My Favorite Highway

I have come across this new band, and they are amazing. Lyrically, their music abounds with stabs at my heart with every line, but musically, I find them kind of...amateur. Anyway, here are a few of their songs that I like...

How To Call A Bluff

Lonely, stubborn and complacent
You have insisted on leaving me here
Writing the same song I started last year
Lovely conjunctions and phrases
Plays on a few words, that you never meant
I must have misread all of the signals that you never sent

It's a bitter sweet life, and it's leaving me A-OK
It's a bitter sweet life, I have loved and lost my heart along the way

Maybe I could still hold you
Or you could call if you feel so inclined
Please take your time locating whatever you're trying to find
Maybe it's time to let go
But I'm too scared and so unprepared
How do I forget, every moment in time that we shared

I'm calling your bluff
I have toyed with the idea of burning your stuff
This is so rough
And it's as if deserting me wasn't enough
Well I've had enough
I'm calling your bluff

The Worst Way To Retaliate

Don't hesitate to break my back
You're a heart attack, you are everything I lack
If you feel the need to take my pride
Cut me down to size, cough up the truth and run and hide

You refuse to let me stay
I was not meant to bend this way
I could you I love you, but it won't be the same
The way that it ended means there's no one to blame
You weren't made to make me sing

Wide awake, you keep me up in bed
I got a hundred different things runnin' through my head
It's hard to fall asleep when all your dreams are dead
And I know you think about me too
Or I'm assuming in the back of your mind if you do
Subconsciously your hoping I come back to you

I hate to be the one to pick a fight
But you see, I know when I'm wrong and I know when I'm right
It's a challenge to be strong when you're so weary and trite
Don't hesitate to say you need some space
Well it seems that you have found somebody else to replace
The melancholy feeling that I have to embrace

Their name is My Favorite Highway, so give 'em a listen if you ever decide to broaden your musical horizons.
