Hey little lady, what'd you come here for
This isn't the place for you
Take your body out
Of the memories you found
On the floor of the hotel room
This world's not as bad as you told me it'd be
This isn't as hard
As you'd have me believe
I want to love you, but you're exhausting

Honey, can't you see you're bringing me down
I don't like the way you sound
When your voice gets too loud
Darling, I am sick and tired of the fighting
How far can we spin out before righting
I feel like a broken record, spinning round and round
I can hear myself repeating, but I can't stop the sound
Lately you've been looking like an old house
With a leaky, leaky roof
Wallpaper torn and peeling
Where the kids stole a piece for proof
They wanted to show that they had been there
They wanted their friends to know
But why does it matter if no one lives there
Why does it count if no one's home

River Hymn

Stay here with me, sit by the river
Here in the sweet mint and thyme
Honey, I've got no time for you
Rivers still run, the sun is still the sun
But honey, I'm not in love with you
I hate to say, the love has gone away
It caught the wind that dragged it down the plains
Lay me down, run with the river
Down to the state borderline
Honey, i'd never lie to you
Nights come and go, the sun turns to snow
But I can't make myself love you
I wish that I could keep you safe from harm
But honey, you will never have my heart

Revelations

There's no easy way around this
Just hide me in the closet
Like you always do
There's no easy way to say this
You make your bed, and you lay in it
We do what we have to do
If you never hear another word that comes from my mouth,
All I ask is just hear me out
Everyone's doing everything they can,
This world is cruel
Just because we hurt you, doesn't mean we meant to
There's no easy way to say this
You pick your battles and make stupid choices
You had everything you wanted,
What made you walk away from it?
It makes no sense for you to leave,
You've seen everything there is to see
Oh well, that's fine
It's not my life
There's always something you can't get right
There's no easy way to say this
You're always gonna hide me in the closet
You're always gonna make stupid choices
Someday you'll lose everything you wanted
And then you'll blame it on me
Say it's my fault I didn't stick around to see
But I'm not sorry, if I had
You would have ruined me
