We Could Go Somewhere
02:55
|
|||
I love you, so let's run up the coast
You're the one who I cherish the most
And if we get the chance
To see the water off to the side
To see the coming of tide
Remake a world a world we couldn't abide
Now I'm not the kind to pick truth above dare,
But I truly believe we could go somewhere
Before you, I'd lost much more than I'd found
We're breaking 90, we're breaking past all the sound
And if we get the chance
To fish in Charleston along the way
To feel the will of the waves
To rock us, hold us, and sway
Now I'm not the kind to pick truth above dare,
But I truly believe we could go somewhere
I love you, do you think of me still?
Or do you even think it was real?
And if I had the chance
To tell you this to your face
If only time could erase
This mess and get me out of the place
Now I'm not the kind to pick truth above dare,
But I truly believed we could go somewhere

Flaming Creature
02:06
|

Did you see straight that night
When you said you went to Brown
And there were rhinestones in your eyes
Got late, the flytrap and I took flight
Rode the train back across town
Without a single goodbye
Flaming creature, when will I see your face again
Now fortune's beat your heart against mine
Cold night, but Princess Taco was right
When she said you would go far
So far we'd only seen light it was
So bright, the force of you made me blind
But on the train, oh I saw rainbows
I saw worlds beyond sight
Flaming creature, when will I see your face again
Now fortune's beat your heart against mine
We plunged, flew, or fell who can tell
Blazing past the past that burned us
Boy we jumped out of hell
We wove the wildest spells
When on enchanted autumn leaves
I swear we made the earth swell
Flaming creature, when will I see your face again
Now fortune's beat your heart against mine

I Know a Boy
04:16
|

I know a boy with eyes so bright it hurts
And I never want to leave
This fort we've made of sheets
He knows that I never will desert him
Because with those eyes he sees
The magic within me
Out of the window and down in the streets
There are voices like crack like a whip
But I'm in his arms and he kisses my scars
And all that's wrong feels right
So out of the window we jump onto stars
And learn to love in the night
I know a boy whose laugh can break me down
Whose lips tastes like gin
When we've fallen once again
From paths that we knew would run us to the ground
Though the light is dim
I can still see him
But out of the window and down in the streets
There are voices that crack like a whip
But I'm in his arms and he kisses my scars
And all that's wrong feels right
So out of the window we jump onto stars
And learn to love in the night
I know a boy who wouldn't think to hide
From words that burn like war
Or this life we're fighting for
He knows that I will fight right by his side
And forge from stories old
New magic made of gold
But out of the window and down in the streets
There are voices that crack like a whip
But I'm in his arms and he kisses my scars
And all that's wrong feels right
So out of the window we jump onto stars
And learn to love in the night

It's Fine
03:02
|
|||
There at the back of your spine
That's where the feeling lies
When somehow your words hit like wine
And the feeling starts to rise
To my chest and my heart
And it tears me apart
It's no use, my best
When I try to protest
But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine
Then at the end of the day
When all the lonesome souls have gone away
You ask me to stay
Okay
But my skin, and your eyes
In the stillness of night
We fall in, and we lie
In the treehouse of youth we tried
But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine
If I was made for you
In falling the edges went askew
But maybe we could undo
Ourselves and start anew
But my hands say please
When I'm down on my knees
Then you look at me
And I see what we could never be
But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
Now here it's clear in my mind
That here's where the feeling dies

Till I Close My Eyes
03:48
|
|||
In a swamp two steps from the home I knew
I saw a flower growing
Bodies wet under balmy dew
Crushing petals to Bowie
Stay stay stay with me
Lay lay lay with me
Sing me lullabies
Till I close my eyes
Lone star night no stars in sight
Neon glowing
Sweat rolls red like blood and wine
God it's flowing
Stay stay stay with me
Lay lay lay with me
Sing me lullabies
Till i close my eyes
Two step deep breath boy you're fine
Is this knowing?
Broke wife broke life he takes mine
Heartbeat slowing
Stay stay stay with me
Lay lay lay with me
Sing me lullabies
Till I close my eyes
In a swamp two steps from the home I knew
I saw a flower growing
Now all I wanted has come true
Now I'm showing
Stay stay stay with me
Lay lay lay with me
Sing me lullabies
Till I close my eyes

