Mother of one and one incoming Bright as the morning Note as a warning says "you parked in the driveway" Kid's late to school and I'm late to work I work on the frontlines I don't have much time I fell in love in the winter Woke up in sweat crying murder and I run In a shiver Mother of one and one incoming Could you forgive me? This was the worst day of our lives // Kid's late to school I'm late to work Is this a joke? Mother of one and one incoming Bright as the morning Moving the car She stares me down Wearing a frown Mother of one and one incoming Could you forgive me? I fell in love in the winter Woke up in sweat crying murder and I run In a shiver Mother of one And one on the way I'm in the way Mother of one and one incoming Could you forgive me?

Back to the water From where you came From the pit of the ocean you once swam It takes a long time Fins turn to feet And remember the sand where you first walked

We Know 03:40
Indelible grass marks on the sole of a bare foot in the summer Eating ants off the orange tree, determining if mild, medium, or hotter Green turtleneck stifles the front lawn leaf pile photoshoot After learning what floods were, didn't wanna step one foot in the bathroom Could've been just a bit more of a troublemaker Not so much life or death Loving that kid all the same We know, we know (didn't know much then, though) We know, we know (twenty times more, now so) We know, we know (didn't know much then, though) We know, we know Just wanted a sister to sing her a silly song of toothbrush Sentimental about the karate but the sensei's a piece of (****) Made a fuss of the fireworks and decades later; hearing damage Always butchering words like castle, dinosaur, and butterfly Could've been just a bit more of a troublemaker Not so much life or death Loving that kid all the same We know, we know (didn't know much then, though) We know, we know (twenty times more, now so) We know, we know (didn't know much then, though) We know, we know

The Gift 02:42
Looking in places you shouldn't have Prickly fences and warning flags The beat of your heart in a quiet room The house is guarded by a shaded wood Always, always feeling down You're always feeling down Always, always feeling down Forgetting, letting down Setting the bar just a little high Leaving yourself with more to desire Giving a knock before you give. a try Leaving yourself another "wonder why" Always, always feeling down You're always feeling down Setting up for letting down Forgetting, letting down The gift is guaranteed Just when you least expect it
