So Small

|

I opened my eyes too soon
Running from the devil in you
Tight feeling in my left arm
Am I dying? Are my days gone?
I’m floating above you
So small I could lose you
Am I too high to come back down?
Will I ever return to this ground?
Ah ha
I still see that skyline
Cool air on my face I’ll drive through the night
I hope that I’d reach you soon
This road is unclear, I’m losing view
Ah ha

Fireworks

I missed the fireworks tonight
I heard them echoing inside, inside
The dogs are quiet tonight
They’re scared out of their minds, minds
The people gathering outside
They’re all looking up at the same sky, same sky
I’m with you (x3)
Tonight (x4)
I smell the air its burning bright
Do you see me in all this light?
You disappear into the smoke
I breathe it in and start to choke
I stop to let it all in
I’m learning how to give in
Get out of my skin
And let you in
I’m with you
I’m with you
I want to be with you
I want to burn bright too
I want to be with you
I want to burn bright too
Ohhh
Wanna burn bright too (x3)

Dark Spell

|

Midnight you burnt out my tail light, fading slow, loving goes
Held tight you put up a good fight, let me go, leaving you alone
You know I’d never leave you with a heartache (x2)
So break me and tell me what hurts (x2)
Held my breath while you covered up this stench, I’m your call collect
Moving to your sway I’m losing my own way, give me all your pain
I took your load in
And I took your load in
You know I’d never leave you with a heartache (x2)
So break me and tell me what hurts (x2)
I never took it all too well
You watched me wither
Under your dark, dark spell (x2)
So break me and tell me what hurts (x4)

Buffet
05:19
|
|
||
|
I am here too
I stand don’t take much room
You put me down
What gave you the right to this ground?
I want this too
I want the same things you do
You look so good
Your eyes eat me before I could
Tell you that I’m not
Part of the buffet
Stand there in my place
Go about your day
I hold my tongue
I watch the blood run
What am I to say
To a man of your age
I feel so uneasy
Walk another way
Making up excuses
For a man of your old age
I fill (x4)
Told you that I’m not
Part of the buffet
Push me round your plate
Go about your day
Trying your luck for free
Moving my body
Feeling your eyes all over me
Moving your lips, your grip
Hugging my hips
Like they weren’t a part of me

Dirt
07:49
|
|
||
|
I put you down in the dirt
Ruined all your hard work
You drove all night
You drove all night
Building that barricade rage
Watching that part of you fade
You danced all day
You danced away
You were my age
You were my age
I saw you down in the dirt
Digging a hole for your hurt
You were my age
You were my age
When you gave me my name
We drove all night
We drove all night

Leaving
04:08
|
|
||
|
Do I let go, do I return
Find the pieces, put together
Will I miss out on important
Things already escaping me…escaping
Will I lose a part of me
Materialistically
I’m deflating, things are escalating
Can’t stop aging, want to feel the way I
Used to dream of far off places
Now I long for your embraces…embraces
Do I choose one love for another
Stretched and split, I will recover
Will you grow old and remember
All the times we had together
Will I miss out, should I return
Will I ever find the peace in distance?
Will I find? Or will i…
Now I’m here without you
Now I’m here without you
But I won’t cry
Cause your still in
My vision
Is blurring
And I walk it back, forcing my tracks
Pushing my back against the window
That turned me to sand
When I saw your hand
Waving again

Feed

|
|
||
|
All your hard times
All your hard times
I feed it into mine
I feed it
I feed it
All your hard times
All your hard times
I feed it
I feed it
I feed it
I feed it

The Way Back
02:37
|
|

|
Do you know the way back to your hands
Pick it up and start again
Till you know
Do you know the way back to your feet
Never felt this heavy
Move 'em slowly
Feel it ease
Do you know that I will hold you in the light (x2)
Till you know
Do you know the way back to your head
Its ok to just pretend
Till you know
Do you know the way back to your heart
Never felt this far
Please don’t find a way out (x2)
Please don’t find a way out (x2)
Do you know that I will hold you in the light (x2)
Do you know that I will hold you in the light (x2)
Till you know

Motel 6
04:14
|
|
||
|
I saw the smoke from your breath turn to poetry
The light you blew burned through a silence in me
You gave me my first kiss in a Motel 6
So young just dying to be part of it
I could drive through the night and pretend all of this don’t exist
I could drive through the night and pretend all of this don’t exist
I could drive through the night and pretend that I don’t exist
I made a bad excuse to run when things got thin
I wasn’t old enough or strong in my skin
Too high to drive I let us spin
And left you standing where it all began
I could drive through the night and pretend all of this don’t exist
I could drive through the night and pretend all of this don’t exist
I could drive through the night and pretend that I don’t exist

Blue Side
03:06

|

|
Take me on your blue side
To the river that was once dry
And the shadow that’s in mourning
Will start to feel herself one day soon
Take me on your blue side
Where the showers passed in strides
But the geese were all still flying
All in lines across the Oregon sky
Oh that old dog will fly
And the cracks in your eyes will dry
But she’ll still hear your words by and by
Take me on your blue side
To that empty bottle of wine
When the kids are all a sleeping
And you’re in your room a weeping once again
Take me on your blue side
To the hills covered in tall pine
Where the fog just sat there laughing
While the sun was trying to burn her way back through
Oh her old thoughts will dry
And her whole heart will cry
But she'll still see the sun in your eyes
Take me on your blue ride
Take me on your blue
I still love you in the dark of night
I still love you in the morning light
Take me on your blue side
Where the water started to rise
But the fish were all still shining
You could hear the birds a calling once again
Take me on your blue side
To the river that was once dry
And the shadow that’s in mourning
Will start to feel herself one day soon

Aretha

I know it must seem wrong to know you all so well
When I heard your voice
You made it alright
When I’m down
Aretha
You are my girl
You hold it down
You have got me feeling
A new kind of motion
When I heard your songs
You made it alright
When I’m down
Aretha
You are my girl
You hold it down
Did you walk home in the night
Did you go easy, did you go light
I heard you singing this chain’s gonna break
Get down
You sang no man is ever gonna take
You down
Get down
You down
Get down
You down
Get down
You down
Get down
Get down
I get down

Oblivion
02:54

If I burn to a crisp out in the sun
Would you sweep me up, feed me to oblivion?
Watch me fly and burn out in the sky
See me twirl my way out of the world
If I turn into a particle of dust
Would you put me in a star till I erupt?
Watch me flash, oh time is ticking fast
See me whirl into a ball of mass
Don’t cry I’m moving on
Don’t cry when I’m gone
If I vaporize before your eyes
Would you cool my molecules as they start to rise?
Watch me shake this cloud is gonna break
See me swirl and let down all my weight
Don’t cry I’m moving on
Don’t cry when I’m gone
