Oh You try too hard. You try too hard. You try too hard. Oh Oh Dear God. Oh Dear God. It breaks my heart. Ohhhhhhh ohh Girl You walk on shells. You stand on spikes. You go through Hell. Girl You walk on shells. You stand on spikes. You go through Hell. Ohhhhhhh ohh What if you trip? What if your lips Started to part? What if the words Started to slip? What if they heard All of your thoughts? What have they got That you don't got? Why is your smile Painted in place? Why are your feet Stuck in your heels? How would it feel? How would it feel? How would it- Feel Feel Ohhhhhhh Ohhhhhhh Oh You try too hard. You try too hard.

Little Town 03:34
The minute I woke up from my dream I knew That I was no longer in my dreams because my arms were empty. The sun it rose like a dying breath Up from the mountain that you went to way back when You left. Way back when You left. And I don't Want to know If you're coming back Cause you'll go Again. I know you'll just leave again. I know you'll just leave again. Not a day has ever passed I haven't thought of when I left that little town And you. Oh, and you. And I don't Want to know If you're coming back Cause you'll go Again. I know you'll just leave again. Don't go. I won't leave Again. Please stay Right here With me. Ohhhhhh. I know you'll just leave again. I know you'll just leave again.

Simmer 03:53
Light through the blinds. Opened my eyes. Nothing changed. Sat in bed I hung my head and Prayed For something strange. It all went to flame. Thought it'd never be the same, But it simmered down and Looked just like before. If only Time will tell, then we'll never figure out Because Time is silent Evermore. Caught a cab and Left the city Just to see Different things. "Lights all red," The driver said. "The streets Don't want you leaving." It all went to flame. Thought it'd never be the same, But it simmered down and Looked just like before. If only Time will tell, Then we'll never figure out Because Time is silent Evermore. I wore the soles out of my shoes, I wore my soul to black and blue, But if I walk another mile, Maybe I'll find something worthwhile. I wore the soles out of my shoes, I wore my soul to black and blue, But if I walk another mile, Maybe I'll find something worthwhile. It all went to flame. Thought it'd never be the same, But it simmered down and Looked just like before. If only Time will tell, Then we'll never figure out Because Time is silent Evermore. If only Time will tell, Then we'll never figure out Because Time is silent Evermore.

Is three days Enough to say? Is it enough to say? Cause if it's enough To rise from the dead, Is it enough to say all left unsaid? You whispered close Into my ear As you held me tight. You said it'll be alright Even if it won't, And we know it wont. Oh don't waste your love on me Cause if I could stay I know that you'd leave. Love is so sweet when you go to sleep. Love is so sweet when you go to sleep. Darling, come here. It's okay to be scared. We'd still be unprepared In a hundred years. So take down this wall, Come into my arms. My love won't be wasted If it's keeping you warm. Oh don't hide your face from me. I just want you to find what you need. Love is so sweet when you go to sleep. Love is so sweet when you go to sleep. Ohhhhh, Ohhhhhh Ohhhhh, Ohhhhhh Love is so sweet when you go to sleep. Love is so sweet when you go to sleep. Love is so sweet when you go to sleep. Love is so sweet when you go to sleep.

Power Out 04:56
It had happened before. The darkening sky. We cleared the floor. Threw our windows wide. The telephone polls Splintered in the road. We watched the wires spark in the water. Fall like dominoes. And the power went out. And the power went out. The wicks of our candles flickered and teased. At the woodwork. We were swaying, Imitating the flames. In the quiet, in the silence, the symphony, We were dancing. One two three, one two three, one two three, one two three. One two three, one two three, one two three, one two three. And the power went out. And the power went out. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh And we did as good men should. Yeah we did as good men should. Yeah we did as good men should. Yeah we did the best we could. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh One two three, And the power went out. One two three, And the power went out,
