Hold Me Here
03:29
|

Darling I need you right now, more than I ever have
Bottle of gin and the ground are making it hard to stand
You gave me a kiss and you helped me undress
I fell asleep ‘neath your touch and the warm of your breath
Feel your weight upon my chest
Beating slow, beating fine
Could you help get some rest
And hold me here tonight
Darling I need you right now, more than I ever have
It’s not that I’m losing my way, but frozen here in my tracks
Teach me to move and be bold in the night,
To dance with the ghosts of the fog in the street lamp light
Feel your weight upon my chest
Beating slow, beating fine
Could you help get some rest
And hold me here tonight

If I Find It
03:39
|

There’s a devil I know
Comes speeding into focus
Then away she’ll go
Cutting through the forest like a lightning bolt
I keep up the best I can
Climbing up the walls
Can’t you see that I’m in love?
But now aint we all
I want something that I’ve never felt before
‘til then it’s hard to give a damn
If I find it, I’ll let you know
And be sure to bring it back to you
Light of the morning’s
Ahead of the storm
Wherever I go
Grasping at straws
A desperate man following a siren’s call
Sound advice never really helped at all
Just made me a bitter man
I made no sound
Never started fighting ‘til they put me down
Then I got to thinking that the long way ‘round
Was the way to go
If I find it, I’ll let you know
And be sure to bring it back to you
Light of the morning’s
Ahead of the storm
Wherever I go

Firestarter
03:07
|

How many times do you expect me to fall in love?
How many stories can I have, how many feelings can I hold before I let it all out?
And how many people can know me real?
How can I open up my chest, let all the right words rest on the tip of my toungue?
But baby if it’s good for you,
then it’s good for me,
I’ll be a better man, when the questions get a little bit harder,
But I won’t be your firestarter
How many words, can I tell you, that I didn’t say to her?
I can fill my mouth with honey hun, but the sentiment is gonna come,
from a little bit deeper,
and you’re not gonna like it, you’re not gonna like it,
But baby if it’s good for you,
then it’s good for me,
I’ll be a better man, when the questions get a little bit harder,
But I won’t be your firestarter
I believe love, can be something real,
but it’s something you earn, not just feel,
How many times do you expect me to fall in love?
But baby if it’s good for you,
then it’s good for me,
yeah I’ll be a better man, when the questions get a little bit harder,
oohhhh I’ll be a better man, but I won’t be your firestarter,
I won’t be your firestarter

Restless
03:22
|
|||
I know this is hard for you, it’s hard for me
But I can’t pretend I can be content to leave things be
I am restless, now, can’t you see
And there’s things I wanna be
Everywhere I go, the air that I breathe there tastes like home
Everywhere I turn, you are in my questions as they beg to burn
So I let ‘em burn
I’ll be this pot of water boiling on the stove
You can sit there and stare, count the minutes down before I explode
Lord I feel like I’m ‘bout to blow
But there’s things you need to know
Everywhere I go, the air that I breathe there tastes like home
Everywhere I turn, you are in my questions as they beg to burn
So I let ‘em burn
Everywhere I go, the air that I breathe there tastes like home
Everywhere I go the air that I breathe there tastes like home
Everyone I’ll be, floating on the breeze in front of me
I am restless, now, can’t you see

Novelty
04:30

Just assumed we’d be here forever
We’d drink, we’d bitch and we’d moan
But leaving was quitting, that’s something we’ve never done
So clumsy and foolish and proud
Tired of being let down
It took me a while but I think I understand now
Break in the dam with the words spilling out
Blood on the sand from a punch in the mouth
Made it easier now to see me the way that you do
Heard there’s a girl there, maybe you knew
Her scenery keeps changing, so she does too
That’s the way of the world, the way of the land
Climb up in your saddle, ride as fast as you can
It’s your last chance to see how she was meant to be seen
Before we come along and ruin the novelty
There’s loneliness hanging around here
There’s anger set into these stones
Don’t want this place to confine you if it ain’t your home
Break in the dam with the words spilling out
Blood on the sand from a punch in the mouth
Made it easier now to see me the way that you do
Heard there’s a girl there, maybe you knew
Her scenery keeps changing, so she does too
It’s the way of the world, the way of the land
Climb up in your saddle, ride as fast as you can
It’s your last chance to see how she was meant to be seen
Before we come along and ruin the novelty
Take you back, bring you back home
I can’t take you back or bring you back home

Cream and Crimson
02:44
|

She was fading like the autumn, she was blooming like the spring
Wrapped in folds of cream & crimson, the bride that she was meant to be
They say her papa was a fine man, they say that he loved her the most
But you can give your love in excess sure as all men give up the ghost
You can’t build castles out of water, you can’t forget you can’t forgive
Hear me all you fathers’ daughters for the lives you’ve yet to live
Found him dressed in Sunday’s finest, found his heart all on his sleeve
Found her in her mama’s white dress, the bride that she would never be
I would like to end a good man, I would like to be at home
I know we, none of us, die happy, but must we always die alone?

