just a song

in the time it takes to say
i didn't mean it anyway
it was just me and my stupid games
i know that i'm the one to blame
she has gone
she's just a song
playing in your heart
you know just watching you like this
when you'd die for just one kiss
and when you held it in your hands
and now you'll never understand
that she's gone
she's just a song
playing in your heart
she placed a moon up in your sky so in the darkness by and by
now in the cold, the light of stone your heart beats alone
i know the sun burns in your soul
but still these mornings run so cold
and all the beauty that you found
you closed it's mouth and lost it's sound
that she's gone
she's just a song
playing in your heart
we look for endings sweet and pure
but there's no miracles no more
you have to face the cutting rain
and tell yourself just once again
that she's gone
she's just a song
playing in your heart
she placed a moon up in your sky so in the darkness by and by
now in the cold, the light of stone your heart beats alone

double

It’s trickier, it’s prettier, it’s broken up, it’s bittier
The reasons are so obvious and wrong
Not funnier, not sunnier, the liquids getting runnier
The pictures are so critical and long
It’s doubled up, it’s troubled up, we’re wanting to be cuddled up
And bubbled up in bright and shiny new
But this is just tom foolery, why is the truth so hard to see
We fumble in our pockets for the glue
Double says what double does, likes to complicate because
We are simple minded
Tuning in and drifting out, we all know the scream and shout
We are simply blinded

failsafe

say what you say to me
crime of the century
born out of devilry
caught up inside of me
failsafe, failsafe
do what you do to me
public for all to see
stop at the traffic light
loss of second sight
failsafe, failsafe
clean round the bend he was
made all the rules because
fortune and the blinding light
kept him from seeing right
failsafe, failsafe
back at the start again
nodding like bill and ben
crazy like kicking horse
back at the start again
failsafe, failsafe

The Sun (Version 2)
02:44

when will your eyes see the sun in the sky, will not burn out it’s ours ‘til we die
when will my hands carve the moon in your heart, in the sand for the rest of all time
have we lost? did we survive? did we win? oh, we don’t know, but we tried
jesus its hard and you know it is true that, the endings are sweet and are pure
broken and split like the wood in my veins and, the truth is we’re losing our core
have we lost? did we survive? did we win? oh, we don’t know, but we tried
covered like boats in the yard, dry to touch, where the paint peels the salt is our skin
lover come here, take my hands, walk the pier, we can stare out and bathe in the sun
have we lost? did we survive? did we win? oh, we don’t know, but we tried

Oh brother, oh stranger, your life is in danger
From all the poison we shared
God bless us, caress us, we laughed at, the pressures
The follies remain undeclared
You don't see this every day, a man falling in every way
He's twisting, like crazy, tries too hard, too lazy
Takes pictures of nothing at all
Like children, we're giddy, I'm packed up, so bid me
Farewell we won't wait for your call
You don't see this every day, a man falling in every way
You don't see this hardly at all, portrait of a man in free-fall
The fingers, keep moving, and eyelids, just proving
Gravity resistance is gone
I want you, I need you, I love you, I lost you
I look for you everywhere
You don't see this every day, a man falling in every way
You don't see this hardly at all, portrait of a man in free-fall
You don't see this every day, a man falling in every way
You don't see this hardly at all, portrait of a man in free-fall

Survivors
05:04
|
|||
|
in that a transmission fades and hills fall away to the sea
clouds disappear and return
like the conflict in you and in me
as if an impossible plan were come true in the trees, in the grass, in the sand
the winter that waits, knives awake
so quick to move from heart to hand
no prizes for guessing, no reward for wrongs no angels are dressing with ribbons so long
that statues which falling take with them all hope
survivors are strangled, caught up in the rope
in place of agreement we just had a dream a sigh and a sentence, a question a scream
there's nothing that's visible that cannot be lost or killed by the sunshine, raped by the frost
you stand there beside me and still look away
i'm searching for diamonds and you give me clay
survivors are stupid they just carry on
when beauty and passion are terribly gone

It's not what she wanted
05:07

i like the light from the refrigerator
it makes me think that growing up comes later on
well, am I wrong?
I picture yellow daisy prints and lips made of ice cream
I clear the edges and make summer day dreams gone
or lost for so long
It's the part where she turns and says I love you
and he just says and smiles and says
I really like you too
we all know that it's not what she wanted
But I guess that it will do
The long walk home but you can keep your eyes on
Through sheets of tears there's such a wide horizon
How, how do we make it so?
she knows they made the rules only to be broken
as if the truth were only spoken slow
such a pretty show
It's the part where she turns and says I love you
and he just says and smiles and says
I really like you too
we all know that it's not what she wanted
But I guess that it will do
well that was stupid that was like being 14
it's like another me was haunting me or or running free
i bet you can't compare a tender burning summer kiss
with all the things you can't allow yourself to miss
or is it me?
It's the part where she turns and says I love you
and he just says and smiles and says
I really like you too
we all know that it's not what she wanted
But I guess that it will do
