Love Come Home
03:15
|
|||
|
The birds and the bees
and the flowers on the trees, only buds
I'm falling in love
with the light, and the warmth, and the sun
The winter's breath
that I won't miss
He said goodbye
I said good riddance
The rain and the mud
and the seeds coming up from the ground
The April showers
promising may flowers, soon enough now
The green that grows
Everywhere
The way the light's coming through
your hair
oh, hear the dandelion's roar
oh, the Earth begins to groan
Love has come home

Always Pushing
03:06
|
|||
|
I can feel the heartbeat
Always pushing up inside me
It's shoving through my bloodstream
A violent surge within my body
As it's rising to the surface
Always pushing up, can't fight this
All self-control completely worthless
I let it go, I let it go, I let it go
Always there's something weighing me down
(I know what it is, but I'm too scared to say out loud)
Always there's someone calling me out
(But in the end I always seem to prove them wrong)
Always there's something blocking the way
(I'll overcome mountains or obstacles man-made)
Always there's something pushing me down
But I can't be kept down, no! I can't be kept down
Always pushing up inside me
Always pushing up, can't fight this!!!

Something Better
03:21
|

|
I took a walk just in case you called
(I changed the way that I looked at life)
Each step-crunch reminded me of fall
(You had me stuck in a maze that I thought was right)
The sky was clear and the stars grew bright
(Now I sit here waiting for the answers to come)
My thoughts crawled off into the night
(Hoping that one day I will find one)
I need something better now
I need something I can count on
I had a dream, I saw the sun and moon
(Maybe, oh baby, if I just let go)
Lovers' lives passed, did you dream it too?
(I could close these curtains of clarity)
I took a cab and a young man drove
(Because with them open I could never see)
I told him: "find your love, just find your home"
(I've made my choice, and this is me)
I need something better now
I need something I can count on
I need something better now
I need something I can count on
I need something better now
I need something I can count on

Hunters
02:17
|

The hunter shoots
the bullet leaves the barrel
it travels straight and narrow
upon determined path
the seconds stop
the bullet breaks the taut skin
lodged in the muscle within
the predetermined home
oh, I played a childish game
the green light changed
the car continues faster
the timinig he thought he'd mastered
realize! apply the brakes
but metal crunch
colliding steel and concrete
levae bloodstains on the main street
the predetermined calm
oh, I played a childish
fall in love
the deer, the naive driver
were they equally suicidal?
you fall too fast, she'll never know
oh, I played a childish game

I Know
03:46
|
|||
|
Well I got the call
straight to my head
And I took the shot
Unexpected
I know that you were hoping I'd see things your way
I know that you assumed that I'd give in someday
Well I saw the sea
beat down on shore
And I felt the Earth
shake my core
I know that you were always claiming greater roots
But they saw that you were only twisting truth
oh, Lord
I know, I know, I know

Star Gazing
03:00
|
|||
|
We sat outside my house, on top your car
You said you weren't sure which lights were planes and which were stars
We talked about driving up to New York
but we had both been up that way before
You said that you did not feel regret
You even hinted that you were a little glad
I was sorry, but I could not say the same
So I did not say anything
If you wanted blood
Just to taste it once
Just to feel the rush
Then unload your gun
Because your fire-eyes
Give away your pride
When the guilty side has won

Roadtrip Song

Something
The great beyond
Hide underneath the covers
You're too scared
to move along
Up to all of your old tricks, again
I've seen, I've heard it all
It's coming from a dark depth
Your heart, twisted on
Self-righteous: sever family ties
Oh, and when it all comes burning down
You're still right here
Oh, you're waiting for the ashes to
rebuild themselves
Oh, the threat never a threat at all
Your honor scared
Oh, and when it all comes burning down
You're still around, always around
Some time
Long ago
Running through the scenery
Forget the apropos
Because falling in love's so easy
I've seen, I've heard it all
A week spent in the country
Your heart: broken, gone
Are you hiding or just hungry?
Oh, and when it all comes burning down
You're still right here
Oh, you're waiting for the ashes to
rebuild themselves
Oh, the threat never a threat at all
Your honor scared
Oh, and when it all comes burning down
You're still around, always around
And if it's something that you cannot tell
Some secret that you cannot spill
You know that the truth seeks out those who hide
who hide, who hide

City At Night
02:17
|
|||
|
Returning home under the stars
Spare toll booth change inside your car
How much was left, I still don't know
Through everything, we made it home
On the El we talked about
my old band, your summer job
I wanted just to hold your hand
Play one more song, Mr. Bazan
Sprawled out across Lake Michigan
A second chance, I sink; can't swim
The sand, the heat, the summer air:
If we brought doubt, we left it there
Falling asleep, the long drive home
Another shoulder: comfort calls
I wanted just to be so near
Instead I watched through rear-view mirrors

In the summer heat we shed our shoes behind the door
So we could feel the grass between our toes
The summer air fell hot, hung all our memories on a wire
Like clothes set out to dry all afternoon
She laughed and said that she could feel my heart beat through my chest
I whispered I can’t help myself with you
And as the red brown orange leaves returned back to the earth
We went our separate ways until next year
I know now
What the summer tried to teach us
What our parents tried to warn us all about
I know now
What was hiding in the shadows
Of the trees that guarded our eyes
From the sun
God is good and grace is free
And love is real and everything
Is working out to reveal a greater plan
