The Bad Guy 03:53
You can make her happy She can make you dinner You can be on her team And always be a winner But you can’t stop her from crying When you look at me that way But, She doesn’t have to be the bad guy to cry And you don't have to be the bad guy to make her Time is slipping, and we’re all wrong, we’re all right No one has to be the bad guy No one has to be the bad guy You never say her name When you talk to me Sometimes you shake my hand Like strangers on the street But you can’t stop me from crying When you look at me that way But, I don’t have to be the bad guy to cry And you don't have to be the bad guy to make me Time is slipping, and we’re all wrong, we’re all right No one has to be the bad guy (no one has to be the) And you don’t have to leave your house in disguise You don’t have to live like everyone’s watching you Time is healing, we’re gonna be alright No one has to be the bad guy No one has to be the bad guy No one has to be the bad guy Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy No one has to be the bad guy Bad guy, bad guy (bad guy) (bad guy) Bad guy (bad guy) Bad guy (bad guy) Bad guy No one has to be the bad guy Bad guy, bad guy

Becky 04:31
Underneath our pacing feet is a carpet That we picked out together in the fall Mmm soft to the touch, it didn’t cost much Just a ticket to the movies And we took it home and rolled it out And laid there til the dawn Underneath our tired house is a slab of stone Mmm as beautiful as marble we bought it on the telephone And anytime we’re bumpin’ and scratchin’ And kickin’ in the kitchen That old stone will hold us And stop the floor from caving in We’ve got so much Becky, can you hear me? We’ve got so much working for us We’ve got so much Becky, can you hear me? We’ve got so much working for us Underneath this singer is a child Terrified of letting someone in But you roughed her up and gave her love Like she’s never known before And now she’s playing like a child again Yeah we’ve got so much Becky, can you hear me? We’ve got so much working for us We’ve got so much Becky, can you hear me? We’ve got so much working for us (ooooooo ha ha) The garden that we planted just started growing And the berries and the flowers are barely showing And any time the fuss doesn’t feel worth it Just remember all the roots beneath the surface ‘Cause we’ve got so much Becky, can you hear me? We’ve got so much working for us So much! Can you hear me, yeah? We’ve got so much We’ve got so much We’ve got so much (yeah) We’ve got so much We’ve got so much (yeah) We’ve got so much We’ve got so much Working for us Becky

My brother’s an international man of mystery Nobody knows where he was between 18 and 23 Well somebody does, but it sure ain’t me Now he’s somewhere in northern California I couldn’t tell you his address I couldn’t get there if I wanted to He’s a selective recluse And I’m just the sister of the international man of Mystery, Mystery I heard a rumor he drove (he drove) 16 hours on an empty stomach and a bottle of wine And he only fell asleep twice Yeah, sometimes he likes to let the angels drive home for him And he moved to an island in the middle of the ocean Where he could paint self portraits out of fire And every evening he died with every sun that was set Fell madly in love with every woman he met Yeah, my brother’s an international man of mystery Nobody knows where he was between 18 and 23 Well somebody does, but it sure ain’t me Now he’s somewhere in northern California I couldn’t tell you his address I couldn’t get there if I wanted to He’s a selective recluse And I’m just the sister of the international man of... “Presenting: the international man of mystery” Ooo, mystery International mystery Ooo ahhh I’m just the sister of the international man of mystery Mystery Mystery Mystery

20,000 Moths 02:40
Somewhere up above, he’s holding a hand And somewhere below she’s dancing Two in 20,000 moths to a flame She fondly remembered and laughed as she cried Just the same as he did Two in 20,000 moths to a flame And “how strange,” they both thought as they sat in the shade of the song they used to hum like an omen hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm Two in 20,000 moths to a flame (humming interlude) (ooo interlude) And “how strange,” they both thought As they sat in the shade of a song they used to hum like an omen hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm Two in 20,000 moths to a flame

She’s got a fever And she’s burning your shit down The second you leave her Yeah she’s got a fever And she ain’t afraid to light you up If you can’t please her And I’m terrified, I’m a pile of leaves Another California fire isn’t what we need No, no Yeah I got a fever And I laid in bed all day trying not to need her Yeah I got a fever But I’m trying to choke it out Like a mighty cedar ‘Cause I’m terrified, I’m a golden grass Another california fire isn’t what I asked for What I asked for But when I close my eyes, I’m a gust of wind Another California fire is a rolling in Yeah when I close my eyes, I’m a gust of wind Another California fire is a rolling in Is a rolling in I’m a rolling in

Righter 03:56
You know that I hate to fight I hate that tone in our voices And I hate that love sometimes hurts That we can’t take back our choices And it makes me wanna run And go back to my old freedom But then you touch me And I know my searching is over And I can see us growing older Like two vines along a boulder And I know we’ll lose our ground sometimes So I’ll just hold a little tighter ‘Cause darlin’ this ain’t good, it’s great And this ain’t right, it’s righter Mmhmm Some days I’m quiet, some I’m unfair, Some I’m scared I’m like my mother And I feel my hips growing wide I’m not a child any longer And it makes me wanna run And go back to my old freedom But then you touch me And I know my searching is over And I can see us growing older Like two vines along a boulder And I know we’ll lose our ground sometimes So I’ll just hold a little tighter ‘Cause this ain’t good, it’s great And this ain’t right, it’s righter This ain’t an easy thing to figure out alone Two minds, two hearts, too much that could go wrong Some people quit before they ever feel the sun But I don’t wanna go out like that No I don’t wanna go out like that So darling touch me Touch me Don’t know you know our searching’s over

Open Hands 04:26
Sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night Gasping and grasping for me I say “baby, are you alright?” “I’m right here, you’re only dreaming” If I hug you two or three times It’s because I’m afraid you’re gonna die And if this is the last time I’m gonna hold you Then I’m gonna hold you tight ‘Cause we’re not guaranteed And we can’t promise to be here forever No, nobody can We’ve gotta love each other with open hands Heaven is not a comfort to me I don’t find peace in eternity It’s hard to explain it But I just want today if If tomorrow swears it’s on its way But we’re not guaranteed And we can’t promise to be here forever No, nobody can We gotta love each other with open hands Ooo ooo Gotta love each other We gotta love each other open hands Gotta love each other with open hands Gotta love each other with open hands Gotta love each other with open hands Gotta love each other with open hands Gotta love each other with open hands Ooo with open hands With open hands With open hands Gotta love each other with open hands Gotta love each other with open hands

If I blame it on you I’ll let you sleep through the morning I’ll let you off with a warning If I blame it on you If I blame it on you I’ll still love you tomorrow I’ll give my light to borrow If I blame it on you If I blame it on you Then there will be no one above me It will be clear why you love me If I blame it on you If I blame it on you Then I’ll stick by you for certain Promise to carry your burdens Hold you when you’re hurting Let me be the hero of your heart Let me be the hero of your heart Let me be the hero of your heart Let me be the hero of your heart Of your heart Let me be the hero of your heart Let me be the hero of your heart Let me be the hero of your heart Of your heart
