Hollowed Out

Never got the message
The never-made impression of a fate
That'd be perfect from now on
Never wanted trouble
Try to keep my hands up to my face
When you shoot off from the tongue
Get you now that you're all chewed up somehow
Get me now that I'm burned up and hollowed out
Always read the writing, never much for timing
Made a case, got dismissed for something new
Always ran the relay
Winner, maybe someday
Of a race that has nowhere left to go
Get me now that I'm all chewed up somehow
Get you now that you're burned up and hollowed out

Running After Me
02:44

You're just an angry man
You walk it off and then you're back again
Just as well
Nothing to sell
You come running after me (oh no, oh no)
You're setting out but you can’t see (oh no, oh no)
And now you take it back again (oh no, oh no)
So go rehearse your line
You walk it off, you're fine, you're colorblind
A career
No business here
I start looking out for you (oh no, oh no)
And all that you wish you could do (oh no, oh no)
Making me swallow my best words (oh no, oh no)
I start looking out for you (oh no, oh no)
And all that you wish you could do (oh no, oh no)
And now you take it back again (oh no, oh no)

Fake the Rest

I guess I really didn't want to say
Suppose I thought that you'd just give it to me anyway
You figure trust is not my specialty
When I can barely see a couple feet in front of me
In letting you go I hope to show
How little you think I know
Wondering what it is that I should do
'Cause you can keep me
But you can’t keep me away from you
Mistakes I make, I say they are the best
You say you love me
Then you go ahead and fake the rest
In letting you go I hope to show
How little you think I know

Walk It Back
02:41

To all the many ways you said you care
And all my time spent wishing you were there
And every second that we just let go
And all the differences we've come to know
Suppose I never thought you'd hide my tracks
Because I knew I might just walk it back
And all my signals say it's time to go
You always promised that you'd let me wait
But every minute was a new mistake
And now I'm waiting out time left to serve
I'll lose my looks and then I'll lose my nerve
Suppose I never thought to hide my tracks
Because I knew I might just walk it back
And all my signals say it's time to go

Across Your Shoulder
03:47

Misunderstand
Already began
There goes the plan
Coming around all four corners
Why so afraid to step inside?
Fire across your shoulder
Shot in the dark
Missing the mark
Barely a spark
Putting it out on the table
Never afraid to criticize
Offer it ten years later
Better off late than never done
Can't help hesitating
But I guess there’s reason left to run
Always been one to change your mind
Maybe you do so this time
Sanity breaks
Passion awakes
Multiple takes
Consider this dress rehearsal
You be me and I'll be you
Caught up in a role-reversal
Fair-weather friends
Those who pretend
That everything mends
You're all getting put on notice
What do you see from the outside?
Doesn't it leave you hopeless?
Better off late than never done
Can't help hesitating
But I guess there's reason left to run
Always been one to change your mind
Maybe you do so this time

Envy Smile

Assert yourself
Go swimming in someone else's business
You take a stab, you take your time
And I'm lonely, free of incident
I don't know about them
You hold my hand
Go crashing in someone else's bedroom
Your gray-green eyes, my envy smile is uneasy
I'm cracking up, I can't seem to say no
Now I'm trying to sleep but you're reading aloud
When I needed some help but you can't make a sound
So I stay up all night, don't know what I should do
So I stutter, you're flaming out
And we're still stuck in this room
New strategy
Try everything before I'm really ready for it
With shaky hands and heavy heart
You're scattered, I'm still listening
And I don't know how to say
Now I'm trying to sleep but you're reading aloud
When I needed some help but you can't make a sound
So I stay up all night, don't know what I should do
