Chorus
I change with the seasons
You leave like the summer
I change with the seasons
You leave me like summer
Verse
Hey, hey honey this beds a little empty
But let me tell you that my head isn't
And sometimes I wish you'd never met me
Because since then I've been swimming
You got me travelling down new roads
Was thinking I was too old to ever take this path again
But if you would stay here then maybe I'd stay clear
And never look back again
Because the morning sunshine that you bring to me
Is like the songs that the loon used to sing to me
I wish you'd think of me and all the truths that we've spoken
This comfort is a new form of open
And I'm hoping it's always this easy to be here
I'm hoping it's always this easy to be here
I'm hoping it's always this easy to be here
Hoping it's always this easy to be me with you
With you, to be me with you, to be me, with you
Chorus
I change with the seasons
You leave like the summer
I change with the seasons
You leave me like summer
Verse
And in the fall we'll dance like the leaves
That have changed and jumped from the highest trees
We'll swirl around so carelessly knowing nothing could stop us
And every night as you fall asleep
I'll make my way into your dreams
Just so you don't forget me while your miles away
And I'll stay here 'til you come back
I'll stay here 'til you come back
I'll stay here 'til you come back
Til then it's just you and me against the seasons
And the streets will consume me truly
Walking solo isn't all that new to me
Who know you'd be the one to get though to me
Because usually I close off and run but there's just something that you do to me
It's so brutal, see, belle - you've got me beautifully breathless
You got me beautifully breathless, I'm breathless, breathless
Chorus
I change with the seasons
You leave like the summer
I change with the seasons
You leave me like summer

Sunny Days

Chorus
It was on a sunny day just like today
Knew you'd take all my beliefs and you'd run away
And some would say it makes me a pessimist
But we've been walking hand in hand our past next to us
Can we just be?
Verse
It was on a sunny day, the sun rays beam bright
And right from the step off I knew it didn't seem right
It's these nights I fall in love again with six strings
Because your neck lacks brass and I know its a sick thing
You're itching, the booze and drugs will let the truth out
Each night your eyes close I lay awake with new doubts
I'll move out in the morning, gee, thanks for the warning speech
Mine came early, yours gets misconstrued now the more we speak
This floor is sweet serenity, your touch will be the end of me
Bend and breathe, bob and weave, dodge all the shit you fed to me
Let it be, I've come away unscathed though
You rolled through me just like a slow tornado
I won't complain though, your halo led me on a bit
Game over, move on, it's time I find an honest kid
Chorus
It was on a sunny day just like today
Knew you'd take all my beliefs and you'd run away
And some would say it makes me a pessimist
But we've been walking hand in hand our past next to us
Can we just be?
Verse
I'm not shocked a bit, thought you got off on this shit
Play your game of cat and mouse, play house, and then you call it quits
I'll for it this time but it'll be the last
Because I don't need this I'm sure I won't be the last one
I should have asked them what your trick was
It's sick 'cause you laid it on thick and jumped ship real quick
But it's just so wrong to me how you pretend to care and then you're gone the next week
It's wrong but all I speak is: "It's okay, love"
I'm not alright with feeling small when I wake up
Hey, tough luck, but I don't deserve this
You sucking bits of me out with each of your kisses
This is not what I asked for, saw it coming for the past four
Bearing my burden is whats making your back sore
Stack more of your twisted bits away
And whip 'em out for the next bitch who says "it's okay"
But it's not okay
Chorus
It was on a sunny day just like today
Knew you'd take all my beliefs and you'd run away
And some would say it makes me a pessimist
But we've been walking hand in hand our past next to us
Can we just be?

Old Habits

On the first day I rose, nervous and broke
Because I can't sleep with you
And I think that you know I fall soft beneath your stroke
But it doesn't mean I miss you
So I'll throw back that hard liquor love
Knowing you're the last thing that I'll be thinking of
And your eyes, they shined like they knew me
I don't why they permeate through me
And I'm fine with anything do to me
On the second day I slept in someone else's bed
And I told you about it
The only mistake I've made is buried in your name
But I'm nothing without it
So here's two to eight months that I wasted in waiting
And all that time you spent debating
If I was worth your time
Undefined by blurred lines
You undermined my drive
To prove I was better than the last one
To prove I was better than the last one
By the third day I knew it wouldn't bother you
If I'd stop calling
But that same night I slept my head buried in your chest
To prevent you from falling
So let your hands wander and I'll let my mind stay
High and buzzed and tired from fighting
Because old habits die hard
Old habits die hard

Hey Rosie, I left you
Rosie, I'll come back
I didn't mean to leave you all in pieces like that
But she lacks the drive and I lack focus
And you've seen us drunk so I think you know us
And there's something scary about knowing just where you've been
I think it's better if we don't talk about it
Hey Rosie, my secrets aren't secret anymore
But I'm sure you'll keep them between me and this floor
Rosie, I'm sorry for everything that you've heard
Maybe they should have warned you
About the modern use of certain words
But the 40's were different the women weren't rich and the men had more grip on the girls unlike her and I
Rosie, let me fix you a hot cup of tea
It looks like you could use it
After your day at the factory
Rosie, I'll tell you the things I couldn't tell her
And I know you won't judge
Because you don't have those words
But I heard you crying, you thought I was sleeping
Rosie, the wars over so why are you weeping down there?
Rosie, that flags faded along with your smile
And Rosie, where's your laugh?
I haven't heard it in a while
Rosie, I'm trying to fix you and send you back home
But Rosie, I'll be honest, I can't do this alone
Because the world's cruel and scary and filled with some very disinterested people who can't see past our scars
Yeah, the world's cruel and scary and filled with some very disinterest people who can't see past our scars
Rosie, it's just us now and we'll face them head on
You can wave your banners and we'll hold hands and hum patriotic songs
But you have the 40's and I have this 40
The more we both talk the more people think that we're wrong
Yeah, you have the 40's and I have this 40
The more we both talk the more people think I'm insane
