Here's a bunch of song lyrics!
Air Traffic
The bird is here
And we are off
To wherever those wings take us
The atmosphere
Is crawling with airlines
That wind through the clouds
And look down on the crowds
Relax your back
And let the noise
Sing you to sleep in my arms
If you awake
Before we arrive
I will carry you down
And I won't make a sound
The scent is strong
As we move on
And breathe in the pristine
Crime scene.
The false veneer
Is old like a
Substitute volunteer
From, oh, some other year.
I'm just a show
As far as I can tell,
So I paint my eyes a light green.
The silver beams
Are twirling and swirling
Throughout your dreams
Like air traffic streams
Cave InPlease take a long hard look through your textbook
Cuz i'm hist'ry
When I strap my helmet on, I'll be long gone
Cuz i've been dying to leave
Yeah, I'll ride the range and hide all my loose change
In my bedroom
Cuz riding a dirtbike down a turnpike always takes its toll on me
I've had just about enough of quote diamonds in the ruff
Because my backbone is paperthin
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in
(I'll cave in, I'll cave in)
If the bombs go off, the sun will still be shining
(the sun will still be shining)
Because i've heard it said that every mushroom cloud has a silver lining
(though i'm always undermining too deep to know)
swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
Cuz the road tastes like winter green
The wind and the rain smell of oil and octane mixed with stale gasoline
I'll soak up the sound, try to sleep on the wet ground
I'll get ten minutes give or take
Cuz I just don't foresee myself getting drowsy
When cold integrity keeps me wide awake
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in (cave in cave in cave in cave in
cave in cave in)
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in
I'll keep my helmet on just in case my head caves in
Cuz it my thoughts collapse or my framework snaps
It'll make a mess like you wouldn't believe
Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay on track
And if my intensions stray I'll wrench them away
Then I'll take my leave and I wont even look back
I wont even look back
Christmas Song
It's Christmas and we walk alone
Two strangers with no one to miss us
On our own
Out in the cold trudging onward
Braving a harsh winter storm
You and I met passing by
And now our spirits feel warm
I don't have anyone at home to talk to
And you don't have anything to do
So I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you
Its Christmas and we are in love
With the way that the soft snowflakes kiss us
From far above the blustery breeze
Trudging onward
Braving a harsh winter storm
You and I met passing by
And now our spirits feel warm
I believe that Jesus is truly the only way
And I celebrate Christmas because it's his birthday
I don't have anyone at home to talk to
And you don't have anything to do
So I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you
Dear Vienna
Dear Vienna
I regarded the world as such a sad sight
Until I viewed it in Black & White
And I reviewed every frame in basic shape
And sealed the exits with caution tape
(Dear Vienna)
Don’t refocus your eyes in the darkness
And don’t remember this place unless
I describe all the things that you cannot see
And we’ll unravel the mystery
Farewell
All my friends
In Textbooks
I’m going home
Cause my blood cells cannot depend on the weather in photographs
There’s a light show, out my window
Somewhere, way up there
Dear Vienna (Dear Vienna) are you singing
Dear Vienna are you swinging
Dear Vienna (Dear Vienna) We were happy like the shades of May
When we got carried away
Dear Vienna
I regarded the world as such a sad sight
Until I viewed it in Black & White
And I reviewed every frame in basic shape
And sealed the exits with caution tape
Dear Vienna
Don’t refocus your eyes in the darkness
And don’t remember this place unless
I describe all the things that you cannot see
Dear Vienna
I was so far out of place
Watching those stars in outer space
Cause I am so far from where you are
There’s a light show, out my window(out my window)
Somewhere, way up there (way up there)
Dear Vienna (Dear Vienna) are you singing (are you singing)
Dear Vienna (Dear Vienna) are you swinging
Dear Vienna (Dear Vienna) We were happy like the shades of May
When we got carried away
Dental Care
I brush my teeth and look in the mirror,
And laugh out loud,
As I'm beaming from ear to ear,
I'd rather pick flowers instead of fights,
I'd rather than flaunt style I'd flash you a smile
Of clean pearly whites.
I've been to the dentist a thousand times so I know the drill,
I smooth my hair,
Sit back in the chair
And some how I still get the chills
Have a seat he says pleasantly,
As he shakes my hand and practically laughs at me,
"open up nice and wide" he says peering in,
And with a smirk he says "don't have a fit,
This will just pinch a bit"
As he tries not to grin.
