I've made a closet of my head
And I can't separate
The dirty piles of things you said
The sweetness and the hate
And I know it's time to find the floor
So, I'll clean up a little more
But til then, I promise you, I'll be good
I promise you, I thought I never would
Promise you time would take the pain away
Til then, I'm growing
I'll still be growing, growing out of you
If I tape your picture on the wall
Write the callous words you said
If I play that Carly song
Over in my head
Could that tie a string around what's left
To remind me to forget?
Til then, I promise you, I'll be good
And I promise you, I thought I never would
Promise you time would take the pain away
Til then, I'm growing
And I'll still be growing, growing out of you
I'm tired of listening to my heart
I'm tired of the truth
We don't fit like we used to
I promise you, I'll be good
I promise you, I thought I never would
Promise you time would take the pain away
But til then, I'm growing
And I'll still be growing, growing out of you
Can't Get There From Here (Parking Lot Song - Part 2) lyrics - aslyn
I pulled the letter from my pocket
You closed your door and I said, "Lock it."
I wanna say to you, I've sincerely thought this out
I felt the need to use this paper
To list the things that tend to taper off
Like conversations we complete under our breath
When it hurts so bad
And we act like nothing's wrong
Are the little things enough to break this off?
When the sun, it goes down on a parking lot
Do you run? Do you fight? Do you not
Settle down or can we still connect the dots?
Cause we ain't gonna get there from here
I give you time to crack your window
Adjust your cap, the big crescendo
I'm waiting for an anything to let me know your stance
And you look over with those shadowed eyes
And the windows fog as you try and size it up
Is this the end? Is this the place where nothing lives?
When it hurts so bad
Is the damamge just too strong?
Should it really be this hard to move along?
When the sun, it goes down on a parking lot
Do you run? Do you fight? Do you not
Settle down or can we still connect the dots?
Cause we ain't gonna get there from here
When it hurts so bad
Are we right where we belong?
When it hurts so bad, so bad
When the sun, it goes down on a parking lot
Do you run? Do you fight? Do you not
Settle down or can we still connect the dots?
Cause we ain't gonna get there from here
We ain't gonna get there
We ain't gonna get there, not from here
You closed your door and I said, "Lock it."
I wanna say to you, I've sincerely thought this out
I felt the need to use this paper
To list the things that tend to taper off
Like conversations we complete under our breath
When it hurts so bad
And we act like nothing's wrong
Are the little things enough to break this off?
When the sun, it goes down on a parking lot
Do you run? Do you fight? Do you not
Settle down or can we still connect the dots?
Cause we ain't gonna get there from here
I give you time to crack your window
Adjust your cap, the big crescendo
I'm waiting for an anything to let me know your stance
And you look over with those shadowed eyes
And the windows fog as you try and size it up
Is this the end? Is this the place where nothing lives?
When it hurts so bad
Is the damamge just too strong?
Should it really be this hard to move along?
When the sun, it goes down on a parking lot
Do you run? Do you fight? Do you not
Settle down or can we still connect the dots?
Cause we ain't gonna get there from here
When it hurts so bad
Are we right where we belong?
When it hurts so bad, so bad
When the sun, it goes down on a parking lot
Do you run? Do you fight? Do you not
Settle down or can we still connect the dots?
Cause we ain't gonna get there from here
We ain't gonna get there
We ain't gonna get there, not from here

Wally lyrics - aslyn
Dear Wally Im writing this letter sincerely
To tell you you're the sweetest boy I've ever known
Remember the USO when we met
You almost didn't go
Well, me and your two sons are very glad you did
When your eyes found me I could hardly breathe
I wanted you
Glad you wanted me
I never stopped falling in love with you Wally
From the first day I saw you
I was sailor-bound, I just knew
You had me, I was yours
We danced out, on the floor
And with each passing day
I only loved you more
That night was pure magic
Who would have imagined
It would become 55 loving wonderful years
Your job was not all easy
Those last years I could hardly speak
But when I looked at you, I knew nothing had changed
And when I was leaving
I could feel you hurting
But then I saw those angels
And I knew your love would want this for me
I never stopped falling in love with you Wally
From the first day I saw you
I was sailor-bound, I just knew
You had me, I was yours
We danced out, on the floor
And with each passing day
I only loved you more, more, more, more ,more
So while you're waiting
Know that I'm saying I love you
I love you
I never stopped falling in love with you Wally
From the first day I saw you
I was sailor-bound, I just knew
You had me, I was yours
We danced out, on the floor
And with each passing day
I only loved you more
You had me, I was yours
We danced out, On the floor
And with each passing day
I only loved you more
Dear Wally
To tell you you're the sweetest boy I've ever known

You almost didn't go
Well, me and your two sons are very glad you did

I never stopped falling in love with you Wally
From the first day I saw you

What Is The Difference lyrics - aslyn
What is the difference
A friend and a lover?
