the new part where i go
04:44

Well I think I’ve lived here long enough
And I guess I know the things I came to learn
And it’s been alright
Yeah it’s been just fine
But I made it to the part where I go
Yeah I made up the new part where I go
The days are the same
The beauty’s in pain, and so
Come walk down the tracks, don’t expect to come back
And it’s been alright
Yeah it’s been just fine
But I made it to the part where I go
Yeah I made up the new part where I go
She said no more lies as she put on her coat and her shoes…

sunshine forever

Well I, I saw you walk yesterday
And I, I saw the man holding your hand
But I don’t see you tomorrow
Can I be with you dear
Can I take your rainy days away from you
And give you sunshine forever
Well I, I hear the talk everyday
And I, I hear you’re not doing too well
But I don’t see you (together) tomorrow
Can I be with you dear
Can I take your rainy days away from you
And give you sunshine forever
(And I’ll go to sleep singing tonight)
Is it something you want, is it something you need
Can I give you my world in one big bouquet
Your silhouette’s fading in front of my eyes
Can I pull you in, pull you in, where you will stay
Baby, can I be with you dear
Can I take your rainy days away from you
And give you sunshine
Forever

remain
03:39
|

There was love
In the light
There was happiness
And joy
Let these things remain
When we stepped in the doors
The air filled with noise
I could breathe
And nothing can stop me, no nothing will stop me
Now that you’ve shown me the truth
Let these things remain
So sign up my heart
Toss me a grin
This handful of hundreds is waiting for you
This handful of hundreds is saving the last dance for you
Let these things remain
(and if you stay in the music
and stay in the service
none of these things will stop)

in passing infinity
03:42
|

she was alone tonight
the stars and the moon
drowned her
in light
no to see her eyes
they brought the flowers and laid them down there
they cried their tears
pretended to care
no one was there to see
her eyes
we hold on to memories that never were true
the planets keep turning
the voices keep driving us on
you sold your soul to the lord
you sold your soul to god
you sold your soul to the lamb
you sold…

backsliding
08:03
|
|||
so I’m halfway through this maze
and it’s littered out with magazines and papers all-hailing second comings
and this girl makes me upset
and this girl is making me nervous
so I cannot speak or be myself
and I don’t know where I should stand
on this religion
I know I am lost and strayed far away
But so are the others
They’ve sinned just like me
So I’m getting on my way
But I keep halted by mirrors and scoreboards and goodbyes and broken hearts
And if this drinking makes me sick
I’ll just drink it away till I’m better
I’ll just drive away home to forget her
And I just won’t stop
I won’t ever stop
Bathing my broken heart in beer
I’m standing
Trying to be tall
But I know that I’m just spinning around
But so are the others,
They’re backsliding
Just like me

november anthem

The leaves turn gold
Shimmering gold
The wind and the light
And the things that we hold
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of this world that I’m screaming in
Make me laugh so I cry
Hold me close till I die
Soak me up in the art deco sky
And I want to write to the world
I want to show them what’s left to be proud of
And I want a place in the sun
But no one is with me
Nothing is left to be proud of
No…
The leaves seem gold
Shimmering gold
The warmth and the light
And remembering home
Get me back to that world
Get me back to the time when I knew who I was
Give me something to hold
Give me life, give me love
Give me something that I can be proud of
And here comes the snow
Life turns her head
Closes her eyes
Leaving me to walk alone outside
And leaves
Turn to brown
Blow them away
Put them to bed
Cover the sorrow and make it look all nice
We behold
Everything old
The wind and the light
And the things we were told

let's forget the past
04:21

Nevermind the sorrow
Let’s forget the past
Pour out all the sorrow
Tell me all at last
And hold on
Please hold on
Just hold on to me
Nevermind the sorrow
Let’s forget the past
Love is not our sorrow
Tell me all at last
So you misplaced some old answer
Which you carefully begot
And your blaming me for nothing
Though it still seems like a lot
(Think of the perfect day, then wake up, up and away)
hold on, please hold on
(tonight let’s go to see the stars alright let’s go
and slip off to heaven)
to me

the waves

you are the walls
you keep me dry
you are the light
show me the way
you are the shelter
you hold me safe
you are the waves
that never stop
coming home
to the shore
you are the waves

pennies
04:19
|

Well after all these wars
I think I’ve fallen in love
But roses are short blooming
And I’m afraid of coldness felt
When you
Do not
Return
So here we are together once more
We’re trying to make as if
Everything is perfectly fine
And here I lie awake in the night
I’m holding in my breath
Dying for your feet down the stairs
Well after all these hours
Could you long to rethink our past
Or am I only wishing
Throwing all my pennies to the sky
Goodbye, I’ll miss our warm love
So here the boat leaves me on the shore
I’m waving with a smile
Everything is perfectly fine
And here the cage is open
I’m free
But I may wait inside
Hoping I’m the boy in your dreams
Goodbye
I’ll miss our warm love

be carefree, be alive

Earlier today
I beheld your grace
Earlier
I turned away
Cause I am too scared of the things you might say
I am still scared of the things I won’t say
Earlier in may
I held you
Summer eyes
How could I let you go
I was just afraid of the things you might say
I was only wishing that you would stay
Be carefree
Be alive
Beside you
I am
So lost and
So found and so alive
So broken
So whole
Again, again, I’m alive
Perfect day today
To let your heart astray
Perfect day today
To throw your love away
And I am only wishing that you’d ask me to stay
Still I must believe that you wanted me that way
And now there’s not anything left to say
Be carefree
Be alive
Beside you
I am
So lost and
So found and so alive
So broken
So whole
Again, again, I’m alive

I find I can’t say
The words I have to say
I’ve been around and round
I still can’t find my way
Well 14 times she told me so
And still I would not go
It’s all I can do
To just sit here and talk to you
But I just let my thoughts
Eb away from you
And I’ll go to sleep singing tonight
Now even when I’m with her
She looks the other way
You know I’d let her in my heart
If only I weren’t so afraid
Well 15 times she cried to me
Though I was deaf and dumb
And every time she held me so
The snow flew down
But I just let my thoughts
Eb away from you
And I’ll go to sleep singing tonight
