Beyond the wine
Twelve years ago on a bathroom floor in a town that I am sure you know
I was trying hard not to lose my mind while tucking down my shirt
Then heading down to the bar again where my friends were drinking beer and gin
and I was hoping that maybe one of then would see that I was hurt
What a laugh, what a joke, that I can’t ever leave all of this behind
The answer seem to lie somewhere beyond the wine
In the rain somewhere, 2002 we sailed through the night underneath a crescent moon
or did we travel by canoe? My memory tends to fail.
We took shelter from the storm by a Pizza place across the lake
I remember you being oh so cold as we went back into the rain
What a laugh, what a joke, that I can’t ever leave all of this behind
The answer seem to lie somewhere beyond the wine
There’s no doubt we had a really good time and the friends we made really changed our lives
some of them we’ll never see again, I’m really sad to say
Ol’ Cat wrote songs you could almost touch and Frank sang of friends he couldn’t save
None of this really matters that much, it was the year She passed away
What a laugh, what a joke, that I can’t ever leave all of this behind
The answer seem to lie somewhere beyond the wine

Issues
I got issues that you will never understand
I got scars so deep that they will never heal no matter the time.
Things we do to people we love, terrible things
I don’t know what I’m thinking half the time.
..and you singing in the dead of night in the vestibule of my old house
And everything is perfect now.
Things we do to people we barely met
And I don’t know what you’re saying half the time
And I don’t know what I’m doing now…
I wish it all could stay like this but the sun will rise and a single kiss
will seal this night and we’ll never ever speak of this again,
Things we do to people we love, terrible things
And I don’t know what you’re saying half the time
And I don’t know what I’m supposed to do now…
And I don’t know what I’m supposed to feel now…

A Wall Upfront and Some Wolves Behind
Again so silent when I wanna speak
I wanna put some words on how I feel
I am left up tied and I wanna scream
I am stuck inside on what’s fake what is real yeah
It’s all upside down
and I’m inside out
I keep the action inside
while my heart burns out
And there’s a wall upfront
and some wolves behind
But I am to afraid
to even start to run
It’s all upside down
and I’m inside out
I keep the action inside
while my heart burns out
And there’s a wall upfront
and some wolves behind
But I am to afraid
to even start to run

Mexican Apple Thief
Somehow it all made sense, in the darkness of the hour.
Somehow it all made sense, for us to steal a flower.
A glass in hand, a one night stand or will this last forever?
A glass in hand, a one night stand or could this really last forever?

Heart of Bone Blues
I could leave now and you'd be better off without me.
Then you could do as you please, you wouldn't have to bother about your conscience
You could dance; you could steal someone else's heart and smash it.
'Cause I know that you did it to me once. And I know that you liked it.
Don't stand there and cry, defend yourself.
Don't throw me a lie 'cause I saw it for my self.
You're a cheater with a heart of bone.
You're a cheater. Leave me alone.
You say nothing ever happened but I heard your giggle in his laughter.
And his hands in your pants, doing the dirty finger waltz.
If I leave you now we wouldn't have to see each other ever after.
But that wouldn't matter much to me 'cause everything you sang for me…
Ah, you’re so full of it…
Don't stand there and cry, defend yourself.
Don't throw me a lie 'cause I saw it for my self.
You're a cheater with a heart of bone.
You're a cheater. Leave me alone.
When I came in 'round quarter to three you were standing by the jukebox as pretty as could be. With another man's hands touching your thigh, and you didn't even mind … at all, no…
You're a cheater with a heart of bone.
You're a cheater. Leave me alone.
You're a cheater with a heart of bone.
You're a cheater. Leave me alone.

Something
We both got our reasons for acting the way we do
maybe it’s the season but I’m stuck on you.
You got that something.
Our fingers touch and then we kiss and you know time flies.
What’s on your mind behind those eyes?
You got that something.
You got that something.
And in the middle of the night we say goodbye for the second time around.
You got that something.
You got that something.
You got that something.

Masterpiece by Midnight
I feel so used up inside; I got nothing left to prove.
There’s room for everyone they say but people forget the times has changed.
But I’ll try to make a masterpiece by midnight and push all of my doubts aside.
I used you once and you used me twice but now you’re mine.
Warm and tender, cold and hard, you fell like a dagger through my heart.
Come on let's make a masterpiece by midnight and push all of our worries aside.
Come on let's make a masterpiece by midnight and push all of our worries aside.
Aside…
Lets try to make a masterpiece by midnight and push all of our worries aside.
Common le'ts make a masterpiece by midnight and push all of my doubts aside.

In the Meantime
I’m such a lovable drunk
You’re such a lovable drunk
And I know all the things that we could take and shape our way
And in the meantime, in the meantime, in the meantime I would break you
You ain’t got your shit together
I ain’t got my shit together
and I know that someday I will trick you
But you will trick me too and when you do
please keep in mind, please keep in mind…
That in the meantime, in the meantime, in the meantime you will break me
