1.	Puddles and Whizz-bangs 03:21	lyrics	buy track
If you're the mountain, and I'm the sea then We'll never meet Without the sandy beach In between you'll make a promise I'll be bound to break "Cause if you let me test the water I'm gonna drown in the lake If you're a puddle And I'm a whizz-bang What a beautiful mess we're gonna make Your heat's a bass drum, and I'm a violin Will we ever play our tune without accompanying instruments Your eyes are lightning, and my heart's afire Are we feeling truth or just really pretty lies? If you're a puddle And I'm a whizz-bang What a beautiful mess we could make If ya let us, baby boy But I heard you were a car crash And if I'm afraid of heights, well If I start to scream will you take me in your arms and tell me everything's all right? 'Cause if you're a puddle, and I'm a whizz-bang How could we ever think straight in this abstract state?
2.	Whiskey Swiggin' 02:48	lyrics	buy track
Young, rebellious punks Turn into good, old country boys Train hoppin', shine drinkin', banjo strummin', Making noise Marrying the girls with all those tattoos on their faces And letting go of the friends who are chasing the dragon's tail Spring just came too late I tried to imitate it for you with flowers in my hair And songs that a bluejay might sing But winter kills everything in hopes of something new Sometimes we don't make it We melt away with the snow And that's why we'll be Whiskey swiggin' in the middle of the street Talking ourselves to sleep And if that rain keeps a'falling A'pitter-patter on your grave, I don't think I can make it through
3.	The Bridge 04:11	lyrics	buy track
Whisper softly to a musician's ear Whisper all of the things you always wanted to hear Whisper proudly, and whisper clear Watch all your worries as they swiftly disappear Sing me a song of sorrow Sing me a song of solitude Sing it proud and watch your waves crash in to I dreamed of solemn, sorry songs I dreamed of fruitful sing-alongs And these hearts are light but they're beating strong And these notes will teach you right from wrong Sing me a song of loved ones And sing me a song of your peace Sing it proud and watch your waves crash in to Sing me a song of saviors Sing me a song of redemption Sing it proud and watch your waves crash in to Into the ocean and into the sea Into the ocean and into the sea
4.	Children 04:49	lyrics	buy track
We are just children, though we don't treat ourselves so We all feeling the same way though we don't let anybody know And when I was a young girl I knew everything there is to know When I was a young girl nothing could stand in my way But as I grow older, that truth just fades away The science of life is hard to realize when you're living in it We will be just who we are So when you're defining paths to lay out before me Don't be surprised if I stray away I stand in my doorway Contemplating whether I, whether I should go inside Back to the same life I've been living all this time But only a strong heart can leave things behind Only one who knows love can make their own time I thought I knew love, but it wasn't mine
