She Left The House
04:54
|
|||
She left the house today she was in a panic
She said I can't be left out this time
She fell down and I could see she was bleeding
Don't you dare help me up
I've been up and I've been down
Seems this world just wants to spin around
Proceeds to mutter under her breathe
Heard something like, I'm not afraid of death
Working up the nerve I ask, what are you going through?
She said, I'll sleep here if I have to
I've been up and I've been down
Seems this world just wants to spin around
I fell through the ice again
It's not the way I thought it would end
It's neither here nor is it there
Still I think I've had my fair share
I know it's not what you were thinking about
But you won't leave here with any shred of doubt

I May Never Find Home
03:50
|
|||
As I walk through the fields with the mud on my heels in no particular frame of mind
In a wink of an eye checkered skyline creeps up on me
A momentary haze and all the grass is ablaze
Could you light up what you hold?
Would you be so bold? / Talking so loud
It's not what I gave
Maybe one of these days you might call me brave
Can I get up off my feet
I may lose some sleep
Well maybe the breeze is good for me
Really moves my feet along the road
I may never find home
You say look what I built
Well maybe not without guilt / Oh someone helped you

Better Half
05:30
|
|||
I've been walking 'round for a while now
Trying to find / Trying to find all of my time
Time and words / Right words make it easy
The better half / A cause for laughs
You choose your path
Falling off the rails once more
I land at your door
Trying to find / Trying to find all of my time
Shuffling along the days
Trying to know / Trying to breathe a little life, little life, little life
The better half / A cause for laughs
You choose your path

Nervous GIrl
03:30
|
|||
Up and down the room / You're a nervous girl
You don't think it's fair / You're a nervous girl
What would you rather I had done for you honey?
I can't just look the other way
Regretting the call you made / You're a nervous girl
All the colours in the world / The sounds of your words
What would you rather I had done for you honey?
I can't just look the other way
What would you rather I had done for you honey?
I can't just make it go away

Long Time Listener
02:57
|
|||
You may speak / Of what we'll be
You may speak / Just to make a sound
Long time listener / First time caller
Sudden scholar coming out from under
You can't just believe / In what you always see
Or you may just receive / Everything that you don't need
I was getting there / Thought I gave you quite a scare
I was waiting for you to speak / I was waiting for my
Long time listener / First time caller
Sudden scholar coming out from under

In The Morning
03:02
|
|||
In the morning cold weather
Raining on my head again
Soaking through my clothes
In the morning no better
I know it's you in there
What will it take to wash you away?
In the morning I wake up
I know we're not the same
I've sung of you before
And I sing about you now
I know it's you in my dreams
What will it take to wash you away?

Man Under Pressure
04:33
|
|||
I was thinking of a man I knew
Sleeping in a sealed off room
Would he know what time to rise?
Or would old lovers stop on by?
I was thinking of what I'd do
If I had never talked to you
Would I waste away and miss the day?
Or would I just go on lying?
How do you think you would fare?
No food or water for you
You put a man under pressure and see what he will do

Bad Advice
04:41
|
|||
Sloppy night / Bad advice
Looking for a window
All the while and for lack of style
You're pushing for the excess
Don't forget what I told you long ago
The bright ideas they all come and go
Out of line / Christmas time
Hollow burning bridge
Out of sight / You were so polite
Coming up from nothing
So I harness my fear, look at my peers
How'd I get into this
Proof and pain / What more to gain?
Empty falling over
You hear that sound?
It goes around it softens up the blows
There may be times where you feel you're going too slow
Remember those bright ideas they all come and go
You hear that sound?
It goes around your head
May all your troubles be locked up safe and sound
You have a job to do / Don't ask why it's you
And I hope / I hope we can think this through
Bright ideas / They all come and go

Oh The North
04:49
|
|||
I keep coming back again
Oh, you're such a warming friend
All the land I've yet to conquer
I keep coming back again
Bit of luck I've never had
I'm sure I thought of everything
Finding out the hard way
Seems the only way to learn
Oh, the north
Oh, the north
I keep coming back again
So we go a little further without holding to the sides
All I can see stretching 80 miles wide
And I'm feeling this could be our home
Feeling all the pressure in my bones
Feeling this could be our home
Feeling all the pressure in my bones
With your smile and a bright face
I knew I couldn't leave this place
And all the trouble left be beyond our wake
I feel the comfort I feel no pain
You see it in the leaves
And you breathe it in the air
I swore I'd never fight
Just sit back and cast my line

How Long How Far
09:20
|
|||
Slept through the day and you tossed it away
In your head, in your home
And oh how you fight as if it were black and white
Another instance, another wash
It hurts, it stings
Soon we may have another song to sing
Time slips on and on as you tap to some old song
Harvest all the same, no need to feel the pain
Calm your head, settle down
And all that you know is what you were told
I don't blame you, it's not your fault
It hurts, it stings
Soon we may have another song to sing
Time does what it does best so settle in and try to rest
Holding your heart / But let's not all come apart
Patience is a lovely art
Lift your head and look around / It's all still here
Take some time / Fill your mind
You cannot wait 'til morning comes
Cannot wait 'til something's done
Cannot help but ask
How long? / How far?
How long? / How far?
How long? / How far?
