Waiting to Spill Lyrics

05. Words I Used

Tell me on the phone
You know where my heart’s gone
Why I’m so withdrawn
Every word is more obscure
To my heart’s song
And I can’t hold on

(Ahhhh)

Yesterday I wrote a little tune
I’m afraid you’ll hate the words I used
I’m sorry but it’s been weighing on me
Oh I can’t lie when I sing
No I can’t lie when I sing

My dear
there’s nothing left in here
So just hold on
But don’t hold on to me....

Tried my best this time
To keep your hand in mine
But it’s written now
And I’m rippin out the page

And you fantasize
Of chasin lights
But you won’t get far
With half your heart at sea

And New York’s callin’
for you darlin
So pack your bags don’t throw it all away

You know I’m fallin
From you darlin
And I’m afraid there’s no more room to stay…to stay

I’m afraid there’s nothin left to say

I still wait for you to call
Though I told you that we shouldn’t speak outside normal protocol
How could you give me your all?
Why should you wait for me at all?

‘Cause Yesterday I wrote a little tune
I’m afraid you’ll hate the words I used
I’m sorry but it’s been weighin on me

Oh I can’t lie when I sing
No I can’t lie...

06. Snowbank Blues

been working for the man
Every goddamn day
I’ve been smoking with my friends
To wash the nights away
Catchin up on sleep’s harder when I’m wakin up next to me

There’s a girl from down the road
Sendin looks my way
Frankly dear I’m not quite sure
What I’m supposed to say
How can I say no?
When you’re a thousand miles away

Wish I could roll the windows down
But the snow has swallowed up our little town

Well there’s coffee in my cup
And cameras in my face
Well I think I’ve had enough of all these
People in in this place
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
Could be a thousand miles away

And There’s somethin on my chest
It’s really messin’ with my health
Just because I’m smilin,
Doesn’t mean that I am smilin for myself
Take the stage and put the mask back on the shelf

Wish I could roll the windows down
But the snow has swallowed up our little town

I know you had to leave
But you didn’t have the right
To take the sun
You stole it in my sleep

07. Follow the Sound

Martha’s in the hallway
Running up and down
It feels just like a Monday
Following the sound

Such an empty driveway
Everyone’s in town
I can’t believe it’s Tuesday
Maybe while they’re out
I’ll let it out

Stumble in and out
of a moment with the moon
I know I’m not the only one
she’s talking to

And this troubled head of mine
Is making its big debut
I sincerely want to get better
But I sincerely know that it’s true

it’s been a while
It’s been a while
Should I run?
x2

I’ll quit the race and turn my head
To see what’s left
And who I kept
I’ll brush the guilt off of my chest
When there’s nothing left
And all I said
Was it’s ...

...been a while
It’s been a while
Should I run
x2

Every morning’s
Such a let down
Every memory
I put my foot down on
Stands up taller
And If I could cash in for silence
If my pride could let me ask for silence
Silence...