Is there room in the middle for me?
You are so beautiful
You make me make out a fool
To work out a way to be
I could fly like a bird
But I just can't let it be
What have I gotta do
When all you see is passing sand?
Cause I would rather lose it all
Than watch you walking hand in hand
With some other girl
She's stealing my fate
But I can't make you dream of me
I can't make you dream of me
Is there holy water?
Does salt heal things better?
Cause I need a place to heal
My heart's a flat tire
I sulk and admire
Hoping you'll stop for me
I could hide like a turtle
But I just can't let it be
What have I gotta do
When all you see is passing sand?
Cause I would rather lose it all
Than watch you walking hand in hand
With some other girl
She's stealing my fate
But I can't make you dream of me
I can't make you dream of me
You can't force a fire
And I'm not a good liar
I'm wanting you all for me
What have I gotta do
When all you see is passing sand?
Cause I would rather lose it all
Than watch you walking hand in hand
With some other girl
She's stealing my fate
But I can't make you dream of me
I can't make you dream of me
I can't make you dream of me
I can't make you dream
Oh
Oh
Oh
A friend and a lover?
Is there room in the middle for me?
You are so beautiful
You make me make out a fool
To work out a way to be
I could fly like a bird
But I just can't let it be
What have I gotta do
When all you see is passing sand?
Cause I would rather lose it all
Than watch you walking hand in hand
With some other girl
She's stealing my fate
But I can't make you dream of me
I can't make you dream of me
Is there holy water?
Does salt heal things better?
Cause I need a place to heal
My heart's a flat tire
I sulk and admire
Hoping you'll stop for me
I could hide like a turtle
But I just can't let it be
What have I gotta do
When all you see is passing sand?
Cause I would rather lose it all
Than watch you walking hand in hand
With some other girl
She's stealing my fate
But I can't make you dream of me
I can't make you dream of me
You can't force a fire
And I'm not a good liar
I'm wanting you all for me
What have I gotta do
When all you see is passing sand?
Cause I would rather lose it all
Than watch you walking hand in hand
With some other girl
She's stealing my fate
But I can't make you dream of me
I can't make you dream of me
I can't make you dream of me
I can't make you dream
Oh
Oh
Oh
A Lucky One lyrics - aslyn
Set it up
You seem not estranged to the cigarette you're lighting
You're most screwed up
Cause that's the shirt you wear and that's how you like it
When you grow
Can't you stand to be a man
Or will you always brand
The light up in the sky you're hating
Mom and dad, they're always pacing
20 years and trying to get away
You're a lucky one with all your trying
And that luck is all you'll have left, trying to prove you
It can't be fun
When you see that all your real friends knew you were lying
But you're never done
With your stories, your excuses, your goodbye-ing
When you push
Them away, you might have less day
For blowing out
That light up in the sky you're hating
Mom and day, they're still complaining
20 years and trying to get away
You're a lucky one with all your trying
And that luck is all you'll have left, trying to prove you
She's all you got
She's all you got
She changes a lot
A preacher, you are not
But you know all the right things to say
You ruined it all
But it never was your turn to pay attention
Attention's all
All that you want but that you would never mention
Watch your wall
And watch that bridge, you might tumble over
When your one wish is
For the light up in the sky you're hating
Mom and day, they'll be there waiting
20 years and trying to get away
You're a lucky one with all your trying
And that luck is all you'll have left, trying to prove you
You seem not estranged to the cigarette you're lighting
You're most screwed up
Cause that's the shirt you wear and that's how you like it
When you grow
Can't you stand to be a man
Or will you always brand
The light up in the sky you're hating
Mom and dad, they're always pacing
20 years and trying to get away
You're a lucky one with all your trying
And that luck is all you'll have left, trying to prove you
It can't be fun
When you see that all your real friends knew you were lying
But you're never done
With your stories, your excuses, your goodbye-ing
When you push
Them away, you might have less day
For blowing out
That light up in the sky you're hating
Mom and day, they're still complaining
20 years and trying to get away
You're a lucky one with all your trying
And that luck is all you'll have left, trying to prove you
She's all you got
She's all you got
She changes a lot
A preacher, you are not
But you know all the right things to say
You ruined it all
But it never was your turn to pay attention
Attention's all
All that you want but that you would never mention
