Anything 03:56
I have fallen out of love so many times before It's getting harder to discern what really hurts Got mixed up messages and signals sent by semaphore And I have limited ideas for what might work Tried to fake it at a party with a friend of mine Stuck around until the first sign of the sun Walked her home and at the end I was left standing still And everybody says I should be having fun As if there's anything in this world That could get me over that girl My, it's gonna take some time to forget about you I am finally beginning to appreciate Your reaction to the reckless things I did Still, as foolish as it was I did not deviate I persisted til the end and that was it Now there's fire in your lungs and you have cried enough And I've been hauled over the coals, put on thin ice I've been tempted more than once to break the silence up But you could simply make an effort to be nice As if there's anything in this world That could get the ghost of that girl My, it's gonna take some time to forget about you

Never Know 05:40
The first day I met you You were singing as you went about your work I said "I want to sing along" But I just whistled because I was lost for words You danced around the back room And I watched you, though I felt that I should not For I should catch that overwhelming feeling And forever I'd be got Speak to me now Love me somehow or go on home Cause I can't stand to be around you If I cannot get you all alone Maybe we might Start up a fire, do something wrong But I can't bring myself to do it Oh, I guess we'll never know The last time I saw you I just had to fight the urge to hold you close I thought I saw it in your eyes That pained restraint, you kept yourself composed Well the way that you moved next to me Sent a mighty, violent wind into my heart It blew apart the wreckage That was stopping me from letting it restart Speak to me now Love me somehow or go on home Cause I can't stand to be around you If I cannot get you all alone Maybe we might Start up a fire, do something wrong But you don't have a mind to do it Oh, I guess we'll never know Half the time I'm guessing And the other half I've never been more sure But I've laid my heart out for you now And it's that it seems was awfully premature But really was I so far off Can I wait until forever now to know? Cause it seems that you and I In other matters have such long, long ways to go Yeah, and it's that little shred of hope In your rejection keeps me seeking your affection And yeah, if you'd just let up the rope And let me fall I'd be much better off But I guess we'll never know I guess we'll never know Feels like we'll never know Speak to me now Love me somehow or go on home Cause I can't stand to be around you If I cannot get you all alone Maybe we might Start up a fire, do something wrong But we just ain't prepared to do it Oh, I guess we'll never know We'll never know The last night I dreamt about you I lay in your arms and you in mine And so it all began again Forever then were you and I entwined

Younger 04:48
When I was a younger man I learned to play in oceans and We walked across the sunbaked sand With dirty hair and steady hands We bore excuses for our sins And swimming suits to help us swim Through stormy weather, heavy winds We waded and got sucked right in The summer sun was not enough To stop us falling out of love When I was a younger girl I hadn't seen much of the world We wasted hours, we wasted words We guessed at what we thought would work Wore heavy coats to stay inside And rubber boots to keep us dry And comely masks to hide behind The walls we built kept us confined The summer sun was not enough To stop us falling out of love I was too young You were the one I was too young
4.
Happiness 05:50
If a picture's worth a thousand words How come I haven't a one To articulate how mad I got Despite how far I've come? Seeing you embracing, arm in arm How could I fend But to make of you an enemy? Cause once you were my friend Happiness I will find Happiness and peace of mind If happiness don't mean nothing to you Then happiness lies with somebody new I've been trying to ignore you both But man, has it been rough Cause I'm a glutton for your punishment I cannot get enough If it was just a brief infatuation I'd be calm But it must be something more If I still feel the need to air my qualms Happiness I will find Happiness and peace of mind If happiness don't mean nothing to you Then happiness lies with somebody new Maybe I'm rambling on But I really do think there's something wrong Is it you or is it me? Well I wish that I could tell you but you wouldn't agree Maybe there's something I can't see I'd only just begun to get up From your last punch You offered me your hand And then you said "Let's stay in touch" If I was waiting for an even clearer message I've got it now But thank god I have a leg to stand on And I don't feel so bad somehow Happiness I will find Happiness and peace of mind If happiness don't mean nothing to you Then happiness lies with somebody new

Resolution 01:57
I wanna stop being so stupid I've had plenty of time to get my shit together So you can go ahead and play cupid But everybody knows that it won't be forever I wanna start something Without worrying how long it's gonna last Cause I used to be so present But nowadays I'm living in the past I'd like to open my mouth Without having rehearsed what comes out I wanna stop calling it a failure When something's run its course but didn't reach the finish Just because it didn't end up in your favor Doesn't mean that you should think that it was not a winner If you look at it that way You'll never have a moment of regret But if you continue in dismay You can be sure as hell that's what you're gonna get I'd like to feel cozy in The boundaries of my own skin And oh, I'd like to see you again

