Simple, Beautiful
02:48
|

i feel so good today
thunderheads are roiling far away
simple, beautiful you are
so let your hair hang down
keep an open mind
and maybe tonight...
who knows what you'll find
yeah let your hair fall free
focus on right now
and maybe in time...
i'm yours and you're mine

If I Were
03:43
|
|||
|
if i were a part of you
would i be any different from all the other ones you knew before i came along?
or would something altogether new ensue?
perhaps you're looking for another lover undercover
or maybe you think you've been found
but as for me, i've got a mind to know what's going on inside
who do you think you are and who do you want to be?
do you feel that you can get there all by your lonesome?
is it your secret desire to invite me in and let me stoke the fire?
because i will
you only need to ask
we're better together

The High Life
03:21
|
|||
|
i don't believe i could fly tomorrow
but perhaps if i'm nice i could borrow some wings from you
learn a few things from you
and in time, love
i'll be swooping through the clouds like a dove
the ground beneath me, so distant, so neatly laid out for me to alight
teach me to live the high life
punctuated only by moments of silence
breaking like the waves on the eastern shoreline
every time
steady
fine
i know you've been waiting for me to strike gold
please trust i'm mining vigorously
but it's slow
you've gotta pan all the streams when you're trying to find the seem
but if you're anxious to redeem all your time...
teach me to live the high life
punctuated only by moments of silence
breaking like the waves on the eastern shoreline
every time
steady
fine
waiting on a moment is like tying yourself to a stiff-backed chair and praying to a token of false promises, promising they'll be there
teacher, teach me the high life
punctuated by moments
breaking steady while the moon turns the tides

In Between Neuroses
03:13
|
|||
|
lady, you're driving me crazy
when you go away i'm as lost as i can ever remember
and then you come home and i can't regain my equilibrium
there's so much going on
it's been hard to spit out any songs
i think i've got a problem or three
so can you fix me?
or maybe just tell me that you love me?
you know that i'm no good at waiting...
but if you want me still, even in spite of all my flaws
i'll be yours
upon the windowsill
stretching out to your summertime draw
hoping it never goes away
i've got my heart set on when you get the time to get lost with me again
there's so much here just begging to be explored
we could go south
we could go north
it's all academic just so long as we're not sedentary
my lady and me finding some love and some peace in between neuroses
my lady and me minding the wine and the cheese
is it time to pull the cork yet?
my lady and me finding some love and some peace
in between neuroses

Hey Yeah
02:45
|
|||
|
hey yeah
you give me love
and everybody's saying it
and it feels...
hey yeah
you give me love
on a lazy sunday morning
and it heals...
i'm afraid i'll falter, bring you down with me, and spoil a chance for you to shine
i'm feeling false before your purity and it shows
the crux of our love
hey yeah
you give me love
a sweet breeze from a distant city
and it's real

Winter Is Coming
03:13
|
|||
|
summer is old and gone
yet the rains are warm
still, a friend should not be made of the wind with the winter closing in
please, lover, don't you be late
i'm afraid this won't wait
it grows heavier with each passing day
and i don't know what i'm feeling anymore...

Stormy Weather
02:50
|
|||
|
it's all fucking wrong
it has been from the start
i rationalize away the better judgements of my heart
string myself along
i've always love the chains
clinging to the hope until there's nothing that remains
i know my face betrays it but there's no good way to say it
for now i'm gonna try to delay it but soon i'll have to brave it
only you can make me feel as insignificant as i do
these are trying times
the work is never done and there's not enough of you for anyone
but when the flood subsides i'll be as lost as ever
never sure that i'll survive this stormy weather
if only you only knew

Drown
03:43
|
|||
|
i stand next to you and you're next to me
but where do we really stand?
i'm through with the games and the mystery
it's time for me to untangle my hands
and i believe you don't mean me any harm
and i believe you don't know what you've done
but i can't let you down so i'll probably drown
i've waited for you to come around
time after time and time again
your favorite who?
coming unbound
withering now

Save Me
05:50
|
|||
|
a week of injury fades into a week of rain as miles of misery play a familiar game
and oh, i'm all alone
and oh, hardening stone
so come on over and save me
i won't slow you down
be my rainy day baby
i'll be your lost and found
suddenly i'm awake again and all that i really want is rest
i'm making the same mistakes again
stalled out and unconfessed
and baby you're killing me
a tangerine too far for me to reach
and maybe the memories deserted me
but don't you ever leave
|

Walk On
04:41
|
|||
|
i could wait
i could wait all night for you to come to your window so i could see your face in the light
and i don't know
i don't have any information
but come with me and we'll go to a place where the world is patient
it's all wide open
it's all wide open from here
but who, what, where will i be as i'm walking down the years?
and i hope that i will see you there
i'd hate to have to walk on...
if you stay
if you stay here without me
i don't know what i'll do
i'm gonna be a wreck, believe me
well i don't wanna know
so throw on some clothes and meet me outside for a little rock and roll
with the wind at our backs and a wave goodbye

Kiss and Make Up
02:42
|
|||
|
we don't always see eye to eye
no we don't always see eye to eye
but i want you to know that i know even though i'm taller that don't mean i'm always right
we can't always keep from a fight
no we can't always keep from a fight
but when i say "i'm sorry"
i mean it
i'm sorry
you know how much i hate to see you cry
[you know i need your love]
[you know i need your love]
[if i wait one thousand and one nights]
[that will be my life]
[and it won't be wasted because you will be mine]
baby i know how you try
[i know how you try]
yeah baby i know how you try
[i know how you try]
between us two, it's you that's blessed with the patience, so wait for me
[i will wait for you]
and in time we'll get it right
[yes i know we'll get it right]

Mollie Oh
03:26
|
|||
|
well, i was in the middle of writing a very different kind of song
but i decided it wasn't what you needed, so i turned right around
i dropped the minor key
put some bounce in the melody
and set to building a lovely refrain for my lovely lady
mollie oh
the sun is a-shining and the winter is gone away for now
and i know you've been tired so made you a little pick-me-up
so tell me, darling, what is it you want right now most of all
is it the sun, or the moon, or the ocean, or maybe just a nap
if some rest is what you need
i'll do my best to mime a tree
and provide a little bit of shade from your daily scene
let me see you smile
let me see you smile like the whole world just up and flew away
let me see you smile
let me see you smile like you know i'm yours and you're my mollie oh
