Living on the run
We played the record out
When the song got done
Then I came home
I drove out just to get you right
I came up on the coldest night
And you said something
“Maybe I could shake this up if I cut this out"
Well I got nothing
I think we said it all so much, we wore it out
So I guess I can see where we’re left
Left off
Maybe it’s a talk, that we’ve been putting off
And before I left, I made the bed
Packed up my bags and my old guitar
You came out and scraped off my car
And you said something:
“Maybe I could shake this up if I cut this out"
Well I got nothing
I think we said it all so much, we wore it out
Now it’s harder to see what comes next
Promised it’s all for the best
I guess I don’t know where we’re left
Left off

Small Talk

Too long
I hope you’re doing half as good
As you make it seem
Moved on
Well it was us and now
There’s you and then there’s me
And now you walk right in
Like anybody else
But catching up, it ain’t the same
Cause now we talk like we never did
I’d rather not, just feels like its scripted
Like how’s your job, I don't give a shit
I know you more than that
Two kids, riding out the summer
Playing house, now things have changed
I guess we’re old friends
Have you made up with your brother
There’s so much that we could say
And now you walk right up
Ask me how’s your music been
Save it it’s just me
Cause now we talk like we never did
I’d rather not, just feels like its scripted
Like how’s your job, i don't give a shit
I know you more than that
And now it’s small talk
And now it’s such small talk
Cause now we talk like we never did
I’d rather not, just feels like its scripted
Like how’s your job, i don't give a shit
I didn’t know how much I would miss it
And now it’s small talk
And now it’s such small talk

Kinda Feels Alright

Said you gotta make some big change
Yeah that’s got a nice ring
Loaded up my car and pulled away
I guess I’ll do my own thing
Tonight I got drunk at my best friend’s house
Sit round drinking and laughing
Last year baby I was checking in
Now I’m crashing
I catch myself when I’m on my own
Streetlights pass and I’m stumbling home
Dumb young kid with no love in sight
I swear I should be terrified
But Damn it kinda feels alright
So you went and cracked the statue
Guess that’s what I needed
Now some girls asking about that tattoo
Still think I’m gonna keep it
So if you’re getting drunk at your best friend’s house
And I come up and they’re asking
Well you said maybe we would test it out
And it’s lasting
I catch myself when I’m on my own
Streetlights pass and I’m stumbling home
Dumb young kid with no love in sight
I swear I should be terrified
But Damn it kinda feels alright

Do or Die

Do or die, you and I ain't alright these days
We just fight just waste
Each other's time, you and I got
A couple things that love brings
That ain't quite so sweet
Like we might not see
Eye to eye,
Oh, keep sharpening that knife
You save it for the night
And you’re so cold
You cut me with those eyes
Then turn around and say you’re sorry
I been thinking all night
Trying my trust
And my patience
Watch what you’re saying
There’s some things that you can’t take back
And darlin you
Keep playing the fool
You try to go back to the start
But we are where we are
It’s time to put our love on the line
It’s do or die
Summertime, on the rise
Gotta get outta the basement
Got some grown up things we’re facing
Don't we babe, I'm afraid that
We're addicted to bullshit
Too caught up in the old shit
Bet the house, never doubt
Now we’re playin with no chips at all
I catch you in a lie
You take me on that ride
And push me off
Make up until we fight
You turn around and say you love me
I been thinking all night
Tryin my trust
And my patience
Watch what you’re sayin
There’s some things that you can’t take back
And darlin you
Keep playing the fool
You try to go back to the start
But we are where we are
It’s time to put our love on the line
It’s do or die
I been thinking all night
You’ve had your way with my heart
We’ve fallen apart
It seems we put our love on the line
It’s do or die

Thinking 'Bout Love
03:19

Guess we got caught up with telling a lie now you’re leaving me lonely
I could get in my car, end up drunk at some bar but that was the old me
Remember the night what we slept on the floor and you told me you loved me
Bet you don’t ever think bout that
It’s kinda like a light went off
And now you’re dead set on giving me up
Talking like we’re so far gone
And there ain’t no use stitching it up
We could do the long haul
We could ride it out I know the rides rough, but try us
you’re just thinking about tomorrow
I’m on the road while you’re waiting at home and I’ll tell you I’m right back
You’ll find some man with no rock and roll band and maybe you’ll like that
Remember the lake when it started to rain babe and I just held ya
Bet you don’t ever think bout that
It’s kinda like a light went off
And now you’re dead set on giving me up
Talking like we’re so far gone
And there ain’t no use stitching it up
We could do the long haul
We could ride it out I know the rides rough, but try us
you’re just thinking about tomorrow
I’m just thinking ‘bout love.
I’m just thinking ‘bout love.

I Do (Bonus Track)

The sweater on your bedroom floor
You can take that
You don’t want my love no more
Honey I can shake that
I come you go,
Back around, back around
I see your ghost on a train downtown
Chasing it out, but we go way back
It’s just a baseball cap, I ain’t even missing
Or a Springsteen track, I don’t listen
And the way I act like I don’t go thinking but I do, I do
Just an old habit, I don’t gotta kick
Or all your best friends' pictures, I don’t check em
Cause you look so different like you don’t go thinking
But I do, I do
Now I’m driving by the place we met
Could you go there?
Seems like we’re getting on
I ain’t getting nowhere
I come you go
Back around, back around
I see you out at bar downtown
And now you wanna talk?
Babe I don’t care
It’s just a baseball cap, I ain’t even missing
Or a Springsteen track, I don’t listen
And the way I act like I don’t go thinking but I do, I do
Just an old habit, I don’t gotta kick
Or all your best friends' pictures, I don’t check em
Cause you look so different like you don’t go thinking
But I do, I do
Now I come you go, back around back around
I see you out in a bar downtown
But you look so different like you don’t go thinking but I do
Oh I do
It’s just a baseball cap, I ain’t even missing
Or a Springsteen track, I don’t listen
And the way I act like I don’t go thinking but I do, I do
Just an old habit, I don’t gotta kick
Or all your best friends' pictures, I don’t check em
Cause you look so different like you don’t go thinking
But I do, I do
