the wind is crisp 
at the end of may 
it's too dangerous 
so why can't you stay 
we'll look for ghosts 
beneath the stairs 
so when you leave 
i won't feel as scared 

there's a light on in the kitchen 
no matter how late you go out 
there's a light on in the kitchen 
i'd ask for you to stay the night 
there's a light on 
here 
there's a light on 
here 

i've drawn away the curtains 
so you can look inside 
see into my living room 
look into my life 
and in these darkened hours 
when everyone's asleep 
there's a light on in the kitchen 
if you remember where i left the key 

there's a light on 
here 
there's a light on 
here 


there's a light on in the kitchen 
no matter how late you go out 
there's a light on in the kitchen 
i'd ask for you to stay the night 
there's a light on 
here 
there's a light on 
here

tea blacker than my coffee 
darker than your eyes 
time is infinite 
with your skin against mine 

it is cold outside 
but i'm right here in your arms dear tonight 
we could stay here if you'd like 
i will lie against your shoulder 
watch the evening growing colder 

we look for star formations 
but all we see are satellites 
i love you now and not forever 
beneath an army of streetlights 

it is cold outside 
but i'm right here in your arms dear tonight 
we could stay here if you'd like 
i will lie against your shoulder 
watch the evening growing colder

winter sigh 
shop with a broken sign 
kiss the crook of my arm 
oh darling let's get you warm 
and everything was light 
locked behind those eyes 
and dance a waltz for cold hands 
sing to me concrete romance 

lansdowne lansdowne 
i'm gonna lay my head 
on this broken ground 

let's keep driving west of town 
i can't stand to keep that frown 
locked in a box 
in my basement apartment 
we'll shake hands and part our ways 
i know you can't but i wish you'd stayed with me 
invite me in for peppermint tea 

lansdowne lansdowne 
i'm gonna lay my head 
on this broken ground 

shopkeeper closed up late 
the brokenhearted make their way 
back home 
back home 

lansdowne lansdowne 
i'm gonna lay my head 
on this broken ground

lyrics: 
oh my broken bird
mend your wings
fly back home up north
and call out to spring
oh my broken song
is singing
from my stubborn lungs

are these paper wings
or are they painted gold
i will burn you up dear
if you fly too close
are these paper wings
or are they painted gold
i will burn you up dear
if you fly too close to me

oh my wretched night
your shadow grows thin
let your stars take flight
and carve away your sins
oh my angry mouth
spits truth upon the ground
let your sun rise now

are these paper wings
or are they painted gold
i will burn you up dear
if you fly too closeare these paper wings
or are they painted gold
i will burn you up dear
if you fly too close to me

These Paper Wings

i am shipwrecked 
though i lit a match 
in the middle of the storm last night 
i thought i could keep us both warm 
but i had been warned 

in isolation it felt nice 
but we were 
two cold bodies passing in the night 
and i would call your name a thousand times 
just to have your eyes on me 

and we are divided 
and i'll conquer you all 
i have decided 
that you were the villain afterall 
the villain afterall 

i don't want to 
but i do 
i'm outside myself 
staring down at you 
i am scared but i am trying 
darling i am lying 
i am lying next to you 
when your power goes out 
when your power goes out 

and we are divided 
and i'll conquer you all 
i have decided 
that you were the villain afterall 

and we are divided 
and i'll conquer you all 
i have decided 
that you were the villain afterall 
the villain afterall

and this is not the time for us
no this is not the time

hold on darling
don't you cry
a liquored up sunset
spills across our night sky

for you are a ghost
and i'm just a little bit broke
and you've got a curfew to keep tonight

and this is not the time for us
no this is not the time

my tissue paper heart
stains your hands
here's looking at you
and hoping you glance back 

'cuz if you were with me darling
i'd write you a song
already this night is growing too long

and this is not the time for us
no this is not the time
though you and i 
could be so right
oh this is not the time
no this is not the time

the best love you ever had 
was a love you never had at all 
the worst part is looking back 
leave well enough alone 

i'm fine i swear to god that i don't need you 
but my heart it keeps on sinking like a stone 
you're acting like a stranger when i see you 
and you haunt me, haunt me, haunt me, 
when you're gone 
when you're gone 

i'm sober, but not enough 
drew a map to lead you home 
call you but never talk 
leave well enough alone 

i'm fine i swear to god that i don't need you 
but my heart it keeps on sinking like a stone 
you're acting like a stranger when i see you 
and you haunt me, haunt me, haunt me, 
haunt me, haunt me, haunt me, 
and you haunt me, haunt me, haunt me, 
when you're gone 
when you're gone 
when you're gone 
when you're gone 

i'm fine i swear to god that i don't need you 
but my heart it keeps on sinking like a stone 
you're acting like a stranger when i see you 
and you haunt me, haunt me, haunt me, 
and you haunt me, haunt me, haunt me, 
and you haunt me, haunt me, haunt me.

