Fornia 02:39
Fornia (Heads to the Wall) If it had teeth, it would have bitten me It was staring daggers back at me You can't lose the world, so lose yourself Finding yourself will only put you further in yourself It's true, what they say about you You're gonna leave this town And you won't come back If you don't stick, then we won't stick If you don't make it work, then what will? You got a wolf by the ears, got a bull by the horns Not safe holding on, not safe to let go It's true, the things they said about you You came from a ghost town And you got kicked out I know, I've got a one track mind Oh, with the shape I'm in Man, I gotta bounce back We'll give up, we'll let it slip 'Cause we all know we can get a new grip
2.
Love Finds You (Olive Branch) It might be a blessing, it may be a curse It could get better before it gets worse You might find nothing, you might get it all It could be easy, it might get hard You can't find love Because love finds you You might get nowhere, you might get far You may find all the things that you hoped for You might get over it, it might never leave You could rejoice with it, or you could grieve You won't find love You can't find love Because love finds you It might be a blessing, it may be a curse It could get better before it gets worse You might find nothing, you might get it all It could be easy, it might get hard You can't find love Because love finds you
3.
What We Make of It (The Power of Suggestion) It's not a lot to say you want more It's no big deal if it's the biggest one you got You only have to be scared to do it It's not enough when you don't care It's no excuse to give up the try You only have to be scared to do it On front street with a back-handed compliment If the shoe don't fit, I can just force it It's what we make, but I can't make this the world that I want When all I want is you It's not a lot to say you want more It's no big deal if it's the biggest one you got You only have to be scared to do it
4.
I Just Need Your Heart (She's the One) Slow down I can't calm down, I can't slow down You put me on Weighed down I'll cut my problems out, they weigh me down I don't need it all I just need your heart Your heart and that's all So long Like lightning hit my brain, and I'm gone A world apart Hold on I feel you in my bones, and I know that you know I don't need it all I just need your heart Your heart and that's all My love My love, I just need your heart I just need your heart
5.
The God Damn Regret (By the Throat) I need someone, just anyone, that I can blame this on I know I shouldn't feel this way at all, but I just want out I'm older than you You are the only one, yes, the only one that I think about I wait for miracles or somebody to do this for me I'm older than you I'm gonna get real mad, so you don't have to be I'm gonna get real sad, so you don't have to be I'm gonna get real scared, so you don't have to be You can't put the past behind you It's not what you did, but what you didn't do You're all the same I can tell you honestly I act differently when I'm not around you I hope you find what you are looking for, yes, I sincerely do I'm older than you I'm gonna get real mad, so you don't have to be I'm gonna get real sad, so you don't have to be I'm gonna get real scared, so you don't have to be
6.
Nobody Wants a Stray Cat (Down the Rungs) An old dog, new tricks I've got poison spit Now that I see what you're like I know not what to be I've got you pegged Those things you said Ever since you came into my life I know what I should do I'll take it all and act like it's fine I'm sure you get like this The sick help the sick And all the desperate ones They save the other ones I don't want a stray cat I'll break it off and chew what's left It's about hunger when you're young And loss when you're old I'll make it all and act like it ain't mine
7.
It's the Pits (This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things) Starting off on the wrong foot, it wasn't what I had planned No, not at all All this attitude towards me, it wasn't what I had planned No, not at all Unreciprocated love, it wasn't what I had planned No, not at all What you had in store for me, it wasn't what I had planned No, not at all Giving me the run around, it wasn't what I had planned No, not at all Haunted by my own past, it wasn't what I had planned No, not at all Polite polite all the time, it wasn't what I had planned No, not at all I'll break my back to hold you up I gave up my sense, I found a new rule of thumb All the shame and all the guilt, it wasn't what I had planned No, not at all Always being the accused, it wasn't what I had planned No, not at all The rug pulled out from under me, it wasn't what I had planned No, not at all An aching deep inside my guts, it wasn't what I had planned No, not at all To never share one honest word, it wasn't what I had planned No, not at all
