I remember when we were so young like new sheets on the bed.
Felt the cool touch of love like it begins, just like it's never going to end.
I could see the light coming off us.
Like old stars in the night there was
Only so much shining we could do
Before our light ran through

Maybe baby we're just tired
And I don't really feel lonely by your side
So low whispered in your ear
"Hold me closely while I'm here."

Pale moon I'd turn the tides for you
If I still thought you'd notice if I do
Maybe baby we're just tired and
When you wake up I'll

What were you waiting for?
The desert's not getting any smaller,
We're not getting any younger,
So hand me a gun,
It's on,
It's war.

I've let the last few years
Slip through my fingertips like sand,
But with Connecticut a million miles away
You can't tell me

They called you on your bluff
Your good intentions weren't ever
Good enough to keep their minds from making up
Is it alright if I don't come out tonight

And we let the old rules turn their pages for a while?
I'm like a match that won't light
I toe a line I can't fight;<

I've been waiting for the words to clear my throat,
And I've been waiting for my fingertips to fret forgotten notes.

There is so much here that I don't know,
And they've been staring at the clouds above my head praying for snow

What if everything that you ever loved more than

In the dream that awakened me,
You had come and taken me
To a sea of stars.
The cat stood in the flowers two ears above.

And the ground that was under me
Was holding me so wonderfully
On a bed of leaves
And you were there with me, we were free.

And everything

A knock on the door from an old friend
That you thought that you'd never see again
You prayed that the sad seasons
Would end, but they weren't listening
So take your coat from the bin under the bed

I watched it go away in the pale reflection of my face.
I count the hour

Scratch your days in the wall.
Count your nights like the friends that never call.
Peel the skin from your fingers 'til there's nothing at all.
You can tell by this mess that this is something you never through you'd miss.
Is it breaking you down or just breaking your fall?

Oh danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you 'tis you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with sno

Take me somewhere where the summer never ends,
And we count the seasons by the corners of your bed.
Today the dog sleeps in and we dress ourselves in blankets once again.

'Cause there's a list of plan that I've been meaning to make
But every day is just a promise that I'll brea

Oh, shake me down;
I'm the son of a never-ending doubt.
Love, please hang around,
Because I'm the kind of wreck you read about and I'm sinking now.

I'm finding new ways to burn,
Disassemble,
Disappear like a half-woke dream.
These days I barely remind or resemble th

For answers, address your questions to the mirror
Because I'm losing it.
Failure has grown to feel just like a standard
That we never set

When is "enough now." enough?
When do you admit that you're done?
Because God only knows what they'll say about me
When the curt

Maybe we lost our place
And all I need to say is,
"Come and find me like an old crease in the page."
I'm figuring it's too late,
But I'll ask you just the same
What it pays to keep yourself so far away.

You keep yourself so far away
Don't be long, don't be long

Place your bets,
They've been dealing you a fixed deck over and over.
Came and went,
Are the days when your heart can't break if your back is turned.

Simple, sad, and slow,
Hum the first bar and leave me alone.
Leave me alone.
If there's more to this life than my ne

There is a light that never goes out
But try as I might, I can't seem to find it now
I promised I'd be true come high water or hell
I told you that I'd hold you through student loans and dry spells,
But sometimes promises they don't mean nothing

But each of us is every bit

Measure the moments by the almost and the came close,
By the "what the fucks?" and the "I don't knows"
Because soon they're going to notice the space between us starting to show.
We played the songs with all the wrong notes,
Played 'em too slow to the empty rooms where your frien

I watched the fireworks explode,
and from your shoulders I could see a different world.
No lies, no hate, no fear, no pain,
just flashes of blue and yellow flame.

I smiled, you smiled, but smiles can fade.

How am I a product of this man?
I've watched the sunrise on hi

Tonight i set out
On a journey from behind your ears and your neck down
Along the sharp curves of your spine.
I hear you whispering
Like a seashell that is trying to keep the ocean in,
Tucked in the sand dunes of your skin.

No matter how hard that we beg, the miles take

I spent my night
Sweating through my clothes,
And screaming 'til my throat
Ached like burning coals.
Still it's not right
Now that everything i know
Gets caught between
The gnashing teeth of the hype machine.
And so it goes…

I've never felt more alone.

When they ask me whether you mean more to me
Than moving pictures on a T.V. Screen
Am I supposed to say
That I was young when you left and you don’t keep in touch these days,
Or that the bottle had its say and took you away?

I wonder if you know your family misses you so
