STAINED GLASS FAME love is no joke, you also we’ve been given, some control yet we still stray from the fold and yes, we ought to know it’s not where goodness grows from the overflow, of the heart speaks the mouth, it’s who we are ‘cause loves the only one who can save us from his other name not the one of stained glass fame you didn’t think it possible for love to make a frown most think it’s probable for love to turn them down yes love gets angry but love gets sad love’s the dove and the flood love’s the sword love’s the sword love’s the sword love’s the sword love’s the sword

Easy Come 04:04
EASY COME you showed me your cards so early by saying yes to a question I hadn’t asked but should we have anything to hide? no I just want to be important in your eyes ‘cause everybody is a sucker for something someone’s underneath my skin pulling me back with them there it is that one thing I want my own personal little god I seem to lose control when I’m around you as if I ever had control it’s the greatest or the worst your blessing or your curse yeah everybody is a sucker for something someone’s underneath my skin pulling me back with them

Formulove 03:37
FORMULOVE oh, the ebb and flow,feelings come, feelings go girl you and I ought to know when the tide touches your feet when you are drowning in the deep it’s formulove, formulove, formulove, formulove let’s not make this something we’ll regret loosing good things over vows not said we’re together but we’re not one things loosely knit it will come undone I want you and I to last, slow down girl not so fast I want you and I to last, slow down girl not so fast yes the hand is strong but hearts are weak o the body wants what we ought not seek it’s formulove, formulove, formulove, formulove I want you and I to last, slow down girl not so fast I want you and I to last, slow down girl not so fast I want you and I to last, slow down girl not so fast I want you and I to last, slow down girl not so fast

ROUTINE MISTAKES despite routine mistakes I’m with you most of the way neither hot nor cold forgettable when both everything we need is supplied but negligence with us is implied the good times are not worth the trouble the we’ve got dying is a thing we do but living asks us to die for the truth you and I got choices beware your own head and its voices and we the young we are a fire and we're made to burn hot and higher but will we provide warmth and light or will we burn down everything in sight
6.
GIRLCAKE “ADULT PARTY CHORDS” we could be happy the smallest touch means so much and she just wants to be touched o it’s so hard not to eat her up yes I'd like you alone but love the thought of losing all control so I’m gonna wait I’ve got to stop making these kid mistakes you only know what you’ve seen so you know nothing about me top marks though for bravery I got your number in my sleep I’m wondering where you are at hoping it’s not just in my past is wanting you enough reason to take you? I don’t have a place for you girl just a day job and dreams to conquer the world I don’t have a place for you girl just a day job and dreams to conquer the world but the world cannot compare to just the way you let down your hair no the world it does not compare what it does to me just to know you're waiting there
7.
WHERE IS ALL THE STUFF where is all the stuff made up of words and ideas from dirt to flesh back to dust living breathing concepts that can love that means us we’re not just things no but human beings that entails much it’s getting smaller microscopic getting bigger monolithic fathers sons, mothers daughters all judgment’s debtors but found in love and not by luck no but by the same judgment’s other name well ask the potter wide and open seas beautiful and terrifying simple yet so involved created and not evolved who but God can grant the ape the time o the time to write half as well as you or i much less Shakespeare
8.
A HILL TO DIE ON theologically speaking it doesn’t always have to make sense but for our false clarity’s keeping let’s just pretend it makes sense what we’ve touched with our hands no it’s eternally unfolding the light distorts the shape of its source and to stand in light of our ignorance is to stand far above reproach yes to burn only for pleasure is to burn out yeah we want that flame and glory but the cost is far to gory you’ve got to know your motives when we die on our hill it could be eternally folding
9.
One Dream 04:04
ONE DREAM you’re a force for good in me I only want you permanently yes I’m a risk but we’ll see if I’m as scary as other things you’re a force for good in me you make me ask new questions like what can be done what can I become? in this place there’s so much to see and so much for you to do so it means everything to me to mean anything to you you wear it so well this life looks good on you you make it look so easy I’m surprised you even see me don’t walk away I couldn’t take what I put you through third times the charm and I always hoped that it’d be you any one dream could cost everything and I know you dream every night any one dream will cost all of me and I only seem to dream of you in this place there’s so much to see and so much for you do so it means everything to me to mean anything to you I won’t pretend I’m not caught up in just the thought of holding hands but even more in making you my girl can’t miss my chance to be your man

Best Part 05:13
BEST PART I hate the cold dark, I feel alone but here I sit in a broken way waiting for mother I’ve got to learn this lesson now I didn’t want to know how but I’ll be back next year cant let defeat keep me here we cannot change the world we can only change our minds we can think that it’s new but lies appeal to how we want to feel it’s nice to see someone stopping for me I’ve had some time alone in thought to take account of all I’ve got I’ll let the rust do its worst ‘cause in the end I can’t be hurt we cannot change the world we can only change our minds we can think that it’s new but lies appeal to how we want to feel am I even the best part of a bad thing pretending it was my idea to breath
11.
Two Masters 06:14
TWO MASTERS should we not be opposed in everything we do? so watch for the stumbling stones, they’re the only ones who truly love you and o to gain the world to be served never serving emptiness will find you there alone and we are the place, where wisdom comes to die so watch for the stumbling stones, they will never tell you a lie and o to be made low, so as not to fall, so as not to fall so far freedom, bondage, are only two names for exactly the same thing and to run from embrace, is only to run to another’s embrace freedom, bondage, are only two names for exactly the same thing and to run from embrace, is only to run to another’s embrace, embrace just because you’re in love, doesn’t mean love is in you and living for the moment, means giving the moment your life
12.
HOPE IS A HOLE IN THE SKY we’ve got places to be, things to do you and me we don’t know what we’ve seen we don’t know where we’re going to be when we grow up baptisms one of these, did it change you or me and if he waits in the water let me not waste another day, bury me now there’s a hole in the sky, there’s a hole in his side and in his last breath of life tore a hole in the sky we’ve got places to be, things to do you and me we don’t know what we’ve seen we don’t know where we’re going to be when we grow old there’s a hole in the sky, there’s a hole in his side and in his last breath of life tore a hole in the sky yes and can we miss that which was made to be lost down this hole, hole, down this hole in the sky
