This may be asking For much too much In mixed expressions And double dutch All I want is for you to see That I don't care if the sun is shining Please, believe me I could tell you I'm sorry But it wouldn't change a thing I'm all out of stories And I'm tired of lying All I want is for you to see That I don't care if the sun is shining Please, believe me I don't care if you can't see me Please After all I've done to you now Wouldn't blame you if you run And I don't care if the sun is shining Please, believe me

New York 03:22
New York Though I guess I knew you fine You’ve been running ‘round my mind For quite some time now Baby All those sleepless nights I had I had never felt so bad Until you called me New York City Won’t you pity me? For I am just a stranger Passing blindly through these streets Inshore I was waiting patiently But you never took the time To welcome me Maybe It was I who made this fault And the traffic halt That fell into the shoreline New York City Won’t you pity me? For I am just a stranger Passing blindly through these streets It’s getting a little too late To make up your mind You’ve either got to pick me up Or leave me behind New York I was once humbled by your greatness But now enlightened by the lateness In your answer Baby I have rid you for the better For Chicago or whoever I may find New York City Won’t you pity me? For I am just a stranger Passing blindly through these streets

I’m through thinking ‘bout my sad situation I’ve been worrying for far too long I’ve got nothing but high expectations I can’t stand it when you say I’m wrong So is this what we’re coming to? You play the angel and I’ll be your fool So what are you sorry for? You never meant to break my heart Did you expect my faith To shake so easily when you told me I was not the one? Got a handle on my mad desperation Paranoia to a certain degree No more sitting in a state of frustration I thought all my friends were lying to me And I don’t know if you were true But you sure as hell gave me plenty of proof So what are you sorry for? You only meant to break my fall Were you at all surprised When I realized that it was wrong And I was not the one? Solved my problem with a simple subtraction Put my worries and my fears to rest All I’m left with is a clean, simple fraction Not quite complete but I could pass the test Who am I then The fool you always knew? Passing time And I loved you, too

Fall in Love 04:47
Fall in love Every time I fall in love I miss the mark I fall for the wrong girl and end up in the dark Always fleeing far from my own bleeding heart So afraid to face the question 'will she stay, or leave to calm a hunger I can not allay?' Too sick to care or even dare to follow Just like a flower in the sun's rays I bend over backwards just to meet your gaze Not enough It's not enough to go on feeling only fine To be the punctuation on that bottom line To end it almost every time and still get hurt Still betrayed and still downhearted Oh, and how Knowing all the while I started all this doubt The sword in my own back and my own downfall Pick me up and treat me kindly Hold me close and love me blindly Just like a flower in the sun's rays I bend over backwards just to meet your gaze
5.
Can I get a clear idea Of just what you mean? 'Cause though you know the lines you can't see What's in between I know you got the lingo down But step back a bit You've either gotta come back around Or get up on it I'm sick of this lowdown belligerence Just a waste of my time All this push and pull just fuels my indifference Don't be a fool You belong to me Will you get a second chance Or counter bid? Only 'cause it took so long To keep your secrets hid Baby I'm a stranger Don't let me in Treat me like an enemy Not like a friend I'm tired of your shameless fallaciousness Just a show for yourself All this strain and toil to speed your deliverance Don't be a fool You belong to me
6.
Please! 03:43
I can hear you But I cannot see you I’m waiting for that ringing to rest I could hold you But I cannot love you Or take my old heart to task Oh, the days are passing me slowly I’m afraid of just being lonely Help me, please! And I know you But I should forget you If I feel you starting to fall But I could never Let that happen Not if ever I knew you at all Oh, the days are passing me slowly I’m afraid of just being lonely Help me, please! Oh, so you changed your mind too Well, I don’t know if I can blame you
7.
It was painless He made arrangements With his family back home He’ll be leaving But I won’t be grieving I’ll just be all alone And I don’t know how you do what you do Love me one day, the next I’m your fool But I just had to see this through Like I always do Grab my passport Head to the airport Where my future awaits I don’t know Just where I’ll be going When I get through the gates Two as one, now two alone And I don’t know where My poor heart has flown Probably south, so on I go To find it Where? God only knows And I don’t know how you do what you do Love me one day, the next I’m your fool But I just had to see this through Like I always do
8.
I don't expect you to notice All of my blinking alarms This is just me at my lowest But I mean no harm I don't know that much about you I don't even know your first name I'd have to be a good gumshoe To be that far in the game And unsure But in turn I'll come running when she says the word I wouldn't call myself charming I've got a lot left to learn But I'm not the worst on this farm team And I still get spurned I sit at my chair with my coffee I play at my words and my songs Make up like I am who I want to be And I still get it all wrong But she just smiles And says neat And I'm suddenly almost complete I wish I was more easy going But I haven't been cured of the hex And I have no basis for knowing What might happen next I could concede and go all in It might not even be all that bad I've got a feeling I'm falling And I may already have Should I apologize (Not a day since in all of my life have I been so aware of the war without fighting it) For exploits that I've enjoyed (Holding nothing against it and feeling the joy) When I have caught myself (And the days have gone by with the nights and I catch my tongue holding it still but not biting it) Staring into the void (And I stare with a spiteful eye into the void) I guess I'll count myself lucky For what little I do comprehend Keep my chin up and stay plucky Cause I don't want it to end

about

"Unlike so many bands who make a mess by rushing every musical idea they've ever had into a debut album, Terriers find a sophisticated harmony on UAS, chiseling out a delightful identity all their own." - Gene Wagendorf III, Windy City Rock

"Working with producer Dan Duszynski (Gold Motel, Any Kind), Terriers have created an album which is impossible to peg down in one genre and exceeds expectations." - Josh Terzino, Music. Defined.
