Pour another glass of the liquid courage in your hand
Play another song about another guy who ran
Throw em all away throw em all away again
Were the outsiders that are coming in
Take another shot take another shot wash it all away
The alcohol cleans cuts that are here to stay
we can't we can't
Fall into line
We were taught to stop
Not told how to love
Now we cant we cant
Fall into line
Oh Alicia were doin just fine
We listen to the music that makes us cringe
The one that brings that memory with it
But turn it up turn it up a little more
The pain was never anything to die over
we can't we can't
Fall into line
We were taught to stop
Not told how to love
Now we cant we cant
Fall into line
Oh Alicia were doin just fine
We're falling down falling down falling down
It's too late
We're falling down falling down falling down
We’re already washed away
we can't we can't
Fall into line
We were taught to stop
Not told how to love
Now we cant we cant
Fall into line
Now we cant we cant
Fall into line
Oh Alicia

Coffee Table

There's coffee on the table as well as the rest of my life
I know that i can't stay here but i see right through my mother's eyes
If they could speak they'd say stay here with me
There's a town that i grew up in that grew more than i ever could
Too many faces i knew i could become
I live in a town of busses and roads that all lead out
And tonight is my time
There's coffee on the table as well as the rest of my life
My father says see everything and don't let fear make you blind
I know that someday i'll find my way out of here
All my friends ask why i'm so desperate to leave
This place is like 4 walls that always holds me
I can't be held down by a place that i used to know
And tonight is my time
There's coffee on the table as well as the rest of my life
My brothers say to go out and learn to live my life right
Go see the world and make memories beyond the line
Her lips speak the words of lies and tell me to go and find my life
And he says see everything, don’t let fear make you blind
They told me to see my out and learn to live my life right
So I lived my life right
There's nothing on the table so what about the rest of my life
Please say you’re here to stay and you’ll hold on for the ride

Denial Wine
03:48
|

The scars on our skin mark the pain in our minds
When I say I’m fine I mean there's no use in crying
Sometimes you have to lose it to make it yours
And I’ve made it mine
Just another mind spent in denial wine
A bottle that's never been full of life
All while drowning help me one more time
I've reached the end of the line
Were smiling because we grew great at hiding things
Under these layers is a bruised heart that's scared to scream
Sometimes you have to lose it to make it yours
And I’ve made it mine
Just another mind spent in denial wine
A bottle that's never been full of life
All while drowning help me one more time
I've reached the end of the line
Just another day spent the way I said it wouldn't be
Drunk off doubt and high from anxiety
All while living a life that isn't mine to read
It's starting to get hard to breathe with you beside me
Just another mind spent in denial wine
A bottle that's never been full of life
All while drowning help me one more time
I've reached the end of the line

Didn't Feel Right
03:01
|

|
Driving roads that don't know my name
Just so you'll remember it again
Fall makes death seem beautiful
But with you I could wait a while more
Cause this empty room has me needing
More time with you
I hope that you don't mind
That I wrote this song about | you
It didn’t feel right to have left you there that night, with no one by your side
Oh you, you turned to walk away, told me I should go when I thought that I should stay
You sang these songs out of tune
They’re my favourite ones to listen to
Never thought it'd be hard to leave
I've gotten good at over thinking things
Now this empty room has me needing
More time with you
I hope that you don't mind
That I wrote this one about you
It didn’t feel right to have left you there that night, with no one by your side
Oh you, you turned to walk away, told me I should go when I thought that I should stay
This isn't something new to me
You’re just someone i’m losing
I’m craving something I don’t know
It’s a one way road that i’m unsure of
If I can't keep you here tonight
I apologize but I've tried too many times
You are not the mistakes you've made
You can't be one that I regret to name
Cause this empty room has me needing
More time with you
It didn’t feel right to have left you there that night, with no one by your side
Oh you, you turned to walk away, told me I should go when I thought that I should

Happy Days
03:07

Dancing in the stairwell
I was standing on your feet
You guided me throughout my life
when I fell you lifted me
These would be
the happy days
Laying in the sand with you
Hair damp from the sea
With smiles on our faces
And the sun kissing our cheeks
These would be
the happy days
Looking back on it now
Nothing really changed
From the day that I was born
Until the day you went away
Playing my first chord with you
My hands were pure and weak
The music flooded out your veins
And flowed right into me
And these would be
The happy days
From wedding bells to bridal gowns
i was there through it all
5 years old and i was told
i'd be the flower girl
these would be
the happy days
Looking back on it now
Nothing really changed
From the day that I was born
Until the day you went away
There were times
I'd never seen her laugh so hard
You nearly made her cry
but in the end so did i
Looking back on it now
Nothing really changed
From the day that I was born
Until the day you went away
Looking back on it now
Nothing really changed
From the day that I was born
Until the day you went away
I sat there in church that day
My heart left in defeat
I've never really cried that hard
My memories on repeat
These would be

Lose Each Other
03:13

I'll be here when you come missing home
I'll be here to lift your falling bones
And I will always be everything you need me to be
I'll be here when you can't get through the night
I'll be here when you need a shoulder to cry
And I will always be at the other end of the line
Cause my brothers
We saw our mother
We saw what happens
When you lose each other
So I'll be here
N I'll be here
I'll be here if you ever need a laugh
I'll be here when life starts getting bad
And I will always be cheering for you from the lines
Cause my brothers
We saw our mother
We saw what happens
When you lose each other
So I'll be here
N I'll be here
I've been here since your first day
If you ever need me I'm only a call away
There's nothing you can't ever say
I'm here until our hair turns grey
I'll be here when you come missing home
I'll be here to lift your falling bones
And I will be everything you need me to be
Cause my brothers
We saw our mother
We saw what happens
When you lose each other
So I'll be here
N I'll be here
