Verses
I was embarrassed when I knew who I was;
so wild and zealous, and overly down for the cause
I'm sliding under, diving back into clouds
We went running, you were leading me on
You lost your hope and I knew, it wouldn’t last as long
I think about it, I'll think about it in time
Pre-choruses
I know that you say I’m just another one
I won’t pretend you’re the best
I see what you want me to see
(Whatever we’re going to be)
And now I fall through your ceiling like you’re the only one, always the hardest to test
Chorus
So why’d you want to make me lonely after?
Wouldn’t try to break what’s holding you back
We were on the hook to save you sinking, back when you liked that
Don’t you want to save your breath for nightime?
Show me why it’s hard to come around
I know that you’ve been full with anguish lately, yeah, we were let down
Verse II
I called your brother, he said we’re serving him soup
Broke down my door to reclaim a small part of his youth
Yeah you can hate me if it helps you get back
Another moment of impossible doubt
You wanted quiet but everything was just so loud
My memory’s fading, memory fading to red
Prechorus II
I can’t play the game but i’m living like i won, taking it all on the chest
tell me i’m not on my knees
i’m dead in the water beneath
and you’re a sight to be seen and i’m falling undone
it’s getting harder to sleep
Chorus
So why’d you want to make me lonely after?
Wouldn’t try to break what’s holding you back
We were on the hook to save you sinking, back when you liked that
Don’t you want to save your breath for nightime?
Show me why it’s hard to come around
I know that you’ve been full with anguish lately, yeah, we were let down
Outro
Think i’ve done well, I waited on my soul
A weekend on pacific time, best i’ve ever known
Let’s take it on, i’ll take it on for you

Right Track / Wrong Man

Verse I
A little distance on my day off
I never claimed that I was different
And you were talking about yourself but
I could’ve sworn it was a mantra
Prechorus I
Try to keep my mouth shut, throw me right up
Everytime that you shove, I just get stuck
Telling me to get tough, testing my faith
But I couldn’t complicate it
Chorus I
i'm telling you you've earned it
When we were feeling so set
I need another day to
Abandon all the trust and take away the love I gave you
Verse II
Cut me up and keep me open
Oh it won’t hurt me in the morning
I’ll leave the lightness for the long days
For when i really have my head straight
Prechorus II
You were on the right track with the wrong man
You know you’re a good girl, g-g-gone bad
You could tell me bad things, no i don’t mind
And i could forget about it
Chorus II
I'm telling you you've earned it
When we were feeling so set
I need another day to
Abandon all the trust and take away the love I gave you
And we were bleeding sunset
But i would never go back
To when i used to play you
I never was enough, but you say i'm the one to change you

Verse
Searching for a sign or a reason to leave, or a reason to cry
I could never believe you could take me there or lead me home
Standing in the back by the rest of my friends
By the time that you’d left, it was time to extend
Please don’t leave me here or let me go
Chorus
Oh and I am imperfectly yours
Can we get by
Without your love?
You give me trust
You give me lust
Can we get by
Without your love?
Verse II
Written in your past was a story untold
When I wasn’t so smart I was letting off smoke like a cigarette or dying flame
Turning in my head and I wonder if I could be dancing the steps,
is it true that we try but we all pretend we’re not to blame?
Chorus
Oh and I am imperfectly yours
Can we get by
Without your love?
You give me trust
You give me lust
Can we get by
Without your love?

Verse I
We learn the journey isn't the reward
I know you say that life is dirt
nothing makes me feel unsure
like when we’re fading
Prechorus I
(last in your way)
I’m erasing all my safe schemes
(waiting for days)
Did you guess that I’d forget about it?
(screamed to myself)
And I swore that you’d hold me
(Now that I’m counting
days of the year)
Chorus
You’ve got your reasons
I can’t wear you down
I could give you more or we walk away right now
We’ll take a minute
I won’t bleed you out
I can tell you more when we take a drive downtown
Chorus II
You’ve got your reasons
I can’t wear you down (I can’t wear you down)
I could give you more or we walk away right now
We’ll take a minute
I won’t bleed you out (I won’t bleed you out)
I can tell you more when we take a drive downtown
Verse II
I’ll burn, treason isn’t worth the wait or dedication
Confusion, gripping at my throat with choked infatuation
Prechorus II
(tell me the truth)
When I call to hear you each day
(Just me and you)
Your too far to tell if you’re still loving
(reaching away)
I’m wondering daily
(Under the night where
I can be lost)

