Reminder 03:32
Well, I can't chase what always runs away, 'til I drop these extra weights. And if I could escape, I'm so afraid that every day I'd have to read your notes to remind me where I'm from; to remind me I'm not gone. I'll never take for granted all the royal people in my life. They're not an easy thing to find. But a year or more from now, will our old life stand the test of time? Will you just pass me by, or will you remind me where I'm from? Remind me I'm not gone. So when we separate, do we fall apart, do we break? Or is there something there that stays to remind us how we've grown? To remind us we're not alone.

I woke up sweating in a place I've known forever, anchored down when I should be higher than smoke. 'Cause I got old with the notion that there's some good left in your song. But as I listen to this room, I don't know if we've got the strength to face this. So if you're still around, 100 years from now, I wanna know: where was I supposed to look? And if you're still around, you can tell me what we're waiting for. 'Cause it's more than dying, I'm sure. I felt the rain against my back, like it's the only thing I have. So if you're dead again, is this really what it's all for? This isn't home; it's hatred, and it's graying me a little every day. But I inhale either way. So when I needed answers to my doubts, I looked to Peter, but found the pages stuck together. And every Sunday after makes me ask: "Why do I still go, while my soul still starves alone?"

Not Here 03:15
I've told myself too much: I'm never far along before it's time for giving up. But I can face my fears for now; I've learned enough from losing in my time to be at peace with where I am, not where I'm going. It's safe to say I wouldn't be prepared. I'll find my way. And if I have to, I'll curl up and fall asleep. It's my right to be exhausted, whether or not I'm on my feet. There's only so many different places I can be, but I only ever wanted one. "Not here" was the answer that I got from all the people that I needed when I wasn't close enough. They grew roots, but they're leaving all the time. It's all they ever talk about, but there's no excuse to run. And I've got sweat and fatigue etched in the rings around my knees. But getting older doesn't mean I'm done.

Distance 03:36
Would it kill you to wait just a minute? 'Cause I'm afraid if I've been right at all with any decisions that I've made. I've got nothing I could give you, but I'll be as honest as I can: I'm not making any promises and I'll leave it in your hands tonight. Bet you think you're pretty clever now, but don't get the idea that this was all your planning. For safety's sake, I'd better get accustomed to this distance; rinse, repeat and start the cycle over. Would it kill me to live just a minute, just this once, after every reaction that I've given and you've caught? 'Cause I've got no way I could save you (in fact, I'd really rather not), so I'm not making any promises and I'll leave it in your hands tonight.

Tie You Down 04:20
Oh say, barely awake, we filled a great big slate, settling old scores in a space just big enough for one of us. What would you have me do, shouldering all your troubles while you buried your head in every last thing that we had? So why would I want to tie you down, when you left everything I loved behind? When you go, I'll make a whole new meaning for home. Wrestling all my fears for the future, and trying to hold all my bitterness back and ask... Oh, there's too much between the two of us I don't want to recall anymore. I don't have enough strength for you and me both; I just don't want to be here alone.