Watch your wall
And watch that bridge, you might tumble over
When your one wish is
For the light up in the sky you're hating
Mom and day, they'll be there waiting
20 years and trying to get away
You're a lucky one with all your trying
And that luck is all you'll have left, trying to prove you
Bread Crumbs lyrics - aslyn
There is a corner
Somewhere off Broadway
There was a story, never told
I was the ears
When the first time it opened
63 years, like dirty gold
He sang like the angels heard him, oh
God, tell me it's over
This life on my shoulder
Is killing my soul
Bread crumbs on a lonely
Street, they don't own me
They're making me stone
He spoke of the water
His faith and his daughter
His answers and questions of the war
Said when he was younger
His dreams were his heartland
He can't find his way back anymore
And then, like a prayer, he left me, oh
God, tell me it's over
This life on my shoulder
Is killing my soul
Bread crumbs on a lonely
Street, they don't own me
They're making me stone
Somedays, I am restless
For why? My best guess
Is there's a message to impart
I'll always remember
More than an ember
One lonely sailor in my heart
A shout from the mouth, all I hear, oh
God, tell me it's over
This life on my shoulder
Is killing my soul
Bread crumbs on a lonely
Street, they don't own me
They're making me stone
God, tell me it's over
This life on my shoulder
Is killing my soul, soul
Bread crumbs on a lonely
Street, they don't own me
But they're making me stone, yeah
Somewhere off Broadway
There was a story, never told
I was the ears
When the first time it opened
63 years, like dirty gold
He sang like the angels heard him, oh
God, tell me it's over
This life on my shoulder
Is killing my soul
Bread crumbs on a lonely
Street, they don't own me
They're making me stone
He spoke of the water
His faith and his daughter
His answers and questions of the war
Said when he was younger
His dreams were his heartland
He can't find his way back anymore
And then, like a prayer, he left me, oh
God, tell me it's over
This life on my shoulder
Is killing my soul
Bread crumbs on a lonely
Street, they don't own me
They're making me stone
Somedays, I am restless
For why? My best guess
Is there's a message to impart
I'll always remember
More than an ember
One lonely sailor in my heart
A shout from the mouth, all I hear, oh
God, tell me it's over
This life on my shoulder
Is killing my soul
Bread crumbs on a lonely
Street, they don't own me
They're making me stone
God, tell me it's over
This life on my shoulder
Is killing my soul, soul
Bread crumbs on a lonely
Street, they don't own me
But they're making me stone, yeah
Love Engineer lyrics - aslyn
I can't tell if it's raining outside
Or if that sound's the air conditioning turned way up on high
It's raining in my heart and that, I know
Cause I'm not with you
I can't see the colors through the black and white
I can't tell where my thoughts begin, these days, they all collide
Now, I can think too much and that, I know
Cause I'm not with you
My body hasn't slept that much in four long days
Is it everything you are? Am I too far away?
I'm alive but I'm dying inside
Watching time, like my tears, run me dry
If there's a love engineer
I could use a little steering tonight
I can't point the moon out for the stars
But I can put my finger in this hole in my heart
I can't tell you all the things that I want to
Cause I'm not with you
And my body hasn't slept that much in four long days
Is it everything you are? Am I too far away?
Cause I'm alive but I'm dying inside
Watching time, like my tears, run me dry
If there's a love engineer
I could use a little steering tonight
When I'm watching lovers, I try to laugh while I'm crying
I can't tell my mother that I've lost so much pride trying
She'd say if I don't know myself without you
I'm better off without you
And but my body hasn't slept that much in four long days
Is it everything you are? Am I too far away?
Cause I'm alive but I'm dying inside
Watching time, like my tears, run me dry
If there's a love engineer
I could use a little steering tonight
Or if that sound's the air conditioning turned way up on high
It's raining in my heart and that, I know
Cause I'm not with you
I can't see the colors through the black and white
I can't tell where my thoughts begin, these days, they all collide
Now, I can think too much and that, I know
Cause I'm not with you
My body hasn't slept that much in four long days
Is it everything you are? Am I too far away?
I'm alive but I'm dying inside
Watching time, like my tears, run me dry
If there's a love engineer
I could use a little steering tonight
I can't point the moon out for the stars
But I can put my finger in this hole in my heart
I can't tell you all the things that I want to
Cause I'm not with you
And my body hasn't slept that much in four long days
Is it everything you are? Am I too far away?
