it's impressive / that for all this time / you've been able / to live this lie / i feel bad for ya baby / what a complicated web / for you to weave i hate to admit it / but i was in denial / i was blinded / to your cold betrayal / but i promise / you'll regret this / some time soon do you recall / when we were young / how our love / it came so easy? / you gave me your heart / in the back of my car / during the first snowfall of the season / we slept in our clothes / didn't want to go home / comfortable even if we were freezing / it was the calm before the storm / honey, your love always kept me warm i hope he loves you / with all his heart / took you for granted / and it tore us apart / you couldn't know it / but i'd do anything / just to see you smile

Good Old Days

it's the good old days / and they don't last long / it's the good old days / here and then they're gone away / it's the good old days
we’d spend our days / out in the world / playing ball at the park / and chasing girls / we'd run / outlast the sun
it's the good old days / and they don't last long / it's the good old days / here and then they're gone away / it's the good old days
we'd ride all night / without a care / our hair blowing in the warm summer air / we'd fly / kings of the night
you never know ‘til they're gone / you never know ‘til they're gone / you never know ‘til they're gone away / (it’s the good old days / it’s the good old days)
it's the good old days / and they don't last long (it’s the good old days) / it's the good old days / here and then they're gone away (never know until they're gone away) / it's the good old days

Floating On Air

floating on air / laughing amongst the clouds / i've been living scared / unsure what my life was about / then came the day / that we met, babe / my whole world was changed / yeah, yeah
every once in awhile / you'll look around you and smile / feel lucky to be / alive, with fresh air to breathe / but through and between / all these blessings / there's nothing that can come close
i love you most
floating on air / and i don't want to look down / afraid that i might fall / right back where i started from / now that i have vanquished my / past demons and ghosts
i love you most

Sunday, Someday

i woke up to your smile / 10 am on sunday morning / my t-shirt was the only thing / covering your skin / you laughed and said, “hey baby” / and kissed me on the forehead / you ran off into the shower / how i love to hear you sing
you drove us to the farmers market / to get honey and tomatoes / we’re having brunch at your mother’s house / and dinner back at mine's / tonight we’ll read our books / and listen to Jim Croce / tomorrow is encroaching / we both have work at 9
jump back into our bed / you startled me from dozing / your hands are warm against my chest / you pull me in real cozy / we kiss, i close my eyes / 1 am on monday morning / my consciousness begins to fade / and soon i’ll dream of you

Inside My Head
02:37
|

|
inside my head, all by myself / exploring the things that i've put on the shelves / i really should clean this messy old place / but i can't find the time with the eyes on my face / i rummage through memories long packed away / reading old thoughts to see what they say / i really don't know myself anymore / or do i? (it’s all, it’s all, it’s all) i am human / i'm inhumane / i am at peace / and i am in pain / and i am the sun / i am the rain / i am normal / i’m completely insane / i am hatred / i am in love / i am a rat / and i am a dove / i'm the grass below / and the clouds above / i'm a gentle kiss / and a violent shove (it’s all it’s all it’s all) inside my head, all by myself / exploring the things that i've put on the shelves / i really should clean this messy old place / but i can't find the time with the eyes on my face / i rummage through memories long packed away / reading old thoughts to see what they say / i really don't know myself anymore or do i? (it's all it's all it's all) inside my head

Granite Heart
04:45
|
|||
|
is it weak to feel defeated? / my granite heart's been split in two / and all my strength has been depleted / fighting fate to hold onto you / only say you love me if you mean it / don't tell me things to make me smile / 'cause lying's what got us here, baby / and that can't last but a little while we've both spent time, tears, sweat, and money / closing the chasm that separates / two souls that once were so enchanted / but flowers wilt and magic fades / i wish there was something here worth doing / to bring you back, to make this work / but i know you're just too far gone, my darling / and to try again would cause too much hurt i hope you find what you've been searching / i hope you'll be happy where you go / i'd tell you what you meant to me, sweetheart, yeah / but i think you already know / think of me always in the sunshine / and not the sad man that i've become / we've grown so fucking ugly, baby / in the death throes of our love saying goodbye won't ever suit me / i was never one to accept change / i just hope one day i'll feel better / because i'm so damn tired of the pain

i was impressed by her fierceness / and her grace as she performed / i didn't know the lyrics / but still tried to sing along / in the basement / of a mutual acquaintance / djembe had begun to play from the crowd / providing beat for poets to read aloud / we danced as if we were free / when nobody is / but it feels damn good to pretend to be i met some batshit zen lunatics / while out walking on my own / sat down to pray next to them / meditating sacred om / from the hillside / sun fell quickly from the sky / we wore crowns of wildflowers / and beneath them / we unsheathed beguiled smiles / we were art punks / we were drunk monks / we were young / warmed our faces / eating rays from the setting sun the pink house we got / back on westcott / had four floors / us on the third / we furnished it with hand-me-downs / and a couch pulled from the curb / a dozen roommates / always a crowd never much space / the walls were thin / and all of them / heard us make love / but rent was cheap and we had fun

time cannot be true / ‘cause i've had hours / that pass like minutes / and days that i was convinced / would never end / and measuring a moment / is counting drops inside an ocean / with its ebbing and its flowing / and its currents a-bending yeah, yeah, yeah and money is not real / no, not to me / but still my debtors / keep on calling / i've been working / 60 hours to stay ahead / there ain't no time for dreaming / don't waste the daylight, boy / keep yourself above / the arbitrary measures / of what it takes to be a man i get high as a kite most nights / honey I'm doing just fine / still got a steady job / try not to be a slob / got good friends to help me pass the time / we relax, and tip back / beers from the tap / listen to music at the local bar / ain't got no static dreams / it's the simple things / in life that we’re living for don't waste your time for money don't trade your time for money
