Sick Again
04:12
|

|
I broke the law and now I need it
I know they’ll catch me in the end
If I’m as sick as my secrets
Then, babe, I’m sick again
If it wasn’t for the seasons
Don’t think I’d know now where I stand
Just half remember half the reasons
For why I am the way I am
Why I get nervous at night and it’s so hard to find a friend
Thinking about running sometimes and I can feel my back just bend
It’s all rain clouds on the lake
And, my god, they’re coming in
What you don't know somedays you find out
And I just hope I don’t drown in it
I hear sirens most nights and, yes, I’d like to turn them down
As they take off in a line, those fire engines shake my house
I broke the law and now I need it
I know they’ll catch me in the end
If I’m as sick as my secrets
Then, babe, I’m sick again

Can You Hear it Now?
03:10
|

If there’s no gold in this hill
Then there’s no gold to be found
What you can’t hear when the wind is still
Can you hear it now?
Left some cities in the morning
But I’ve left many more at night
Left a couple without warning
Miss a couple all the time
Have I ever told you about that train that cried?
Cut a path back to the mountain
For whatever’s there to find
And I’m not leaving ‘til I’ve found it
Then I’m not leaving ‘til I die
Have I ever told you about the train that cried?
If there’s no gold in this hill
Then there’s no gold to be found
What you can’t hear when the wind is still
Can you hear it now?

Texas on a Bus
03:30
|
|||
|
I’ve been to Texas on a bus
Have you heard that one before?
Well, what could it hurt to kick up some dust?
It’s been a long time, I’ll be keeping short
Who’s got time for the details anymore?
I sold some CDs, dropped out of the band
I broke my first lease, Matt D. broke his hand
I told a few friends I’d be back in a while
Then spent my last dime at the ticket stand
Alive and still shaking, exactly as planned
I saw the sunrise three times
And I got mugged in the rain
Slept easy over state lines
Where no one asked me my name
Where no one asked me my name
I’ve been to Texas on a bus
And I haven’t thought since to go back
I didn’t stay long, but I stayed long enough
Singing “Be Here to Love Me” to a love that won’t last
Singing a song for the long night slipping past

Always Been That Wave
02:39
|
|||
|
Wild that a whistle is the saddest song I know
Think you can take it with you when you go?
Strange, in the summer, could swear that I was new
And be gone when it’s over, what’s the summer feel like to you?
Say, the waves come in waves
And it’s always been that wave
I’m slow to remember, not too quick to forget
When it feels like it’s over, it’s not over yet
Say, the waves come in waves
And it’s always been that wave
Say, the waves come in waves
And it’s always been that wave
Say, the waves come in waves
And it’s always been that wave

Two for the Road
03:49
|
|||
|
You can hear the highway from my house
And it runs like you know it to
I say I never sleep, but sometimes
I’m not sure that’s true
The truth is I can’t remember
Which exit I got off
See, I’ve been here for such a long time
And by the look in your eye, I’m looking lost
My whole damn family’s in this county
I don’t know how, but here we are
And work ‘round here is slow, but steady
And I can kinda get by without my own car
Here I can find your heartbeat in the white noise
One says we stay, two says we go
Then something in me says that it doesn’t matter
It’s one for the running and two for the road
You can hear the highway from my house
And it runs like you know it to
I say I never sleep, but sometimes
Both of us know that just isn’t true

Still Storming
04:14
|
|||
|
I’m coming down every morning
I see that now and, yes, it’s boring
Felt this once and white-knuckled the warning
Then lightened up, still storming
I lost my time, I left the highways
For roads that wind through me sideways
Found my knees asleep in the driveway
Come visit me someday
I’d settle up, but my tab here is haunted
What’s enough?
Answer honest

More Buses & Trains
03:22
|
|||
|
Ain’t eaten since breakfast, maybe yesterday
And I don’t think that I will again
They’re coming to get me and I know what they’ll say
You ain’t living, the way things have been
(He ain’t living, the way things have been)
My suitcase is packed up, I’m ready to go
I hope it’s more buses and trains
When I was younger I lived on those lines
And I’d sure like to ride them again
(Yeah, he'd sure like to ride them again)
The house is in order, no lock on the door
Come see me, I hope that you do
I’ve left you some letters, some bad and some better
And this time I’ll listen some too
(And this time he'll listen some too)

Black Dogs
03:42
|
|||
|
Packs of black dogs run all night
Dancing circles in the headlights
But I’m wide awake
And I’m on my way
It’s getting late
And I cannot stay
They tore down the house on Centre Street
And it wasn’t long ‘fore you got sick of me
Pointed me home, took to the road
When you knew damn well I had nowhere to go
But I won’t burn in your city’s heat
Face to the window, looking on the street
‘Cause, honey, I’m too sick to dream
Seems I can see it all tonight
Shadows growing in the coming light
I’ll be on my way
I know it’s getting late
You know I cannot stay
My friend awaits

Down in My Own Way
04:15
|

|
I’ve never been to California
Just heard about it in some songs
A friend of mine once went to George
Me, I’ve been right here all along
I know the old boys in this city
And which ones you can ignore
I broke my own heart right here on this street
Still don’t know what I did that for
It’s like I heard somebody say
You can’t change where you come from
So I sat down in my own way
And let the next whatever come
You can’t take a wrong turn if you ain’t turning
You can’t miss a scene you’ve never seen
If there’s still something here worth burning
I think it’s burning me
It’s like I heard somebody say
You can’t change where you come from
So I sat down in my own way
Said, “If it’s done, I guess it’s done”

Would
04:12
|

|
Would you know it, I’m dreaming
I’m not surprised to see you
We’re in the house that we sleep in
But all our other ones too
Would you whisper my name once
Dream-like and low?
So, I’ll know I’m not waking alone
Would you call me your lover?
I know, who uses that word?
And we know so many others
Would you call me your bird?
Would you stay here forever
Or what this space-time allows?
It will be nice to remember, but it’s nicest right now
Would you know it, I’m dreaming
I’m not surprised to see you
We’re in the house that we sleep in
And all our other ones too
We could stay here forever
Or what forever allows
This will be nice to remember, but it’s nicest right now

A Partner to Lean On
by Trace Mountains
supported by 4 fans who also own “More Buses & Trains”
A Partner to Lean On is easily one of my top three favorite albums of all time. I heard it for the first time about 5 months ago and have essentially had it on repeat ever since. I've been basically unable to listen to anything else in that time because nothing lives up to this.
