Intro #3
01:39
|
|||
|
Is this what you saw at the end of the day?
Is this what you heard, when you asked me to stay?
Is this what you felt, when I was walking away?
Is this what you did? Alright. Ok
Cause everything fades in the light of the sun
And now I know what you want to be done

Everything We Got Right
03:00
|
|||
|
If you're wondering about yourself,
then come on in. The water's warm enough, finally
You always waited on your friends,
but they sped away on flaming darts of love
So what do you have left?
That weekend in versailles?
So what do you have left?
The gentle pleasures of you and I
The night is cooling off,
leaving trails. Subtle traces, left behind
And you're counting on your hands
The moon is marching, unmistakable and high
So what do you have left?
Some paper in a box?
So what do you have left?
The quiet ticking of the clocks
So what do you have left?
The promise of the night?
So what do you have left?
Everything that we got right

Start over
This isn't the only thing
Hit rewind
I'm standing next to you
It isn't a failure of nerve or a response to fear, a tendency to flight I know
This isn't me standing next to you
This isn't me standing next to you
I know what you know and I'm sorry
I know what you know
It's always first and last and a failure to connect, I drop the line I drop the line
It's always my fault and your fault and everybody's watching, everybody's watching
Try something, try nothing, it's all the same to me
Slow down and try something new, like in a dream
Give it meaning, give it shape - your shape is what you have
But where should we begin
Where should we begin
Where should we

Pickups
05:28
|
|||
|
Start with the facts
Use details much too small
Substitute white for black
Say you called or didn't call
Try and get the rewrite right
Find the misc-en-scene
Trap the corner with the light
Say you know what makes us lean
Taller. Faster. Ready to get it right
Pickups in the fading light
Flickers on the screen
Stage directions: "drive all night"
Hope that this take's clean
Close it down and make the rounds
Hands and shoulders, minds and hearts
The art is in the trying
The acting's just a part
Better. Later. When we fall asleep

Fidelity
03:08
|
|||
|
You know it won't be the last time that I call you even if I say it will
And you know I'm only holding out for a little more fidelity
And just because you've got me on a string doesn't mean I shouldn't have the best of you
And if I ask for a little more time or happiness - all the things you have the power to give
Does it mean that you should walk all over me, or should I take away your shoes?
And just because you have the power to hurt me, baby, doesn't mean that you have to
And I will take it in if it's mine. And if I suffer, I'll do it quietly
And I will take it in if it's mine. And if I suffer, I'll do it quietly

A Knee-Jerk Reaction
02:58
|
|||
|
The songs of the harpers are settling into my ears and I can hear the dusk in their fingers, and I think it's beautiful
So having a reason to ask you a question is only the tip of the iceberg, but everything is settling on you
And even if I'm insane and you're to blame, I would love to, I would love to
And you can see that singing to me is a waste - I'm already floating and
in the clouds, I'm allowed to be circling,
and my circumference is everything you need it to be
So drifting comes easy if the only thing you have that's holding you down is miles away from here
And everyone's asking for you and you're thinking it might be worth a minute or two, since you're here anyway
And even if I'm wrong and you'll come along, I would love to, I would love to
And if you think that I'm needing a drink than you're probably right if you're leaving tonight,
and in my car we're falling apart again,
and I think I'm tired but I'm everything that you need me to be

Last Night, Remembered
05:20
|
|||
|
On the other side of you is where I walk into a room,
even when you're not there.
And our theme can be erased and disappear without a trace,
every day is so unfair.
Can't you see I'm waiting?
Can't you hear me there?
Can't you see I'm waiting?
"However long I ever stay I never really go away,"
those were the words you said to me.
And if I took it kind of hard, that's how you know you hit the mark,
but I don't know any other way to see.
Don't you know I'm waiting?
Do you even care?
Don't you know I'm waiting?
I can see so clear...
One more time you came to me with a gift I couldn't see,
it was ok just to alive.
Blowing softly on my skin, the only way we can begin,
and you knowing not to cry.
Can't you see I'm waiting?
Don't you know I'm there?
Can't you see I'm waiting?
Always blowing signals through the air.

