A LIFETIME

Allie woke up 8AM
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.

When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,
And drove to the beach
'Cause I knew you'd want it
That way.

And you were standing

A LIFETIME

Allie woke up 8AM
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.

When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,
And drove to the beach
'Cause I knew you'd want it
That way.

And you were standing

Kelly was a blackjack dealer living on the Gulf of Mexico
Kelly had a taste for guns and pills; he was looking for a mark to roll
Sarah was a Kappa from Tulane; she was looking for a little change of pace
When a cop pulled 'em over on the interstate, Kelly blew that car away

This Grey room,
This bunker,
The air is humming
Us to sleep

While outside,
The city hurries;
The endless worries
Are out of reach

Promise me we'll never leave this room,
A million years from now would be too soon.

The world is spinning turning day to

[Chorus]
All in, All in
You got me all in
Crank the music up
Let it never end
All in, All in
You got me all in
Til the sun come up
And we start again.

? likes Peter
Peter likes Paul
She caught em making out
In the cubicle
She ran and told her

Calmly, like a razor
I got us on the door,
Or i got a tape of 'clerks'
Someone left the night before.

So i go over later,
You're sitting in that chair
Smoking on your cigarette
Fingering you hair

So i get drunk and stoned,
Every time you come around.

She was a midwestern prom queen
Got a boyfriend headed out west
They ended up in the valley
In a one-room apartment, a disconnected phone, yeah

Now 5 years later she's single
She's got 2 kids and a note
And if she gets a moment to herself
She can remember how

The sigh
The color
Chestnut skin
And ends alone you hide the color
That's inside a hundred rivers

Here divide your heart in two
Just like the land, so many pieces that don't fit
That make a cloth for her to wear
She mends the rip
But you still see t

Maybe I should drop you at your door
Or leave tonight and vanish up the shore
Anywhere but here
It's three o clock we're driving in your car
You're screaming out the window at the stars
"Please don't drive me home"

Blame us cause we are who we are
Hate us cause you'

Baby
It's so close
Heart to heart
We won't be torn apart
Lately it's so hard
Try to feel my way in the dark
Still i question, wonder why
The world is spinnin' round and round
Half the time i'm upside down
Nothin' holds a castle to build to the ground
Yes i

Photo stills
In your wallet with the unpaid bills
And you show it like it means something
You could never know the pain it brings

And here you are
Standing in our drive
(when absence suits you best)
Letters and your cards
With no return address

[chorus:]

I'm on, 2, 3, 4
Wanna do your best tonight
Check, check

Cold day, stuck in my head
Wargames, interstates
Restless adolescence
Presidential motorcades
You know daddy's blowing words
Made of cigarette smoke
Mommy's always down on her knees
Late night, cock

Here you are now
Fresh from your wars
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were
Stripped to the bone
I thought you'd want to know

Chorus:
When you feel the world is
Crashing all around your
Feet come running headlong
Into my arms...
Breathless

Wake me up
Slap my face
Draw me closer in
To your embrace

Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke
And nobody wants to be the one to pull the rope
So you harden your shell
Slowly losing yourself

And now I'm close
But not touching
And I'm cold

On a tuesday in december
When you walked out i remember
You were smiling as you turned 'round
In the hallway, lingered in the doorway

Still the words you said to me
They make me think of how we used to be

Chorus:
Hand to my heart
I want to be the one who alway

Lay down your hair,
The blue in your hair.
Hold everything,
That you have in your life.
And i think you'll find -
That i'm not sure what this means.
When you realize -
You start lettin' go of things.
Burnin the map,
Lightin you up.
Light comes again,
A

Well they almost had you down
I was beat back, look in the mirror and
Like your thoughtless mother
I'm not bound to walk in your footsteps
Well this has gotta change
I can't go on with the nine to five
I gotta rearrange
Lord, i swear it's gotta change
And no-one e

Well how the times have changed
Looking back, it seems so clear now
Everything you wanted in your life
Everything is certain
Try and understand
Put a checklist on your wall
I am not what you think I should be
(Chorus)
But you're making amends
To your circle of

"Closer"
Better Than Ezra

And the morning light was breaking
Slowly moving across the bed
He gets up without her waking
To the voices in his head

Through the shadows in the hallway
To the room they painted blue
And on the inside he is frightened
At a loss

Looking around the house. Hidden behind the window and the door. Searching for signs of life but there's nobody home. Well, maybe I'm just too sure. Maybe I'm just too frightened by the sound
