01. Warm Bourbon (Live)
oh the way in which she’d hold me - was velvet on my feelings - but to see her hold somebody else the way in which she would hold me - y’know... - touch the way in which she does - wears away at my feelings - oh the way in which she’d kiss me - warm bourbon on my feelings - but to see her lips pressed up against another’s - the way in which she'd kiss me - y’know... - tongue the way in which she does - weighs heavy on my feelings - (break) - oh the way in which she’d stare at me - makes me nervous - makes me helpless - but to see her look at him - the way in which she used to look at me - y’know... - miss the way in which she does - wreaks havoc on my feelings

02. Another One Of Those Days (Live)
i recognize the stranger in my life - to accept what is from what was is hard - i recognize the lonely in my heart - but only when i go there - which isn’t much she says - don’t be angry with me - it’s who i am - and love be damned a shape of bitterness suddenly forms her face - where did i go wrong - shay - as she dances away from the lamp - it looks like it’s gonna be another one of those days - another one of those days - i recognize the patterns in my life - to change them is to change me - i recognize the woman in my bed - kinda looks like the one in the picture - hung inside my head - she says you never tell me how you feel - how am i supposed to know guess - ah he smiled - that means he loves me - do you love me - chorus - when i miss myself have i become a ghost - haunting - can’t sleep - make it go away - please - go away - chorus - another one of those days

03. Chasing The Moon (Live)
in contrast to the white light, the devil has painted black on the back of my naked soul - now i find myself (3) on my own - chasing the moon (3) - in my silence are my screams - lift up over sounding - in my thoughts are all my dreams - i seldom hear a word - now i find myself (3) all alone - chorus - i find myself (3) on my own - chorus

04. Circled (Live)
i can remember, yet i don’t understand the high price you must pay for your circle - i’ve been circled - circled - i was giving it all before - now it’s taking all of me and choosing sides - let the games begin - chorus - i can remember like it was yesterday - lah-las... - i consider this freedom, yet everyday i can’t help but get away from this pain i’m feeling - chorus - chorus

05. Counting Backwards (Live)
floating in a world of pure fear and dangerous freedom - counting backwards - let the excitement enter you - on an erotic yet romantic wooden horse - i was screaming profanity at the elephants on parade - be as dangerous as you want (4) - if it’s way out of reach don’t hesitate - i’ll meet you halfway there - from where i stand there’s so much to be proud of - counting backwards - with a fist as my open hand - people i meet - faces i know - up to bat - first day - swing high - keep low - chorus (2)

06. Everytime (Live)
everytime i think nothing will happen - something always does - like when my baby and i split apart and say we’ll never get back together - somehow - shi-dah... we do (4) - every time - thank you - everytime i feel a change coming i close my eyes, visualize and pray to god that we make it through okay - behold - chorus - everytime i imagine a place where we can go and be without fear, hesitation or question - i run and hide - you seek - we find each other there - every time - thank you - it all seems to me to be so real...

07. Fade Out (Live)
fade out - about a year ago today - love slammed an already broken door - the echo sustains - it wasn't my day - it wasn't my fault - it wasn't my day - fade out - one thousand miles away from every thing and every one that ever made me stay - chorus - stop following me - chorus - it wasn't my fault - head back

08. Fallen (Live)
from the beginning i didn't want to go - tempted - all i had to say was no - but i didn't - i went with it and let it drag me down - i am i am (3) - fallen - carry me back - fallen - hands - look at my hands and knees - picking out the pebbles - deep are the holes they leave - deep - it's got me reaching out for something to grab - something to pull me up - use what i can - chorus - i am learning - skinny - human - i admit what i did was wrong - the devil outside said is your will strong enough to fight the consequences of thy behavior - dizzy my spirit - spin around - chorus - what have i done

09. Glitter (Live)
do you think i’m beautiful - do you like what you see - do i glitter - cuz i consider myself to be a red diamond - i mean wouldn’t you say we all want to be worth something in the eyes of those we find most valuable ourselves - chorus - sad lucy wears nine of me - repeat verse 1 - chorus - lah lu-lu-lu lah...

10. Sirens (Live)
sirens - yesterday - i couldn’t do anything but sit back and stare out my window

11. The Way You Say My Name (Live)
one more time - just say it one more time - why - it makes me feel so alive - i feel so alive - i feel so alive - there's something in the way you say my name (2) - that makes me feel good - that makes me feel light - that makes me feel good - so right - so light - sounds so sweet - little voice sounds so sweet - the wake me up alarm when i fall asleep - tonight - tonight i am gonna wait up for you - chorus - (yeah-yeahs) - chorus - i feel so alive - i feel so high

12. Too Much (Live)
running in circles - forever is round - stop when you’re ready - no sign of slowing down - you look so pretty - everlasting - evermore - what’s supposed to be, will - me adore - i have too much - i worry too much - i like you this much - following verses - are these your words - they take me to a different place - outer space - on saturns’ rings i roller skate around - non stop - don’t stop - serenade me again - me adore - i have too much - chorus - but i’m afraid that if i say too much too soon you’ll go - don’t go - chorus (2) - but i’m afraid that if i say - too much too soon you’ll go - don’t go - running in circles - forever is round

13. 47 (Live)
what is that sound - heavy raindrops - pounding down on wet cement - are you scared - no she said - just involved like footsteps - following other footsteps - splash - i love it - i need it - i want it more than usual - 47 - outside - what is that noise - pretty voices - calling out inside your head - are you there - yes she said - come on over - read to me - the words don’t mean a thing - whenever i say them out loud - chorus - what is that sound - a friendly breeze - blowing through the apple trees - appola hair - oh she said i knew you cared - like a sunflower - head raised - arms out wide - chorus

14. Worth (Live)
more than your own precious life? less sun sign more moon? more than all the gold combined? how much am i worth to you? more than your own happiness? more antique than new? more than san francisco? how much am i worth to you? - aye-yahh... more than forty-seven days? more ballet than shoe? more than that which sparkles? how much am i worth to you? more than a one-night stand? more orange than blue? more than pablo picasso? how much am i worth to you? - aye-yahh...