All It Takes
04:09

I could be your home,
I could be the walls,
I could keep you warm inside in wintertime, hold you close,
I could be your shade, when summer comes,
The sunlight dances, shimmers on the lake,
Be your light, I could help you see
The boy in front of you, girl in front of me,
Be your friend, when darkness comes,
And wraps you up and then you’re all alone,
And it tells you that’s what you’ve become,
Oooooooooh, oooooooh, ooooooooh
You could live your life,
I’m not here to chaaaaaaaange you,
No I’m not a stake, fixed in the clay,
I could cut the rope
I want to float around this wooorld with you,
Let the world surround us,
I could be your home,
If you let me in,
That’s all it takes,
That’s all it takes
That’s all it takes,
That’s all it takes,
That’s all it takes,
Oooooooh, oooooooh

Hours and Days

Hours and days
Spent taking my time
As she walked through the room
She was crossing my mind
Oh desire,
How I wanted to know her
Books and their bindings
Scattered around
hungry eyes searching for lines to jot down
to describe her,
No, I never did find her
Rushing down hallways
Smell of perfume
Drawn by the notion
Exciting and new
She flashed me a smile
Then I lost track for a while
When I fell, She knew
The last thing she wanted
I’d stumbled in to
When I fell, She grew
A little bit cold
There was nothing left I could do
Don’t say you love me
Not if you mean it,
Our hearts will continue separately beating
Our dreams will unfurl,
To sail ‘round this beautiful world
So she set her sights, Fired away
Flew out of my window
Down the fire escape
And the streets of the city
Swallowed her whole
Where she is now
Only god really knows

Bone and Blood
03:47
|
|||
When you fear the monsters in the dark
And when first you fall and break your heart
I will be your blanket, I will be your anchor, from the very start
When you learn the pains of growing up
When they splash vinegar into your cuts
I will be your healer, be your anesthesia, I will stitch you up
My bone and blood, my only love, won’t you stay with me?
It won’t be long, you’ll travel on,
But I will stay with you even when you’re gone
When you no longer hear me when I speak
When I get banished to the way back seat
I will still be patient, I can sit in silence until your time of need
My bone and blood, my only love, won’t you stay with me?
It won’t be long, you’ll travel on, but I will stay with you
My bone and blood, my only love, won’t you stay with me?
Life goes on, you’ll move along,
But I will stay with you even when I’m gone
When I shuffle off this weary life
When you miss me on a rainy night
I will be your dream, waiting in the wings, with the arms that held you tight
I will be your blanket, I will be your anchor, till the day you die

Do It Again
03:27
|
|||
Suck it up and steel yourself,
Life is hard but I know I’m gonna kiss you on the mouth,
one of these days,
I’ll breath you in and close my eyes,
project you on my lids each night,
oh darling would that be ok?
well I’m gonna do it anyway,
And I, will not let a few miles affect me,
I’ve been on boats, cars, trains, planes, and ferrys,
And I would do it again, I’d do it again,
It’s a great big world, lets cover some ground,
report back in June, make sure our hearts have stayed in tune,
And I would do it again, I’d do it again,
it’s not releasing our love like a wayward balloon,
it’s striking out on our own, we’ll be flying together soon,
we’ll be flying,
Wake up, smile, perform your tasks,
you feel it too, so you don’t gotta ask,
I’m gonna love you wherever you go,
so keep that place in new york city,
I’ll call you up when I get shitty,
we’ll make plans to take over the world,
And I, will not let a few miles affect me,
I’ve been on boats, cars, trains, planes, and ferrys,
And I would do it again, I’d do it again,
It’s a great big world, lets cover some ground,
report back in June, make sure our hearts have stayed in tune,
And I would do it again, I’d do it again,
it’s not releasing our love like a wayward balloon,
it’s striking out on our own, we’ll be flying together soon,
we’ll be flying together soon

West Of Here
01:45
|

She skipped town on the night train
Cash from her little sister’s piggy bank
Tucked in the pocket of her rain jacket
Left a note for ma and pa
Saying, “I’ll be back again tomorrow”
But tomorrow, it just hasn’t come yet
She is feeling
For the moment
Better
So Much better than before
The only thing she knew
Her rock to cling on to
The Sky, it must be blue,
West of here
She could be an actress
Or a model, and with some practice
She could be singer on a big stage
She don’t hate what she left behind
But home it never satisfied
So now she is on her way
She is feeling
For the moment
Better
So Much better than before
The only thing she knew
Her rock to cling on to
The Sky, it must be blue,
West of here

Tastee-Freez

Johnny took the camper down to New Orleans
Bumped into Molly at the Tastee-Freeze
“Girl, you wanna burn this city to the ground
‘Til the husbands and the whores come screaming out?”
Georgia fell in love, she was seventeen
Had the bright blue eyes of a beauty queen
Met him at the party, when the lights went out
“Georgia, would you like to take a drive around?”
Oh little mama won’t you go,
No one needs to know
No one needs to know
Hey little baby we could stay
Pass the night away
Pass the night away
Heard you were born with a heart of gold
Boy came along and stole it years ago
He dropped it in a puddle, tried to dull its shine
Let me help you bring it back to life
Oh little mama won’t you go
No one needs to know
No one needs to know
Hey little baby we could stay
Pass the night away
Pass the night away
They’ve killed the lights on the inside
Maybe we’ll find a place of our own
And if you think the time is just right
I don’t know where, baby, we will go
But we will go

May the Road Get Wider
03:17
|

You will never have to go, down this road alone, we’ll keep on walking Side by side,
And when the fence is pushing in, and space is getting tighter,
May the road get wider,
To my friends right beside me, with the magic in their voices,
Helping me make all my choices, fitting all my pieces, well y’know,
Those are your legs, hitched to your bod, hitched to your brain, with all Those flaws but
They’re yours man, and I can’t tell you what to do,
But as long as you do do,
You will never have to go, down this road alone, we’ll keep on walking Side by side,
And when the fence is pushing in, and space is getting tighter,
May the road get wider,
Let a little confusion in your house,
Don’t drive mr. chaos away,
He’s gonna be showing up here anyway,
He’s gonna show up,
To all the folks who taught me, love is, a gigantic kaleidescope,
Always different, but always beautiful,
Well those are your legs, hitched to your bod, hitched to your brain, With all those flaws
But they’re yours babe, and I can’t tell you where to go,
But I can tell you one thing,
You will never have to go, down this road alone, we’ll keep on walking Side by side,
And when the fence is pushing in, and space is getting tighter,
May the road get wider,
