Same Old Flame
03:44

Make your lips move so they move my heart
Like you’re telling me in the dark
Been so long yet I can still feel all
That you promised me from the start
Shadows from the candles down the hall
You’re the same old flame, same old flame
You’re the same old flame
Pictures from a trip we took abroad
All the history we were taught
St. Mark’s Square, Rome, and the Berlin Wall
And the artists of Montparnasse
Governments and empires all will fall
You’re the same old flame, same old flame
You’re the same old flame
Maybe you aren’t what I first had thought
But I’m glad that I took a shot
Learning love together wasn’t hard
You’re the same old flame, same old flame
You’re the same old flame

Pedestrian

The way it looks like
Things are getting swimmy
But may it go right
Used to be a gimme
A bay window
Seven stories high
A ways to go
Before the next climb
Say it to yourself, you’re living
Say it to yourself, you’ll get around
Tonight a prayer was said
one of the many
When you’re lying in bed
the world keeps spinning
Get your legs under you
your dancing hips
Celebrate over to
the pedestrian bridge
Dancing for yourself again you’re
dancing for yourself and all your friends
Like sunlight
Creeping in, under your skin, lift up your chin, oh
Like taking flight
from where you’ve been, time to begin, so start your engine again
Like sunlight
Creeping in, under your skin, lift up your chin, oh
Like taking flight
from where you’ve been, time to begin, so start your engine again
time to begin, so start your engine again

I Won't Mind
04:03
|
|||
|
Close your eyes and say goodnight
I’ll be there in the morning light
Take a load off of your mind
Dream good dreams so you’ll sleep tight
I know you have your doubts and fears
I know they often bring you tears
I’ll be there through all the years
I can make them disappear
When the world has got you running for your life
When you need someone to back you in a fight
Wake me up in the middle of the night
It’s all right; I won’t mind
When you’re losing and you’re running out of time
And when it doesn’t get much better when you try
Wake me up in the middle of the night
It’s all right; I won’t mind
No one ever thinks twice about us
All in all that doesn’t mean much
We’re the only ones we can trust
We will make them eat our dust
So when you wake make sure you go
Take the world into your control
Take a risk so you can grow
Make mistakes, go for broke
When the world has got you running for your life
When you need someone to back you in a fight
Wake me up in the middle of the night
It’s all right; I won’t mind
When you’re losing and you’re running out of time
And when it doesn’t get much better when you try
Wake me up in the middle of the night
It’s all right; I won’t mind
I want to
I want to be good to you
be good to you
I want to
I want to be good to you
be everything to you
When the world has got you running for your life
When you need someone to back you in a fight
Wake me up in the middle of the night
It’s all right; I won’t mind
When you’re losing and you’re running out of time
And when it doesn’t get much better when you try
Wake me up in the middle of the night
It’s all right; I won’t mind

Ghosts
03:17

I kinda messed around
I kinda messed around
Don’t think I don’t think about that when I’m in my cups
I know that I often lacked tact when I wanted love
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
I didn’t mean to make it as bad as it was
Now someday my sins will come back for my blood
‘Cause you weren’t at fault
and I took it all
So send out the ghosts to my house
Send out the ghosts to my house
I will be still, I will be still
I will be still, I will be still so the ghosts can do their worst
I should’ve just left town
I should’ve just left town
But I took your hand and dragged you through all I’d done
And when I took your heart it wasn’t enough
So send out the ghosts to my house
Send out the ghosts to my house
I will be still, I will be still
I will be still, I will be still so the ghosts can do their worst
So send out the ghosts to my house
Send out the ghosts to my house
I will be still, I will be still
I will be still, I will be still so the ghosts can do their worst

No Starlight
03:31
|

It came as a surprise, you could see it in our eyes
We had seen all the sights, we had ridden all the rides
But we ran out of light like a star in the night
And it came as a surprise, you could see it in our eyes
What I asked from our time wasn’t any more than life
And what I gave of my life you returned to me in kind
But we ran out of light like a star in the night
And it came as a surprise, you could see it in our eyes
What are we to make of this love, this love
What are we to make of this love, this love
What are we to make of this love, this love
What are we to make of this love, this love
We didn’t realize hearts move differently sometimes
There’s nothing there to hide, we don’t have to apologize
We just ran out of light like a star in the night
(see the starlight twinkling out)
And it came as a surprise, you could see it in our eyes
(see the starlight twinkling out)
Without warning, without warning
(see the starlight twinkling out)
Without warning, without warning
(see the starlight twinkling out)
Without warning, without warning
(see the starlight twinkling out)
Without warning, without warning

