1. Sliding Down

Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer & Mike Marshall

Instrumental

2. Myth of Happiness

Jay Brannan

I don’t always feel on, in fact I’m usually turned off
But I am drawn into your grieving
And you’re smile’s not so deceiving
I can take the face off

And he coulda, woulda, wasn’t
And I am, will, have, did
If tomorrow I died, no one could say I hadn’t tried
Even succeeded, God forbid

3. Storm Comin’

The Wailin’ Jennys

When that love calls open up the door
When that love calls open up the door
When that love calls open up the door
You gotta stand on up and let it in, let love through your door.

4. Denmark

Jay Brannan

We’ve got a lot of maybes to muddle through
But my emotional rabies are fixed on crashing through to you
The governments and distance stand between us we’ll be fine
Cos im gonna tear this world apart baby until you’re mine

5. Undone in Sorrow

Crooked Still

I’ll go lay you down and wonder 
Lay aside my earthy gain
All I am undone in riches
Undone in sorrow I’ll remain

6. Come All You Sailors

The Wailin’ Jennys

Come all you seekers
Realize that you can see
Find within your deepest longing
That all you need is me

7. Half-Boyfriend

Jay Brannan

As I wander through Union Square
I remember when you followed me there
You were the stalker I kinda wanted to have
Being your half-boyfriend was only half bad.

8. The Luckiest

Ben Folds

What if I’d been born fifty years before you in a house on a street where you’d live?
Maybe I’d be outside as you passed on your bike. Would I know?
And in a wide sea of eyes, I see one pair that I recognize.
And I know that I am the luckiest.

9. Green and Gray

Nickel Creek

That one time his hand slipped and I saw the dart sail away
I don’t know where it landed but I’m guessing between green and gray
Well I thought nothing of it but it still haunts him like a ghost
With all eyes upon him except those that matter the most. He says,
Green is the color that everyone sees all around me
Gray is the color I see around her, she’s just a blur

10. Unstable Boy

Jay Brannan

I should be tending to the horses who intend to cart my joy
From now unto forever I’m just a lonely, unstable boy
I’m a failure on a journey but my strength is gathering
And it’s only fair that I make it there yeah I’m on my way to mattering

11. When You Come Back Down

Nickel Creek

You’ve gotta leave me now, You’ve got to go alone
You’ve gotta chase a dream, one that’s all your own
Before it slips away.
When you’re flyin’ high, take my heart along
I’ll be the harmony to every lonely song
That you’ll learn to play.

12. Still Fighting It

Ben Folds

Everybody knows it sucks to grow up
And everybody does, so weird to be back here
And let me tell you what, the years go on and
We’re still fighting it we’re still fighting it
You’ll try and try and one day you’ll fly
 Away from me.
