Final Days

I hope I didn’t let you down

‘Cause it’s too late to make a change

You’ve lived a hundred lives before me

So self-involved to think that I could hold that weight

Like a mother to them all,

With your arms stretched open wide

I hope you hear that heaven’s call

I hope they’re letting you inside

 

You look good like I remember

With all that sunshine on your face

I let you sit there without talking,

You let me sit there in your shade

You let me dream about the future

and all the plans we had to make

I hope I’m wrong about the after

and these are not your final days

 

Could’ve said I’m frightened but I couldn’t, I didn’t have the heart

Are you scared of dying? I couldn’t, I didn’t have the heart

So I said it’s waiting, your own true paradise

didn’t have the heart so I lied just to not see you cry

Yeah I didn’t, I didn’t have the heart

 

The world will go on spinning

Another day another scene

and I’ll be left with just a memory

and yesterday will be a dream

 

I’ll be looking out there for you

where all they see is empty sky

The space you left reminds me

that we don’t have to say goodbye

 

Could’ve said I’m frightened but I couldn’t, I didn’t have the heart

Are you scared of dying? I couldn’t, I didn’t have the heart

So I said it’s waiting, your own true paradise

didn’t have the heart, I didn’t have the heart

So I said it’s waiting, your own true paradise

didn’t have the heart so I lied just to not see you cry

Yeah I didn’t, I didn’t have the heart

 

Gold Rush

Heart of gold, heart in a cast

Happy times, times when we’re sad

I’ll never leave, I’ll never leave

Strong in mind, weak in the knees

Easy go, so hard to please

I’ll never leave, I’ll never leave

 

No such luck, too much to prove

So much love, too much to lose

I’ll never leave, I’ll never leave

Ask me why, leave me alone

Push and pull, feels right at home

I’ll never leave, I’ll never leave (gold rush)

I’ll never leave, I’ll never leave (gold rush)

 

Sugar rushes, honey, it’s high and low

You’ve got something sweeter than liquid gold

‘Til the end, right from the start

Act your age, stay young at heart

I’ll never leave, I’ll never leave

You and me, paving the way

Dreams come true, or the mundane

I wanna see, I wanna see

I’ll never leave, I’ll never leave

 

Sugar rushes, honey, it’s high and low

You’ve got something sweeter than liquid gold

 

Sugar rushes, honey, it’s high and low

You’ve got something sweeter than liquid gold

Sugar rushes, honey, it’s high and low

You’ve got something sweeter than liquid gold

 

Do It All For You

I lose myself to find you

and you save me every time

You know I’d wash away all of your sadness

while I hang myself to dry

 

Pierce my own reflection, just so you will stay

I will sit on the ledge of our love

and let you push me off

 

I’d do it all for you

I’d do it all for you

I do it all for you

 

One day, when we’re looking back

even if it’s a whole damn mess

I won’t forget the feeling, when you said

“I love you from the floor through the ceiling”

 

I’d do it all for you

I’d do it all for you

I do it all for you

 

Inside and out with my eyes closed I know you

Inside and out with my eyes closed I know you

 

(I’d do it all for you)

Inside and out with my eyes closed I know you

(I’d do it all for you)

Inside and out with my eyes closed I love you

 

Mad Love

Deep are these valleys

deep and cutting, are our words these days

High as the mountains, I’m high as a kite

and I won’t win this fight with myself again

 

Mad Love

spinning around like a carousel in a storm

Slow it down

suddenly here I’m falling

like falling in love again

 

Soft are the pastel downtown city skies

They look so pretty, depending on the light

Hard are the moments we don’t see eye to eye

and we’re left longing to get back to you and I

 

Mad Love

spinning around like a carousel in a storm

Slow it down

suddenly here I’m falling

like falling in love again

 

Mad Love

spinning around like a carousel

Slow it down

suddenly here I’m falling

like falling in love again

 

Stranger Danger

It’s so cold

I feel it in the backbeat

Covered up

with a nice warm melody

Put the kettle on, sit and watch the tv

Write another song in another key

 

People talk

they never really mean it

Walk the walk

whenever it’s convenient

Turn the other cheek, if the money’s looking greener

Where’s the empathy when you need it?

 

Stranger danger

Losing touch with mother nature

Who is gonna be her savior?

 

What is home

possessions or the feeling

Add one on

start to hit the ceiling

Further from the truth, closer to revealing

the damage has been done

And now what?

 

Stranger danger

Losing touch with mother nature

Who is gonna be her savior?

 

Going through the motions

I’m a little frozen, feeling numb

Going through the motions

Looking for a reason, feeling numb

Feeling numb

 

Going through the motions

I’m a little frozen, feeling numb

Going through the motions

Looking for a reason, I’m feeling numb

Feeling numb, feeling numb

 

I’m a little frozen

Can’t make up my mind

Feeling numb

 

I’m a little frozen

Can’t make up my mind

Feeling numb

 

Hallways

I will buy you flowers

and put ‘em in a crown

You rule my world, you make it melt

you make the songs out of the sounds

And every time I lose my mind, you never ask it to be found

You let it roam, you let it cry, you always let me come around

I’ll always come around

 

I will put the work in

give it everything I’ve got

‘Cause what we have is perfect, even when it’s not

Like when I try to prove I’m right, you let me talk my way back out

You let it go, you let it die, you always let me come around

I’ll come around

 