When hygienists
Leave on long vacations
That's when dentists scream and
Lose their patience
Talking only brings the toothaches on because
I say the stupidest things
So if my resolve goes south I'll swallow my pride with aspirin and shut my mouth
Golf and alcohol don't mix
And that's why I don't drink and drive
Because good grief
I'd knock out my teeth
And have to kiss my smile goodbye
I've been to the dentist a thousand times
So I know the drill,
I smooth my hair,
Sit back in the chair
And some how I still get the chills
Designer Skyline
Affection, the gifted architect
Is making a draft and beautiful design
The options and possibilities
Are endless when we connect and re-align
Collections of books and documents
Arise and parade around my cluttered desk
Reworking the math and measurements
Until I'm convinced these plans are picturesque
Like mountains in the Midwest
Reaction creates the columns dark
And wide like the roads around Fort Lauderdale
The structures begin to take their shape
Before I've designed the public monorail
The turnpike and high-speed motorway
Connect and enclose the quaint suburban streets
The airport, the broad suspension bridge
The lake and the beach where several rivers meet
Compounded from the spreadsheet
A city sparkles in the night
How can it glow so bright?
The neighborhoods surround the soft florescent light
Designer skyline in my head
Abstract and still well-read
You went from numbered lines to buildings overhead
Fireflies
You would not believe your eyes,
If ten million fireflies.
Lit up the world as I fell asleep.
'Cause they fill the open air,
And leave teardrops everywhere.
You think me rude,
But I would just stand and stare.
I'd like to make myself believe,
That Planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
'Cause everything is never as it seems.
'Cause I get a thousand hugs,
From ten thousand lightning bugs.
As they try to teach me how to dance,
A foxtrot above my head,
A sockhop beneath my bed.
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread).
I'd like to make myself believe,
That Planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
'Cause everything is never as it seems. Leave my door open just a crack (please take me away from here),
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac (please take me away from here).
Why do I tire of counting sheep? (please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep.
To ten million fireflies,
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes.
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell),
But I know where several are.
If my dreams get real bizarre,
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar.
I'd like to make myself believe,
That Planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep).
I'd like to make myself believe,
That Planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep).
I'd like to make myself believe,
That Planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams.
Fuzzy Blue Lights
If I could look across the country
From California to New Jersey
Then I would count the parks and lake resorts
And number all the jets and airports
All those rather dreary rain clouds still bother me
Cuz I look through the camera eyepiece and cannot see
If I could open up my window
And see from Tampa Bay to Juneau
Then I would survey all those open miles
And line them up in single file
Everywhere I look I see green scenic sublime
And all those oceanic vistas are so divine
If I was standing on the balcony
And you were walking down below
I'd feel rather depressed and out of place
And lonely just to watch you go
If you were swinging from the highway overpass
Within the western hemisphere
I'd feel rather afraid and insincere
If you began to disappear
If I was walking through a sad art gallery
And you were driving through the night
I'd feel rather alone and I'll at ease
Beneath the brilliant showroom light
If I was flying on a plane above your town
And you were gazing at the sky
Somehow I'd feel intact and reassured
If you began to wave goodbye
Hello Seattle
Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
And awake in your mouth
Hello Seattle, I am a manterey
Deep beneath the blue waves
I'll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound
And construct a summer home.
Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon
Shining down on your face
I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill
And descend inside of you
Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse
Feeling warm in your sand
I sing about the tide and the ocean surf
Rolling in the evening breeze
Hello Seattle, I am an albatross
On the docks and your boats
I sail above your inlets and interstates
Through the rain and open wind
Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse
Throwing beams of bright lights
Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun
Taken heed from everyone
Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
Take me above your light
Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight
Take me above your light (Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer)
Carry me through the night (In the hills and highlands)
Hold me secure in flight (I fall asleep in hospital parking lots)
Sing me to sleep tonight
Hot Air Balloon
We wrote a prelude
To our own fairy tale
And bought a parachute
At a church rummage sale
And with a mean sewing machine
And miles of thread
We sewed the day above L.A.