Cause I'm alive but I'm dying inside
Watching time, like my tears, run me dry
If there's a love engineer
I could use a little steering tonight
When I'm watching lovers, I try to laugh while I'm crying
I can't tell my mother that I've lost so much pride trying
She'd say if I don't know myself without you
I'm better off without you
And but my body hasn't slept that much in four long days
Is it everything you are? Am I too far away?
Cause I'm alive but I'm dying inside
Watching time, like my tears, run me dry
If there's a love engineer
I could use a little steering tonight
Promise lyrics - aslyn
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Cause I don't wanna be
The border to your world
The one holding you back
From all that you dreamed of
Cause I don't wanna know
When all is down the road
You wonder what went wrong
When you were younger
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
And don't let nothing be
Handcuffing your mind
And making you believe
Your road is dead-ending
Don't cover up your eyes
Stand up when you're pushed down
And never turn around
When words turn to mocking
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
I know you know yourself
Put your doubt to bed
Don't compromise the cred
For your happy ending
Cause this fight is your own
And your blue and blackened toes
Will be the evidence
Of your weighted landing
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Cause I don't wanna be
The border to your world
The one holding you back
From all that you dreamed of
Cause I don't wanna know
When all is down the road
You wonder what went wrong
When you were younger
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
And don't let nothing be
Handcuffing your mind
And making you believe
Your road is dead-ending
Don't cover up your eyes
Stand up when you're pushed down
And never turn around
When words turn to mocking
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
I know you know yourself
Put your doubt to bed
Don't compromise the cred
For your happy ending
Cause this fight is your own
And your blue and blackened toes
Will be the evidence
Of your weighted landing
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Bettertown lyrics - aslyn (with Jeremy Mitchell)
I, I don't wanna break
I don't wanna take on the world
Cause the world isn't all that great
And I don't wanna care
I don't wanna care about your clothes
And your house and your diamond rings
So take me away
I, I don't wanna steam
Sometimes I wanna breathe
Cause the newspeople say that it's killing me
And I don't wanna bend
So I don't wanna know about the ghosts
And the dreams and the aliens
So take me away
I believe somewhere, somehow, we can work it out
If we'll turn this drifted battleship around
Then we'll free-float on steamboats, under purple clouds
With enough fuel to get back to Bettertown
I, I don't wanna see
I don't wanna see it
You friends and your skin and your family tree
And I don't wanna lose
So, I don't wanna choose
From the he-said and she-did and didn't-do
So take me away
I believe somewhere, somehow, we can work it out
If we'll turn this drifted battleship around
Then we'll free-float on steamboats, under purple clouds
With enough fuel to get back to Bettertown
And we'll be on our way
And it'll all be great
When we never question, never live like
People never change
I believe somewhere, somehow, we can work it out
If we'll turn this drifted battleship around
Then we'll free-float on steamboats, under purple clouds
With enough fuel to get back to Bettertown
We can work it out
If we'll turn this drifted battleship around
Then we'll free-float on steamboats, under purple clouds
With enough fuel to get back to Bettertown
I don't wanna take on the world
Cause the world isn't all that great
And I don't wanna care
I don't wanna care about your clothes
And your house and your diamond rings
So take me away
I, I don't wanna steam
Sometimes I wanna breathe
Cause the newspeople say that it's killing me
And I don't wanna bend
So I don't wanna know about the ghosts
And the dreams and the aliens
So take me away
I believe somewhere, somehow, we can work it out
If we'll turn this drifted battleship around
Then we'll free-float on steamboats, under purple clouds
With enough fuel to get back to Bettertown
I, I don't wanna see
I don't wanna see it
You friends and your skin and your family tree
And I don't wanna lose
So, I don't wanna choose
From the he-said and she-did and didn't-do
So take me away
I believe somewhere, somehow, we can work it out
If we'll turn this drifted battleship around
Then we'll free-float on steamboats, under purple clouds
With enough fuel to get back to Bettertown
And we'll be on our way
And it'll all be great
When we never question, never live like
People never change
I believe somewhere, somehow, we can work it out
If we'll turn this drifted battleship around
Then we'll free-float on steamboats, under purple clouds
With enough fuel to get back to Bettertown
We can work it out
If we'll turn this drifted battleship around
Then we'll free-float on steamboats, under purple clouds
With enough fuel to get back to Bettertown
