that these roads weren't meant for you And that you'll be leaving soon cause I know you I know you, I know you Brooklyn you need time and I know that you will find the way life ought to be Brooklyn keep in mind that I'm hoping that you find your new york city dreams So we stayed on different sides, we were finished but we tried Still I'm a fool, such a fool for you Now it's trains and cabs and lights, and so long to countrysides Where I lay under the skies and think of you
 I know you, I know you Brooklyn you need time and I know that you will find the way life ought to be Brooklyn keep in mind that I'm hoping that you find your new york city dreams But how good would California feel tonight how good would California feel tonight You know I love you and I know you gotta feel what's right But how good would California feel tonight how good would California feel tonight

Baskets 04:30
It started out simple; I loved when you smiled - you loved when I sang, And maybe it was us we were fooling 'cause we thought that was nothing that'd get in our way But slowly we built up our worries, we stacked them between us, hoped they'd go away Now sometimes I wonder where you are, I used to know that every second of the day It seems that we can't find a way to take us as simple as we came did we make it so complicated that we couldn't be together anymore I wish we could take all our worries and put them in baskets and wash them away I wish we could still have those moments where nothing else matters besides you and me But it seems that we can't find a way to take us as simple as we came did we make it so complicated that we couldn't be together anymore I will always wish the best for you even when it's years since you've gone I will always wish the best for you even when you're out on your own I will always wish the best for you even when we don't speak for months I will always wish the best for you even when new lovers come I wish we could take all our worries and put them in baskets and wash them away

Broadway 07:06
She dreamed all her life of the opposite coast so she saved up her money and she backed up her clothes for the chance to be on broadway for the chance to be an actress in new york She does what she can but she never has more than a subway pass, a meal and a living room floor where she sleeps to be near broadway where she sleeps is so far from me and I say, Broadway You're so lucky 'cause she wants you and she wants you to want her so bad so take your chance. 

 So listen up Broadway, I've got something to say there are ten thousand girls who arrive everyday for the chance to be on broadway for the chance to be an actress in new york And one of those thousands is the girl with my heart she's a brunette whose voice will just rip you apart and she wants to be on broadway what she wants is so far from me Broadway You're so lucky 'cause she wants you and she wants you to want her so bad

Tree 02:51
If you were a tree what tree would you be Could I climb up your branches and stay in your leaves If you were a bird for what would you sing For the stars in the night, for the sun in the morning And I want to know, if I can touch your collar bones And I want to see, all the secret things you said that you would show me If you were a ship and you sailed on the sail when you put down your compass would you come home to me Because you have wings where bones should be will you climb the honey tree and sing the bees asleep with me Because I want to know, if I can touch your collar bones And I want to see, all the secret things you said that you would show me If you were a ship and you sailed on the sail when you put down your map would you come home to me If you were a tree what tree would you be Could I climb up your branches and stay in your leaves

Missing You 04:18
Your rocks hit my window but you know I sleep so sound Even your tears won't wake me As you call me from two stories down Wake up and come and let me in cause god i'm missing you now I call you far too often and I'm sure it drives you nuts but my calls are like your rocks were i'm only hoping that you'll pick up and say Wake up and come and let me in cause god i'm missing you I'm throwing rocks towards you now I'm trying to find something else to do now

I hope you find your way, I hope you're out there safe, world traveler
 I hope you get your break, I hope you're out there safe, world traveler Where you go, I go too, I already told you I know that your feet will carry you home (we'll find a way, we'll find a way)
 I hope that you feel that you're never alone (when you're far away, when you're far away) I hope when we meet that it's always the same (we'll find a way, we'll find a way) I know everyday that you think of my name I hope you find your way, I hope you're out there safe, world traveler we'll find a way, we'll find a way

Lions Park 04:02
Lions Park I knew why you had asked me to meet you in Lions Park and I came prepared with the shots from the booth that you left in a card and i tried to say that this was a mistake but that wasn't what you wanted to hear so everytime i see your face or hear your name ill think of Lions Park - where we thought that you and i would go on together Lions park - where we went to escape but i didn't think you'd bookend it this way. i should start to take down all of the pictures that hang around me and the cards that say "we're puzzle pieces that fit perfectly" and as hard as i'll try I won't be surprised if im finding pieces of you for some time so everytime i sing a song about you i will think of Lions Park - where we thought that you and i would go on forever Lions Park - where we went to escape oh i didn't think you'd bookend it this way. oh how foolish of me to trust in you to actually believe that you'd here for me in Lions Park - where we thought that you and i would grow old together Lions Park - where we went to escape but i didn't think you'd bookend it this way.

Fine 03:00
Don't you see that we can make it We can make it if we try And don't you see that when we're breaking We're only breaking in our minds So won't you try To keep in mind That everything heals in time And we'll all be fine Don't you know you can't control The way things go all the time Don't try and force the course of life 'Cause there's only trouble you will find Give yourself time To try and find The way that the world will unwind And remember you'll be fine So go and do your best To get it off your chest And give it a little time You've hit me with the worst And god you know it hurts Just give it a little time We'll be fine We'll be fine Try and do your best To get it off your chest And remember you'll be fine