In navy and red
We wound a race track
Through your mom's kitchen chairs
And fought the shadows back
Down your dark basement stairs
I lit a match, then let it catch
To light up the room
And then you yelled as we beheld
An old maroon hot air balloon
I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
Till we kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down
La la la laa laaaa
La la la la
La la laa laaaa
We drank the Great Lakes
Like cold lemonade
And both got stomach aches
Sprawled out in the shade
So bored to death you held your breath
And I tried not to yawn
You made my frown turn upside down
And now my worries are gone
I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
Till we kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down
I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
Till we kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down
I'll Meet You There
If we could sit together a moment
And talk forever just to pass the time
I would smile as the shivers and chills
Run down my spine
When your eyes are locked on mine
Oh, we will fill the metro skies with country air
And when you close your tired eyes I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
Deep inside of you there's a ruby glow
And it gets brighter then you and I will ever know
There's a rushing sound that surrounds us when we walk alone
And it's everything we've never known
Wander down the street
And I would be the pavement beneath your feet
If we could just be immobile for some time
And finally figure out the way we feel
About the missing puzzle pieces and cloudy question marks
It still looks a bit surreal
Oh I tend to disappear here and there
So concentrate and you'll feel me everywhere
And well feel the metro skies with country air
If you're lost when you close your eyes I'll meet you there
You could be anywhere
I'll meet you there
You could be anywhere
Open your eyes and see everything you can be
I'll meet you there
If my Heart was a House
You're the sky that I fell through
And I remember the view
Whenever I'm holding you
The sun hung from a string
Looking down on the world as it warms over everything
Chills run down my spine
As our fingers entwine
And your sighs harmonize with mine
Unmistakably
I can still feel your heart beat fast when you dance with me
We got older and I should've known (Do you feel alive?)
That I'd feel colder when I walk alone (Oh, but you'll survive)
So I may as well ditch my dismay
Bombs away, bombs away
Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
Back and forth
If my heart was a compass you'd be north
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall
Wherever you go
If my heart was a house you'd be home
It makes me smile because you said it best
I would clearly feel blessed if the sun rose up from the west
Flower balm perfume, all my clothes smell like you
Cause your favorite shade is navy blue
I walk slowly when I'm on my own (Do you feel alive?)
Yeah, but frankly I still feel alone (Oh, but you'll survive)
So I may as well ditch my dismay
Bombs away, bombs away
Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
Back and forth
If my heart was a compass you'd be north
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall
Wherever you go
If my heart was a house you'd be home
If my heart was a house you'd be home
Meteor Shower
I can finally see that you're right there beside me.
I am not my own, for I have been made new.
Please don't let me go, I desperately need you.
I am not my own, for I have been made new.
Please don't let me go, I desperately need you.
On the Wing
Breathe
And I'll Carry You Away
Into The Velvet Sky
And We'll Stir The Stars Around
And Watch Them Fall Away
Into The Hudson Bay
And Plummet Out Of Sight And Sound
The Open Summer Breeze
Will Sweep You Through The Hills
Where I Live In The Alpine Heights
Below The Northern Lights
I Spend My Coldest Nights
Alone, Awake, And Thinking Of
The Weekend We Were In Love
Home
Among These Mountain Tops
Can Be So Awfully Dull
A Thousand Miles From The Tide
Put Photos On The Walls
Of New York Shopping Malls
Distract Me So I Stay Inside
I Wish The Rocket Stayed
Over The Promenade
'Cause I Would Make A Hook And I
Can Fish Them From The Sky
My Darling, She And I
Were Hanging On, So Take Us High
To Sing The World Goodbye
[Chorus]
I Am Floating Away
Lost In A Silent Ballet
I'm Dreaming You're Out In The Blue
And I Am Right Beside You
Await To Take In The View
Late Nights And Early Parades
Still Photos And Noisy Arcades
My Darling We're Both On The Wing
Look Down And Keep On Singing
And We Can Go Anywhere
Are You There?
(Are You There? Are You There? Are You There?)
Are You There?
(Are You There? Are You There? Are You There?)
Or Are You Just A Decoy Dream
In My Head?
Am I Home Or Am I Simply
Tumbling Out Alone?
[Chorus]
I Am Floating Away
(Floating Away)
Lost In A Silent Ballet
(Silent Ballet)
I'm Dreaming You're Out In The Blue
And I Am Right Beside You
(And I Am Right Beside You)
Await To Take In The View
Late Nights And Early Parades
(Early Parades)
Still Photos And Noisy Arcades
(Noisy Arcades)
My Darling We're Both On The Wing
Look Down And Keep On Singing
(Look Down And Keep On Singing)
And We Can Go Anywhere
(And We Can Go Anywhere)
Are You There?
