Balance 03:31
I told you you have pretty eyes And haven't seen your glasses since. Can you see me any better Or is it just coincidence? Your eyebrow is pierced to balance the mole On the left side of your lip, And I am the one who balances Your body as you sleep. There is a softness in your eyes, Surrounded by deep blue, Like the moonlight edge of a midnight cloud That is backlit by the moon. And I can feel where your skin is raised From the ink in your tatoos: A map of your life, a way for you to keep What you never want to lose. And the days roll by outside of this place In the vacuum of time that we create © 2005 George Irwin, How You Like My Moves (ASCAP)

The Waves 03:32
I spent a lifetime under the sea It was much louder than your heart could beat I kissed your cheek so soaked and salty But the waves only wanted to drown me And the waves only wanted to drown me And the waves only wanted to drown me As soon as I thought I could breathe I pulled you down underneath with me And passed my final breath into your lips Only to sink and leave you to swim And the waves only wanted to drown me And the waves only wanted to drown me And the waves only wanted to drown me And the waves only wanted to drown me And the waves only wanted to drown me And the waves only wanted to drown me © 2005 George Irwin, How You Like My Moves (ASCAP)

Doubts 03:57
So you've got your doubts? That's not a surprise to find out; I've got some, too. And I don't know why, Because I know that we both tried, But something's just not right. Sometimes I still want more. Is this all there is? Is this all there is? Is this all there is? Is this all there is? We're waiting for the change Because things are not the same But I don't know if we'll make it. I know you feel it, too, And I don't know what to tell you. I don't know what to tell you. It cuts me to the core. Is this all there is? Is this all there is? Is this all there is? Is this all there is? Tell me, what's in store? Is this the end? I can almost see it. Can you feel it? And tell me, my dear, Is there any way out of here, Or do we have to live it? My heart's an open door. Is this all there is? Is this all there is? Is this all there is? Is this all there is? Is this all there is? Is this all there is? Is this all there is? Is this all there is? © 2005 George Irwin, How You Like My Moves (ASCAP)

Distance 03:13
I don't mind the heartache I kind of like the pain At least I'm feeling something It lets me know I'm sane I don't mind the distance I kind of like the train But with your resistance It seems to be in vain So if you want me anymore, Come and knock on my door. If you want me anymore, Come and knock on my door. I'm tired of trying And wasting all my time So if you want me You'd better make up your mind So if you want me anymore, Come and knock on my door. If you want me anymore, Come and knock on my door.

Sad tunes on buses In New England colors; The light fades into night. Two years it's been since I missed your presence; I crawl back to the light. And we're waiting to be Waiting to be Waiting to be okay. Memories all come back All along the train tracks As they might have yesterday. In a four hour ride Your smile fades from my mind With what I didn't say. And we're waiting to be Waiting to be Waiting to be okay. © 2005 George Irwin, How You Like My Moves (ASCAP)

Souvenir 02:50
Before we start, let's get something straight: I have a broken heart, and don't need any more pain. Please don't tell me that you're in love, In love with anyone... anyone but me. And so I ask you: are you sincere? Or do you want me as just another souvenir? © 2005 George Irwin, How You Like My Moves (ASCAP)

Off My Mind 02:03
When I get home at night, I play my guitar to try to unwind, To try to unwind. And I sing you a song, I sing you a song to get you off my mind, Get you off my mind. And the rest I wrote down but I can’t tell you, No I won’t tell you. And the rest I wrote down but I won’t tell you, No I can’t tell you. And I’ll sing you a song to get you off my mind, Get you off my mind. © 2005 George Irwin, How You Like My Moves (ASCAP)

Seattle 03:12
Seattle is a rainy city But not as rainy as your eyes I'd never seen a face so pretty I never wanted to pass you by Seattle is a lonely place But not as lonely as your smile The last time it crossed your face The sun was shining in the sky The sun was shining in your eyes There were sparks in your eyes Seattle has its share of dark days But it's got some bright ones, too I never thought I'd want to live there I only wanted to give in to you The sun was shining in your eyes There were sparks in your eyes

about

"Just Guns take everything the Austin music scene has to offer and blend it into their own unique sound. You hear one song and label them a country band, yet you hear another and can put them on the college radio along with Death Cab and Interpol. There is a definte country twang to the guitars in almost every song (thanks to a pedal steel that is ever present), but the vocals vary from what you hear coming out of the honky-tonk on the side of a country road to the plaintive shoe-gaze you hear on your local college radio show." -Instrumental Analysis