Faceless in the night
The space was far too wide
But I swear I saw that look in your eye
I swear I saw that look in your eye
The distance in between
The farthest that we’d seen
I read that letter that you left in the door
But I didn’t want to go back to before
I was alone, I took a drive
I could have driven all night
To get back to you
I sped into town, and I looked all around
I wouldn’t be stopped this night
From getting to you
Under moons and satellites
Under lamp and neon lights
The buzzing of debauchery in the bars
The rushing of the easterlies and the cars
I was alone, I took a drive
I could have driven all night
To get back to you
I sped through the town, and I looked all around
I wouldn’t be stopped this night
From getting to you
I was alone all of my life
I could have lived that way all right
Until there was you
I could have driven all night
I could have driven all night
I could have driven all night
I could have driven all night

Notched
04:15

|
She said to me, “Why go slow?”
And I said, “It hurts when I let go.”
So she took that bull by the horns
She took that bull by the horns
“Wait a minute! Wait a minute, I said!
What are your thoughts on love?”
And she told me, and she sold me
But she was a liar and I believed her
Because she said, “I’ve been in love”
But she meant, “I’m done with love”
And now the summer sighs with poor boys’ broken hearts
When she said, “I’ve been in love”
Well she meant, “I’m done with love”
She’s a femme fatale with a knack for spitting out spare parts
She’s in my dreams and when I wake
I block her out for my own sake
I’m just the latest notch on her gun
I’m just the latest notch on her gun
Because she said, “I’ve been in love”
But she meant, “I’m done with love”
And now the summer sighs with poor boys’ broken hearts
When she said, “I’ve been in love”
Well she meant, “I’m done with love”
She’s a femme fatale with a knack for spitting out spare parts
Because she said, “I’ve been in love”
But she meant, “I’m done with love”
And now the summer sighs with poor boys’ broken hearts
When she said, “I’ve been in love”
Well she meant, “I’m done with love”
She’s a femme fatale with a knack for spitting out spare parts

Lights Down Low
03:39

Let ‘em turn the lights down low
Let ‘em turn the lights down low
When they turn the lights down low it always makes things right
Let ‘em turn the lights down low
Let ‘em turn the lights down low
When they turn the lights down low it always makes things right
I don’t wanna wake up and face what we’re facing
I like to live in the night ‘cause there’s too many flaws in the light
We’re best when we get out, take on the city
When it’s just me and you and the ignorant moon we’re all right
So let ‘em turn the lights down low
Let ‘em turn the lights down low
When they turn the lights down low it always makes things right
Let ‘em turn the lights down low
Let ‘em turn the lights down low
When they turn the lights down low it always makes things right
Hoppin’ from club to club, and never stoppin’
We might get too tight by the end of the night but so what
At least we got away, away from the thinking
Let’s sleep through the day and go out when we can right away
And let ‘em turn the lights down low
Let ‘em turn the lights down low
When they turn the lights down low it always makes things right
Let ‘em turn the lights down low
Let ‘em turn the lights down low
When they turn the lights down low it always makes things right
Let ‘em turn the lights down low
Let ‘em turn the lights down low
When they turn the lights down low it always makes things right
Let ‘em turn the lights down low
Let ‘em turn the lights down low
When they turn the lights down low it always makes things right

Thin Bodies
05:04
|
|||
|
After sunset on the city square we met up in an alley there
Climbing the roofs of the stores and apartments, finding our place out of view in the darkness
Hands that slide and hands that hold, we had never been so bold
With our bodies, with our bodies until now
But while we were in our fever, where was time?
What will become of our young thin bodies in the night?
Pale skin has a luminous glow, and it yields where timid fingers go
The passion, the suddenness of everything all at once
But while we were in our fever, where was time?
What will become of our young thin bodies in the night?
Lying chest to chest, feeling more than flesh
Hearts that never rest, lips that kiss the death of me
Lying chest to chest, feeling more than flesh
Hearts that never rest, lips that kiss
But what will become . . .
What will become . . .
Maybe we can last together among the things that last forever
Our whole life, our whole lives are ahead of us
But while we were in our fever, where was time?
What will become of our young thin bodies?
What will become of our young thin bodies?
What will become of our young thin bodies in the night?

Something Dangerous

If
If I went back in time
If I went back in time, I would
If I went back in time, I would do something dangerous
If I went back in time
If I went back in time, I would be tempted
If I went back in time, it would be tempting to do something
Something dangerous with you
Looking back, I should have known, you were just as alone
Looking back, I should have known, you were just as alone
Looking back, I should have known, you were just as alone
Looking back, I should have known, you were just as alone
As me
Just as alone as me
If we kissed that kiss, would it have been like this
Feeling purposeless, feeling meaningless
Do something dangerous, do something dangerous
Do something dangerous, do something dangerous
I'd do something dangerous, I'd do something dangerous
I'd do something dangerous

I've Done that Before
04:53
|

|
It storms outside
and the rain reminds
of all the tears you cried
so you close the blinds
I’ve done that before
You're all alone
But you won’t call home
They don’t need to know
So you drop the phone
I’ve done that before
They say it all takes, they say it all takes time
They say it all day, they say it all day long
They say it all takes time
Count on that
You can grow up now
You can grow up now
Even if you don’t know how
You can grow up now, baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