Tar Black Blues
04:37
|
|||
It's 3am I'm at the bar
And the night outside is black like tar
And the last call still can't take me far
From wondering where you are
Well my mom tells me that I'm a fool
To love someone so mean and cruel
Tells me this one, he ain't good for you
But oh my heart what can I do?
So here I stayed and I prayed and I paid the cost of loving you.
Now I'm so mad I'm so lonely and sad cause I lost the only love I knew
Now I know it's true what I've been told
That heartache makes the young grow old
But when heartache's all I've got to hold
Then I'll take it though it keeps me cold
We said words that stabbed into our sides
And you looked at me with those cold finished eyes
On that quilt we laid down all the lies
Then like a baby I laid down and I cried and I cried
Cause here I stayed and I prayed and i paid the cost of loving you
Now I'm so mad I'm so lonely and sad cause i lost the only love I knew
It's a movie we all know from start to end
Where boy meets boy meets the boy and it begins
A losing game where no one ever wins
Then the scene where I can't pretend
That I don't know what is going on
When you call me and tell me you were wrong
But mark my words every single one
By morning boy I'll be gone gone gone
Cause here I stayed and I prayed and I paid the coast of loving you
Now I'm so mad I'm so lonely and sad I lost the only love I knew
I've lost the only love I knew
Now I'm alone so sad and blue

Blossom Song
03:16
|
|||
Like one drop in the water,
Could not feel smaller
When I'm standing next to you
Now most wouldn't bother
To take this path further,
But you're not like the rest, are you?
Wait, the blossoms in the air
Are falling on your hair,
The colors pale and true.
Wait, there's love here if we dare
To lay our bodies bare,
Forget the words we've used.
But let these words go through
That whatever road you choose
There's a place for you
I'll make space for you
I will wait for you
The first kiss, the first embrace
The first smile that found your hair
When I walked next to you
It's worse knowing there's a place
In my mind I can't erase
When I walked next to you
Wait, the blossoms in the air
Are falling on your hair,
The colors pale and true.
Wait, there's love here if we dare
To lay our bodies bare,
Forget the words we've used.
But let these words go through
That whatever road you choose
There's a place for you
I'll make space for you
I will wait for you

Hello Yellow Brick Road
02:30
|
|||
Hello yellow brick road I laid to show me the way
Whose winding path looked better yesterday
But now I'm waking up and retching at the sight
Of a road I didn't choose and didn't think to fight
Do these bricks stay still when I throw them to sea
Or do they float float float away from me?
Will i sink sink sink under all that weight
And now i think think think I've made a mistake.
I need to take some time, I need to figure shit out
Figure what this world is all about.
Now I'm your man and baby I'm your boy
But is our love that kind that marched into Troy
And said, "Hey, nay well isn't this great?"
And it feels so good that it must be fate,
But these ropes are real and baby don't you feel
That this wicked world will never heal heal heal?
Now I believe in the power of threes
But baby ain't no ghost gonna set us free
So come on Dorothy dear, let's get out of here
And drop the whole damn house on this American fear
Well I'm a good little bitch, and I'm a wicked witch
But hey so are you, so let's get out of this ditch because
If we stay stay stay, then we're better off dead
So let's fly away from the lies they've said
Now we'll be crushed on land and maybe drowned at sea
But baby all that water sounds good to me
So let's start a fire in the ocean blue
And you'll sink in me and I'll sink in you.

Fireflies
02:32
|
|||
I wanna be close to you,
So come on over and take me.
I know you feel it too,
Don't be afraid to break me.
Cause in the night,
My heart burns like fireflies
The breeze whispers, "Please
Can we fly away from here?"
I wanna make love to you
So kiss me like you mean it
I love the way you move
So come on and make me feel it
Cause in the night,
My heart burns like fireflies
The breeze whispers, "Please
Can we fly fly away from here?"
And in the fading light
We danced on roofs
And when the morning came
I felt my body change
The cells arranged so new
There's magic in the air
I feel your hair and know
It's there, it's there, it's there
When I am breathing you.
Cause in the night,
My heart burns like fireflies
The breeze whispers, "Please
Can we fly fly away from here?"
