Window In the Wintertime

I don't know why
Do you know why?
This has to be so complicated
I don't know why
Do you know why?
This type of thing stays in the back of my head
I'm not the type
To get over this
I'm not the type
To forget
Each conversation we had
The spaces between the words that we said
Well it's complicated
I'm not the type
To misplace
That look you gave me outside
My window in the wintertime
My window in the wintertime
My window in the wintertime
I'm not the type
To let these images drift
Like the snow onto your coat
Down to the scarf around your throat
Down to the scarf around your throat
Follow these tracks
But they lead to nowhere
Like the fog from your breath outside
My window in the wintertime
My window in the wintertime
My window in the wintertime

Shatter
03:19

I wish I could've accepted it more gracefully
But I'm not very good
At hiding a single emotion I have
And you should know that by now
That I'm transparent
And you used to
Like that about me
You said on the roof of a building one night
I was spacing out
Thinking about the height
How I love to stare straight down
And you should know that by now
That I'm a sheet of glass
And I don't get scratched easily
But when I break, I really shatter
I really shatter
I really shatter
You know I couldn't accept the reflection you made
In glass over city streets
Images fall
And you should know that by now
And that's when the skyline sighed
from the kind in your eyes
The secrets we forgot
Were dignified
And you should know that by
You should know that by
You should know that by now

What Happened Today
04:14

Will you be my forever
If forever's today?
Will you stay with me now,
Despite all the rain?
When the seasons change
Will our laughter fade?
When the story ends
Will we say
What happened today
With my head on your shoulder,
Oh don't drive away
I will stay with you now
If you promise not to change
When the seasons change
Will our laughter fade?
When the story ends
Will we say
What happened today
--Cello Interlude--
Hearts and minds
They don't always communicate
Which will you listen to
If they both say
What happened today
When the seasons change
When our laughter fades?
When the story ends
We'll both say
What happened today

Not Sure Why You Do
02:38

There are only a few things
That keep me talking to you
Yeah just a few things
Not sure why I do
I'm not sure why I do
I'm not sure why I do
I wrote you all those stupid cards
They said "Thinking of you"
But when I open up my mailbox
It's as empty as you will be when I stop calling
When you ain't got no one
Empty as your voice when you tell me you love me too
I'm not sure why you do
I'm not sure why you do
I'm not sure why you do
Why do you say it so convincingly
If all you're doing here is mocking me?
I say I love you 'cause I mean it
But it would be nice if you'd just tell me
How you really feel
You only call me when you need something
You say, "Honey, I need you,"
And I drop everything
Not sure why I do
I'm not sure why I do
I'm not sure why I do

Familiar Stranger

We talked about everything
And you've got
No excuses
We covered it all
But you left out that part
Now you stand alone
You stand all alone
Now that he's gone
What will it take
For you to learn?
That you never knew me,
You only thought you did
No you never knew me,
You only thought you did
And now this town is a mess
You know, you can't fix it
And this all surrounds me,
I know I can't fix it
Time is a funny thing
It helped me to realized
The fire I saw in your eyes that night
A beautiful face saying, "Go ahead, I won't bite"
But you never knew me,
You only thought you did
No you never knew me,
You only thought you did
And now this town is a mess
You know, you can't fix it
(You never knew me, you only thought you did)
And this all surrounds me,
(You never knew me, you only thought you did)
I know I can't fix it

Daisy

I'll tell you something sweet
Just go to sleep tonight
And I will lie awake
And think til the morning light
About wild orchids or
The flower in your hair
I may be cynical
But at least I really care
I always see you there
Be my Daisy
I'll be your Gatsby
I promise to stay up late
And sleep til the afternoon
And if you leave me
I won't be sorry
Cause I know that's something Daisy would never do
Throw you a party
Give you everything you want
Though it's four a.m. just know that we're not done
I'll talk about the war
Like I'm some kind of man
But in the end I think you know just where I stand
Be my Daisy
I'll be your Gatsby
I promise to stay up late
And sleep til the afternoon
And if you leave me
I won't be sorry
Cause I know that's something Daisy would never do
I'll be your Daisy
If you'll be my Gatsby
I promise to stay up late
And sleep til the afternoon with you
And if you leave me
I won't be sorry
Cause I know that's something Daisy would never do
Yeah I know that's something Daisy would never do
I know that's something Daisy would never do

Never Better Off
04:13

Standing on the edge
Of a world laid bare
I've got nothing to say
You've got nothing to share
So I opened up my ears
To a song that's new
I'm no good with the words
But I can sing about you
When you said
I couldn't stay
I should've stayed
A step behind
Now I say
The path that you've led
The choices you make
You're never better off dead
But you're living in a world
Where the sky turns black
I don't know what to think
Don't know how to react
So I'll write this all down
Just to burn it in flames
Write five more songs
With five less names
When you said
I couldn't stay
I should've stayed
A step behind
Now I say
The path that you've led
The choices you make
You're never better off dead
When you said
I couldn't stay
I should've stayed
A step behind
Now I say
The path that you've led
The choices you make
You're never better off dead
When you said
I couldn't stay
I should've stayed
A step behind

Forest Green
03:42

You don't gotta meet me there
We can go anywhere you want to
You want to
It's just the place I drive towards
When I'm not meaning to drive towards
Anywhere at all
Anywhere at all
The trees are losing their leaves
And I am losing my patience
It falls down
It falls off
It falls
And it crunches beneath your feet
Oh we're both forest green today
You don't know what I mean
And I don't like explaining myself
I see feelings like a crayola box
I'm a creek you're a skipping rock
You don't gotta let me
Get into your car
I'll get in if that's easier
We won't drive very far
Do you want me to?
Do you want me to?
The trees are losing their leaves
And I am losing my patience
It falls down
It falls off
It falls
And it crunches beneath your feet
Oh we're both forest green today
You don't know what I mean
And I don't like explaining myself
I see feelings like a crayola box
I'm a creek you're a skipping rock
