Club Soda 03:18
Well it's been some time Since we went our separate ways Won't see me smile Since we went our separate ways It don't mean much to me anymore I won't try To fool your love back home with me I won't lie Words they don't come easy to me anymore Since you left darling No name conversations carry on down to the floor That's not me Well he goes ego every night I can't dance like that Reciting lines like it's the first time That takes time And promises he won't wait to break with the digits on the barroom napkin Once a prince but he'll be backing out On the street Change at her feet She's cold Words they don't come easy to me anymore Since you left darling No name conversations carry on down to the floor That's not me That's for people on TV

Rewrite 03:59
Was a well-dressed girl at center stage In dress The marquee lights had more than once seen her name Juliette Each night's receipt Flowers at her feet Different shades of red Crowd out its seat He drops to his knees "Please, please Juliette" and she says "With the curtain drawn I play the part we're supposed to know But I don't wanna be here right now" With the lights in his eyes Clenched in hand the ring that shines "Give me some idea" He reads the bound pages of the poetry lines She's at the mirror, script in hand, to recite To no one With the curtain drawn she plays the part we're supposed to know "But I don't wanna be here right now" With the lights in his eyes Clenched in hand the ring that shines "Give me some idea"

Bottle 03:21
She said she don't wanna be here anymore State the facts, state the case: “Take a look at my face My hands, my head, they're bleedin' and they're red” I know, I know, I don't care He said he don't wanna wake up in the sun, Make a statement: “Are we having fun? I'm lost, she's lost” They both got washed up in a bottle by the shore I don't wanna act my age So I'm told Lessons to be learned aren't sold It's the school of old Secrets don't make no difference Until they're bottled up and sent away from home Took a wave to turn a push into a shove Story short it's been a while since love I'm rough, she's rough, they both called bluff and shot the shit to dance some more She won't read from a script and she's not on stage He won't sleep in the sun and wake up dazed Okay? I don't wanna act my age So I'm told Lessons to be learned aren't sold It's the school of old

Outro Space 04:28
I've got some places to hide in this world and you're one of them We can't seem to stay in just one place Please don't go Please don't go Still frame poses brighten up your city Steal away the light from your best friend Please don't show Please don't show And I'm better off a seeker Than I am fucking around I'm better off a seeker Than I just settling down, out of town, in the sprawl I'm leaving here first thing in the morning We've got plans made up for us Please take them a little slower now Please go slow Oh so slow I've got some places to find in this world and you're one of them We'll get along okay Please don't go Please don't go And I miss my girl from long ago We took a vacay in the snow But I know The apartment wasn't ours But it was home It was home
