Somehow I always seem to lose It’s more take than give with you Lost and found, words go round Standin’ up and backin’ down That’s all we do You don’t have to ask me to stay Cause I ain’t walkin’ I Just don’t feel like lovin’ you Today Doesn’t matter what you do Or say I’m gonna Give my heart a break I know just what it’s gonna take I just don’t feel like lovin’ you today Eh eh eh eh ehhhhhh You know what I need to do Call someone that isn’t you Getting high, drinkin wine Hangin’ out and wasting time With a girlfriend or two Baby there’s still love left to make I’ll be back I Just don’t feel like lovin’ you Today Doesn’t matter what you do Or say I’m gonna Give my heart a break I know just what it’s gonna take I just don’t feel like lovin’ you today Eh eh eh eh ehhhhhh Baby we’ve been here before You know I’ll be back for more I Just don’t feel like lovin’ you Today Doesn’t matter what you do Or say I’m gonna Give my heart a break I know just what it’s gonna take I just don’t feel like lovin’ you today Eh eh eh eh ehhhhhh I just don’t feel like lovin’ you todaya Eh eh eh eh ehhhhhh I just don’t feel like lovin’ you today

California 03:36

I hear that Oceanside is brilliant, this time of year Said, maybe you and I should go there, we could disappear We had so many plans But you crushed them in your hands A real man would have broke the news himself They tell me you’re somewhere in California Watching all the pretty girls go by How dare you be somewhere in California Could you not have found a better place to waste your time… Cause California was mine Said I’d never make it to the coast So far that’s true I think the thing that bothers me the most Is you think it belongs to you You went along with every word I said Messin’ with my heart and head You stole my dreams and kept them all for yourself They tell me you’re somewhere in California Watching all the pretty girls go by How dare you be somewhere in California Could you not have found a better place to waste your time… Cause California was mine Oh it’s time to take back, what’s mine What’s mine They tell me you’re somewhere in California Watching all the pretty girls go by How dare you be somewhere in California Could you not have found a better place to waste your time… Cause California was mine California was mine I hear that Oceanside is brilliant… This time of year

Ashes fall on my, kitchen floor I just don’t care anymore Blowin' smoke I’ll take, one last drag Then crush this thing out nice and slow I’m gonna put you out I’m gonna put you out I’m gonna put you out…. Like a cigarette You taste like lies, and you smell like her You know she’ll never love you like I could Don’t come back Mmm don’t call These ashes are the last thing you’ll see fall I’m gonna put you out I’m gonna put you out I’m gonna put you out… Like a cigarette You’re so mean don’t think I need your nicotine… Kind of love Ooh oooh ooooh I’m gonna put you out I’m gonna put you out I’m gonna put you out I’m gonna put you out I’m gonna put you out I’m gonna put you out… Like a cigarette

Red Flags Green 03:42

You said you’d pay me back when your cheque came in I’d get the cash you’ve owed me since our first date when your AMEX got declined you told me right from the start that you would not compromise your art by working for the man in some lowly 9-5 For years I cleaned the house paid all the bills and walked the dog, instead of seein your true colours all along.. I was Painting those red flags green lookin’ back now it’s hard to believe That I was Paintin’ those red flags green If I do say so myself it was The best paint job I’d ever seen… painting those red flags green So many times, so many ways, you turned me into a damn cliché, that girl who would believe you when you said “she’s just a friend” You could roll in 2 days late, hungover, lipstick on your face. Between the flowers and the sweet-talk it was easy to pretend. (raise voice and sing into chorus) I was Painting those red flags green lookin’ back now it’s hard to believe That I was Paintin’ those red flags green And no matter how fast you waved em’ I still drove like steve macqueen… Oh I was painting those red flags green Now it’s all so black and white Oh I finally see the light I was Painting those red flags green lookin’ back now it’s hard to believe That I was Paintin’ those red flags green If I do say so myself it was The best paint job I’d ever seen… painting those red flags green Oooooh, my daddy never liked you anyway… Oooooooooh, shoulda listened to my mama when she told me you were bad news

The Hurtin' and the Heart 03:10
lyrics

Some days we turn diamonds into coal We come in hot and angry hurling words over our shoulders All our grace is gone but there's still hope Even when the overwhelm - the undertow - Just don’t wanna let us go baby you and I we know the truth It’s not about the words that leave the safety of our lips, That can sting and burn and hurt way worse Than all the stones and sticks It’s the knowing you’re not going - even when our times get hard, It’s what happens in the space between The hurtin' and the heart We walk away but never out the door The promises we made that day are only getting stronger Nobody wins when we start keeping score Even/Just when I think I’ve crossed a line Forgiveness gets there just in time Well we both know How much there is to lose It’s not about the words that leave the safety of our lips, That can sting and burn and hurt way worse Than all the stones and sticks It’s the knowing you’re not going - even when our times get hard, It’s what happens in the space between The hurtin' and the heart Some nights we lose some sleep Sometimes it gets the best of me Some how we get what we need It’s not about the words that leave the safety of our lips, That can sting and burn and hurt way worse Than all the stones and sticks It’s the knowing you’re not going - even when our times get hard, It’s what happens in the space between The hurtin' and the heart The hurtin' and the heart
