Cold Mornings
04:03
|
|||
I feel like I came out here for nothing,
I feel like everyone’s ashamed.
I hear the oceans breathing salty California,
Man I sure could use a change.
I think that one more frozen morning in Chicago,
Is gonna put me in a state.
But you don’t wanna leave and I,
I don’t wanna stay.
And there’s no sense in looking through the paper,
Or giving creed to what it would say.
I never thought I’d leave reference for fiction,
But I think that’s all the bad news I can take.
Sorting through old photos on my living room floor,
And trying to recognize a face…
It gets harder every year as they almost disappear from my mind.
Concede just one more day
The excuses to just hold on
Cause you don’t wanna leave and I…
I don’t wanna stay.
And I know that I’ll never change your mind,
But I know I can’t wait.

Sudden Realization
03:45
|

When was the last time that you came to that sudden realization?
Staring back at you in a department store window, and mirroring that somber face.
When was the last time that you knew you were ready for tomorrow?
Racing for each breath that can’t come soon, soon enough to catch me.
And I made a mess of this I know, but I think I can make amends.
Forgiveness is oh so close to you, but such soreness will break and bend the best.
I think this is the last time I’ll tell you exactly what I’m thinking.
I’d rather shut that door than let what little light in,
Melting all this trust that’s left and gone.

In Passing
02:26
|
|||
Last summer was something I could confess,
Those days runnin together makin a mess of my head.
And the world I couldn’t feel beneath, and the future was so hard to believe in.
Outside a falsetto breeze sings to me:
“Hey twenty-three’s not so late, yeah thirty-three’s ten years away.”
And now as I walk with out a leash, heavy cumbrous thoughts wear on my knees.
And you, you watched your chance scatter free.
Don’t tell me it’s easier this way when to me, it seemed like, we never knew what we were gonna do next.

One Foot Out The Door
03:47
|
|||
I know you'll forgive me somehow,
but its gonna take some time
Meet me in a year or two from now,
where I'm sure I'll have more I can apologize for
They say enjoy life's little highs
don't let the lows get you too down
Cause I'd rather suffer through tonight
Then let this linger all my life
And I can't believe the time that's passed me by
another drink or two ought to jog my mind
I'm sick of hanging here and buyin the lines
so with one foot out the door I looked around
Waved goodbye
there's nothin left for me here now
Cause there's things in life that you can't hide
Or ever let go and now...
And I can't believe the time that's passed me by
another drink or two and I'll be blind
I'm sick of hanging here and buyin the lines
so with one foot out the door I turned around
And waved goodbye
(Let's find a way someday, somehow)

The Bridge
03:39
|
|||
I wish our words rhymed like lines we'd read in a play
but no one really talks that way
And I wish I could expel your worried thoughts away
but no one really thinks that way
And oh how the weather will be turnin
and oh how you fear the change
But if we make it through the winter
Spring could melt our troubles away
Don't let all of your little sorrows
wash your love down the drain
You've moved on to clenching your fists in rage
And I'm sorry that you feel that way
and now you're demanding an answer
and I've got little too explain
but maybe...
If we make it through the winter
Spring could melt our troubles away
Don't let all of your little sorrows
wash your world down the drain

Until We Dream
04:02
|
|||
I just let my troubles get the best of me,
Cause yesterday's I put off till today
Dismissive and too stubborn to regret it
I’m angled too obtuse
You let your good heart walk all over you,
While other folks won’t give you the time of day
I wonder if there’s something buried in all of us,
Like habits we can’t break…
Until we dream
And goin through the motions doesn’t appeal to me,
But I can’t just throw caution to the wind
I wonder if there’s something on the other side,
Something you close your eyes to see
Oh I hope you’re picturing it now…
Brilliant color swallowing the black and cold and empty
Until we dream…
Are we free…

I Guess I Was Wrong
03:30
|
|||
A hard cold stare lookin me over
On a face that I know you wouldn’t wear sober.
And it hurts, but its life and I know
That it’s harder to face alone.
And it plays in my mind over and over.
So it’s hard for me now
To keep my head level.
And I wish I could paint us a new world,
But I know I could paint my self in a corner.
Well Jesus Christ, no one told me it could be so hard
Seen only twenty-two years and walkin around thinking
I knew it all.
But shalalala, I guess I was wrong.
But I, I’ll find my love again.

Solace

9. |

It reaches us all like carpet spread wall to wall.
Chasing a dream, you’ve lived all alone
In moments scattered between there and now.
But autumn can’t cure summer blues
So sick of breakin bad news
It leaves you pacin dust covered floors.
Watching the light creep under the door.
And the pressure relieved from your longest day,
Relax now let go and embrace…
But autumn can’t cure summer blues
So sick of breakin bad news
And the conversation I lose
Cause nothings the same without you
(Nothings the same)
(Conversations I’ll lose)
Sleep has found you now…