Mirror To The Fire

Verse I
You’re alone, but I know, you’re just waiting on a song
(where I wore myself out on you)
I'm feeling like you're leaving you say that you need breathing now
(And I’m trying to forget you)
Prechorus I
Had me coiled up in your palm like a thread
Before you told me all the dangerous thoughts in your head
And now I think so many times of the words to be said
And you tell me I've chosen enough
I should forget about you
Chorus
And I'm trying to hide it
That you're my desire and I was yours
They won't hear a heartbeat,
I walked too fast through your door
Every time that I love, It comes right from the gut,
But you say that I’m stuck to your past
But I react so dumb and trifling
A mirror to the fire inside of me
Verse II
Chasing hands, is the darkness just breaking all your pla-ans
(Is the blame inconsequential?)
I'm hoping that you'll catch me, or text me when you're heading out
(I'm ashamed of our intent, you)
Prechorus II
Had me coiled up like a dog in your bed
Before I realised that my time had run out and you'd left
And now I think so many times of the words to be said
And you tell me I've chosen enough
Or I’ll forget about you
Chorus
And I'm trying to hide it
That you're my desire and I was yours
They won't hear a heartbeat,
I walked too fast through your door
Every time that I love, It comes right from the gut,
But you say that I’m stuck to your past
But I react so dumb and trifling
A mirror to the fire inside of me
Outro
Every time that I love, It comes right from the gut,
But you say that I’m stuck to your past
But I react so dumb and trifling
A mirror to the fire inside of me

Verse I
It’s earnestly said,
My resolution is dead
if you refuse to see the sunlight
Moving through defenseless front lines
I keep on finding your hair
A constant presence of fear
And difficulties more unknown
The air is thicker where I’m going
Prechorus
It’s not a dark situation
I’d rather tumble than be taking it slow
I had a hard time figuring out
It was no wonder why you go
Chorus
Omissions never flare, they go out if you let them
Changing every year, I was cool for a second
Find me in the fall, swept underneath
Forgetting every charm, took a bullet together
You could pull apart, so I’d never remember
The image that would call you back to me
Verse II
Four months and a day
What other sucker would wait
For someone else to take advantage
When all you give is took for granted
A long-distance brawl
Or sympathetically called
Consideration taken daily
To think that you would hope to shake me
Prechorus
It was a bad hesitation
A little stumble in the back of your soul
Another hard time alone in yourself
It was a step too far to know
Bridge
Whatever I can do, you go treat me indifferent
A flicker of appeal, wouldn't kill you to give in
Another little dream falls at my feet
Chorus
Omissions never flare, they go out if you let them
Changing every year, I was cool for a second
Find me in the fall, swept underneath
Forgetting every charm, took a bullet together
You could pull apart, so I’d never remember
The image that would call you back to me

Verse I
Working hard to make an autumn last forever
I’m a sucker for the spin of time
Reading paper through your legs, another compromise
Wash my hands of all the tense and tired moments
I was never gonna lose on you
Feeling sick I gotta take a walk and try to hide
Chorus
I’m not too ambitious, i’m okay on my own
I thought that we would make it, but we made it too slow
When you asked for me to leave, yeah I was ready to go
Yeah it’s true, yeah it’s truer than ever
And i’m not trying to keep it from you, most of the time
And conditions they got rigid, I was losing my mind
But you thought that we could make it better being combined
I don’t care, I don’t mind, I don’t mind, I don’t mind
Verse II
i’m a loser of the lengths you go to
and I’m just a lover of the stupid lies
you’re a wave throughout my nervous sea so take a dive
Calm me down to take the weekend off from it
And this time I can’t really change your tune
Walking deep into a snowy blast of paradise
Chorus
I’m not too ambitious, i’m okay on my own
I thought that we would make it, but we made it too slow
When you asked for me to leave, yeah I was ready to go
Yeah it’s true, yeah it’s truer than ever
And i’m not trying to keep it from you, most of the time
And conditions they got rigid, I was losing my mind
But you thought that we could make it better being combined
I don’t care, I don’t mind, I don’t mind, I don’t mind