Are You There?
Panda Bear
I'm moving to Tokyo
'Cause I'm tired of San Francisco
My contracts are finally void
And I am getting out
On houses and building tops
I swallow the beams and sundrops
If my echoes could reach your ears
Then I could save my calls
What happens when I'm above
The east river when you are in love
We're staring at all these lights
And I am going blind
Fill all of the navy yards
With hard working security guards
'Cause the numbers are wearing off
My plastic access cards
How can I begin to say
I feel better off when we stay
In Paris on winter nights
Beneath the snowy veil
Content like a panda bear
Still breathing the fresh mountain air
I'll put on a diving tank
And sing when I inhale
Rainbow Veins
High rise, veins of the avenue
Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue
Everywhere is balanced there like a rainbow above you
Street lights glisten on the boulevard
And cold nights make staying alert so hard
For heaven's sake, keep me awake so I won't be caught off guard
Clearly I am a passerby but I'll find a place to stay
Dear pacific day, won't you take me away?
Small town hearts of the New Year
Brought down by gravity, crystal clear
City fog and brave dialogue converge on the frontier
Make haste, I feel your heartbeat
With new taste for speed, out on the street
Find a road to a humble abode where both of our routes meet
The silver sound is all around and the colors fall like snow
The feeling of letting go, I guess we'll never know
Cheer up and dry your damp eyes and tell me when it rains
And I'll blend up that rainbow above you and shoot it through your veins
Cuz your heart has a lack of color and we should've known
That we'd grow up sooner or later cuz we wasted all our free time alone
Your nerves gather with the altitude
Exhale the stress so you don't come unglued
Somewhere there is a happy affair, a ghost of a good mood
Wide eyed, panic on the getaway
The high tide could take me so far away
VCR's and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day
A popular gauge will measure the rage of the new Post-Modern Age
Cuz somewhere along the line all the decades align
We were the crashing whitecaps
On the ocean
And what lovely seaside holiday, away
A palm tree in Christmas lights
My emotion
Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone
As we spent the day alone
Cheer up and dry your damp eyes and tell me when it rains
And I'll blend up that rainbow above you and shoot it through your veins
Cuz your heart has a lack of color and we should've known
That we'd grow up sooner or later cuz we wasted all our free time alone
Strawberry Avalanche
This is a world of dreams and revery
Where I felt the stars explode around me
A grassblade flashed with a gleam as it slashed open a moonbeam and
I stared back breathlessly
As mountains of fruit tumbled out
I barely had the chance to shout
STRAWBERRY AVALANCHE crashed over me
Staying awake that night was rather hard
deep in a sleeping bag in your back yard
and we woke up burried alive beneath the
fruity landslide we both laughed histerically
it could'a been just another dream but I swear I heard you scream STRAWBERRY AVALANCHE crash over me
Always a citrus constellation in the galaxy
scratched on the backs of both my eyelids
I've been dying to see
If you were a beautiful sound in the echos all around
Then I'd be your harmony
and we'd sing along with the crowds
beneath the candy coated clouds
STRAWBERRY AVALANCHE shes crashed over me
Sunburn
So there we were, back home from somewhere inside my head
Oh, bravely I fought off the monsters beneath her bed
Pillars of postwar books supported by frame of mind
While she memorized the pages that I tried to not hide behind
She took my hand in hers and whispered her love for me
The lantern died that night but we didn't need to see
Implying that she's the bee's knees and I am the cat's meow
It's funny how she recalls what I can't remember now
But when her smile came back and I didn't feel half as horrible
She gave me a heart attack just because she looked so adorable
We both put our sunblock on, played on the beach and
Vowed that we'd live and we'd learn
Yeah, but she got a tan, and I got a sunburn, I got a sunburn
So there we were out there, unaware of where we'd been
We kicked off our flip-flops and swung from the rooftops again
It's awkward but I'll confess she's all I can think about
And it's funny how I recall what she can't remember now
But when her smile came back and I didn't feel half as horrible
She gave me a heart attack just because she looked so adorable
We both put our sunblock on, played on the beach and
vowed that we'd live and we'd learn
Yeah, but she got a tan, and I got a sunburn
Oh, afterglow, look out below
We left a trail of dust behind
As we parted ways, she held my gaze
And left an imprint on my mind
I tried not to cry as we said goodbye
And hung the clouds above my town
But I shed a tear when she disappeared
Cause now I'm a stranger on the ground
