Track Name: The Great War
Sister don’t touch the phone
He will call or he won’t
Pack your bags and come home
Where you’re not so alone

If he cares
Does he care?
If he loves you
Does he love you?

All hands on the weak kids
All hands on the weak kids
The enemy’s in sight
Buckle up it’s gonna be a long fight

Laura’s in Ireland
Will he still be her friend?
She can be so replaced
Such a shame, such a waste

All hands on the weak kids
All hands on the weak kids
The enemy’s in sight
Buckle up it’s gonna be a long fight
Track Name: A Proper Answer
I should have stopped it from the start
I should have stopped you from the word go
But the number was a trick
And I got bad habits

I should have known how I’d feel
I should have told myself, Remember

And the weekend that we slept
You didn’t have to let me sleep in
You didn’t even let me wake up
You could of let me wake

And when I know how I feel
When I know how I feel
When I know how I feel I’ll give

A proper answer

I should have stopped you yesterday
I could have fought you yesterday
The question mark is here to stay
Track Name: Girl by the Dock
Has it been 17 years
Since we first spoke
out by the docks
You caught your first fish and I helped you out
We thought it was gross
and threw it back in
And walked home as friends
And it was wasn’t too long
‘Til we were out back
Practicing kissing our cats

When you turned to me and you said
Why not work on each other instead?
Sugar has never been so sweet.

Has it been 17 years
That you’ve known my faults
And said only praise
You took all my fears and my worries away
You never complained
Or said what you needed to say
And I wish that you would have complained
Or that I was smart
Or better
So I could fix everything

Left when you hung up the phone
For the first time I’m feeling alone
And I’m not looking for a lover
Just the friend that I discovered
17 years ago
When I heard a shout
Track Name: Assumption Rock
Sink or swim
Told ourselves only a test
But I liked
Sinking under your breath best
But you’ve parted ways for the far east
And I’ve put up my roots west

Tell me, Love
Why the leaves are like your hair
One day soon
I hope to see the trees bare
But you’ve found your own way overseas
And I’ve found my own way here

Cut the deck
See what’s spelled out in the cards
But I’ve found
Easy days are passing hard
Since you’ve found your own way overseas
Now my roots are dying west
On Assumption Rock I’ll be waiting
Making sure I pass this test.
