about a half a tank from home
and I laid on the sidewalk
and thought maybe the wold world
and all it has to give is right here
she played me guitar
while I stood in the bathroom
looking in the mirror and wondering
why am I so lost
when I know where I am
in a dark backyard
singing to a friend?
sometimes her eyes catch the moon
and then all I have is that glance
so in the street after the show
I told her I'd walk home
she got in the car
but I wonder if
she thought about it first
most times I know
that she's in love with some one else
but there's been a few times
where I couldn't tell
I think I fell in love
with that town
but I still ran home
just as fast as I knew how
to forget my new
favorite face in the whole world

the sinking sun

that sun's gonna sink down
slowly
I know I wanna fall in love
but no one is gonna trip me
I was born into this marriage
and I'll never escape it
you were right about one thing
if I am gonna change
I should just change
and truly know and love my wife
she is fear and comfort at the same time

this day came to my life
like the wind
on the hottest night of summer
and through her eyes
I opened up to the truth
and it was a love of all my fears
I jumped in the lake
it was weird and scary
but just like a stranger's eyes
I cam to know
it as a good friend of mine
true love and comfort
in the darkest days
a new friend in a stranger's face
up here where the light
comes from the past
in the sky above our heads
I have learned
so much to see you carry
all your hope in those small hands
a bat flew over our heads
and I jumped up to catch it
you screamed at first
and then we all smiled
and took a minute to get
the telescope on track
bright ghosts of dead stars
so far away
true love in the darkest days

looking forever

everything is getting so much smaller
I'm a giant in the world
I know I can't stay
I want to so bad
but I know I'll never fit
and my friends are growing so strong
enough to pick me up
and throw me off this rock
there used to be a girl
who'd sing to me in my sleep
she'd say that we'd grow old together
we'd tough it out or die
I don't wanna be too big to breathe
so throw me in the sky
I always had my eyes on it at night
I think I almost know
what it's like to be alone
I'll tell you if I come back home
the sky is just a girl
and I'm leaving my whole world
because I can't remember it
that I'm looking forever
the sky is just a girl
I'll know when I find her

sing out to the sun

I watched the sun fall down
it hit the earth
and lit up the whole town
we were underground
and safe and sound
I held your hand tight
as we climbed through
the whole world to find
our house burned down
in the sun, it drowned
I'm sure this sunlight is poison
but we can make it pure again
you laughed and looked up
at the sky
and you whispered to me
"than we'll both die
because it's too dark to live
and too cold to love."
but I sang
"this is what we prayed for
a dead world to lay our golden eggs on.
to teach it how to sing out loud
you're my only love
and I am only yours"

when clouds die
03:58
|
|

the sky it's full of clouds today
they're heavy but not ready to rain
they've seen so many mountains
and this is just another day
but they were made to live
pulling that weight
my hands got lost in the water
that I pulled from the faucet in the kitchen
I wanna tell you everything
but instead I'll go to sleep
or at least pretend I am
when I hear the phone ring
this world it can't forgive itself yet
it build a wall up high out of all
the things it hid
and I was raised frozen in the middle
of that cement fence
so I'm sorry if I'm rough like a stone is
it will all be the same
the river never stops flowing
when clouds die
water falls from the sky
and I'm soaking it all up
because that's just how it is
when I met you
it scared me half to death
I'm not sure if it scared you
but I hope it did
nothing's been this strong
and I don't want it to end
but you already go that plane ticket

the top of the sky
01:35
|
|

|
just for a moment now
I swore I had nothing at all
in my pockets
and I rose to the top
of the sky like in a swimming pool
or I was buried under the grass
and I climbed out
to forget everything I've learned
and I sang one bright shining thing
I brought with me from beneath
it was no one dies
because there's no one
there's only all of us
and we're alive forever

be bear

the whole world
wants it easy
nobody does nothing for free
anymore
we/they wanna forget
how to survive
on our own all alone in the night
because when there's no record playing
it can get scary
up in those wild wild woods the only song
is your heart and how it's beating
listen close
does it go how you thought?
there was a wild time
and still can be a naked earth
we can remember how to be bare
and change the words
to the song of our hearts

truly true
01:55
|
|
||
|
as does the moon
die each night
so will this picturesque view
of our past
and what we thought we knew
about true love
and what true lovers do
I was blind to the love I had for you
back when I tried to share it
I didn't know how to
but you should just know
it was truly true
