It wasn’t all
It wasn’t all I said
It wasn’t all
It wasn’t all I meant
It wasn’t all
But it was enough for you
It wasn’t all
It wasn’t all you could
It wasn’t all
It wasn’t all good
It wasn’t all
But it was enough for me
And I’ll go walking with you
On any afternoon
Oh, I,
Oh I still do
And I won’t share what we knew
Whatever I do
Oh, I,
I’ll be true.
It wasn’t all
It wasn’t all your fault
It wasn’t all
It wasn’t always cold
It wasn’t all
But it was enough for you
It wasn’t all
It wasn’t always bad
It wasn’t all
It wasn’t all I had
It wasn’t all
Oh you were enough for me.
And I’ll go walking with you
On any afternoon
Oh, I,
Oh I still do
And I won’t share what we knew
Whatever I do
Oh, I,
I’ll be true.
And I’ll go walking with you
On any afternoon
Oh, I,
Oh I still do
And I won’t share what we knew
Whatever I do
Oh, I,
I’ll be true.

I Did the Writing
03:16

You lent your arm
I fixed your shirt
I meant you harm
You took the worst
And I felt warm
From the first
But love is lightning
And I wasn’t falling
I did the writing
You did the calling back
You were out
About the town
While I was here
Coming down
But it is more
Just to be around
And I wasn’t listening
Well, you weren’t asking
The heat was blistering
While we were tracking back
And you say that you wear
Everything we say and do
But that seems hardly fair
When I have to carry you
This is the close
Well, these are the years
And you let go
What I fear
But I don’t joke
The way you hear
Yes I was hoping
You weren’t laughing
Was I just hoping
While you were clapping back?

A Drive Down a Coastline
03:10

The fault line
The wide sky
But I won’t lie
It doesn’t mean much to me
The clear night
The cold light
But I won’t fight
It doesn’t mean much to me
If we arrive a moment late
Then we’ll miss the closing gate
But I won’t run,
Oh wait, wait wait
Oh,
Keep this near you
Oh I, oh I can hear you
And I’ll tell you where to go
The spare key
The broken knee
Oh I won’t plead
It doesn’t mean much to me
Won’t you step outside with me again
Close your eyes, leave your friends
Feel the weight,
Feel the bend, bend bend
Oh
Keep this near you
Oh I,
Oh I can hear you
And I’ll tell you what I know

It started raining
Right about the time the light started fading
And I’ve been sitting by an open window
So I can feel it
And I feel hungover
And I am hung up on you
And there’s been nothing much today to do
So darling forgive me
But I’ve worn the thought of you out
It’s just you’re all I want to think about
And I feel hungover
And I am hung up on you
And there’s been nothing much today to do
So darling forgive me
But I’ve worn the thought of you out
It’s just you’re all I want to think about

In the Morning
03:49

|
There wasn’t much
There wasn’t much I could do
There isn’t much
That makes me feel new
The way you claim I do
There wasn’t much
No there wasn’t much at stake
Not enough
To justify the choices I’ve made
The ones I made with you
But all will be well
In the morning
I’ll see you again
I’ll throw up my hands
And surrender
Yes all will be well
In the morning
I’ll hold you and then
I’ll start the long drive home
The consequence
Oh the consequences lean
On better men
Than you and I
Even hoped we could be
Oh, please stay with me
The back and forth
We’ve been back and forth enough
To calibrate how to celebrate
Every touch
I thought that’d be enough
But all will be well
In the morning
I’ll see you again
I’ll throw up my hands
And surrender
Yes all will be well
In the morning
I’ll hold you and then
I’ll start the long drive home
We’ve had plenty of time
To learn to leave
We’re in separate kinds
Of misery
Oh, I meant it when I said
Stay with me
Oh, I meant it but then…
But all will be well
In the morning
I’ll see you again
I’ll throw up my hands
And surrender
Yes all will be well
In the morning
I’ll hold you and then
I’ll start the long drive home

In Time

Will I leave you lonely
Will you be my only
Time will tell
Only time will tell
Will you keep on calling
Will I ever stop falling
Oh time will tell
Only time will tell
But you’ve got a lifetime to figure out
What my “I Love You” was about
Cause though it’s clear to me
It’ll only be plain to see in time
Will you hold my hand
When I can’t understand
Oh, time will tell
Only time will tell
Will I keep you hoping
When you’re barely coping
Oh time will tell,
Only time will tell
But I’ve got a lifetime to figure out
What your “I Love You” was about
Though I know what I’m hoping for
The only way to be sure is time
Will you feel the same
If I can’t recall your name
Oh time will tell
Only time will tell
Will I hold you steady
If you’re half gone already
Oh time will tell
Only time will tell
Oh we’ve got a lifetime to figure out
What our “I Love You”s were about
But as long as I call you mine
Well I’ll always say you’re worth the time
Oh we’ve got our lifetime to figure it out
What our “I love you”s have always been about
But a minute to call you mine
Well I’ll always say you’re worth the time
Just a moment to call you mine
Will always have been well worth the time

Montreal

Now that I’m older
I’ve grown a little bolder
But no less true
And it’s no less true
That all my sighing
Only ever leads to crying
But it’s what I do
It’s what I do
So I’ll go to Montreal
I’ll see and do it all
Walk down the boulevards
Think of something new
But if a week alone
Can seem to shake me so
I guess I’ll get to wondering while I do
If when I’m older
I’ll run a little colder
Like you
Well, I could stand to
Maybe in montreal
I’ll finally see it all
Tie up all the ends that won’t compute
Consider well instead
What I come to when
To fall further than fair’s no longer cute
When I’m older.