sing me your song 
and call it home 
sing me your song 
if that's all you know 

if i were the sea 
and you were above me on the wire 
i'd say darling i'm next 
but i'm not taking bets 
i've been shipwrecked for some time 

i've been catching honeybees 
in a tunnel of trees 
while you soak your body in wine 
you delight in misery 
but i take no joy 
in watching it eat you alive 

so sing me your song 
and call it home 
sing me your pain 
and watch it grow 
sing me your fear 
and let it show 
sing me your song 
if that's all you know 
'cuz that's all you know 

if i were the water 
i'd pool your reflection in my eye 
i would take all your sorrow 
and sink it to the bottom of the ocean 
so deep and wide 
it's been three long years since we last spoke 
and i cast the first stone 
didn't lose no sleep tonight 

so sing me your song 
and call it home 
sing me your pain 
and watch it grow 
sing me your fear 
and let it show 
sing me your song 
if that's all you know 
'cuz that's all you know 
'cuz that's all you know 
'cuz that's all you know 
'cuz that's all you know

it was your smile 
and your eyes all aglow 
that first caught my eye 
a long long time ago 

if i found you in another life 
i'd ask you again and again 
to be my wife 

'cuz i found a home 
with you 
i found a home 
with you 
and i will grow old 
with you 
i found a home 

hop in the dodge 
with the eight track tape deck 
playing our favourite song 
gather our children 
blessed are we 
and we will drive 
for summers at a time 
winter's breath at our neck 
we are free 

i found a home 
with you 
i found a home 
with you 
and i will grow old 
with you 
i found a home 

i found a home, a home, a home 
i found a home with you 
and i will grow old 
with you 
i found a home, a home, a home 

i found a home

i found a home

and i will grow old

my hands are filled with subway transfers 
they lead me backwards 
to your arms 
and my head is filled with paper dolls 
but i'd crush them all 
to be your only words 

so just 
say the words, say the words 
i'm getting older and i know it hurts 
so just 
say the words, say the words 
i'm insecure so just say it first 

the crowd is filled with awkward glances 
and second chances we'll never have 
the record is playing the creaking floor 
we dance to songs we never heard before 

so just 
say the words, say the words 
i'm getting older and i know it hurts 
so just 
say the words, say the words 
i'm insecure so just say it first 

say the words, say the words 
say the words, say the words 

so just 
say the words, say the words 
i'm getting older and i know it hurts 
so just 
say the words, say the words 
i'm insecure so just say it first

Say The Words

Wanna leave, wanna leave 

I can't be alone with you
This time we have more to lose
I can't be alone with you
I can't

Baby i was onto you
Had me figured out before i knew
Baby i don't want you
Baby i don't want you
Maybe i was lonelier with you 

Baby i was onto you
Had me figured out before i knew
Baby i don't want you
Baby i don't want you
Maybe i was lonelier with you 

Wanna leave, wanna leave

I can't be alone with you
I'd drag you down if i could move
I could say the things that i want to 
I won't, i won't, i won't, i won't

Baby i was onto you
Had me figured out before i knew
Baby i don't want you
Baby i don't want you
Maybe i was lonelier with you 

Baby i was onto you
Had me figured out before i knew
Baby i don't want you
Baby i don't want you
Maybe i was lonelier with you 

I can't be alone with you 
Swallowed pride and ego bruised 
Of all the things we can't undo 
I can't 

Wanna leave, wanna leave
I can't be alone

I Can't Be Alone With You

Tomorrow Never Comes

I park across the street from
The place we grew up in
Where new people live
I look in the window
To see if it's changed some
I'm sorry I did

And this town will chase you
Like you're a traitor
You keep on running
But you keep coming back

And all of the bodies are buried inside of my head
All my old friends are working just for the rent
And the bars we blacked out in
Are closing down sooner or later
This town won't miss you

Out in the church yard
Where you and I first parked
Well we were just kids
The light from the radio
You promised you'd go slow
And I'm sorry you did

And this town will chase you
Like you're a traitor
You keep on running
but you keep coming back

And all of the bodies are buried inside of my head
All my old friends are working just for the rent
And the bars we blacked out in
Are closing down sooner or later
