Elegy 02:15
When they call your favorite ones to your bedside To stand with you and hold your hand right before you die Are you mad, are you scared, do you even know That they're there, that they care, and wish you wouldn't go? I heard there was relief in your house when you closed your eyes I know what they were trying to say but Jesus Christ I couldn't do a single thing, I didn't really try I'll have a word with god who'll say, "forever's not my style."

Salt Song 02:04
He always told me pepper was the secret He always told me to try I still don't know why I shouldn't have told you about that little secret But only sinners lie And I just couldn't try Sit where she told you They all came to see this I'd like to see you dry your eyes Cause only babies cry Doctor told her, "We'll do our best to beat this." Doctor told her she could try Now all she do is die Ride along now, we're all going to meet it And drink the best that you can buy But yeah it'll make you want to cry

Narrow Song 02:06
My hips'll never be narrow My hands will always be small Someday my field will lie fallow Now I'm the belle of the ball I went to sleep with your sorrow And woke up spitting with fright Hey pretty girl could I borrow your boyfriend just for the night? When I get stuck in the shallows Something fries in my brain Words come out sounding so hollow How do you know you're insane? Find your way out of the narrow Take the long way home to me I'll meet you somewhere tomorrow We'll be all broken and free

Don't leave me alone don't leave your cologne on my pillows and bones I'm not strong now I'll stand in the fire I will love a liar will you never tire of this battleground You're still free, that I can see, go away from me Can't deny I've been stung by you the wicked son stinging's all that you've done my spots are showing You will try to soothe I'll fight nail and tooth don't care how uncouth don't you tell me the truth here You're too free, that I can see, go away from me You looked at me strongly and said to me calmly who else could be for me my dear if not you? That's when she showed up you pulled your shorts up I'll be a grown up you're with her now She's not me, that I can see, go away from me

If I die when I am 33 I'll wish I had smoked like a chimney All the cigarettes will laugh at my fear What is cancer when death wants you near? So let's smoke all the bad dreams away You might cough at first, that's okay Hold my hand, I'm blowing away Sing like you'll be dead one of these days If I die when I am 32 I'll wish I'd kissed you you and you I'll have all the time to be alone When there's dirt and grass over my bones So let's kiss til my soul burns away We won't last but let's kiss anyway Hold my hand I'm slipping away Sing like you'll be dead one of these days

New Jersey 00:57
Mommy I miss New Jersey I don't know what life's about Mommy it's late February Things just aren't quite panning out I wish I was still a virgin I wish I'd never known love Me and the hills we're a-hurtin for some sweet rain from above I've tried running towards it Let it catch me by surprise I've never learned how to afford it Love cleans me out every time

I Want To 02:44
I'm nothing like the woman I think I'd like to be I'm only brave sometimes and I think like crazy But I love the sound of your deep voice And I love your shoulders wide I want to feel your love on me Come here a little while I'm something like the woman I think I'd like to be I'm swimming in my feelings and I'm learning something And I love the warm in your hands I love your flickering eyes I want to feel your love on me Come here a little while I guess I'm just the woman I'm turning out to be I'm hungry for and lonesome in your sweet company But I love your leather eyelids And I love your dirty smile I want to feel your love on me Come here a little while
