Ride Home
03:47
|
|||
You let me see the map
But there was no compass rose
So when you told me to go back
See, I just couldn't find the road
So I stood there all abandoned
In the middle of the woods
Screaming through the trees
That I would go back if I could
But I can't and I won't
You missed the boat
And I'll miss my ride home
So I tried to leave in darkness
Using stars now as a guide
Staring into all that nothing
It felt like a look inside
So I sat and had a chat
With each and every constellation
They told me not to expect you
Waiting for me at the station
But I can't and I won't
You missed the boat
And I'll miss my ride home
Something in the cards told me this was coming
Under all those stars, only starlight humming
Think of all the time that you could have saved us
It happens all the time, and who could blame us?
I just can't and I won't
You missed the boat
And I'll miss my ride home
I just thought you should know
You missed the boat
And I'll miss my ride home

Fly Along
03:51
|
|||
My stomach is always twisted up in knots
From happiness or a heavy heart
And I chose this path I'm on
Without understanding what I really want
So I fly along
I fly along
I fly along
Hey there, young one, would you spin a yarn?
Any chance I might've had is now long gone
And if a rose is very vain
Should I love it just the same?
Should I take the bait?
Should I take the bait?
Can such a thing be tamed?
Now I am taken by surprise
By your laughter, by your eyes
Laugh for me just one more time
Make me childish, make me wise
Then we'll say goodbye
Then we'll say goodbye
Then we'll say goodbye

History & Art
05:23
|
|||
Do you wonder how this happened?
Do you picture where I sleep?
Can you feel it all unwinding
Secrets that I can barely keep?
Can you feel me all withdrawing?
There is poison in my blood
And by proximity you surely will be injured by my cut
The only thing I ever felt for you is all my love
My love, we are bound by history and art
I only understood after tearing us apart
My love, I have found myself a bit too far
From home after my travels
Now let me rest my weary heart
You said it would be empty
But there was water in the well
It was waiting there to find us ever since before we fell
It was waiting there to find us ever since before we fell
It's everything I need and nothing more because, my love
My love, we are bound by history and art
I only understood after tearing us apart
My love, I have found myself a bit too far
From home after my travels
Now let me rest my weary heart
I have loved you more each day
Though I'm not sure I can return
And spending time with you
Taught me a different way to learn
The nature of my being
We heard wolves howling at the moon
Or when I heard your heavy breathing
As I "slept" across the room
My love, I believe I am coming to the end
I only understood how to break but never bend
Please grant me reprieve
Hey now, could you be a friend?
I let it all unravel
Could you forgive me yet again?

Tamed/What Do You Know
04:27
|
|||
It feels like it's been forever
It hasn't been long at all
And despite genuine efforts
We have gotten nothing done
The bolts have all gone rusty
They came loose during the fall
Now I cannot take them out
Or tighten them at all
We are running out of water
Please accept the last of it
I'd rather you survive
And I die swallowing my spit
"But sir, you are too hasty
I have questions yet for you
Can't you see that you have tamed me
And our hope may yet be true?"
I could kiss the clouds
For bringing us shade
Some respite from the heat
This momentum shift seems
Insurmountable
Like quitting might be worth it now
I carried your body
For days and days
I hoped to quench your thirst
But for all the ground we covered
The cause was all but lost
You consistently insisted it was not
Just when I could not stand
Another moment more
It appeared before us there
With pulley, rope, and pail
The way the water danced
Was impossible to take for granted
Where are you frome?
What do you know that I don't?
Where did you learn it,
And what is your heart made of
To keep such perfect secrets hid?

Count The Stars
04:28
|
|||
First I met a man, he tried to count the stars
He figured they were his, and he made it his whole business
Couldn't look away for fear of losing count
And so he never learned they were something he could do without
For all of the trying and fighting you can't make it so
There is no use in crying, there's some things we may never know
The next man that I met had a different kind of fear
By focusing on maps he got stuck sitting there
And I'm not sure if he had ever left his chair
But he knew plenty of stories of others who had dared
For all of the trying and fighting you can't make it so
There is no use in crying, there's some things we may never know
To get what you're after there's some things you'll have to let go
As for me, I will wait in the meantime for changes to show
Then I met a king as kind as kind could be
But he reveled in his power and rained/reigned over the sea
It was my burden to bear, to deliver him the news
That his obedient ocean was faithful to the moon
For all of the trying and fighting you can't make it so
There is no use in crying, there's some things we may never know
To get what you're after there's some things you'll have to let go
As for me, I will wait in the meantime for changes to show

How Could I Have Known
05:21
|
|||
When I was a kid I spent my evenings at her place
How could I not fall in love with such a pretty face?
Then one time over dinner she mentioned that she was straight
After that I dropped it
And never talked about it
For fear that I might frighten her away
One time at a party she asked me up to her room
I thought she wanted company, too drunk to see the truth
We fell asleep talking by the blue light of the moon
But I left in the morning
Without a word or warning
I guess that you could say I was confused
How could I have known
That you were feeling it too?
I needed adventure so I explored a foreign land
I couldn’t have felt luckier when she became my friend
She made me feel like I could make a home of desert sand
She took a liking to me
I know she saw right through me
Now I regret not kissing her back then
I regret not kissing her back then
I regret not kissing her back then
How could I have known
That you were feeling it too?

The Fountain
05:23
|

Remember the fountain, it’s spilling like words from my mouth
And you hear me but can’t figure out
What I mean by my metaphors, or when, why, or how
We arrived at this place so far outside of town
I know you see it, just like you did
Out under the stars back when we were just kids
The magic that moved us when we took a dip
In the fountain, the water put stars on your lips
And I felt you growing with every step that I’d take
Your limbs were like leaves in the water that shiver and shake
And I kissed you not knowing just how much was truly at stake
It was as if I’d been sleeping and only then was I awake
It is still calling us each day and night
Through all the love-making and every fight
There is more than we mortals can see with our eyes
But the fountain will clean us and bring us new life
And I felt you growing with every step that I’d take
Your limbs were like leaves in the water that shiver and shake
And I kissed you not knowing just how much was truly at stake
It was as if I’d been sleeping and only then was I awake
Remember the fountain, it’s spilling like words from my mouth
And you hear me but can’t figure out
What I mean by my metaphors, or when, why, or how
We arrived at this place so far outside of town

Call Me Out
03:55
|
|||
One day I’ll pick up my guitar
And write the song that I’ve been hoping for
But not today
I wonder if I’ve been deceived
By all my wondrous, wild, hopeless dreams
I cannot say
I’d like to write it all for you
To tell the world what we’ve been going through
But it’s too much
And who’d believe me anyway?
I feel like my whole life has become fake
So call my bluff
Call me out and call me home
Where is that? I do not know
The curtain has been lifted on my blindness
I cannot yet trust my sight
I used to pick up pretty girls
You came along and now you are the world
To me, you know
And now you say you’re different
That you’ll turn around and change your whole existence
But will it show?
We need a little honesty
To step into the light so we can see
What we’ve become
But some things never change
What will happen if we try to rearrange
And the puzzle remains undone?
Call me out and call me home
Where is that? I do not know
The curtain has been lifted on my blindness
I cannot yet trust my sight

In Another Lifetime
02:42
|
|||
Were you taken from me?
Did you leave of your own accord?
Would you hasten again to me
In another lifetime?
Is there truth contained
In the innocence of your lore?
I swear I can hear your laugh
In the stars at nighttime
Now the wheat reminds me of you
And a rose reminds me of you
And I long for darkness
Just so I can hear you
And for every star I see
I imagine a planet overgrown with trees
And I long for silence
But the stars keep shining