You act so brave But you're as quiet as a mouse As soon as you're asked to explain it You feign amazement When the truth comes out I guess you cannot be tasked with sustainment I was lucky Just to sit by your side On the couch in your three room apartment I could have kissed you And ruined that night But instead we sat there nestled in the dark I don't still want to Unless you want to I am afraid All of those days I spent pining away Were a terrible waste of my youth I think you know How much it damages me To see you fucking around with a friend of ours Cause your poor excuse That you weren't ready Turns into me against him, and I'm losing the war I have to say I think you're better than that I hope you get what you deserve, it's neither one of us What you need now Is a stronger man Who understands you and would not break your trust I don't still want to Unless you want to I am afraid All of those days I spent pining away Were a terrible waste of my youth I shouldn't think I'd like to see you again I'd be so cruel to blindly welcome in that heartache And yet I know That that's exactly what I am I am a fool designed to make the same mistakes I don't still want to Unless you want to I am afraid All of those days I spent pining away Were a terrible waste of my youth

Birdsong 05:22
Born in a nest up in a tree No mama bird was watching over me So when my hunger grew to great I hatched a plan to make my big escape I waited long atop my bough Until the wind would send me tumbling down I opened up and I took flight And I soared off into the unlit night And I know that I will find you I'm not sure what you will say to me I may have to fly behind you Could be the only way that we could ever be I can't forget how you'd unfold Your pinions brightly colored red and gold I had to shield my fledgling eyes Why'd nature make such an un-winnable prize? Well I know you're still in training You just wanna give your heart some wings But every time you start explaining Little bird, your words don't seem to mean a thing I'd like to sing for you my song A little something I've been working on It has a plain and simple tune I think you'll like it, god I hope you do

Apology 04:47
I've got no more time To be wasting on you There must be better ways to spend it Better things to do I keep busy all day Trying to forget For the most part I succeed Until I fall back into bed Where the memories slowly return And I wonder "Will it pass, will I ever learn?" I've had no luck so far Shifting my thoughts From the lies that you sold Which I so happily bought I've been going out at night So tired but I can't sleep I go running round the block But it comes chasing after me I've been telling everyone that I see All about all the details so casually Please don't say you're sorry I don't care anymore what we do about it I just wanna hear you say you're wrong Our friends take me out But none of them know what to say So they pretend we never were Isn't it easier that way? If only I could do the same But I replay every scene And for all my good intentions I remember everything It comes to me when I'm dreaming of you I know you wonder if I have been, well I often do Please don't say you're sorry I don't care anymore what we do about it The moment has come and gone I don't need to hear your Insincere, cavalier, fake apology I just wanna hear you say you're wrong
9.
Goodnight I hope I see you tomorrow Then again I guess it's all on me to call Right But with the sun comes my sorrow I'm acting like It's even up to me at all That night If I had lain in the moonlight Only for a moment more Then would I know Why You had to give me the quick knife Turning it a final time Before you go? I should have shut my mouth But I was hoping you would share in my pity I know you had a heart But I think that it was lost in this city Alright If it is wrong to remember Everything you've said and done Until today I Will have to suffer September Forgetting that you led me on And walked away I could have had your back But instead dear it was all you could show me And it isn't much to ask For you to turn and just pretend that you know me Love you Love you Do I love you? Love you Do I? I hope I see you tomorrow
10.
When I dream of you And I often do I wake with wide eyes Feeling new When the day is done And I lay my head I think of all of the fights and arguments That I could be having instead When I dream of you In the early hours And I wake with you next to me Or in my arms You are sound asleep But you kiss my neck And pull me closer and hold me tightly And tell me that you love me the best When I dream of you When I hide away Only you can find A way to get through to me And ease my mind When I cannot rest It is your embrace I pray I'm never the one to hurt you Cause all I want is for you just to stay When I dream of you I see you walk through the door And I want nothing more When I dream of you When I dream of you And I often do I wake with a full heart When the dream is through And though I used to doubt I would ever feel Such love and affection I cannot believe But I know I'm not dreaming, I know this is real And I still dream of you

about

"What Terriers does so well is take feelings that are universally felt at one time or another and turn them into music that you can listen to over and over. The songs are so well-crafted, even listening to them as instrumentals creates a strong emotional reaction. Self-doubt, fear of loss, jealousy, anger; they all come through in equal measure throughout I Don’t Still Want To Unless You Want To."
