Umbrella 03:43
I don't know what’s come over me But if you won’t ask me to stay People running round crazy these days Like the world’s getting ready to wash away And if you don’t like the rain And if you can’t remember who stars in your pain Umbrella I’ll be the one who sees you home I don’t mind all the talking around All this trouble may never come down You and me been round this track a few times Two dogs running in circles with tongues hanging out And if you don’t win your race And if you can’t forget all those animals ways Umbrella I’ll be the one who sees you home If I can’t guess the reasons If you don’t see the light And if you keep talking about leaving And I can’t do anything right I won’t even try I don’t mind all the talking around All this trouble may never come down It seems like years since the craziness stopped And I still can’t seem to turn it all off And if you don’t like to wait I’ll find us a place where the sun shines all day Umbrella I’ll be the one who sees you home Umbrella I’ll be the one who sees you home

Avalanche 03:25
Put on that goddamn song The one that makes me cry The one that brings me low The one that gets me high There’s a place where I go Words fall down like neon stars No more planes up in the sky Gentle hugs and sassy scars There is no tension There is no right or wrong Either the rats do as I say Or they will wish they were never born Keep the kids indoors Time for dancing in the street It’s gonna hurt me more than you For me to knock you off your feet And it comes down quick Like an avalanche at night Doesn’t hurt me now I don’t want to see the light You say it’s cold I don’t want to fight Put on that goddamn song The one that struck me blind The one that stops and starts The one that saved my life And it hurts me now Like an avalanche at night And it hurts me now I don’t want to see the light

Careful 04:35
My mom is a hoot She never opens up her mouth except to shoot My mom is a hoot My dad is a blast Never leaves the house except to get gas Had him a girl once, she kicked his ass My dad is a blast My mom is a stone Reach out to give a warm embrace and shatter the bone My mom is a stone My dad’s an old poop Got a head as hard as petrified wood And lord knows I wouldn’t change him if I could And he says finish what you start Careful what you ask Nothing good or bad ever lasts And I’ll keep a hold of that side of him Everyone here knows what I mean And I can’t stay mad at the sight of her Broken down on the I-17 My mom never cries But the tears pour down to split the sky My mom never cries My dad cries all night I never hear the sound, it’s empty and wide And it’s the loudest sound in my life And he says finish what you start Careful what you ask Nothing good or bad ever lasts Nothing good or bad ever lasts