I can’t see the ending from the start

Scared of what is swimming in the dark

I’m running through the hallways

and I never find the right room

But then I wake up and you’re right there

All I was looking for was you

 

I will make my mind up

and change it every hour

I’m still trying to figure out if I’m a weed or I’m a flower

And you just kinda laugh it off and wait around to see it bloom

You say I’m a garden, that I’m more than just the two

Watch it bloom

 

I can’t see the ending from the start

Scared of what is swimming in the dark

And I’m running through the hallways

and I never find the right room

But then I wake up and you’re right there

All I was looking for was you

 

And I’m running through the hallways

and I never find the right room

But then I wake up and you’re right there

All I was looking for was you

 

All I was looking for was you

looking for was you

All I was looking for was you

 

Old Tape

The critic mind is here today

the same old thing as yesterday

In the shower, the yard, and on the bike

it’s cold as ice

 

Spoil the picnic, spoil the fun

spoiling ad nauseam

In the universe the clouds are clear

and my baby’s here

 

The sorry words I tell myself (it’s playing again, it’s playing again)

The ancient thoughts of someone else (it’s playing again, it’s playing again)

 

and once in a while

you turn up the dial

to an old tape playing in my head

to an old tape playing in my head

I’ll tune it out and live instead

I’ll tune it out and live instead

 

What did I find in a broken heart?

A pig, a dig and a faulty start

You’re more gentle than I’ll ever be

so be gentle with me

 

The sorry words I tell myself (it’s playing again, it’s playing again)

The ancient thoughts of someone else (it’s playing again, it’s playing again)

 

and once in a while

you turn up the dial

to an old tape playing in my head

to an old tape playing in my head

I’ll tune it out and live instead

I’ll tune it out and live instead

 

And Once in a while

you turn up the dial

to an old tape playing in my head

to an old tape playing in my head

I’ll tune it out and live instead

I’ll tune it out and live instead

 

I’ll tune it out and live instead

I’ll tune it out and live instead

I’ll tune it out and live instead

 

Once in a while

you turn up the dial

to an old tape playing in my head

to an old tape playing in my head

I’ll tune it out and live instead

 

Impressions

Stare in my direction

Stand a little closer

Maybe it’s not like it was in your mind

Mirror to mirror

There’s no looking past her

Nothing comes as easy as a natural disaster

 

Half of me is here and half of me is running

Half of me is wishing I decided on something

 

I’ve been doing all my best impressions

of a life that isn’t mine

I keep reaching for that old expression

but it never comes out right

like how living is just dying slowly

til it stares you in the eye

 

Sucker for the scare and a mess of a domestic

If I didn’t have to then I wouldn’t address it

Doesn’t makes sense

when you make any sense of it

So what is the use in assessing the damages?

 

I’ve been doing all my best impressions

of a life that isn’t mine

I keep reaching for that old expression

but it never comes out right

I keep reaching for that old expression

but it never comes out right

Like how living is just dying slowly

‘til it stares you in the eye

‘til it stares you in the eye

‘til l it stares you in the eye

 

Borderline

Maybe in time

you’ll be starting over

on the other side

you’ll walk the line

 

It’s no kinda life, looking over your shoulder

You’ll only find what you’re trying to hide

 

Even when you say that it’s over

Trying to convince me you’re doin fine

I can see that borderline

 

Maybe in time, when hell freezes over

I’ll be surprised, you’ll be satisfied

 

Honey, I’m tired

looking for the old you

The one that I would recognize

 

Even when you say that it’s over

Trying to convince me you’re doin fine

I can see that borderline in your eyes

 

Even when you say that it’s over

Trying to convince me you’re doin fine

I can see that borderline in your eyes

Every time you lie

 

Every time you lie

Every time you lie

 

Orange Blossoms

Brush it off, let it roll

Nothing’s ever set in stone

But I wish I could forget

All the names of my regrets

 

Pick a number, go ahead and take a seat

Seasons change we gotta wait it out and see

All the orange blossoms bloom

and the air is filled with you

and me

 

And we’re under the stars, looking up

Light in the dark

Sky view

 

Kill our egos and give a little speech

Throw in some roses and start burying them deep

Take each other’s hand

Try and get back on dry land

 

And we’re under the stars, looking up

Light in the dark

Sky view

 

Try not to cue the violins

Don’t need to break the thing that bends

The lower bar, the upper hand

If we don’t fly, we’ll never land

 

And we’re under the stars, looking up

Light in the dark

Sky view

Under the stars, looking up

Light in the dark

Sky view

 

Brush it off, let it roll

Nothing’s ever set in stone

 

At The End of The Day

At the end of the day

when the house is quiet

Everybody’s asleep, I’m pouring my drink, and we’re searching our eyes

Looking for the gaze we used to hold or it used to hold us

and we can’t find it’s arms

They’re just two thumbs up, hitching a ride

 

At the end of the day

in the threads and the bleach

All the shit in the yard, and the bills piling up, they keep calling and, Jesus

I think we’re the last thing on my mind, but we know what we’re missing

and there’s only you

and you say that, too

 

Off into the sunset is a long walk

 

At the end of the day

it’s the best thing we’ve done

I know we were soulmates, now we would both say he is the one

As the days and nights go by

we win and we lose

because our love grew

and our loneliness, too

 

Off into the sunset is a long walk

Off into the sunset is a long walk
