The fighting’s over But I'm not really sure I believe what you said My memory’s older But I'm tryna recall if there was somethin' I did Your silence is killing me softly These memories are killing me whole I don't think I'll take no more You don't need to hide it I ain't gonna fight it This fight is over But I can’t just ignore all the things that I seen This love is too hard With all this smoke, whatchu hiding from me I’m scared what you’ll say, so just tell me the truth To clear up the air between me and you And I don't think I can take no more You don’t need to hide it I ain’t gonna fight it Charlatan days There's no love, no time, no patience for your Charlatan games It's too hard to start to undo these Charlatan ways I won't take no more, and I'm done with all these Charlatan days Charlatan days The fight is over But I’m not really sure how you think this will go Do you really love me? Do you think what I've done is just fake or for show? I've hidden some lies, you're hiding the truth I’m all on my own, if you’d care then you knew I don't think I can take no more You don't need to hide it I ain't gonna fight it This fight is over But it’s not because I don’t disagree This love is too hard To keep up with all of this misery It’s easier now, now that you've seen This obvious break between you and me There's nowhere to go No fix for this, so I don't need to hide it You ain't gonna fight it Charlatan days No love, no time, no patience for your Charlatan games It's too hard to start to undo these Charlatan ways I won't take more, and I'm done with all these Charlatan days Charlatan days Charlatan days No love, no time, no patience for your Charlatan games It's too hard to start to undo these Charlatan ways I won't take more, and I'm done with all these Charlatan days Charlatan days Charlatan days No love, no time, for Charlatan games It's too hard to start Charlatan ways I won't take more, and I'm done with all these Charlatan days Charlatan days

Sweet Honey 04:00
I never quite caught your name I only got your feel A little bit warmer than most A little bit too surreal Floatin' around in space Head in the clouds So out of place So outer space And I like it I like this feeling goin' I like this rhythm flowin' I'd like this high to keep rollin' I got too much sanity Too much control of me I'm craving it I know what it is I know what I need I need a taste of your sweet honey I need a taste of your sweet honey A little bit sweeter now A taste of liquid gold This unsuspected love It’s not what I was told Didn't expect That it'd be me Now addicted Now I see And I like it I like this feeling goin' I like this rhythm flowin' I'd like this high to keep rollin' I got too much sanity Too much control of me I'm craving it I know what it is I know what I need I need a taste of your sweet honey I need a taste of your sweet honey Lemme lose control Just gimme one more dose Spend summer on the floor Get up in fall Been needin' bad advice Been lonely, miss your eyes You hittin' one or twice? To many good times Lemme lose control Just gimme one more dose Spend summer on the floor Get up in fall Been needin' bad advice Been lonely, miss your eyes You hittin' one or twice? To many good times Lemme lose control Just gimme one more dose Spend summer on the floor Get up in fall Been needin' bad advice Been lonely, miss your eyes You hittin' one or twice? To many good times Your sweet honey Oh, you are sweet honey

How could you tell? How could you guess from this? How could you see? How could you find me? How could you tell? How? Did you hear my steps? How could you tell? How could you tell? Run away back home Run away back home How will you go? Where will you go from this? How could you fade right out from all of us? Did you tell? Did you tell your friends? How could you tell? How could you tell? Run away back home Run away back home Just run away home Just run away home Just run away home Just run away home Just run away home Just run away Just run away home Just run away home Just run away home Just run away home Just run away home Just run away home Just run away back home Just run away back home

Highwire 03:42
You’re right here, but you don't try You loosen your hips, but not your mind Taking a count of what you can see Taking an account of just you and me You keep to yourself, a little bit quiet Similar thoughts, but a different mindset You talk about what's wrong with you But you're alright with me All this talking just Complicating things There's no reason to Complicate with you Honest eyes are so Hard to turn away It’s all right girl Get loose and lose yourself Let everything drop A house arrest for an honest fire An honest judge for a dishonest trial Defiling all your common sense Your honest house behind its fence What you're not told is what you need I see right through your honesty I can help you to heal, to understand Just what you fear I'll help you mend You won't care just what Consequence it brings Consequentially my Common tendency Common courtesy Can't convey what you want Get loose and lose yourself Let everything drop Aren’t you so fucking tired of remaining this way? Maintaining this measure of thoughts that you keep locked away? You won't care just what Consequence it brings Consequentially my Common tendency Common courtesy Can't convey what you want Get loose and lose yourself Let everything Common courtesy Can't convey what you want Get loose and lose yourself Get loose and lose yourself Get loose and lose yourself Let everything drop

