The Water

Started out across the water as we made our way back west
The mountain air brought on familiar faces
The ones that we love best
Will I ever shake this feeling from my chest?
Homesick. Lay down and never rest
I've been wasting my time on little people like you
They told me I'd get back what I put into
So I bit off more than I could chew
Been wasting time on little people like you
They told me I'd get back what I put into
So I bit off more than I could chew

See You Around

It's been defeating me for a while
And I'm wrong
Malevolence and denial in each song
Let me show you the way
I've been hanging onto your words
But you're gone
It clings to me like a curse that I thought
That you would show me the way
I thought this was enough to make you see
That the scars we thought would fade still mean everything

I woke up this morning
To the smell of your warm skin
Got interrupted
Thought nothing of it
We got up and got drunk and then
It all happened
We were up alone
While the host of the show was passed out on the ground
We were up alone
So high we could never come back down
We were up alone
With a freak in the bed dressed up as a cat
We had no clue what we got into
Feelings get sweeter
As we light off our sense into the night
Fifty feet and soaring high
If you don't find a bed
Out back there's a tent
And in case you forget
It's an annual event
Let us take you back
We were up alone
While the host of the show was passed out on the ground
We were up alone
So high we could never come back down
We were up alone
With a freak in the bed dressed up as a cat
We had no clue what we got into
We really set the bar this time
This place and all these friends of mine
We came out here to get away from it
So high, we'll never want to come back down
We had no clue
But we'll miss you
My darling, Kimberly

The calm before the storm is always calling
My name from the back of my mind
Keeps warning me that it could be a great time for a little whiskey conversation
Chase behind a frisky tide
My dear, what did you have in mind?
They said you'd hide behind wicked eyes
But it won't be the first time
I had nothing to hide when you were on my side
That will be all for tonight
Off spending days locked away
You were my only friend and
We could always use a getaway
But this time they didn't give us time
They said "we could be great if we hit the road"
She began to cry, said "but Calgary is home"
I had to stop for the moment just to sink in
It was finally happening
They said you'd hide behind wicked eyes
But it won't be the first time
I had nothing to hide when you were on my side
That will be all for tonight

My girlfriend broke up with me and my cat just died
And I don't know why but we've got trouble in paradise
If I could run away you know I'd run for days
So far that you'd never find me
I'd move away to Nepal and seek some wisdom from the mountains tall
This stupid plan will never work at all
I wouldn't make it past Montreal before I ran back to you
And my poor old puss in boots
To tell you I wrote you a song
It goes like this, why don't you sing along
My girlfriend broke up with me and my cat just died
And I don't know why but we've got trouble in paradise
No matter where I go, you know I'll always know
You hold me close to home
Oh, you hold me close to home
When I sleep at night, all I see is you
And you will hold me tight and I won't open my eyes
My girlfriend broke up with me and my cat just died
And I don't know why but we've got trouble in paradise
