The Ocean Bed
03:41
|
|||
you say you want me out of here
but my heart is anchored down
you’ll have to drain the ocean bed
and leave me there for dead
don’t call my heart a liar, love
was my fear that did you wrong
and I’d travel back and change things
but the current of time is too strong
underneath the words I blurted out
were the things I meant to say
behind the failures I conceived
is a love that’s pure and sweet
and I’m sorry if you can’t see it, love
but you were never wrong to believe
and if you could reconsider, please
I would give you all you need

Tenderfoot
02:52
|
|||
forever I dreamt about you
from the edges of the county line
sewn in a cocoon of sound
shape-shifting into
somebody new
for you
but I dreamt
I was encircled in light
and I was
all that you could see or hear or feel
or you could want
you wanted me
forever I kicked the walls, but
nobody ever heard a sound
I sang songs of the isolation
but never learned how
to sort any of it out
so I dreamt
you were inside my room
and you were
all that I could smell or taste or touch
and you were real
forever I dreamt about you
by some kind of magic you came true
but I am a tenderfoot
just searchin' for grace
tryin' to save face

Who Will I Be For You
05:37
|
|||
will I be something you wanted?
will I be something else?
will I be the one that you needed
or will I be someone else?
in fragments, memories break down
a jigsaw past
incomplete
but I’ll try and piece it together
to see who I was
who I am and
who I will be for you
who will I be for you?
who
who will I be for you?
who
who will I be for you?
who
who will I be for you?
who will I be?
who will I be for you?
when did I lose what you have?
when did I see in the mirror
all of the broken moments
all of the ugly truths and fears?
and I’ve gotta get out of my head
let go of this self-destruction
cause I want to see you through this
terrifying
unforgiving
awe-inspiring
world
who will I be for you?
who
who will I be for you?
who
who will I be for you?
who
who will I be for you?
who will I be?
who will I be for you?

Ring Around the Moon
03:37
|
|||
looking at the ring around the moon
praying that it don’t mean bad weather soon
hoping that the sun can raise the dead
so maybe I can get out of my bed
but did you ever see me?
maybe you took a picture
of who I used to be
burrowed in an office, blinds are closed
someone said “look out and see the snow”
but seeing what I can not touch is no…
no way to get my mind off of these woes
they’re always in my head
oh, the things I could have been
places I could have seen
the light
it so eludes
the lazy eye
through which it’s viewed
from outside the ring around the moon
looking at the ring around the moon
praying that it don’t mean bad weather soon
hoping the sun can raise the dead
so maybe I can get out of my bed
have I any time to change it?
the ending to the story
of who I’m supposed to be

Hideaway
04:01
|
|||
let’s get out of town tonight
and feel alive
you can drive
our wheels turn counterclockwise
with the dim light
we fade from sight
remember what it was to be
oh so free
nowhere to be
old songs on the radio
they fill the air
we’re almost there
it saves my soul to feel this way
to leave all of this behind
but if it’s back in the morning
when we feel the sun come up
promise we won’t give up
what’s wrong?
what’s wrong?
they’re never gonna take
the hideaway
away from me
so long
so long
they’re never gonna take
the hideaway
away
and if you go
I’m only gonna follow
and where you stay
it’s where I’m gonna stay tonight
it saves my soul to feel this way
to leave all the bullshit behind
but it if it’s back in the morning
when we feel the sun come up
promise we won’t give up
what’s wrong?
what’s wrong?
they’re never gonna take
the hideaway
away from me
so long
so long
they’re never gonna take
the hideaway
away

Olivia and Courage
04:59
|
|||
a moment strikes in daylight
a quaking, avalanching sound
and though we settled on high
the pangs of grief descended down
without belief, what could I do
with this heavy heart
it’s that relief that tows me through
the hardest part
Olivia and Courage know
that it will all be fine
but I’ll have to wait until
it’s my time
til it’s my time
such a sight for sore eyes
this distant light I’ve leaned into
and such a long, long night it’s been
but you illuminate my view
without belief, what could I do
with this broken heart
it’s that relief that gets me
through the hard parts
Olivia and Courage knew
that it would all be fine
but I had to wait until
it was my time
til it was my time
