Street Car

Parked underground the night you left
It took me an hour and a half
To find my way back up above
There was nothing up there without your love
I was speeding out, filled with doubt, and heading home
Playing with the lights, thinking of times, and freaking out
The street car had stopped and I had not
It's hard to explain except to say
We're on our own in every way
Someone who says they'll stay
May just be waiting around for someone
I was speeding out, filled with doubt, and heading home
Playing with the lights, thinking of times, and freaking out
The street car had stopped and I fucked up

Dynamite Walls

Open your eyes
Put it in drive
Get on the road and just go
City lights
Turn to tree lines
And national park signs
Mountains approach
With small winds in the road
And the air turns to falling snow
Miles away just up ahead
It doesn't matter what
Any of us is looking for
We'll never find it because
It's not even there
High beams showing
Falling rock warning
Construction work, slowing
The engine blazes
The elevation raises
The dynamite walls contain us
Everyone's watching
For animals crossing
Through the part of the glass
That's defrosted
Miles away or just up ahead
It doesn't matter what
Any of us is looking for
We'll never find it because
It's not even there
Open your eyes
Put it in drive
Get on the road and just go
City lights
Turn into tree lines
And National Park signs
Mountains approach
With small winds in the road
And the air turns to falling snow
The engine blazes
The elevation raises
The dynamite walls contain us

Steps Into Miles
02:56
|
|||
|
Your legs walk through the tile like a smile
Turn every step into miles
And the straps attached to the suit are on fire
Your shoulders hold up my desire
Your arms
Are pulling me close
And my heart
Is holding your toes
And your feet are walking away with no trail beneath

Daylight slipping away, down a mountainside
Over the trees and their lines
And I look out past your eyes
Through the windows I stare
As the fields half disappear
So much beauty out there
As the shadows reach for the bar
The place turns yellowish-like
And everything seems alright
Except that this is the last day I get to spend with you
And now it's dark and it's through
I should have been watching you

Long Way Down
04:10
|

|
Do you ever go to the places we both were known?
Do you walk where we used to roam?
Do your thoughts go by me in their flow?
When I'm alone sometimes I need to know
Baby, it's a long way down
And I wonder how you've changed
Have the years left lines I can't trace?
Has your brain lost cells that won't replace?
And are you light or weighed down with mistakes?
When it gets late sometimes I see your face
Baby, it's a long way down
Baby, let your feelings show
It's all I need from you to let go
'Cause baby, I can't stay this low
When there's so much I need to grow
And I know you never go to the places we both were known
And you don't walk where we used to roam
And your thoughts don't pass me in their flow
Because if they didn't I wouldn't be out alone
Baby, it's a long way down
Baby, let you feelings show
It's all I need from you to let go
'Cause baby I can't stay this low
When there's so much I need to know

All In One Move
01:17

All in one move, you
Changed my way of thinking
Bopping away, all that kept me down
You were snowing when I walked in there
And the sun was so bright
It melted all away
Then, all in one move
You took back what you gave me
And clouds flourished
Forced the sun to leave, making snow
Fall down on more ice

Bass Song
04:27
|

|
The day after the storm
I didn't leave the house at all
They assumed from the lack of tracks
In the snow that I had been away for some time
But I was upstairs
And I couldn't hear them
With my headphones on recording a song
They broke my window
And walked inside beneath me as I played on
Unaware of what was going on
As the song began to fade
They were whispering and I couldn't breathe
They were walking up the stairs
Towards me as I looked for something to try and scare them away
I couldn't find shit
So I grabbed my bass guitar by the neck and held it above me
And hid by the top of the stairs
And that's where I was found
Five days after I hit the ground

Carried Away
02:44
|
|||
|
Don't be scared to leave him
You've been sad all season
You should think of something to say
Maybe you could tell him
That from the day you met him
You've been liking him less and less
And things have got to change
Cause if they stay the same
You'll both get carried away
He might really love you
And be crushed by the news
Then you can take back everything you said
And if he feels the same way
Has been waiting to say
The same things, but on a different day
You'll go your separate ways
And all your days with him will fade
Or be carried away
La la la....

Looking For You In Me
03:35

Why do I feel this way
Years are becoming days
And why was I so surprised
I opened my eyes to see
Summer for you and me
Wasn't going to be
I thought you were what I needed
To break out of how I was feeling
But I never saw it
You are beautiful
And your eyes are hidden behind wool
Your face doesn't need to be told
You've heard from so many men
Still want to heard it said
So you can feel some control
Tell me all your wrongs
Just so I'd know all along that you would be that way
You'd be that way
You'd be that way
Why did it end that way?
Hours into wasted days
And why was I so surprised
I guess it's all for the best
I only wanted sex
And I think that you knew
It was in my eyes to see
I was looking for you in me
And I was lost

Lullaby
05:38
|
|||
|
The long, long day is through
The light's been replaced by blue
You lie awake in your room
Thinking about what to do
And everything depends
On one single chance
Should you accept this dance
The last ten years have flown
Days come and then they go
Is this your life you're meant to know
Is it too late for you to glow
Everything depends
On one single chance
Should you accept this dance
The long, long day is through
Figure out what is true
Close your eyes and think about
What you can live without
Close your eyes and think about
What you can live without
