Track Name: Waking Up In Sunlight
let's take it back to where we were
you know, out on 2nd street
nothing to do, no where to go
it was all we had to be

your hair was longer back then
and you talked like you always had something to sat
you loved 5 o'clock on sundays
and me calling up way too late

you used to dance so slow but not any more
what happened to you?
what happened to you?

i don't care much for picture frames
especially these days.
Track Name: Anna
anna do you remember when i first saw you in the sun?
my heart felt like it was on the run
o anna have you grown cold?
well here's my jacket and a smile
won't you stay with me a while?

i've got to say what makes you happy
because you're the only thing that matters to me
and i feel just like we were meant to be
so believe me when i say that i will never leave

o anna you make me happy
you see, you're my girl and i'm your guy
we're dancing under starry skies

i've got to say what makes you happy
because you're the only thing that matters to me
and i feel just like we were meant to be
so believe me when i say that i will never leave your side

o anna you make me happy
you see, you're my girl and i'm your guy
forever under starry skies
Track Name: This Is Not About Mindi Hill
everyday he wakes up at 10 to 9:15
just to make sure it's all coming in clean
but it's all the same in every way what can he say
in his brain she is his medicine

so take a drink
take it down to the floor
go ahead girl get down
go ahead girl get down
and it's so absurd but hell no jealousy aint the word
but it's sure your fashion sense
no love's not blind, but it sure is deaf.

i'll never get it right but that sure is fine
another pick me up so fresh so fine
because i'm better off just getting off
but before you call can we just talk

you sell life for lovers
(it's a shame you're restless)
and here we are

to be sentimental i guess i'm just not there
because all i do is picture you in your underwear

you sell life for lovers
while you wear lines to cover
that you sell life for lovers

it's the same down on your knees
when you're begging please again
when it's over you're never sober
and you won't call till you aren't again
but can i say just for the record of how we do
you'll always be my favorite part that will come and go.

it's a shame you're restless.
and here we are
Track Name: Polaroid Carolina
so lets start a fire just because
the sun is slowly fading and it'll be the end of us
and even though...yes i know we're falling behind
we'll take a chance on this chance and everything will be fine.

so lets pack our bags and head down south
where the warm air will make you shout
"i can't wait for everything to change"

so lets end with everything we hate
because who gives a damn because God damn
it's not like we'll see them again
and i think i know why we met and what it means
that i was my own story and you were my in between

so lets pack our bags and head down south
where the warm air will make you shout
"i can't wait for everything to change"
and we'll polaroid boston's sky
over carolina's southern lines
i can't wait for everything to change

now i can't say where we'll go

so lets pack our bags and head down south
where the warm air will make you shout
"i can't wait for everything to change"
and we'll polaroid boston's sky
over carolina's southern lines
i can't wait for everything to change

i can't wait for everything to change.
Track Name: After Dinner Drinks
turn down the road towards your drive
the leaves line up the side of the road
some things never get old
and the town smells of fires in homes
the room spills down on the floor
o you know some things never get old

you like my southern drunken charm
i like the way you say my name

when the lights go and we're heading out
in the dark but the street light shines on your face
to remind me why you ask why i look at you that way

you like the way i can talk to a wall
i like the way you dress to kill

scientists and communists conspire
writers and politicians try to inspire
but you and i are here
we're young and we're fine, so fine
we're dirty late sleepers

a burning new england sky
your legs wrapped inside of mine
shiver cold.
some things never get old.
Track Name: Off/On (the lean in)
everyone's watching and waiting, anticipating
and you've pinned me up like a picture on a wall
if i'm right here - and you're right there
let's make ourselves scarce to the crowd

from the dim of the light
as we drink down the wine
i'm thinking that we're thinking way too much
embers and sparks!
we take our chances on midnight romances
come on let's make it out making out with the lights off

this is how it's going to be:
eyes closed, nobody knows
clothes off, no time to talk
gotta keep moving, moving on

the first touch is always nice
the 2nd's the same but only twice
smile as i pull you under and your world comes crashing down

this is how it's going to be:
eyes closed, nobody knows
clothes off, no time to talk
gotta keep moving, moving on

and i keep pushing and you keep pulling
sorry, but don't take this too slow

this is how it's going to be:
eyes closed, nobody has to know
clothes off, no time to talk
gotta keep moving, moving on
and i'm just leaning in because i think you want me to
and i just think you want me too
but i just don't know what to do
Track Name: Why You Can't Sleep!
i dance in my sleep
i keep thinking about everything
i'm bursting at the seams and coming undone

tell me what you're drinking
and i'll order it up
i'm just simple conversation
or am i talking way too much about the love
i think it's the love

everyone i meet has got their own stance
they've got their own moves and games
but they won't ever take that chance
they'll only ask you who you are or where you're from
not what you're all about
maybe i'm just looking for something that i want to shout about
i think think it's the love

she says "do you wan to dance?"

i think it's the love.

i dance in my sleep.
