In Field & Town

Take it easy, it's what we need to do right now
Cruel and weary are just some words I'd use for how
I see us around this uptight town
With emptiness just weighing us down
But when we think of leaving out of the rush and into the slow
The clouds let go of the sun and show
This city like she took off her clothes
And now you know how we feel
We're like spokes in a wheel of a bike in some field
Or we're riding along
Through the streets before dawn, with no sense of what's right, or wrong
Take it easy, it's what we need to do right now
Cool and breezy are not the words I'd use for how
I see us around this uptight town
With electronics just weighing us down
And now you know how we feel
We're like spokes in a wheel of a bike in some field
Or we're riding along
Through the streets before dawn, with no sense of what's right, or wrong

More Than Alive
02:59
|

One day more of you alone
There's everyone but no one to show
That you're more than alive
You're more than alive
You drive alone every night
Through windows see others who'd like
To be more than alright
Yah, more than alright
If you could have one minute alone
With yourself when you were young
Do you think you would lie
Do you think you would lie
Do you think you'd lie
For everyone backed in a corer
Evacuations are in order
And we're leaving tonight
We're leaving tonight
We're leaving tonight
Because we're more than alright
We're more than alright
And we're more than alive
Yah, we're more than alive

The Van Song
02:45
|
|||
|
On the way home the rain just washed us up
Onto your front door where we talked
You went up the stairs as I watched you walk
I watched you walk
And on the bus before that they looked at us
Some of them happy, some of them lost
Some of them liked us, some of them not
Yah, some of them not
And the day before that was the one we met
You were sisters, I was with friends
I was so lonely, you were so mad
Yah, you were so mad
You were so mad
And we did it for the lovers who were blind
And we did it for the others left behind
With each other, we recovered in the night
And a week before that I drove all day
To the Capital City
Looking for a van for me
A van for me
For you and me

Worthy Of Your Esteem
03:26
|

|
Lately you've been so mean, it's guaranteed
Your life's a sweet sixteen at thirty-three
You've had it up to here with both hemispheres
With no one left to revere, you my dear
A scientist on TV, said aliens will be
The big discovery of the Century
And you must be very pleased, this finally could mean
There's someone you can deem, worthy of your esteem
I've blamed myself for years, but it appears
There's nothing I could cheer to stop your tears
A scientist on TV, said aliens will be
The big discovery of the Century
And you must be very pleased, this finally could mean
There's someone you can deem, worthy of your esteem

Damn This Feeling
03:19
|
|||
|
I have been wrestling with the thought of it all
Since you left me out in the cold last Fall
I wake up lonely and go to bed the same way
People they call me just to make sure I'm okay
But I think I'm healing, damn this feeling
I have been reeling, since last season
It's the one thing I had left
From everything I'd kept
I'm going to miss how bad this has felt
Women adored me for the sad look in my eyes
Now they ignore me for getting on with my life
Cause I think I'm healing, damn this feeling
I have been reeling since last season
It's the one thing I had left
From everything I'd kept
I'm going to miss how bad this has felt
How bad this has felt
How bad this has felt
Leaves they are falling, just as I let go of you
Winter is calling, and I have no memories to lose

The whole way down you were right
When the wrapping fell from the bow I took flight
Oh we started out so nice
And we ended caught in the traps we thought
We're only set on our parent's watch
Did I wake up beside you today or not?
After all the air we've shared we're almost out
And all the good we've had is fading into doubt
And now we hold our breath or shout
And we lie to get caught 'cause all we want is a shot
Of getting out of this bed and being able to walk
Did I wake up beside you today or not?
Did I wake up beside you today or not?

Weight of the World
01:41
|
|||
|
Lately you've been nowhere to be found
But not for the clouds that follow you 'round
'Cause you believe the weight of the world
Is on the shoulders of a girl
It's just one of those days
Don't let me get into your way
'Cause you believe the weight of the world
Is on the shoulders of a girl
Yah, you believe the weight of the world
Is on the shoulders of a girl
And you must do what you can to believe
That I have nothing up my sleeve

Where And When
03:15
|
|||
|
The snow was falling down like pieces of the sky last Friday night
I was outside on the street and she was inside to the beat
Next thing I know she's watching me write to her in the snow:
"Let's go"
She got up so close the condensation changed her to a ghost
She appeared again, as she wrote on the glass
"Well, it depends...where and when?"
Where and when?
Where and when?
Where and when?

Lonely Security Guard
04:26

Oh so lonely security guard, he looks so mean from afar
But when you get up close you'll see
He could not hurt a flea
He stands there in the heat
Looking straight down a his feet
And with his hands and an old receipt
He makes a swan so real it breathes
Oh so lonely security guard, can make you cry with a business card
Can make a cricket from a parking ticket
Can make a bird from some thrown out words
But he cannot control this herd
'Cause he does not look up when he should
He relies on the people's good
A big mistake in this neighborhood
Oh so lonely security guard, didn't notice me at all
So I grabbed the first thing I saw
And walked right out the front door
But he had just made a paper sword
And threw me right down on the floor
And everyone standing near that store
Witnessed a one-sided war
Origami Security guard, he looks so mean from afar
But when you get up close you'll see
That he's no cup of tea

The Hardest Part
02:21
|
|||
|
She was flying circles above her room at night
While you slept in the bed below, thinking things were alright
She was in Alaska, or on the Hudson Line
On a beach in Mexico, you farthest from her mind
The hardest part of life is love that goes away
When one is left there wondering how to make it stay
What is there to tell you, apart from hopeful lies
Just open up the window wide and watch her as she flies

Barely Friends
03:08

Just because it went down that way
And we're barely friends
When I saw you last week at the dance
I should have took you by surprise
And told you how beautiful the sky
Looked with you in front of it that night
I should have lied
I should have took you by the hand
And told you that I was no man
Those weeks that you walked on my land
In all my reasons there were none
Truthful that night I said run
And the truth is you just weren't the one
You weren't the one
You weren't the one
Just because it went down that way
And we're barely friends
When I saw you last week at the dance
I had no chance
