1.	Space and Time 01:52	lyrics	buy track
You know, somebody asked me once: "If you could go back in time, what advice would you give to your younger self?" So I thought about it, and I came to the conclusion that I couldn't answer it. Because if who I am today went back in time, right now, Whatever I say to the younger me could potentially have such an effect That the younger version of me could never make it back to this moment Where they were asked: "What if you could go back in time?" See, if I could go back in time, I'd prefer to let the younger me speak So that I could listen to what they have to say Because surely, along the way, For as much as I've learned, I've also forgotten I've forgotten how to be free of my insecurities, I've forgotten how to live in the moment, How to stop worrying so much about the future... Why is that? I've become jaded in my years But if I had to give the younger me any bit of advice, I would say this: "Call your mother. Call your father. Tell the ones you love just how much you love them before it's too late. Because, surely, the older you is listening to this conversation In a memory. And, boy, do they wish they could travel back to this moment Right here, Right now."
2.	One Way Ticket 06:01	lyrics	buy track
I’ve spent so many nights lost in the pictures I’ve held my fists so tight my knuckles crack I scream so violently into my pillow But nothing that I do will bring you back I’ve scribbled out these words too many ways now I’m such a hypocrite, I feel so weak So quick to call religion just faith in science fiction Yet here I am now praying on my knees But I don’t need a god, I need more of your time And it’s selfish that I feel left behind No one knows why we don’t always get a warning I just hope that soon enough I’ll get a sign Cause I can’t go where you’re going So just promise you’ll come and visit It’s not fair never knowing Where you went on that one-way ticket I wonder where you are, if you can hear me? You light up all the darkness in my mind I feel you from a distance like you’re near me I wish that I could see you one more time So many different questions that I’d ask you I really need to know that you’re alright No clue what I believe in apart from what I’m feeling And it feels like you’re still here at my side But I don’t need a god, I want more of your time And it’s selfish that I feel left behind No one knows why we don’t always get a warning I just hope that soon enough I’ll get a sign Cause I can’t go where you’re going So just promise you’ll come and visit It’s not fair never knowing Where you went on that one way ticket I know you rest in peace But now I can hardly sleep I just need a couple good hours
3.	Unspoken, Unbroken 05:11	lyrics	buy track
How many times are we gonna do this? Can you tell me why I should keep on trying I think you like to put me through it We only make up so we can keep on fighting So if I'm better off without you why do I keep on showing up at your door? I feel weak when I'm around you but I only keep going back for more So what am I supposed to do everything that we've been through I can't just let go now I know I made my own mistakes and my friends say I should make a clean break But I don't know how No we can't take back all the hurtful things we say And we can't unbreak all the promises we made We could try again but it's best we walk away Oh I wish it could all be unspoken, unbroken I should've learned to be more patient You never let your anger get in your way No matter how your heart was breaking You always knew to find the right words to say So what am I supposed to do everything that we've been through I can't just let go now I know I made my own mistakes and my friends say I should make a clean break But I don't know how No we can't take back all the hurtful things we say And we can't unbreak all the promises we made We could try again but it's best we walk away Oh I wish it could all be unspoken, unbroken
4.	Romantic Comedy 03:50	lyrics	buy track
I’m so tired but I just can’t sleep My eyelids are like movie screens When they close I get a front row seat To the feature length story of you and me The final scene in the coffee shop You broke the news and you took right off I saw him waiting in the parking lot What a funny little twist in our simple plot We moved fast but it still felt right It didn’t fall apart overnight Looking back, all we did was fight I should’ve seen it coming but love is blind I’ll try hard not to hold a grudge I know I’m stubborn and I’m hard to love But it worse to be thinking of The way it could’ve been or the way it was? You wanna be friends but you can’t right now You wanna talk through it but you don’t know how So spare me all the drama, please It’s gone on way too long for me This love is a joke but there’s nobody laughing in this romantic comedy
5.	Georgetown 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Midnight on the boulevard On my way right back to you Devil lurking in the dark You twist her like you twist the truth It’s such a shame, she’s beautiful She never would’ve played those games But who can tell if she’s the one Who let it all go down in flames? Liar, liar, liar I know I shouldn’t play with fire Fire, Fire, Fire But I’m preaching to the choir, preaching to the choir, yeah On my way to call you out Let’s finish what we started soon Devil in a haunted house I’m here to make a deal with you It’s such a shame she’s beautiful She never would’ve played those games But who can tell if she’s the one Who let it all go down in flames? Liar, liar, liar I know I shouldn’t play with fire Fire, Fire, Fire But I’m preaching to the choir, preaching to the choir, yeah
6.	She's Really Not That Into You 03:58	lyrics	buy track