When her smile came back and I didn't feel half as horrible
She gave me a heart attack
We both put our sunblock on, played on the beach and
vowed that we'd live and we'd learn
But she got a tan, and I got a sunburn
She got a tan, and I got a sunburn
Yeah, but she got a tan, and I got a sunburn
The Airway
When I am fast asleep
I dream and see you floating high above me
And I awake at dawn
Before the rays of morning paint the front lawn
From on the bedroom floor
I watch you sailing far above the seashore
In deep Atlantic skies
You float as I look aft to watch the moon rise
Above the avenue
I search among the clouds, trying to see you
But you are just a blur
In the sky when you parachute over the harbor
I can see
You above with the ocean around me
If I could only stay
Overhead in the airway
You sail through
Endless sky with the evening around you
When I'm out on the bay
You're aloft in the airway
When I'm alone at night
I dream you paint the stars against the twilight
Suspended in the air
I wish your silhouette would always stay there
When I am on the beach
I watch you held aloft way out of my reach
But I cannot take flight
Or float upon the air the way that you might
When I am in the sea
You gaze down from the sky, trying to see me
But I am just a blur
Through the waves as I scuba dive below the harbor
The airway
You and I in the airway
Aloft in the airway
In love on the airway
I can see
You above with the ocean around me
If I could only stay
Overhead in the airway
You sail through
Endless sky with the evening around you
When I'm out on the bay
You're aloft in the airway
The Bird and the WIf You're The Bird,
Whenever we pretend it's summer,
Then I'm the worm,
I know the part, it's such a bummer,
But fair is fair,
If my segments get separated,
I'll scream
& you'll be there.
Close your eyes (Close my eyes),
[So I cotton off of your shoulder, ]?
And feel the shine (feel the shine),
I'm hooked so toss me over,
And cast a line (oh I'll try),
Oh throw a party and greet my undersea friends (it depends),
As they arrive (if they arrive),
You and I left our troubles far behind (troubles far behind),
But I still have just one more question on my mind,
For all my pals who live in all the oceans and the seas,
With friends like these well, who needs enemies?
Da dat dah da da da da da da dat dah
If I'm your boy,
Let's take a short cut we remember,
And we'll enjoy,
Pickin' apples in late september
Like we've done for years,
Then we'll take a long walk through the corn field,
And I'll kiss you, between the ears,
If you're my girl,
Swirl me around your room with feeling,
And as we twirl, the glow in the dark stars on your ceiling,
Will shine for us,
As love sweeps over the room,
Cause we tend to make each other blush (you make me blush)
You and I left our troubles far behind (troubles far behind),
But I still have just one more question on my mind,
For all my pals who live in all the oceans and the seas,
With fronds like these well, who needs anenomes?
You're the bird and I'm the worm,
And it's plain to see that we were meant to be
We were meant to be
Da dat dah da da da da da da dat dah
If you're the bird
If you're the bird
Then I'm the worm
We were meant to be
orm
The Saltwater RoI opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that aren’t there anymore
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground
All the subways around create a great sound
To my motion fatigue: farewell
With your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
Time together is just never quite enough
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
What will it take or make or break this hint of love?
We need time, only time
When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
All the time, all the time
Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn’t let me sign on?
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
I feel as if I were home some nights when we count all the ship lights
I guess I’ll never know why sparrows love the snow
We’ll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom a gloworm
The Technicolor Phase
I am the red in the rose, the flowers
On the blankets on your bedroom floor.
And I am the gray in the ghost that hides
With your clothes behind your closet door.
I am the green in the grass that bends back
From underneath your feet.
And I am the blue in your back alley view
Where the horizon and the rooftops meet.
If you cut me I suppose I would bleed the colors
Of the evening stars.
You can go anywhere you wish cause I'll be there,
wherever you are.
(Wherever you are) 2x
(I will always be your keys
When we are lost in the technicolor phase)
I am the black in the book
The letters on the pages that you memorize.
And I am the orange in the overcast
Of color that you visualize.
I am the white in the walls that soak up
All the sound when you cannot sleep.
And I am the peach in the starfish on the beach
That wish the harbor wasn't quite so deep.
