Ever Since You Died

Ever since you died
I never liked the world alone
I close my eyes and I pretend
That they've buried me alive

Even though I took the train
Almost every single day
I never recognized a face
Getting on it
Every time I went up north
I'd try to bike along Lake Shore
But it always made me bored
If I'm being honest
Every time I played a show
Barely anyone would go
We got paid out from the door
If there was any
Once the whole band made ten bucks
At a place called Ronny's on California
And the PA kind of sucked
And so'd the whiskey
Say what you will
Say what you will
But my heart was never broken in Chicago
The towers will climb
The city, catch fire
The windows will shake
But my heart never breaks
All the trash in Streeterville
All the navies on the pier
Couldn't ever keep me here
In Chicago
All the hipster chicks in Wicker Park
All the pretty birds at the Skylark
Couldn't ever break my heart
In Chicago
No, my heart was never broken
No, my heart was never broken
No, my heart was never broken
In Chicago

I swear to God that I'll never fall in love again
I swear to God that I'll never fall in love again
It's always so easy to forget
I swear to God if I ever meet someone I'll run
I swear to God if I ever meet someone I'll run
It's always so easy
It's never that easy to run

You Gotta Love Her

I'd never I'd never do you wrong
In the morning
I always do my best to get along
In the evening
I'd never never do you harm
You got to love her
In the morning
In the evening
When you're sleeping
But a man such as I
Can't go 'round asking why
I gotta love her
When I go to bed
I never I never meant to hurt you
In the morning
I always get my just desserts
In the evening
And I tell myself when we're kicking up the dirt
You gotta love her
In the morning
In the evening
When you're sleeping
But a man such as I
Can't go 'round asking why
I gotta love her
When I go to bed
You got to love her
In the morning
In the evening
When you're sleeping
But a man such as I
Got no business asking why
I got to love her
When I go to bed

Au revoir, je préfère
A dire adieu est trop sévère
Au revoir, a demain
Mon amour, tu me manque
Au revoir, je préfère
A dire adieu est trop sévère

A Good Weatherman

Love, I'd never do this on my own
But I'd love to walk you home
What compels me, I don't know
But I love you so
If you wake up feeling lonely
I could be your one and only
I could love you just as long as it rains
Then the rain would last forever
Let my love tell you the weather
Above all I'm a good weatherman
And it rains and it pours oh my lord
I'd never do this on my own
But I've been feeling so alone
We could kiss in the middle of the road
And I won't let you go
Til I see you in the city
Beneath the bright lights, what a pity
I can't take you to the moon or Xanadu
But here I find you all the fairer
Though it's completely out of character
And I swore I'd never do this on my own
If you wake up hearing music
Love, I pray you won't confuse it
With the sound of the wind in your ear
If you wake up hearing raindrops
I bet you ten bucks that they won't stop
Above all I'm a good weatherman
Yes I am
Above all I'm a good weatherman

New Year's Eve
05:55

On New Year's Eve we both drank sparkling wine
We danced in the living room
The radio played Auld Lang Syne
Your hair hung so nicely
Your black dress fit tightly
I kissed you and knew everything was fine
We tried to sleep on the fourth of July
The neighbors had a barbecue
And kept us up all fucking night
But things still went smoothly
We took a bath and watched a movie
When morning came, we'd finally closed our eyes
In France the sun never set on time
By six we were hungry
But we always ate close to midnight
The moon kept us company
And I swear Marco said something
About Edith Piaf always being right
On New Year's Eve we both drank sparkling wine
We danced in the living room
The radio played Auld Lang Syne
