| WHEN SHE'S NEAR |
|
My cover is blown
I'm faded and dreary
When my love is away
My cover is blown
When she leaves me alone
I'm weathered and weary
The nights are the days
When my love is away
- Chorus -
When she's near the new new years here
And there's not a resolution I can't do
I see things clearly when she's near me
When she's near me all the world is new
When life has me vexed
I'm stop thinking clearly
I can get so afraid
That I push her away
Repentance is next
I miss her so dearly
See those nights are the days
When my love is away
I'm waiting for the day when
I am on her mind
(cause she's on mine)
I'm waiting for the day when
Lve's no longer blind
Blind
| OUT OF ORDER | | |
- Chorus -
Out of order
Keeping quarters
Yes indeed, it's time to rearrange
What now is normal in my life
Used to be so strange
I remember days when it took
So much more to slow me down
I've been lonely too long
Straining to see through
The fog of all these things
Promises and threats
Satisfaction guarantee's
I remember days when it took
So much more to get me out
| NOT SURE | | |
How long will it take
For these ties to you to break
They're much stronger than I thought
- Chorus -
I'm not sure that I'll get over you
I'm not sure that I want to
How long till you're gone
From every troubled thought
Cause you're still here to heal what's wrong
We both made the call but it was only my fault
Such a beautiful view with a long way to fall
I was afraid how it could hurt
To leave the safety up above
But if it doesn't its not love
How long till I don't feel
Like you're still right here
Reminding me of what is real
| BETRAYAL | | |
I don't remember much about that night
But I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died
I think it rained, I think it rained,
I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died
You and I were always closest friends
It's women that make enemies of men
A pretty face, a pretty face,
A pretty face would one day do me in
Her eyes were like the winter when she goes
Holding secrets only winter knows
Winter knows, winter knows
Cause winter sees the wolves in women's clothes
She came to me in middle afternoon
We held each other close the whole night through
Love was blind, love was blind
I never saw her let you in the room
Someone always wins and then they write a book
I sing my defense, fingering a different crook
A gunshot was the only word you said
And all of my defenses came out red
Love is red, love is red
She left with you, you left me lying dead
But I watched her as you put me in the dirt
She had my wallet tucked inside her skirt
And I went numb, I went numb
So I'm not dead if what you did don't hurt.
| ELEMENTS COMBINED | | |
To the girl I told to run away
The ghost I saw a hundred times a day
You weren't like me no you weren't afraid
- Chorus -
You are elements combined
Earth, air, fire, wine
Someday you'll be mine
You stuck around, but we didn't fly
Weighed down by all I hid behind my eyes
I only hope that you realize
I'll bury all excuses,
Burn all the reasons why
I can't be everything you want,
And everything you need
We talk a lot but it's always small
Tiny bricks that make a giant wall
I hope these words are a wrecking ball
| WAR IN MY BLOOD | | |
I've got a girl
She tastes like rain on my tongue
She's got the moon in her hips
And her eyes burn up like the sun
When I'm gone from my girl
When I leave her alone
It ain't nothing that I'm running from
There's war in my blood
I've still got wars to be won
My Baby's soft and sweet
Somewhere between a flower and a gun
And where my girl is now
Someday that's where I want to be from
But love is a dollar that's already spent
Love is a song that's been sung
There's war in my blood
Love ain't the tune in my lungs
So here's my consolation
An opponent is enough
It takes two to go to war
And only one to fall in love
I had a girl
I know precisely what made her run
Her skin looked like the sky
Made my heart beat itself like a drum
I long for my girl
When I meet her in my dreams
I tell her she'll always be my only one
But there's war in my blood
There ain't a thing love could have done
There's war in my blood
| THROW IT AWAY | | |
I think about the life I live
A figure made of clay
And think about the things I lost
The things I gave away
And when I'm in a certain mood
I search the house and look
One night I found these magic words
In a magic book
- Chorus -
Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hand wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you
There's a hand to rock the cradle
And a hand to help us stand
With a gentle kind of motion
As it moves across the land
And the hand's unclenched and open
Gifts of life and love it brings
So keep your hand wide open
If you're needing anything
You can never ever lose a thing
If it belongs to you
| CLOSER THAN YOU THINK | | |
You've got a vision of some far off day
Beautiful and bright
A carrot hanging out of reach
But always in your sight
There's an icon in your mind
That stands for happiness someday
A picture on the wall
Of a kingdom far away
- Chorus -
But oh, it's closer than you think
Oh, it's breathing in between
Oh, it's closer than you think
Oh, it's right under your feet
The sky is much more blue
And the clouds are always white
The streets of course are gold
And always lit with rays of light
There's nothing on this earth
That's as good as whats up there
Life is so much better
When you're floating in the air
Forget about your bother
If he doesn't seem to understand
The heaven you've concocted in your head
Never mind your sister
When she asks you silly questions
About all the broken people left unfed
The burning questions are better left for dead
You can spend your life inside a box
Looking through stained glass
And dream about a better day
And hope that it comes fast
| PLEASE DON'T CALL IT LOVE | | |
You were indifferent
I was young
We were both drinking fiction with greedy tongues
You were waiting for someone
Something to happen
Something irrational
Climbing the walls and falling in love
How do you find me here my dove
Where my sun also rises
Sure enough I was waiting for someone
Something to happen
Something ridiculous
Climbing the walls and falling in what I'm now would call your bluff
Please don't call it love
Screaming our screenplay off the cuff
We were both stuck pretending
Our drinks were enough
I awoke in the morning
Mourning the day
I thought I could have you
Miles away from falling in love
Truth finds tonic sweet enough
Please don't call it love
| MOSTLY | | |
This is the darkest day I've seen
I can't find an opening
I've never felt this rage in me
I've never known this anger
I'm feeling like a curse
I feel like I'm getting worse
I'm bored with war in songs
I've been bitter far too long
Come on, prove me wrong
- Chorus -
And tell me I'm no loner
And tell me I'm not crazy
Or maybe just a little bit
Maybe just a little bit crazy
But mostly prove me wrong
They're up to something in my head
I can hear them taunting me
Thanks for nothing imagined friends
I can hear you laughing
I'm feeling like a hearst
Like I'm carrying dead hurt
I'm tried of being right
I'm retired from that fight
Hey come on, prove me wrong
I'm feeling like a bomb
Like I'm screwing up my song
It's like I don't belong
With no point in going on
| WE RIDE | | |
Sunrise over troubled waters
Over troubled fathers of the son of sun and sand
Steady now
You're the loosest cannon
Not yet a man but
We're not children
We're not kids anymore
- Chorus -
And we ride
We ride
We ride
Down these living seas
Down these living seas
Down these living seas
The winds are calmed and the deepest freed
We turn clever frills to steal the breath of angry seas
Hold me down where blood meets water
Where time is black and white bright blue until you breathe (breathe)
| LOOK FOR ME BABY | | |
When what you hold dear starts to disappear
You can tell what you trust by the things that you fear
You can look for me baby
Oh baby I'll be long gone
Who warned you
You white washed hues
To flee from the raft
It's long been doomed
You can look for me baby
Oh baby I'll be long gone
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That I'm a fight, that can only end in blows
You can say I showed a go
That I only go to shows
Yeah, you can give my regards to your house of cards
Your dead end stars and your pharisee shards
You can look for me baby
Oh baby I'll be long gone
Look for me baby
Oh baby I'll be long
Look for me baby
Baby I'll be long gone
