Guard Down

How do you do it
Throw away our love so casually
How do you ruin
What took time to build so quickly
Oh do you realize
What you've done
Wish I'd opened up my eyes
To the danger in your love
Before I let my guard down
Before I let my guard down
I was doing just fine
On my own
Well you stepped inside
Wrong place wrong time
To let my guard down
How is it going
Since replacing me so permanently
Is she all you ever wanted
Clearly something I will never be
I've seen people do it
Stand up, brush it off, and try to love again
I don't know about me
But good for them, good for them
Oh I let my guard down
Oh I let my guard down
I was doing just fine
On my own
Well you stepped inside
Wrong place wrong time
To let my guard down
Oh please believe
I'm trying not to think about you
I know that I should move on
You should know I'm trying to
Move away adopt a rescue
Drive into the mountains
Til I finally forget about you
I let my guard down
Oh I let my guard down
Oh I let my guard down
I was doing just fine
On my own
Well you stepped inside
Wrong place wrong time
To let my guard down
I was doing just fine
On my own
Well you stepped inside
Wrong place wrong time
To let my guard down

Shrapnel

Some love is a splinter
Falls off on its own
If you’re lucky to notice it was
Ever there at all
Some love is a stab wound
You hope to come out clean
Some scar over quickly
Others fall apart at the seams
But some love will wreck ya
Fragile as a bomb
Yeah once the pin’s pulled
The damage lingers on like
Shrapnel
Stuck under my skin
Fighting a battle that you
Were always gonna win
Left me with the pieces
And expect me to make peace with
Shrapnel
Some love is like poison
Lays you out for awhile
When it’s out of your system
You’re just glad that you survived
Some love is like fire
Get too close to the spark
Then after it burns out
You’re left there in the dark
Some love will change ya
Some love can heal
I’m trying to get there
But all that I can feel is
Shrapnel
Stuck under my skin
Fighting a battle that you
Were always gonna win
Left me with the pieces
And expect me to make peace with
Shrapnel
Thought our love was an ocean
As deep as it was wide
Oh I was caught off guard
To find the water dried
You left me alone there
West of the shore line
I can almost see the ghost of me
On the other side
Shrapnel
Stuck under my skin
Fighting a battle that you
Were always gonna win
Left me with the pieces
And expect me to make peace with
Shrapnel

Lake Louise

Lake Louise is lonely as the water there is blue
Overwhelming beauty but my mind is stuck on you
Ohh
I wonder what is going through the minds of passers by
Perhaps if I was with someone I'd have a better time
Ohh
The rockies are friendly in light of the sky
They turn somewhat vicious when day becomes night
Not so unlike love between you and I
Oh, a night and day difference that's hard to describe
A night and day difference that's hard to describe
Lake Louise is lonely as the thoughts inside my head
I should be out there dreaming but I'm missing you instead
Ohh
I wonder how you're doing, on the parkway headed south
I was so distracted that my tank almost ran out
Ohh
I coasted to the station, all my fear was rushing through
Oh had I had any service, I probly would've called you
Replaying every word said in the parking lot last June
Oh a night and day difference with you
Lake Louise is lonely as the winter air is cold
It's warmer where you are but I'm more comfortable in snow
Ohh
The rockies are friendly in light of the sky
They turn somewhat vicious when day becomes night
Not so unlike love between you and I
Oh a night and day difference that's hard to describe
A night and day difference
A night and day difference that's hard to describe

One Before The One

Heard from a friend You’re settling down
Back in the midwest Outside of your hometown
Been a few years
Why does this hurt like hell It’s throwing me off Thinking how hard we fell
We had a good run but
I’m just the one before the one We had our plans laid out
Oh but our timing didn’t come You stepped out of the sea
I’m floating in the ocean
We had a good run but
I’m just the one before the one.
In a parallel life
Maybe you and I
Woulda worked out
But it’s a mute point, right? That it could’ve been us by now
And I don’t mean
To come right out of far left field So I’ll type out this draft
Send it to trash and
Forget the way I feel
We had a good run but
I’m just the one before the one We had our plans laid out
Oh but our timing didn’t come You stepped out of the sea
I’m floating in the ocean
We had a good run but
I’m just the one before the one.
If I could I’d say I’m thankful
that we gave it our best try
If I could I’d say I’m grateful
You were part of my life for a time.
If I could I’d be more honest
If I could I’d be more kind
But I wish for you all the happiness That you brought to my life
We had a good run but
I’m just the one before the one We had our plans laid out
Oh but our timing didn’t come You stepped out of the sea
I’m floating in the ocean
We had a good run
We had a good run
We had a good run but
I’m just the one before the one We had our plans laid out
Oh but our timing didn’t come You stepped out of the sea
I’m floating in the ocean
We had a good run but
I’m just the one before the one.

What I like to call "validating." They put great lyrics to greater music that makes you bounce or dance or scream along to the thoughts you thought no one else had. One of my top 10 bands of all time.
