1. AUDIENCE OF ONE

I can still remember
The words and what they meant
As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement
The days blurred into each other
Though everything seemed clear
We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears

We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
But even then we should have stayed
But we ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

Identities assume us
As nine and five add up
Synchronizing watches
To the seconds that we lost
I looked up and saw you
I know that you saw me
We froze but for a moment
In empathy

I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
You gave my emptiness a name
But you ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

We're all ok, until the day we're not
The surface shines, while the inside rots
We raced the sunset and we almost won
We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on

We ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?


2. TOUR SONG

Seven hundred miles to play to fifteen angry men.
I need some sleep.
They hate the songs.
We hate them too. Yeah.
This show is free.
Fifteen minutes in broke another fucking string.
Just call it luck.
They start to leave.
I start to plead.
Someone, someone yells you suck.

Suddenly that joe kicks on in my veins.
And I cool down.
Things sound good right now.
Suddenly fists turn into brave ears, and move as one.
Funny how no one knows we came.
They wouldn't come anyway.
Should I feel grateful to play.
I'm living life my way.
I fell in love with my enemies.
I let go of everything I had left at home.
I fell in love with my enemies.
I let go...

Two cool kids they came.
They're huddled by the door.
Eyes wide with fright.
A guy, a girl, in love with the whole world.
It almost makes it right.

Suddenly that joe kicks on in my veins.
And I cool down.
Things sound good right now.
Suddenly fists turn into brave ears, and move as one.
Funny how no one knows we came.
They wouldn't come anyway.
Should I feel grateful to play.
I'm living life my way.
I fell in love with my enemies.
I let go of everything I had left at home.
I fell in love with my enemies.
I let go of everything I had left at home.

Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing must go wrong.

Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing must go wrong.
