I want to be able
I want to be right
right onto the table
don’t want to be strangers
you look like my kind
my kind of behavior
I want to be able
don’t need to be major
I don’t need to fight
I’ll fight for my neighbors
I want to be patient
I want to be kind
kind isn’t a favor
I want to go
up into your vertigo
I wanted you coming down my avenue
I want to go up into your vertigo
I wanted you long before I ever knew

(Not) So Good

as something follows me
a quiet reverie
I hum this melody
and hand it all to you
It’s in the afternoon, in the evenings too
It’s unfamiliar but I hand it all to you
cause the days before this were not so good
but to answer your question, yes I would
thought this day would never come
thought I was the only one
callin’ out to every corner
hummin’ on that tired song
baby why you’d take so long
coming out from where you wandered
and like a current now
It’s through our legs and out
we’re moving to it and I hand it all to you
no way of stopping now
don’t want to anyhow
its in the rhythm and I hand it all to you

I'll Be You
03:22
|

|
all the worry
all the time
weighing down your heavy mind
take a second
take a cue
let me take it off of you, cause
I’mma be so nice to you
everything you want me to
making sure I’m right by you
and compliment your hair
mama said it must be true
treat others as you want toward you
and you know I’ve been wanting to
so let me take it there
you, you, you
you be me and I’ll be you
when you’re ready, set
when you’re down
you know I’ll be waiting round here
on your mark
on a dime
I’ll become you any time, cause
I believe in what you do
and better in supporting you
making sure I’m holding to
whatever gets you there
mama said it must be true
do others as you want toward you
you know I’ve been wanting to
so let me take you there
you, you you
you be me and I’ll be you

The Shadow
03:06
|
|||
|
on a night like this I’ll imagine
all the things left waiting to happen
and how it came to be
looking into the veil of the shadow
it’s a feeling familiar that I know
it’s been a friend to me
and it says no
I don’t want to be on my own
out of energy, far from home
give me something to lay me down
wrap me up, turn me around
I don’t want to be on my own
there’s serenity there I know
but give me something that I can hold
with my hands, when I get old
when your eyes close down to the lashes
you can go to a place where the past is
a simple memory
if you focus your heart on it outright
it’ll beat to the change of the stoplight
and turn eventually
till it says no

Subtleties
03:42
|
|||
|
hey there, laissez-faire
I’ve been watching you
idle, unaware, afraid to follow through
but if you tried a little harder
breathed a little lighter
we’d be feeling so brand new
but when the wheels are only turning
when the engine’s burning
only so much I can do
before the subtleties wash over me again
we’re walking in the footsteps we have been
it’s written in an old familiar pen
and the subtleties wash over me again
stay here, persevere
I’m a lot like you
foreign, new frontier
lost with what to do
once in a while you’re thinkin’ clearly
signing’ it sincerely
like your perfect interview
but after some time you’re on the fences
mounting consequences
only so much I can do

Set A Course

set a course for the moon and we’ll be there soon
or set a course for the sun and I’ll run to you
cause it’s beginning to feel like they’re on to me
and if you squint your eyes you'll see the light’s
been shinin’ on me
settle in to a place where they know your name
or take a couple of these and you'll feel the same
it’s a matter of days for the human race
there’s a place in you that knows the truth
is waiting in vain
I’ve been drifting round and
I’ve been thinking bout you
floating high in zero gravity
high above the city
looking down and spinning
stop playback, rewind the memory
so set a course for the moon and we’ll be there soon
I’ve been dreamin’ at night of the point of view
it’s a light year ride through an endless sky
and there’s a place inside, these stars align
for just you and I

Carry Me
03:18
|
|||
|
we're not a bore, we live forever more
I took a photograph of you laughing so
I'll open up, I've been so bottled up
out on my own, nobody to love me so
carry me home, right in your pocket babe
cause I've been long gone, so far away
carry me home, don't walk away from me
carry me carry me, baby keep carrying me
I'll call it home, beside your telephone
and in your hands I'll fold like an envelope
so tuck me in, against your softer skin
I'm not alone, nobody can tell me so

Avalon
02:59
|
|||
|
I’ll be seeing you in avalon
I’ll be wondering if I was wrong, it’s okay
cause we been talkin’ on the telephone
I’ve been sitting on the steps alone
just like rain
cause I don’t want my life to be
a pattern of uncertainty and greed
so take me like a tidal wave
comin’ from a night away at sea
I’ve been sleeping with commercials on
always dreaming that there’s something wrong
it’s all grey
but I’ll be standing at the dock for you
rising out of every shade of blue
and I’ll wait

Wounded Pride
04:54
|
|||
|
some nights are better to press rewind
and that don’t make it right
you send me a letter from time to time
but nothing really changes
you said it’d be better to close our eyes
and wait another night
I’m feelin’ a little too compromised
by what I know is wrong
I fell for a minute, I fell for a while
right down to the limit, I walked on for miles
my faults are delivered, one loss at a time
my heart on a pivot, my wounded pride
these days I’m dyin’ to ease my mind
and step out of the dark
I’m putting the hours in overtime
but nothing really changes
I know it’s a miracle multiplied
by distance over time
but I’m tired of waking up sick and tired
of what I know is wrong
it’s a downfall I might never forget
it’s a miracle that’s been happening since
we were born love, into current events
repeating history since
