Fools 04:11
Fools (King/McBride) It’s been a long time It’s been a long time coming To get away for a while Far away from the little white lies That I believed in Ended up leaving them all Caught in the straight line Never changing And we are running like fools And we are running like fools And we can never go back Never go back to the rules And we are running like fools And we are running like fools Burning all our bridges in two Lighting the way to the truth She was a dreamer Never been away from home Chasing the stars in her eyes All the way to the Hollywood sign Caught in the mystery And stole a car in the summer She made her way out of state Getting closer to something so far away (Chorus) Got a restless mind tonight I can’t stand still When I’m running out of time
2.
I Don’t Want to Know You (King) On the bottom of the ocean floor Another wasted night Staring down the empty trophies I’ll take your hand in mine But I don’t want to know you, baby Ancient practice Burning mattress Summer dreams tonight Waking to the sound of sentimental alibis But I don’t want to know you, baby I don’t want to know
3.
Sweater Weather (King)
 She lives next door In the ivy-covered house On the rooftop, confident Sleeping in the warmth Through the trees and the falling autumn leaves She tells me stories of when she was a queen We could run But there’s nowhere else to go Tell me dear Go on Beautiful you are Too close to not be holding hands Throwing consequence aside In your coat fighting off the frosted air We’re sure of ourselves Sure of it now You had to know That I was fond of you Tell me dear Go on Beautiful you are You could say that I want you to Like I know you do, you do, you do Go on
4.
All We Have 03:58
All We Have (King) You can stay here You can have what’s yours I’ve exhausted myself running through closing doors Maybe you’ve noticed I’m tired of waiting Tired of hanging around Tired of explaining tired of hiding Tired of dying out All we have is right now I don’t fall apart easy No, I don’t break down There’s a part of me Crying out to be found I’m looking for the rhythm Looking for a way in Looking for a little love I’m looking for some trouble If you promise not to laugh out loud I’ll never give it up
5.
Escaping Together (King) Goodbye, so long We finished our song Major to minor and it all went so wrong Everyone stares Everyone smiles I see through myself and there’s nothing inside “You’re fooling yourself,” she said, “waiting in line. You’ll do it again and again every time.” It’ll all fall apart again I thought about taking it easy on you I thought about going away Say what you will You’ve got nothing to say There was a time when I’d take you away But you still know how to ruin my day It’ll all fall apart again
6.
Headache 01:28
Headache (King) I read your diary Now I know what you think of me And I’m sorry I’m sorry I got a head injury All alone and you won’t see me You’re not sorry You’re not sorry Where is the girl that I used to know Where is the face that I used to touch Where is the place where we fell in love I don’t know
7.
3x5 04:33
3x5 (King) These 3x5s Tell our story Filtered memories Trapped in time Now it’s over We’re out of frame Overexposed Out of range Now you see me Now you don’t No, you can’t touch up All your lies Shots were fired in our tired eyes Now it’s over We’re out of range Overexposed Out of frame
8.
Old Hotel 05:02
Old Hotel (King) We used to have it Oh, so easy We held it in our hands A lazy summer’s afterthought We never made a plan I remember last September’s Picture-perfect evening Staring down the sun, I wondered How we lost the feeling It’s true Everybody has a question mark on where to stand Roll my sleeves and cuff my pants This is not my holy land Writers writing Riding high How many lies do you make? How many smiles do you fake? I’ll tear you down like an old hotel By the water that you’re drowning in It’s true How can I be free When all I want is to be trapped by you I do It’s gonna take all summer long To hold you in my arms Tell me what I want to hear Your words are never wrong
9.
Prove It 03:48
Prove It (King) They say you’ve got everything that you want But I know you don’t Money and fame Everyone knows your name But do they want you? Who knows Do they want you? Prove it to yourself (Do you want to?) Prove it to yourself (Do you really need to?) Prove it to yourself) Twenty years ago, the star of the show Holly would if she could’ve Nothing lasts forever, baby Top of the TV But the silver screen didn’t need ya (Chorus) You better be careful You better look out
10.
Digital Fantasy (King/Dietz/McBride) I’m following along a dream But I’m not where I’m supposed to be In a line all the time But I won’t let it go I’m borrowing a fantasy Laid out for everyone to see Riding high on a screen It’s a lie, it’s a lie We are chasing impossible dreams Who are you? On your own Here we go
11.
No, You Don’t (King/Rosa) Tell me why When I’m looking into your eyes I want to tell you everything But I don’t, I don’t Do you think that our secrets will keep us alone? I want to tell you everything But I won’t, I won’t Say what you say I won’t turn away ‘Cause I know that I can be true My haunted heart has wandered alone Till you We are all shadows with dreams in our heads And timing makes a difference I know you know Never felt I could find a place to call home All I want is you next to me I know you know Say what you say I won’t turn away ‘Cause I know that I can be true Darling the past is written in stone And you don’t want to know No, you don’t Do you want to know a secret? No, you don’t
