Lyrics

Didn't you Know
I recall you were drunk and confused, saying things that were just so unlike you, stumbling home on an unlit dirt road, we were holding hands, laughing while we dance. Whenever you're looking at me that way, I bend and I break, don't know what to say. I feel when you're here I feel when you go, didn't you know? Didn't you know I knew the wine would inspire you to draw, so I posed in the shadows till dawn, hoping you'd see a reason in me, to fall down on your knees something hard to believe Chorus: Didn't you know, When you have words on the tip of your tongue, your lip starts to twitch and I wish that I was the air in your lungs. The one thing I never said, I wish you'd said instead Chorus:

Turn the Lights Down
Turn the lights down, You're breaking my heart, I'd rather you scattered my ash in the dark, I'll die here alone, The curtains are drawn, I'm holding my breath, It feels like the ceiling collapsed on my chest, We died here alone, Now it's too late to Turn out backs and dig up the grave, I wanted more but you ignored things left in our way, Turn the Lights down, Or just close your eyes, Pull down the blankets, The coldest survive, Or die here alone, Turn the lights down when, You're breaking my heart, I'd rather you shattered me in the dark, Oh in the dark, Now it's too late to turn our backs and dig up the grave, I wanted more but you ignored things left in our way, With everything that's happening, I never took the time to grieve, I know, I'm letting this go, Turn the lights down, Turn the lights down, Turn the lights down.

Torn
All Night I have been mourning the loss of my mind. I am tired, crazy and crying, baby I need a little time to let me heal, keep me warm cause I don't feel beautiful I am weak and I am torn my mind has been racing, tracing the steps that I left behind, I know you were trying to save me, baby believe Išll be fine if you let me heal, keep me warm cause I don't feel beautiful, I am weak and I am Torn Let me heal, keep me warm then I might feel beautiful, I am weak and I am Torn. All night I have been mourning.

3000 Miles
I drank my coffee black and you took yours with cream, your fingers were so beautiful, tangled up in steam. We used to drive all night, and we'd drive until the sky turned blue, now you're probably fast asleep as I'm thinking of you because I'm 3000 miles away, 3 hours ahead in the day, 3000 miles away and I miss all the long long drives, I miss all the miles, 3000 miles. Talking on the telephone, you sound different to me, I guess the distance made us grow so I'll miss you quietly. We talked for hours that night about our lives in LA and DC, and I almost started to cry cause I could still feel you breathe but you're Chorus: We talked for hours that night fighting tears in a smoky café and I would have missed my flight but you didnšt ask me to stay and now I'm Chorus:

Bible Belt
Eliot sat on his Grandma's steps in a heap of smoke from her cigarette. She sipped on gin and sucked on limes doing crosswords from the New York Times. Grandpa said that he liked the heat, it's why he moved to Tennessee, a belt of bourbon on his breath and a golden cross around his neck, it's hot as hell in the Bible Belt. Jesus wants to save your soul so drink and smoke and rock and roll, Jesus dies for all your sins as long as you belong to him. Hell in the Bible Belt. Grandma said that Jesus saves if you go to church on the Sabbath day, so Elliot stole a cigarette and promised god that hešd repent. It's hot as hell in the Bible Belt. Chorus: Eliot sat on his grandma's steps in a heap of smoke from her cigarette cause it's hot as hell in the Bible Belt. Chorus:

Angelina
I've had a little too much, the burn in my nose is finally numb. Through the crack in my window, the moon was spilling on everything Angelina tie me down and take my offerings Now I'm a little unclear, unraveled my mind, the word disappeared. So, if all the angels are coming, will Jesus, sing me a lullaby Angelina tie me down and please don't let me die, Angelina Angelina please don't let me die I'm scared if I go to sleep they'll come for me Angelee, Angelee. Now, I'm a little unsure, gravity pulls my heart through the floor. So I guess the angels are coming, they'll turn, they're turning my arms to wings Angelina time me down and take my offering, Angelina Angelina take my offerings.