Reversal
03:32
|
|||
|
Spinning around in the sunlight,
how could I ever forget?
The bright cleansing rays falling on you,
we hadn't messed it up yet
And I was under your wing,
and you were under my spell
I still remember that day,
its siren song looming and still
The last thing you said was the right thing to say,
even if you still don't see it that way, and
if we're frozen in time, then why do I like it?
I wish you wouldn't try so hard to fight it
Every mark I laid on you
abstracts and fades over time
And it abandons its place
in this one perfect moment of mine
I won't try and pretend
the flavor is something that lasts
But I remember that day,
pulling me into the past
The mark on the wall where we both tried to hide it
The place where I lay down my head every night
We'll kill ourselves trying to pretend that we like it
The only thing left is to say it's alright
The only thing left is to say it's alright
The only thing left is to say it's alright

Sweep the Leg, Jonny
02:09
|
|||
|
You'll never find someone who cares this much about you
I spend all my time just making sure that it's true
Sweep the leg, Jonny. Figure out just what is what
Just the other day I came over right when you called
It's the little things that sometimes mean nothing at all
Sweep the leg, Jonny. I know someday you will deserve it
And only I know what you want, and what you need
The others they don't understand you
That you give them the time of day makes my hair stand on end
And I don't know what to do
I can overlook the many ways you're letting me down
But it's almost the same as if you were watching me drown
Sweep the leg, Jonny. I think you might as well
And if this is the end
I don't have time for it
You know... I only have time for you
|
||||
10. |
||||
|
I want to be there with you
I want to be there with you
I want to be there with you
But it's not the only thing I'll do
Because I'm alive,
and I can see all the streetlights,
and I can walk in the darkness,
but I know that everything will be all right

Rum is a Bad Idea
03:46
|
|||
|
You can feel sorry for yourself,
standing on the back porch, overlooking
your better self
If it isn't easier to imagine when we both were here.
Then make me disappear
And summer is the best time,
to leave it all behind,
when you ask me,
in your smallest voice:
"Will you stay over,
will you stay over,
or do you have to go so soon?"
It isn't a problem until it's a problem for you
You can clap me on the back,
as you pour us another drink from the endless sea
But I can hear how scared,
how along you think we can be
When you say to me:
"Will you stay over,
will you stay over,
or do you have to go so soon?"
It isn't a problem until it's a problem for you
When you feel sorry for yourself,
take a long walk to another place,
if you can't outpace,
that almost certain feeling you get,
that every thought is such a waste
And you'll notice that I never said,
the way you feel is out of place
And when I stay over,
when I stay over,
I don't have to go so soon - I don't work till noon
And I'm sorry for all we had to drink,
it didn't help me think

While Nothing Happens
02:21
|
|||
|
Everything, everything, everything that's happening now points towards the last time that we were all together, and all that you said
And I've been going over it, write it out to waste my time, if I sit here while nothing happens and no one calls
But if I say that I'm sorry, will you say you were wrong?
It's a trap and I'm falling, and it won't be fixed by a song that says that I'll be here when you come calling, so you won't have to even look
|

A Song
02:16
|
|||
|
If you find the answers out,
you shouldn't ever write them down,
and print them out for anyone else to see.
Cause they will take it away from you,
and they won't ever tell the truth,
as they come back home and wave their arms by degrees.
And they'll say:
"We knew it all the time and you only made it rhyme, and that's as easy as ABC."
"We knew it all along and you nearly got it wrong, but we found the truth for ourselves and set it free. No thanks to you."
So this is a poem, or maybe a song, or it could be a leaflet.
But if it's true, no thanks to you - I think I'll keep it to myself.

Grow Wings Like Everyone
04:23
|
|||
|
Water can't take us where we need to go
Sinking with a paddle always comes too slow
Grow wings like an angel and take to flight
And I'll try to catch you when you hit the light
Stop signs and hard crimes never made you lame
But you tried to convince me of another name
And when you need a jetstream, you know I will provide
Lifting and falling with the smallest ride
Once you were true, but now an alibi
takes the place of the memory that you tried to hide
And I might have an answer I found in the dark,
but you have to ask me, you have to ask me, you have to ask me
And everyone can see what you do to me
And it's getting later and we're getting older, like everyone
And this is a waste of time, but it's also the answer. It's the answer

Open Windows
07:49
|
|||
|
I saw something by the window
I see something by the door
Are you losing - have you lost it?
Or are you coming back for more?
Even faster, even hotter, than what you left for me to find
Dirty footsteps on my pillow
Broken hearts are on my mind
And you know all I ask of you is this
And you know standing silently is easy to resist
Empty pages speaking volumes
Treasures left for me to find
And open windows mean nothing unless you slip inside
I'm not one for lighting candles
I'm not one for telling truths
But every breath is soft beside me and picking up steam. I'm picking up steam
And you know all I ask of you is this
And you know standing silently is easy to resist

The Lions
01:58
|
|||
|
When the lions show their teeth,
and open doorways like their jaws,
you aren't getting any farther than the corner where I left you
And don't you know I told you?
I told you to be scared
When you set off on your own,
you think you can move faster,
but that's why they're there, to remind you that I'm here
And don't you know you need me?
To navigate this jungle
To take you where it's quiet
To where we've always been
