Little Touch 04:38
lyrics
How goes the night? Does the dark still hold you close A lonely child hanging on to pictures of a ghost Red, white, and blue hang from the place you used to stay "Never again," were the last words that I heard you say I ever heard you say A little drop of courage and a little smile and wave And a little touch of magic in the way your hips would shake If you want me when you're smiling, you sure don't want me anymore If you need me just to hold you I don't have to know the score But just let me know Carry on, I drive to Boston in the night Move along, I kept the records, turned out the lights Where are you now? Sitting under the cold fluorescent lights? Still playing loud? 'Cause I remember when things were right Things were alright We were holed up in my bedroom wearing out the Gaslight tapes Burning holes into the ceiling, breathing fire and screaming flames Like an angel in the morning, kiss this devil and say goodnight Hold me closer, you whispered sweetly "Turn it to Mulholland Drive" But not tonight

Keep Me Alive 04:15
lyrics
I hope the world ends before the party does 'Cause I need time not to pass Tequila and trampolines and burnout eyes You know they saved the best for last Maybe tomorrow the sun will start shining But the dawn's still far enough away Stay here in my arms in the darkness No other world beyond the smile on your face Pretend the mascara's not running Regrets are for another day Lets make the clock stop ticking Let the lights fade away Rings on your fingers and god on our tongues I want the feel of your lips and the beat of the drums No face in the mirror, no tears in your eyes It's your hands in mine that'll keep me alive Can you hear the music playing only one room off Guitars crash in the midnight sound Is this the kind of song you'd dance to all night If you had another boy around? But tonight there's no need for motion Lets just watch the walls around us burn Tell stories of Shakespeare and New York boys Sit back and watch the world turn Ignore any thoughts of tomorrow Rest your head on my shoulders and stay Just melt in my arms and let it go on Would you want it any other way?

Summer Song 05:13
lyrics
I remember when the sun shined all day And I remember when we took our time But now the summer has gone away What kind of fools we were to think it would stay Remember driving, not a care in the world Listen to the radio play songs about girls Time was everywhere, it meant nothing to me The sun kept on shining, baby we were free But it's too late for walks in the park And it's too late to be scared of the dark A sun-kissed face on a moonlit night Singing songs that didn't rhyme In the summertime I remember playing guitar by the road I remember all the stories that we told I'd strike a match, she'd give me a flame No matter how often she burned me, I'd come back again

Josephine 04:26
lyrics
Making songs out of inkblots and stomachs of gin Sing ill-fated dreams to the stars at 2:30 AM All I want is to sing slowly and only to you I sit, the proud and the lonely, bleeding the truth Pour a drink for tonight, strike a match for the promised land Red wine, coffee, and cigarettes curled up in our hands Breathe me in, bleed me dry, that's what we call romance Josephine, promise me you won't make any plans Cut my teeth on the diamonds that litter your tongue Tried to see through the fumes of your smoking gun A sad song's best for winter, but now we're in spring So what's left for us but the sound of the telephone ring
