One of us writes
One of us waits
One of us won’t be long
One of us laughs
One of us might be wrong
One of us wakes
While one of us is baking bread
One of us dreams
And one of us sleeps instead
Thats the sum of us
Oh to make you feel like home
One of us writes
One of us writes alone
One of reads
And one of us sings along
One of us drives
One of us up the wall
One of us feels
One us might be wrong
Thats the sum of us
Oh to make you feel like home
Oh can you make it
Halfway round
I’ll be there waiting
With open arms
Arms
One of writes
One of reads along
One of us smiles
One of us might be wrong
One of us tires
One of nods our head
One of us dreams
One of us sleeps instead
Thats the sum of us
Oh to make you feel like home

Twin Lakes
Yeah, don’t lay that on me
Hypnotized
Only see the serpent in your eyes
Only gonna take your own advice
Only wear the wool that makes you blind
Chorus
Got your mind made up
You can feel that baby love
Now you’re life ain't what you want
Sounds like a crime
Yeah, don’t lay that on me
Scandalized
Only when you click like or subscribe
Selling supplements all on the side
Only gonna take your own advice
Chorus
Say your prayers without me
I’ll be fine
Get along without me
I don’t mind
I just want you babe, to be kind
And share this little world
I just need you babe
To be right and find truth after all
These liars
Yeah, don’t blame that on me
Hypnotized
Scandalized
On the side

Reminder
Do you remember dear?
Why did we stop coming here?
We’re we feeling old
If you could come so near
I think we won’t
Oh
Chorus:
Cuz everytime that you step in front of my eyes
My world it starts to feel narrow
And everytime that I think I realize
What I got in my marrow
Well there you are
Oh
Do you remember dear?
I could remember we’re
Standing in the snow
Think you could come right here
And shut that door?
Oh
Chorus
Time has a way
Of making life small
But you and a day
Thats all
Could you remember dear?
Yeah could you remind me dear?
Chorus

Snow Melt
Finding a reason
To stay inside the house
Tell them you’re leaving
But still you don’t come out
And you’re so sure
This worlds absurd
You can’t even find the words
You can’t even find the words
And even when they say it hurts
You won’t back down
And even when they say it hurts
You won’t back down
Finding a reason
Is better when its hard
Changing the season
Without changing your heart
And you don’t stall
Yeah you won’t fall
Though everyone says let it drop
everyone says let it drop
And even when you know you’re wrong
You won’t back down
And even when you know you’re wrong
You won’t back down

Tell Me Which Ones Home
Chris he had this great idea
Write a record about your home
But I don't know
If home is where i lay my head
Or is it where i went to bed
When my mom took me shopping
At that Cheapo record store
Tell me which ones home
Josh he had this great idea
He’d buy electric drums
And play at night
Told me once you know its home
The same way that you know a poem
Has changed your way of seeing
Without changing your sight
Tell me that ain't right
Anand had this great idea
He’d write another song
And use third person
And everytime he thinks of home
Thinks brunch at Bryant Lake Bowl
And wonders how much debt it’d take to own
Tell him that he’s wrong
Tell him that he's wrong
Everytime I think of home
Remember that Ottumwa show
Where Josh and me were rocking
On some broken casio
Everytime I think of home
Think how Chris’ baby has grown
And wonder what parts of this world
That kid will never know
Tell me which ones home

The Good Lie
Behind the college housing
Lived a family of four
Their name on the mailbox
Was unpronounceable
But they thought that if they worked so very hard
They could overcome
Well theres a good lie in that lately
Are you sure its going to save me
Cuz the evidence it plainly
Says your wrong
Meanwhile, an angry young man
Was on the internet
He couldn’t keep a job and
He blamed an immigrant
He thought that if if he shot them with a gun
Then they all would run
Well theres a good lie in that lately
Are you sure its going to save me
Cuz the evidence it plainly
Says your wrong
When it feels good to be angry
Then theres no use understanding
All the evidence demanding
That you’re wrong
Yeah thats a good lie
Yeah thats a good lie
Yeah thats a good lie
And if you use it long enough
It can fill the space you used to call your heart
Thats the only rub
Well theres a good lie in that lately
Are you sure its going to save me
Cuz the evidence it plainly
Says your wrong
When it feels good to be angry
Then theres no use understanding
All the evidence demanding
That you’re wrong

Long Wave
Working the register
Manning the bar
Its a comedy star
Asking his audience
Have you heard this one before?
Yeah he’s got a podcast
And next week on the show
Hes too afraid to be alone
Hes fine
The man sitting next to me
Hes three drinks in
Says whiskey’s a sin
Tearing the napkins up from
The bottles from his past
Cuz they’ll be a next round
And if it doesnt last
Well hes too afraid to be alone
Hes fine
There goes my life again, goodnight
There goes my world again, goodnight
There goes my love again, goodnight
There goes my heart again, goodnight
There goes my world again, goodnight
There goes my life again, goodnight
Even though my timing it couldn’t be worse
And i just realized that I could burst
And even when the audience is asking if I have rehearsed
Goodnight
Have you heard this one before?
Yeah i’ve got a podcast
And just outside the door
You’ll be alone
You’ll be afraid
And thats fine
