I asked Travis about the one lyric from CSU that we couldn't figure out. I'm about to update the CSU post with what he told us. Here is the chorus now that we've filled in the blanks... YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! That has been driving me nuts still to this day!!! Thanks, Sonya - nice work!

Was it clues or blues?
And thanks Sonya for asking again. I tried at Blend the first night but I was too drunk to find it on my phone

Here you go, Sonya - my first (very quick) stab at the lyrics - could use some help:
Wine Glass in the Clouds
I waited in line for you, Honey. And I waited for the years to pass on by. And now you’re with someone else and it hurts to see you holding hands and staring off in the sea. Some say if you wait around for the beauty queen, You could be the loneliest man on the earth. I guess they’re right, cuz I’m feeling like a cloud That is left all alone in the dark. In the cold. I know I’m lost and out of control. It’s something I know, and it takes hold. I’ll let you know. Oh yes, you’re good. Too good for me. Oh what I do. I hope this song gets to you. It won’t be long until everything will start to charge and every lane will be nothing more than a fade.
Understand you will always be a part of me - a whole lot of me - and that’s the way it will be. I don’t want to get too old and to hurry up and to pass it by and be left here all alone
If I was good enough for your mama, then I’ll be good enough, good enough for you. The way you are with the things that you love, oh it shines above. It’s exactly what I love. You know me best. I could spend the rest of my life with you, my love. I’ll wait just a little while.
You never claimed anybody. You kept me wondering. I want to thank you for helping me. You always knew what I needed most. Do you remember all the stormy/starry(?) nights I would break down and tell you how I felt for you? Do you think that you’ll ever know what you want, or who you want, or why you do what you do? You have a million hearts crawling back Wanting more - they never seem to ever get over you. I’m one of those who fell into a sea of yous. Like walking around and stumbling _______. If I was good enough for your daddy, then I’ll be good enough, good enough for you.
I know I’m lost and out of control, it’s something I know, and it takes hold. I’ll let you know that you’re too good. Oh, you’re too good for me. The way you are with the things that you love. Oh, it shines above.

Kacie, take a look at this and let me know what you think (changes/additions are in bold)

I've got most of this one but there are a couple parts I'm not sure if I'm hearing right...help please! ;D The Underpass When I'm down the only thing to do is listen and feel the sound it takes me to another place, and I leave Earth and head out on a musical journey and i get by and it eats my time I hope this never gets too old or tires on me It's the only thing that sets me free from this dream Take my money, take my car and everything else Let me cherish the only thing that helps me breathe The first thing i saw when i got out of bed was a suicide routine, another 23 dead I took a walk outside to get a bit of fresh air Images still there, but i try not to care oooh just let me be i don't need a thing I stay away from the hurt and the fallin leaves these are the days when love don't mean a thing don't think we'll ever stop learning how to ?kill?I can't see if anyone is coming Leave me out of this, i don't want nothing The pressure - days it leaves me in the corner Moving back instead of moving forward I hope this never gets too old or tires on me It's the only thing that sets me free from this dream Take my money, take my car and everything else Let me cherish the only thing that gives me my health oooh just let me be i don't need a thing I stay away from the hurt and the fallin leaves

The Underpass
When I'm down the only thing to do is listen and feel the sound it takes me to another place, and I leave Earth and head out on a musical journey and i get by and it eats my time
I hope this never gets too old or dies on me It's the only thing that sets me free from this dream Take my money, take my car and everything else Let me cherish the only thing that helps me breathe
The first thing i saw when i got out of bed was a suicide routine, another 23 dead I took a walk outside to get a bit of fresh air Images still there, but i try not to care
oooh just let me be i don't need a thing I stay away from the hurt and the fallin leaves these are the days when love don't mean a thing don't think we'll ever stop learning how to ?kill? (<-i don't even hear a word man more like just a sound) I can't see if anyone is coming Leave me out of this, i don't want nothing The pressure - days it leaves me in the corner Moving back instead of moving forward
I hope this never gets too old or dies on me It's the only thing that sets me free from this dream Take my money, take my car and everything else Let me cherish the only thing that gives me my ?help/health? (almost even sounds like hell oooh just let me be i don't need a thing I stay away from the hurt and the fallin leaves
I don't think i was much help, i think this is my favorite new travis song. i dig the music and it's very well written.

Hey ladies, nice work! I too LOVE this song - great lyrics. Sucks some of you missed out on it til now - I hate knowing there is probably so much more of Trav's talent out there that I haven't heard. Not sure where I had gotten it, but I've had it for a few months now. I've always thought it was, "I hope this never gets too old or tires on me." Watcha think? I'm hearing "health" on that last questionable one.

Thanks for the help ladies! I don't know what happened with that phrase missing in the first verse...it was there when I posted it initially but when I modified the post for a typo I think I accidentally deleted it.
Kacie, I do think you are correct...now that I listen to it again it sounds like he says "I hope it never tires on me". I also changed that word to "health" towards the end.
