​Ready To Go​
When the day starts to fade and you feel alone
Paint your face and then wait by the telephone
When you hear that sound, it's just your weakness
Waiting to be found among the sleepless

As you wait you'll debate just saying 'no'
Have a drink 'til you think you're ready to go

Into a grey town to paint it bright red
Until you lay down upon the right bed

Though you say you're afraid of the typical
You parade in the shade of the physical
Maybe they won't know, if you can hide it
That you sell your soul because you like it

And when you're done having fun & feeling low,
Say 'goodnight', hit the lights, you're ready to go
To an empty room, to feel the night end
But, baby, it's too soon for you to try again

After this decision that we make
I'll be yours and you'll be my mistake
After this decision that we make
I'll be yours and you'll be my excuse for every other lie
We tell ourselves so we can have our way



​What Comes Around
When I pictured our last goodbye
You were kicking and screaming
But this morning I realize
I was desperately dreaming

Because, baby, you have to go
And there’s no time for grieving
Yeah, baby, you have to go
But I’m the one leaving

Shame on me for these tears I cry
Over something expected
Shame on me for believing
My heart was ever protected

Because, baby, I have to go
Because I’m bringing you down
Yeah, baby, I should have known
This is what comes around
This is what comes around

Swing your fist, I won’t resist
I’ll end up on the floor
Do your worst, you’re not the first
No, I’ve been where you stand before

Shame on me for believing
I couldn’t feel so rejected

Because, baby, I have to go

‘Cuz I’m bringing you down

Yeah, baby, I should have known

This is what comes around

This is what comes around

 

Swing your fist, I won’t resist

I’ll end up on the floor

Do your worst, you’re not the first

No, I’ve been where you stand before

 

You will be the agent

Of all that goes around

And I will be aware as I go

That there’s a curse for swinging first

But you’ve got to do it to know
 

​This One's For Me
Well, I’ve had a lot to drink and now it’s getting kind of late

So, before you listen further let’s just get this one thing straight

I’ve written many songs because, well, that’s just what I do

But this one is for me and it was never meant for you

 

So, you can turn the volume down or simply walk away

‘Cuz you’re not gonna like the sound of what I have to say

I’ll give you one more moment out of mercy and respect

But this is how I function, baby, what did you expect?

 

So, go… Carry on

And just know…

That this is all a part of moving on

Now that love has gone

 

And I don’t have the right to look a liar in the face

One who kept an open book in such an open place

And I don’t want to tell you how I came to know you lied

So you can keep pretending that you have nothing to hide

 

Like who you might’ve touched or how it all began

Or why you never hesitated making other plans

Oh, I don’t want you spending every night alone in tears

But maybe do some mourning for the death of seven years?

 

So, go… Carry on

And just know…

That this is all a part of moving on

Now that love has gone

 

And now, if you’re still listening, you must be feeling strong

Perhaps you’re thinking to yourself, “He’s gotten something wrong”

Or maybe what I saw and what I felt were never real

Or maybe you’re denying it so you don’t have to deal

 

Well, if this hurts your heart or if you’re feeling harmed

Then go back to the start and remember you were warned

You didn’t have to listen, oh, you could’ve walked away

And that’s what I keep telling myself every single day

 

So, go… Carry on

And just know…

That this is just a part of moving on

 

This is just a part of moving on