Got caught in the hallway, you turned to the door
I thought this was nothing, whispers I could ignore
You wore me like jasmine, in summers we spent
Pretending to notice, looking for the descent
Chorus
I’m gonna play the game another way
I know that I could be so brave
But I am gonna turn away
And I want to stay but living is a chase
along another helpless plane
and you were just a hurricane
Verse II
You tell me you miss this, and we’ll meet in time
Obsessionist mystics stole my peace of mind
My palms are your reference to hold to your heart
They say we’re all different ,they devour your past
Chorus
I’m gonna play the game another way
I know that I could be so brave
But I am gonna turn away
And I want to stay but living is a chase
along another helpless plane
and you were just a hurricane
Bridge
I never wanted this to hurt me
But I could never love so truly
I never wanted you to be alone
Chorus
I’m gonna play the game another way
I know that I could be so brave
But I am gonna turn away
And I want to stay but living is a chase
along another helpless plane
and you were just a hurricane
Outro
And the way we were would change the hurt when we were both in lust
I could never taste it all
you’re late, alone
I’m giving up on love
And the way we were would change the hurt when we were both in lust
I could never taste it all
you’re late, alone
I’m giving up on love

Intro
I’m gonna stay here cause there’s nothing else to do,
I’m on a winner loving you
And when you find me on the backstreets on the way up,
pull me closer to the graces of the day

I know what you did to me
Baby we can hurry we can try to see
We can take it back, make it all repeat
We don’t have to worry now

So you can tell me
I’m not the friend you wanted but you
You’ve got to play the part that I knew
I think you need to walk in my shoes
Know what I do
Chorus
Help me I’m trying
Its okay that you’re mad
We can do it like that, maybe
I get so helpless
I know I’ve been sad
But you never come back, yeah

I changed my mind and cut my hair
I’m not okay with nothing to do)
(I don’t want another lately
Waiting for you made me crazy
Trans-Atlantic talking it through)
Verse II
Trading on the taste of you
It’s not like I ever try to think things through
We can bring it under if you need to prove
Maybe i’m in trouble now, trouble now
So you can tell me

It's not the side you’re on but we know
You’ve got to give it up now go slow
I think you pushed the limit too low
I guess I’ll go, I’ll go

We can do it like that, maybe
I get so helpless
I know I’ve been sad

Outro
You take your blessings from the secrets of the past
Forget your lovers when you do
And when we find you in the backseat of the Skyline
In the suburbs with your brothers by The Brae

Verses
Pull me apart
Pour me a drink
I know that you lost your everything
They figured us out
A single nagging doubt
Holding my tongue
You tell me I’m bold
I’m getting outside a comfort zone
Your will to believe
A measure of deceit
Chorus
And I thought so hard about it
I would fall so far without it
Say that you want me bad
Say that you want me back
Put my mind on hold a minute
You could take my life and quit it
Lie like you never have
Lie like you want me back
Verse II
Counting the cost
Meet me inside
You’re driving too fast, I nearly died
Is that who I am?
A dancer to the end
Save the suspense
Tell me I’m mad
The way that you’re blaming, it makes me sad
So, all of us “done”,
Onto another one
Chorus
And I thought so hard about it
I would fall so far without it
Say that you want me bad
Say that you want me back
Put my mind on hold a minute
You could take my life and quit it
Lie like you never have
Lie like you want me back
Bridge
Tried to tell you
That I’m tough
And I’m the charmer that
You’d never get again
You were open
I shut up
So I left you there
Will it ever end?
Chorus
And I thought so hard about it
I would fall so far without it
Say that you want me bad
Say that you want me back
Put my mind on hold a minute
You could take my life and quit it
Lie like you never have
Lie like you want me back

Start to finish amazing album. "Belinda Says" hits me right in the feels every time. Molly's range from the first, quiet "moving to the country" part to her last word in "we'll start another life" takes me on a trip I never want to end :)
