Werewolf's Curse

Sometimes life goes so fast, it's just so hard to tell
Blink of an eye and you turn into something else
The phases of the moon change me
I feel myself rearranging
It's a clumsy, tangled verse
Ancient secret, werewolf's curse
Buried deep as you can dig the grave
Too far gone for anyone to save
I go round, round, round in the same old circles
And I jump but I can't clear the hurdles
And the girl in the mirror can't be me
The face seems so familiar but the smile looks so cheap
And my hands are red and shaking
From hanging onto who I thought I'd be
Sometimes life grabs you up and you don't know where you've been
Just a story with a plot twist at the end
The phases of the moon change me
I feel myself rearranging
It's a clumsy, tangled verse
Ancient secret, werewolf's curse
Buried deep as you can dig the grave
Too far gone for anyone to save
I go round, round, round in the same old circles
And I jump but I can't clear the hurdles
And the girl in the mirror can't be me
The face seems so familiar but the smile looks so cheap
And my hands are red and shaking
From hanging onto who I thought I'd be
It's a slow and painful verse
No one wants the werewolf's curse
Keep it buried deep as you can dig the grave
But there's no one left for anyone to save

One of Those

Orange and gold October leaves take me back to you and me
When I was nothing but a name on a phone
You'd laugh if you could hear me talking about my fortune dreams
But I dreamed I held your hand and I didn't let go
Oh oh
Well I don't know what the next life holds
When we're withered down to dust and bones
There are things you can't take with you when you go
But I hope that this ain't one of those
Marched into the mountain mist and it smelled like rain the night we kissed
We were playing down the moments just for show
To young to care, too old to quit, dancing on the Nashville bridge
We were talking about forever like we'd know
Oh oh
Well I don't know what the next life holds
When we're withered down to dust and bones
There are things you can't take with you when you go
But I hope that this ain't one of those
And when there's nothing left in this old town
And the whole wild world has been torn down
And we're sleeping hard inside the ground
Well I hope that I'll be sleeping next to you
Well I don't know what the next life holds
When we're withered down to dust and bones
There are things you can't take with you when you go
But I hope that this ain't one of those

Over When It's Over

We never saw this coming, too busy making plans
But life is such a gamble when you've been dealt a losing hand
So I brace for the impact and I wait for the explosion
Fire burns, the whole world turns
But I'm lost in the commotion, slow motion
Hope is there and then it's gone
And nothing stings like being wrong
But people like us, they can't start over
Time you know it moves so fast
And nothing can erase the past
And people like us, they can't start over
It's just over when it's over
You love like it's a habit, like it's something you don't mean
The words sound so familiar but it's hard to read the lines in between
And I'm nothing but a ghost now, just a whisper of what was
And your empty eyes look through me
My god, we've lost so much
Hope is there and then it's gone
And nothing stings like being wrong
But people like us, they can't start over
Time you know it moves so fast
And nothing can erase the past
And people like us, they can't start over
It's just over when it's over

This is the song that the radio played
When you held me so tight and you asked me to stay
And I said "I can't fall in love today"
And you said "What've you got to lose"
This is the rush of beginning to care
And the sweet smell of Spring hanging low in the air
And the clothes that we left in a trail on the stairs
And I thought "What've I got to lose"
This is the whir of it crashing around me
This is the rattle of the empty gas tank
This is the flick of the flames that surround me
This is the sound that things make when they break
This is the warm Summer breeze on the night
That you promised me under those parking deck lights
You'd be here to turn all those things back upright
And I had nothing left to lose
This is the chill of a hard, sudden rain
That drowned out the sparks when those fireworks came
And the way that I felt when you whispered my name
And asked me what have I got to lose
And this is the whir of it crashing around me
This is the rattle of the empty gas tank
This is the flick of the flames that surround me
This is the sound that things make when they break
This is the splash of a ring in the gutter
And this is the sign that it won't be okay
It's a year's worth of lies that you never once stuttered
They just rolled off your tongue like you were saying my name
And this is the sound that things make
This is the sound that things make
This is the sound that things make when they break
Oh, this is the sound that things make when they break
And this is the sound that things make when they break
This is the sound that things make when they break
