Awkward People
05:58
|
|||
|
Awkward people walk on our streets,
Stiffened backs and arms that don’t swing
Where are they going? What do they know?
That I don’t
Awkward people think clearly too,
A weathered highway between mind and mouth
They know where they're going; they're always there
They never had a place to start
Oh, there’s a far better chance that I will win,
So get back in the car, we’ll take a spin
Never mind all the colours and trees you’ll see;
Try to focus here on you and me

No Ghost, No Mess
03:56
|

|
Are you leaving? Or just getting in?
It’s hard for me to tell
Are you staying? Or just waiting out?
It’s hard for me to tell
You won’t be so lucky
No ghost, no mess
So long, my friend
You're buzzing around my head
So long, my friend
What’s the story now? Just wait it out?
It’s hard for me to tell

On the Fence
04:37
|
|||
|
I'm on the fence;
Observing, wandering
Which way to slip?
Which way to borrow another step?
Which way to God?
I'll cut my losses now
Well, it had never even fazed you!
Am I right?
Am I easily swayed?
And with a minor blow,
You're perfect in lovers' eyes;
And so it goes,
It's something to advertise
I'm all liquored up;
And you're a house;
I used to visit
How I get so nostalgiac when I'm fed up
Am I right?
Am I easily swayed?

Lose the Attitude
04:57
|
|||
|
Your words are well received;
Finding it hard to breathe
What, do you have simple thoughts?
Your purpose is in question;
Your will is strong and destined;
And I don't know why I stay
Looking out to view was a gamble;
Opportunity looked, Complacency ruled
Oh, you have had too many;
Trust me, I know
Pacing around back and forth;
Never planted in one place;
And I don't know why I stay
Lose the Attitude,
Lose the Attitude,
Lose the Attitude

Heavy in Step
04:19
|
|||
|
My head’s the lightest that it’s ever been;
Perhaps you could help lift my legs
For all the ideas never to return;
I’ve never seen a smile quite like that
My head’s the lightest it’s ever been
Just a little heavy in step,
Just a little heavy in step
Your hair’s the darkest that I’ve ever seen;
A race to see the top will prove nothing
I won’t concede, you won’t succeed;
That's my bet
I’ve never seen a smile quite like yours
Just a little heavy in step,
Just a little heavy in step

Between Lakes
04:12
|

|
Five more and you'll be home, son;
You didn't expect me to run
Get some wine; we'll fill our faces
I could not avoid all of your graces
All of us; We're in it for the haul,
Or at least until we hit that wall
When inside; just like you said
My tongue tasted the stalest bread
You would knock, and I would answer
I sure am glad I found her
I sure hope my mind don't get as feeble,
'Cause I thought this church would have more people

What You Look Like
04:33
|
|||
|
You move too fast, I will never catch you;
Colour on the lines, it’s the surest sign;
When the sweet grass grows
In between the boards of a run down shed
You'll want to mind what’s said;
Or you’ll wind up dead
Because the flashing lights brighten up your eyes;
When the dimming smiles are controlled by dials;
I can see the followers you choose;
I can see when you will start to lose
You know what you look like with your eyes closed,
You know what you look like with your eyes closed,
You know what you look like with your eyes closed;
When smoke meets cloud we’ll see who cares
When you’ve receded back to the lowest tide,
It will never feel better, even when you cry;
When the sweet grass grows
In between the boards of a run down shed
You'll want to mind what’s said;
Or you’ll wind up dead

None the Wiser
03:18
|
|||
|
Listen, Feel, Absorb, Relax, Reflect;
How'd it go?
What do you think?
Take it all in;
Take it all apart;
Take it in stride
Your eyes are wide;
As are mine
We're stuck here;
Oh, I just realized
He told me he was numb today;
I didn't know what to say,
So I smiled like I understood
Behold the man;
Can't handle his plan;
So I'll sit down again;
The place I do every week
The new day is none the wiser,
and neither am I;
We're stuck here;
Oh, I just realized

Patience My Patient
05:15
|
|||
|
Patience, my patient;
You’ll be alright
Colour on your napkin,
But stay in the lines
The spot on the ground;
Confuses your mind
A thousand times you’ve seen it
But you won’t find comfort in there
Each glance a little change;
A darker blue
Every time you mention it;
Receding back to
Patience, my patient;
The volume’s down
At an even setting,
Just how you need it
Think of the last time you held her hand
Followed by a November;
But you won't find comfort in there;
Comfort, despair;
Comfort
