Spokane 04:32
Boarded up windows, the old bridge sags a little more My uncle still lives past the quiet river on the left You want to be the master of your own aching plan Crossing the ocean of existence inside your head Indulge and skip to the garden of whatever pleasure In Spokane, WA you live your life your own way Remember be here now Moments come and flee time don't wait for you and me Each milestone that you see is a mountain I have climbed slowly I think I'll do my lines it's up to you how you live your life I think I'll take my time, my heart is beating with your mind Remember be here now Move to an abandoned life with rivers and hills and a fishing knife Bring the one who treats you right, but only you can make your life Remember be here now

Miles and miles I rode these tree-lined roads to a dead end Train tracks on my left and a cold one in my lap Take me to the days where there was nothing to hold us back but the roads Lives keep getting pushed in my way why can't I push them past Summer whistling Least Sandpiper holding my mind intact Muddy leaves and grass stained jeans acquired on the way back from the bar But the night is running away again Wild hearts can't be broken We don't have to resolve anything tonight Midnight walks and liquored-talks of everything way back when Every word gallops to her like the first time out of the pen I wish I had more to show with all my time and money spent but this is all Leave me standing freely under the stars in my own head It's the only time I can't control myself when I'm the only one left We're all tortured souls it's just that some can't hold it back and here we are But the night is running away again Wild hearts can't be broken We don't have to resolve anything tonight Carry me out the backdoor when it's time to go You'll know I'm ready to leave when I'm lying on the floor You're the only one I think about when I am in despair Now I'm gonna fold my hand, can't win with a pair Carry me out the backdoor when it's time to go You'll know I'm ready to leave when I'm lying on the floor You're the only one I think about when I am in despair Now I'm gonna fold my hand, can't win with a pair Carry me out the backdoor when it's time to go You'll know I'm ready to leave when I'm lying on the floor You're the only one I think about when I am in despair Now I've lost everything in me, no reason to care

Downtown 04:46
Let's all go downtown And find someone we can hold on to for a couple hours You don't know what you're looking for Till it stabs you in the eye or passes you by You dream of a perfect night Where you are so warm and held so tight We are who we want to be Whether that is tired or free We get lost inside our heads We get so lost We had come so far before we fell apart We lost track of everything that we had So let's all go downtown And find someone we can hold on to for a couple hours We are who we want to be Whether that is tired or free We get lost inside our heads We get so lost We are who we want to be We're lonely and free We're all on our way out So let's all go downtown And find someone we can hold on to

Pour the red wine so I can revel in my grave And let the demons in us run for their escape I'm coming home once the moon is looking full I'm coming home and breaking bottles on the floor Cause I'm a ghost We're just ghouls and ghosts With no remorse We're just ghouls and ghosts And you're home alone And you're home alone Board the doors and windows lock the stairs and the fireplace Hide behind the curtains use the sheets to cover your face The booze is hitting the bones and you should run for your escape The booze is hitting the bones and now a haunting is taking place Cause I'm a ghost We're just ghouls and ghosts With no remorse We're just ghouls and ghosts And you're home alone And you're home alone Cause I'm a ghost We're just ghouls and ghosts With no remorse We're just ghouls and ghosts And you're home alone And you're home alone

Took a trip while unfolding chapters Can't get away for the day You are all that I got And I wouldn't want it any other way Hold the phone, I'm almost home If I don't look both ways while I'm on the way You know I won't make it home to see you today Hey, Yeah, ooh ooh, ooh ooh Looking for a sense of calm center Where here and now is always right You are all that I need To help me through the night Hold the phone, I'm almost home If I don't look both ways while I'm on the way You know I won't make it home to see you today Hey, Yeah, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
