Day 1 Barely made it to the show The tire’s blown and it seems like a lifetime ago with those gross soco and cokes and those long drives home Standing tall through thick and thin Is all that we know What if I told you it was a dozen years this summer Since that foundation was built Would you believe it I get back to those nights sometimes Reminds me of you Reminds me of you That reminds me THAT REMINDS ME OF YOU And getting back to VFW halls I never got to thank you, thank you for driving us home

The ocean made you feel so small You’re a kid you run away from waves so tall You try to stay dig your feet in (dig your feet) You need to learn the sun is going to burn your skin Still you try to stay Chase that misery How long does the tide take to turn Sun-drenched blistered can’t feel the burn You’re your own (worst) enemy You’re your own (worst) enemy Reaching out a hand blindly into the air Through the teeth of all the thing That are keeping you scared Can’t outrun the things you chase (can't out run, can't out run) Cure what ales you with more misery *more misery* Can’t outrun the things you chase with misery Reaching out a hand blindly into the air Through the teeth of all the thing That are keeping you scared you're your own (worst) enemy Reaching out a hand blindly into the air Through the teeth of all the thing That are keeping you scared Can’t outrun the things you chase (can't out run, can't out run) Cure what ales you with more misery *more misery*

The Pact 03:11
What you said what you wrote what they all believe What you claim will it go will it go unseen And from a distance you will seem like you’re patiently waiting for me to give up everything to you There’s blood in the water I’ll run to the beach* To stand on sand quick to swallow me Things I said in confidence to you Are conversations now Heard over my shoulder my own words ring out loud Remember when you said This is a pact Forever stay by my side and keep the wolves at bay Light me a match along my way and I’ll do the same for you always And from a distance you will seem like you’re patiently waiting for me to give up everything to you There’s blood in the water I’ll run to the beach To stand on sand quick to swallow me Things I said in confidence to you Are conversations now Heard over my shoulder my own words ring out loud There’s blood in the water I’ll run to the beach! To stand on sand quick to swallow me

I can’t make up your mind anymore than you can You can take my advice I can’t hold your breath well it’s written on your face And contradicts the cursive on your waist Whenever you’re down just breathe it will be OK It’ll be OK All those tensed up thoughts that won’t end All that you expect is making you such a wreck I can’t make up your mind anymore than you can You can take my advice I can’t hold hold your breath well it’s written on your face And contradicts the cursive on your waist Whenever you’re down just breathe it will be OK It’ll be OK and All those tensed up thoughts that won’t end It will be okay All that you expect is making you such a wreck I can’t make up your mind anymore than you can You can take my advice I can’t hold hold your breath Whenever you’re down just breathe it will be OK It’ll be OK I can’t hold your breath

I spent nights in circles driving to this radio And I made plans to meet old friend Before it closed back at the old coat The days are much shorter and the nights a little cold We won’t forget these nights when we get old Let’s recall we thought we knew so well It’s what we taught ourselves, It’s what we taught ourselves Let’s recall we thought we knew so well It’s what we taught ourselves, It’s what we taught ourselves We were rolling through the moments Caught up in the tide Until the bow breaks and the ship wrecks For the last time I spent nights in circles driving to this radio and I made myself sick believing stimulants will stimulate a thing The nights are much blacker than the coffee in my holder One’s too hot and the other keeps getting cold Recall Let’s recall we thought we knew so well It’s what we taught ourselves, It’s what we taught ourselves Let’s recall we thought we knew so well It’s what we taught ourselves, It’s what we taught ourselves We were rolling through the moments Caught up in the tide Until the bow breaks and the ship wrecks for the last time By the time you get home you’re rolling through the motions Then the years will go you're rolling through the motions When a friend that’s close goes hold onto the moments And keep raising that toast