If you cut me I suppose I would bleed the colors
Of the evening stars. (my darling)
You can go anywhere you wish cause I'll be there,
wherever you are. (my darling)
The Tip of the Iceberg
Welcome back winter once again,
and put on a warm fuzzy sweater cuz
you'll feel much better when,
snowflakes fall gently to the ground,
the temperature drops and your shivers
freeze all the rivers around,
but I keep you warm.
if speeds a pro, inertia must be a con,
cuz the cold wind blows at precise rates
when I've got my iceskates on.
If all the roads were paved with
ice they wouldnt thaw or crack.
I could skate from Maine to Nebraska then
on to Alaska and back,
cuz you keep me warm.
Peer over the edge can you see me?
rivulets flow from your eyes.
Paint runs from your mouth like a
waterfall, and you lungs crystalize.
I'll travel the sub-zero tundra.
I'll brave glaciers and frozen lakes.
And thats just the tip of the iceberg.
I'll do whatever it takes to change.
Farewell powdery paradise.
We'd rather skate on the finished ice.
Fingers failed us before they froze.
And frostbite bit down on all our toes.
Snow drifts build up and enfold us
as we wait out this winter storm.
So we snuggle close in the darkness,
and keep eachother so warm
Tidal Wave
I wish I could cross my arms and cross your mind;
Cause I believe, you don't fold your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve.
All my life I wish I broke mirrors,
instead of promises;
Cause all I see is a shattered conscious staring right back at me.
I wish I had covered all my tracts completly, cus I'm so afraid.
Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just a tree?
Lift your arms, only heaven knows; whether danger grows and it's safe to say, "there's a bright light up ahead and help is on the way"...
(help is on the way, help is on the way, help is on the way)
Help is on the way...
I forget the last time I felt brave,
I just recall insecurity.
Cause it came down like a tital wave,
and sorrow swept over me.
Depression please cut to the chase,
and cut a long story short.
Oh, please be done;
how much longer can this drama afford to run?
Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties
and breaks whatever doesn't bend.
But, sadly then, all my heavy hopes just pull me back down again.
(back down again, back down again, back down again, back down again, back down again, back down again)
I forget the last time I felt brave,
I just recall insecurity.
Cause it came down like a tital wave,
and sorrow swept over me.
And I was given grace and love,
I was blind but now I can see.
Cause I found a new hope from above,
and courage swept over me.
It hurts just to wake up,
whenever you wear me thin.
Alone on the outside,
so tired of looking in.
The end is uncertain,
and I've never been so afraid.
But I don't need a telescope to see that theres hope,
and that makes me feel brave.
Vanilla Twilight
The stars lean down to kiss you
and I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
but I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a post card to you dear
'Cause I wish you were here.
I'll watch the night turn light blue
but it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly.
The silence isn't so bad
'til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where your's fit perfectly.
I'll find repose in new ways
though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
but drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night,
Waist-deep in thought
because when I think of you
I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone
As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight
When violet eyes get brighter
and heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
and I'll forget the world that I knew
but I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear,
"Oh, darling I wish you were here"
West Coast Friendship
Are you out there?
Where the rainy days begin.
To feel rather sad,
And the walls are closing in, like the darkness around me.
It's so hard to look away when the daylight doesn't ever stay.
Above this dull apartment view,
Oh I will surround you.
It's quite clear, that I'm stuck here.
So I'll devise a plan and cut out a door,
In my new living room floor.
The porch light is so bright,
That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape,
Of the rusty fire escape.
I bought a one way ticket, cause I knew I'd never see the groud.
Unless I was aboard a jet plane, and we were going down.
When I wiped the tears from my eyes, the warm water took me by surprise.
And I woke up beside the ocean, and I realized,
I must be in California.
Aloha, my happy westcoast friends.
Do you feel alive, when the breaking waves arive, and rush all around you.
The beach homes and ocean sight are quite well known by the evening tide.
And we can sleep where we reside, 'cause red was around us.
The blue air, is up there. And could I bring it down I'd bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night.
I bought a one way ticket, 'Cause I know I'd never see the ground. Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down.
When I wiped the tears from my eyes, the warm water took me by surprise.
And I woke up beside the ocean, and realized.
I must be in California.(x2)
Am I awake or is this just a dream?
The new year, is out here, and I will make a lovely list of your charms, so I never feel alone in your arms.
I must be in California(x3)
