I Wanna Wake Up
03:26
|
|||
I wanna wake up for the morning sun
I wanna wake up without anyone
I wanna wake up, with nothing to get at
Leaving the papers piled where they lay
For another day.
I wanna wake up in the morning light
I wanna wake up on an empty mind
I wanna wake up so glad to be here
How can I wait until the leaves are green
And the world has been around us both it seems
In dream
It’s the shadow of our lives
It’s the shadow of our lives
It’s the change beneath my eyes
I wanna wake up
There’s nothing to see here
I wanna get out
we used to walk home in the morning light
‘cause it felt alright
At the time.

Tangled

Tangled changer, what’s the game?
Take me to the start
You’ve gone all blue but that’s on you
To sort your insides out.
Table’s played, it’s getting late
The answer comes to you
But change is hard and that’s the part
That you don’t want to do.
Change is hard and that’s the part
That you don’t want to do.
Hold on, no one gets the feel on their first try
Hold on, everything comes out when it’s time.
Hold on, we got nothing going on anyway.
Troubled teen, you’re getting mean
It was all on you
We called the cops but that’s your fault so
Get your own self out.
Kick and scream, your life’s a dream
Just wait ‘til it gets hard
Change your tune, it’s all on you
To sort your insides out.
Change is hard and that’s the part
That we don’t want to.
Hold on, no one gets the feel on their first try
Hold on, everything comes out when it’s time.
Hold on, we got nothing going on
We got nothing going on.
Change is hard and that’s the part that we don’t want to do
Hold on, no one gets the feel on their first try
Hold on, everything comes out when it’s time.
Hold on, no one gets the feel on their first try
Hold on, everything comes out when it’s time.
It’s alright.

No Worse Way to Go
04:58
|

I came out, like I was the one
Like I was the answer, like I wasn’t lost
But I’m stuck now in the same traffic
With the same static, with all of the rest.
There’s no worse way to go.
And I came out like I was on fire
And I burnt down, like burning a thread
And it turns out, I’m one in a million
One of the millions, who thinks they’re the one.
There’s no worse way to go.
There are some things to know.
How did you want it to be?
The questions always take it out of me.
If it turns out that I can’t be with you
Then it comes out, I was the one.
We can shake it but from a distance.
We can fake it, with all of the rest.
There’s no worse way to go.
There are some things to know.
How did you want it to be?
The questions always take it out of me.
How did you want it to be?

The Kiss
04:43
|
|||
Love rising from the mists,
Promise me this and only this,
Holy breath touching me, like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss
Sun sifting through the grey
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swooping down, just to show me
How to give my heart away
Once a crystal choir
Appeared while I was sleeping
And called my name
And when they came down nearer
Saying, dying is done,
Then a new song was sung
Until somewhere we breathed as one
And still I hear their whisper
Stars bursting in the sky
Hear the sad nova's dying cry
Shimmering memory, come and hold me
While you show me how to fly
Sun sifting through the grey
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swooping down, just to show me
How to give my heart away
Lately sparkling hosts
Come fill my dreams, descending
On fiery beams
I've seen 'em come clear down nearer
Where our poor bodies lay,
Soothe us gently and say,
Gonna wipe all your tears away
And still I hear their whisper
Love, rising from the mists
Promise me this and only this,
Holy breath touching me, like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss

All in all, ya it was warm enough
In a normal house, near a sun-caked lot
Woke up in a strange way
Things had gone far enough,
then the line went soft,
and the wheels came off
Worn-out scenes, common themes again.
A basic comedy
Where we’re all warm enough
And we’re hard enough now to not go soft
Reaching overseas
I think that it’s far enough
Then the line got dropped
And the wire got cut
Worn-out scenes, common themes again.
Heavy as the storm goes on
Warm enough to get around
Caught up in the days that come
Hard to bend and not back down
Reaching for the great beyond
What’s done is done, it’s warm enough
All in all, ya it was warm enough
And we’re old enough now to not go back
A decent end, finally found the open edge
The first drawn sketch, now in older hands
Worn-out scenes, common themes again.
Worn-out scenes, common themes again.
Worn-out scenes, common themes again.

Strange Letters
04:14
|
|||
Strange letters keep coming to my door
With words from a man, in the hand, of a girl he knew before
Although they’re not mine, each line
Is like a song I’ve heard before
That played in a day when we weren’t so tall and tired
The kid in a crib all tender meek and mild
Before he went into the wild
And then we grow old
The things that go away
Stay until we’re gone
Strange sounds keep coming through the floor
They sound like a voice through the phone
From a life I used to know
He spoke in a way, with a gaze
That made me bare in what I wore
That song that played when we acted unrehearsed
Each line, intertwined with each thorn in every word
And we felt it like a curse
And then we grow old
The things we can’t hold onto
Were never really ours
Strange letters keep coming to my door
Don’t know who they’re for anymore
‘Cause the girl’s been gone so long
She used to sing ‘bout a thing
That she heard on the radio
The part of the song that made her feel so alone
The line that brought her back to the one she knew before
When she opened up the door
And then she grew old
The things I threw away
Are there until I’m gone

Russian Smile
04:14
|
|||
Release me now I know what to do
Take care of my things before you
Unlock the door, I’m ready to run
transfixed at first but only once, I’m only half undone
I’ve got a Russian smile and comatose eyes but I mean well most of the time
When I say nothing, what I’m trying to say is that I miss you most of the time
Ya I miss you most of the time
Step back a bit, you’re talking too close
I know this part and where it goes
So forget me now, I’m already gone
We’re just talking to ourselves I said to myself I guess
I’ve got a Russian smile and comatose eyes but I mean well most of the time
When I say nothing, what I’m trying to say is that I miss you most of the time
Ya I miss you most of the time
How hard can it be to be with someone
How strange can it be to see I’m only half undone
I’ve got a Russian smile and comatose eyes but I mean well most of the time
When I say nothing, what I’m trying to say is that I miss you most of the time
Ya I’ve got a Russian smile and comatose eyes but I mean well most of the time
When I say nothing, what I’m trying to say is that I missed you all of this time
Ya I miss you all of the time
Ya I miss you all of the time
Ya I miss you all of the time

Waited Too Long
02:31
|
|||
May have waited too long to find the time
May have gone at it wrong
In the night shadows split in two
Away from us
May have waited too long to see the sun
Should have charted it out
But tonight I fall into the sea
Could have taken the high road out
Could have taken it in but tonight
I fall into the hole
To where we go

Carnival
02:52
|
|||
I can’t believe you came here
I can’t believe it’s true
I can’t believe that as time goes by
It was never really you
I can’t forget the morning
Shadows on the wall
Nothing seems to fade away
Like the ribbon on your back door
And I can’t understand
When a child is born
The wheel still takes its spin
I can’t understand
How it goes away
And I still don’t know where I am
And I can’t understand
When the rain comes down
And nothing even hurts at all
Nothing changes over time
So I’ll be singing of you.
