Lake Fontana 03:18
If you make the filling, I’ll make the crust Ashes to ashes and dust to dust I want to be a friend that you can trust The summer’s almost over, we’re losing trust I’ll take you to Lake Fontana I think we should go where it’s not so loud We can walk past the spot that I once wiped out It’s sure that we’ll find ourselves skin to skin YOUR MOM will say she missed me and I’m looking too thin I’ll take you to Lake Fontana The story’s not hard and its not so long We learn when we’re kids what’s right and what’s wrong My sister knew it all along You can choke on those words, but they’ll never be song I’ll take you to Lake Fontana Farewell to New England and the bed we once made I hope Julie knows it’ll all be okay Farewell to the apple, farewell to the blade This time I’ll be more than a phone call away

I want to do right by you Get caught red handed Telling the truth I’ll find myself at Cardinal Creek Where that nameless woman Will put her hand on my cheek Sixteen, I stole the lipstick that I knew I could just buy My father wouldn’t look me in the eye Twenty one, I loved too many people at the same damn time For what its worth, Matthew I wish I loved you right I’ll try and stop my forgery At twenty three, I’m finally learning what that means I think you’ve got me all wrong I’d be lying if I said my French was coming along When I dream I speak in tongues Sixteen, I stole the lipstick that I knew I could just buy My father wouldn’t look me in the eye Twenty one, I loved too many people at the same damn time For what its worth, Matthew I wish I loved you right

Ugly Horses 02:39
I can’t hold a candlestick to your goddamn relationship, thats true I can give you almost everything if I want to stay tongue tied and blue And there’s truth to that To almost everything I wish I could offer you stability And hold it on a plate Like a gift for those who are charitable Or those who have unwavering faith And there’s truth to that To almost everything I’ll pace back and forth the floorboards Thinking of that time We laughed ourselves silly drinking whisky gingers with lime And there’s truth to that To almost everything Maybe I’m wrong or maybe I’m cursed I bet on ugly horses with a dollar in my purse