She’s got a really big day at the hair salon She’s cuttin’ it short and goin’ french fry blonde She’s getting tired of being strung along Just to give away her heart and get cheated on And hooking up is so overrated Cause even when it’s good she’s still gotta fake it I heard a rumor she was leaving town She doesn’t need the drama cause she’s single now She’s really, really not that into you - so just deal with it She’s really, really not that into you - so just deal with it You gotta listen to your heart when it beats, yeah you gotta feel with it Nah she’s really, really not that into you, so just deal with it She wasn’t gonna wait around, gonna wait around forever I bet it really burns bad knowing she might deserve better She might’ve given it a shot if you would just drop your ego But she’s tired of waiting But it’s all that she wants
7.	Saltwater 04:30	lyrics	buy track
Just a shipwreck in your ocean And I’m stranded in your shades of blue But I don’t know how I got here I was trying to sail away from you Say the wrong thing, make the wrong choice Suddenly someone’s hurt All the intention slips right through the cracks Swallow our pride, give it some time Maybe we’ll make it work But some things can’t be taken back You’re the only thing I see everywhere I turn No sign of any land or shore If I need you for survival it’s a deadly curse Saltwater I can’t drink you anymore Do you feel the way that I do? Do I drown you in your quiet now? When the waves crash all around you Is it hard to find your lighthouse? Say the wrong thing, make the wrong choice Suddenly someone’s hurt All the intention slips right through the cracks Swallow our pride, give it some time Maybe we’ll make it work But some things can’t be taken back You’re the only thing I see everywhere I turn No sign of any land or shore If I need you for survival It’s a deadly curse Saltwater I can’t drink you anymore
8.	New York Minute 04:25	lyrics	buy track
Lower Madison Avenue is where I first laid eyes on you I still remember your jacket Red riding hood in Manhattan You took a job in LA, you were only here for two more days And somehow 48 hours later, we’re fighting back tears at JFK But I won’t stop you so I walk you to your gate Check your bags in - did I see you hesitate? Have a safe flight, I hope it gets delayed But when the wheels left the runway I couldn’t help but laugh I’ll come and visit someday cause you came and went too fast That’s the thing about a New York Minute - there’s just no getting it back That’s the thing about a New York Minute - there’s just no getting it back It’s not like we can’t keep in touch but different time zones make it tough I’ll send you messages about stupid shit that only you and I would get Maybe I’ll come surprise you, but maybe that’s too much? I wonder what you’re thinking and is it about us? We only had a weekend but I can’t help but feel like I know you, need you, miss you But when the wheels left the runway I couldn’t help but laugh I’ll come and visit someday cause you came and went too fast That’s the thing about a New York Minute - there’s just no getting it back That’s the thing about a New York Minute - there’s just no getting it back But when the wheels left the runway I couldn’t help but laugh I’ll come and visit someday cause you came and went too fast That’s the thing about a New York Minute - there’s just no getting it back That’s the thing about a New York Minute - there’s just no getting it back
9.	Let Go Of Me 03:53	lyrics	buy track
I drove by place that we used to call home and my heart skipped a beat turning onto the road I thought about knocking but who would open the door? Did they find that broken promise that we carved in the floor? I've seen some of your pictures, seems like you're doing fine I'm keeping my distance but I'm frozen in time So let go of me, let go of me, you're not mine but I'm still yours Let go of me, you're controlling me, I can't go on like this no more Yeah I sound so lame but you've got me chained and I refuse to let you know So I wish you'd let go Yeah I'd call but I'm scared that you'll pick up the phone And I'm trying my hardest to leave you alone I thought about texting - would you leave it on read? I don't want to annoy you, I'll say nothing instead I feel like your puppet, you're pulling my strings I just want to ask you for one final thing So let go of me, let go of me, you're not mine but I'm still yours Let go of me, you're controlling me, I can't go on like this no more Yeah I sound so lame but you've got me chained and I refuse to let you know So I wish you'd let go I don't want to be the one to let go first Don't want to be the one, don't want to be the one
10.	Holier Than Thou 04:39	lyrics	buy track
Hand on the bible I swear this is true I’m your disciple What you command I will do Just don’t ask me to leave now We can still make this work I’m down on my knees now Your heart is my church Your love is holier Holier than thou Your love is holier Holier than thou Whenever I stumble In all of my mistakes For you I am humble I bow in your grace I’m hardly an angel But you give me wings Without you I’m lost, so just name your cost I’ll die on your cross Cause your love is holier Holier than thou Your love is holier Holier than thou Down on my knees I will stay Unto your heart I will pray

After I discovered GUNSHIP with UNICORN, I went through all their material in a rush. They're whole discography is great, and I think this is the greatest. This album haunts me. I can't listen to it once. Even if I turn it off, I still hear it echoing in the back of my mind. GUNSHIP has a mastery of the bridge that reaches the level of mastery in this album that's just unrivaled. If you get only one album from GUNSHIP, get this one. Mailanka