How could you not be tired? We've been up all night You're keepin me upright, and you still got so much life I lost track of time when the sun went down But your energy keeps goin' strong Your will is undeniably perseverance personified How could I not be tired? We've been up all night Being with you, I would do this every time I lost track of time when the sun went down But your energy keeps going strong Your fire’s undeniably fired me up tonight We've been up all night tryin' to explain How we make this work, how we keep us sane We’ll be up all night 'till we lose our minds We’ll keep each other going tonight We’re fired up all right How is it that when I’m with you I know everything’s alright We’ve gotta wake up early, but it’s easy when I'm by your side When I'm missing sleep, I'm not missing you It can only mean I cannot ever sleep a minute again I lost track of time when the sun went down But your energy it goes on, and on, and on We've been up all night trying to explain How we make this work, how we keep us sane We’ll be up all night 'till we lose our minds We’ll keep each other going tonight We’re fired up all right We’ll keep each other going tonight We’ll keep each other going tonight We’ll keep each other going tonight We’re fired up all right We’ll keep this fire goin' Through the night until the mornin' Can’t stop us, can’t control this We're gonna be up all night I'll make sure that you’re alright We're groovin' now, there's nothin' to it Just concentrate, we'll push on through this We're teamin' up, no one can stop us We’re gonna be up all night Pushing each other until first light Finally our passions burning I cannot sleep, I’d keep on turning You keepin me up, I’m so inspired Ridin' this wave, let’s take it higher How could you not be tired? We've been up all night How can we make this work, and not lose our minds? We've been up all night trying to explain How we make this work, how we keep us sane We’ll be up all night 'till we lose our minds We’ll keep each other going We’ll keep each other going We’ll keep each other going tonight We’re fired up all right

You can say we're done, but I got your attention You can say we're through, but it’s clear I'm getting through to you You can say you'll leave, but I've got your affection Can you say you love me, I just want attention Pay attention to me Pay attention to me Pay attention to me Pay attention to me You can tell me off, I just want your attention You can tear me down But there's no need for that, sorry aftermath Apologies for that thing you said that you Said you meant, that you don’t You can kick out You can kick me down You can throw me out the door Let’s get that off your chest So then you’ll cool your jets You'll be back for more Pay attention to me Pay attention to me Pay attention to me Pay attention to me Pay attention to me

Getaway 03:56
We’re holed up here to stay in the race Holdin' it together just to stay in place But with all of this stress We need a getaway Let’s make a getaway Out on a ride, out of our minds We're just about out of time We keep on doing the same things twice We're stumbling around, with the idea that we can keep on Goin' and goin' and not think about fallin' down We’re holed up here to stay in the race Holdin' it together just to stay in place But with all of this stress, we need a getaway Let’s make a getaway All of this stress We need a getaway We're trying our best But we need a getaway Let’s make get away Put on them beach-vision goggles Low tide at the tide pool High times at the grotto Take a dive, take a bottle Put the goggles down, yeah Caught in a bind Caught in a hole Caught by the view Stopped by the new tunnel vision Can't see what comes Fold up, we’re gone, we'll do another day Don’t worry about this little road bump Don’t worry about this here one, cuz Don’t worry about it, she won’t care My arms are scarred from all this mess I won't let go till you let go Simmer down forget about it Ok ok ok Out in the wild, out of our style We’re just about out of time We never looked quite far enough Leaving our cage, our meaningless stage Taking in the open air Open up your borders and your broken heart Open up your mind to see the broken parts But with all of this stress We need a getaway Let’s make a getaway Far Far away So far away So far away Away, away, away, away So far Far away So far away So far away Away, away, away, away All of this stress We need a getaway Trying our best But we need a getaway Let’s make get away
