These Words (Softly Spoken) 03:13
lyrics
buy track
Silence Eavesdropping Cupid Sprinkling his magic Breathlessly waiting Whispers Sweet somethings spoken Hushed tones and murmurs Quiet eloping Chorus:
 Secret shared between two persons Promise of love and devotion No one has to know what was said or was done Of these words, softly spoken Sunrise I see all the colors Shining in your eyes Oh, what a wonder I waited In my bed lonely Quietly praying And now you’ve found me Repeat Chorus

Second Thought 03:36
lyrics
buy track
I ran into you yesterday And you were wondering how I was doing Since we ended things Or so you claimed Boy, you almost were my undoing I told you I got engaged And it seems you’re still knee deep into partying Although so many things have changed I admit I still look back and Reminisce about how Things could all have all worked out If only we had said what we didn’t Chorus: Don’t say "yes" when you gotta go Don’t say "no" if you miss me Show your feelings, even if they’re fleeting Hold my hand out in public Take a stand for what you want If you care, better give your actions a second thought How many texts does it take? Just a single one to check in on me I learned that lesson Which is why I communicate frequently Seems you’re stilling looking for someone Which is why you ought to Reminisce about how Things could all have all worked out If only we had done what we didn’t Repeat Chorus Bridge: Give me a, give me a, give me, give me a second Give me a, give me a, give me, give me a second Give me a, give me a, give me, give me a second Give me a, give me a, give me, give me a second thought Repeat Chorus

Grandma [Live] 04:00
lyrics
buy track
Watching you across the room From behind a drawn curtain Hospital machines, "get well" balloons God, don’t let this be the end Lucky quilt draped around shoulders Time continues to suspend 90 years upon this planet Stay for another round again Chorus: Don’t go, Grandma Or at least can we pretend Imagine you’re better That we’ve got many years to spend That today won’t be the end Say today won't be the end This isn’t the celebration Nor the Christmas we had planned You know I’m not too religious But I’m on my knees with a prayer Screaming pleas to the air Rationalizing with Heaven Repeat Chorus

This Thing Called Love 03:13
lyrics
buy track
"How did it go?" When, when did I know? Questions keep coming my way They’re nagging me now to explain What can I do? Like, "when was it love?" Why, why would I trust? What is this, an interview? I can say from my point of view I just knew when I knew Chorus: Head feeling flushed with ecstasy Knees knock-knock-knocking uncontrollably A feeling that just took over me That’s how it was No, no I didn’t ask, ask for it But I most, most definitely can’t ignore it Could be sent from above This thing called love "How does it feel?" "Do you know it’s for real?" Bombarded like a ship at sea These people just, just can’t believe This person is me "So what do you think?" "Is your heart on the brink?" What is this, an interview? I can say from my point of view I just knew when I knew Repeat Chorus

Los Feliz Evenings 02:18
lyrics
buy track
Another evening Now it’s half past 10 I am waiting Not surprising, you’re late again People ask me What’s my favorite thing to do That’s so easy Spending time here with you Chorus: Los Feliz evenings Walking the neighborhood Just you and me, babe Nighttime’s never been so good Holding hands Talking toys Oh, what a gay ole time Los Feliz evenings Night hiking, you and I Well into our 30s And things are slowing down But aging with you Is well worth the few extra pounds When you consider How money hungry we were back then When all that matters Is the quality time we spend Repeat Chorus

Quarter After Five 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Bed sheets, hair tousled and intertwining legs Pleasant morning after a nighttime in bed Sunbeams through curtains shine spotlights on the truth I’ve got a secret: I could spend forever here with you Chorus: And I’m elated that I waited and I didn’t give up When I stuck it out ‘til I found someone worthy of my love So let’s give a two finger salute and stay here inside We might as well, considering it’s a quarter after five Get off of your phone, let’s turn on the TV Order us Chinese and play with our fortune cookies I never considered falling this hard before But ever since we met your heart has been knocking at my door Repeat Chorus

(You Know) Who You Are 03:11
lyrics
buy track
You’re solitary, so contrary Achieving highs through dispensary But stuck going in circles all the time A multi-talented mopey single Self-medicating, eating Pringles This baby bird needs to finally take flight Chorus: So why be scared of going solo? You’ve got to live your life, embrace your mojo It’s when you stop searching for one another That’s when you’ll happenstance to find each other But if you keep being lazy and treading water Bitching about all your friends, your mom and your stepfather If you never try to change, then what’s really the bother? You know who you are and you’re the problem causer Mirror, mirror on the wall Tell me, who’s the laziest one of all? The definition of "crazy" Means doing the same thing Over and over, over and over Wanna lover? Get to the bar Have no direction? Get in the car Wanna get out of the house? Then be a cat, not a mouse Don’t be a damn statistic Time to be realistic Get out there and strive Stop looking in the mirror and seeing failure Friends and lovers all start out being strangers You’re letting the best time of your life pass you by Repeat Chorus Outro: You’re solitary, so contrary Achieving highs through dispensary But stuck going in circles But stuck going in circles

C'est La Fin 02:27
lyrics

Who knew? Who would have thought? I wish I’d known those flowers you bought weren’t for me Those giggles, laughs of secrecy An utter mockery turned into ashes Dagger, you missed your mark Blue tears turned black my bleeding heart A swollen throat, a quiet whimper You took our love and dashed it Thrashed it Crashed it Smashed it
