Some Far Off Place
03:10
|
|
||
Some far off place away from here
Where I could be alone
And stay up late and lie around
Do everything on my own terms
But I would become bored of this
I would be complacent
Such a life might not exist
As everything contains some
Useful, sentimental mystery
Useful or existential mystery
To speak the name
To say it loud
To bring it to the light
And understand that nothing can
Be without its strife

Once Good Friends
04:19

Ride right through
It's alright, sometimes
It's all on you
And you feel it weighing down
Don't lose your head
It will commence
As sure as it seems longs
It is so short-lived now
I waited but like a dove you flew from me
Away, so far away from me
My baby has never learned the right things
And now it's surreal, unreal
Everything I say sounds wrong
It's on again
And then a night spent licking our wounds
I don't understand
And then I do, I do, and it makes me want to
Change things
To see it all in a different way
It pains me
To finally see what its done to us
We were once good friends
And then we were strangers
I don't understand
And then I do, I do, I can see

Pride

Pride, my daughter
Will not bring you smiles
Time spent freely
For a short while
Keep your feelings in
Don't let 'em inside
Pride, my daughter
Is something to hide
If you stay with me
I will not retreat
We can restart everything
If nothing's meant to be
Healthy body
Will bring me good times
Long nights sleeping
And days spent outside
But something's missing
I'm not satisfied
Lonesome feeling
Taking all my time
If you stay with me
We will be our own
A person incomplete
Together we're whole

Nothing Doing
02:36
|
|

Inside there's nothing doing
I swear the wind blows through it
But you still doubt it, babe
As if you can really say
To see how it fits together
Wouldn't make it fit any better
Just let it all play out
Get lost in the winning crowd
They're silent now
I can't control it:
Try not to try
If you forget you will recall
Don't feel sad about it
You know I don't really mind it
It's something I can't explain
It doesn't mean anything
It's everything
It could mean everything

Tender dreams
I wish you sleep
Apart from me, peacefully
As though it seems
You are with me
Exchanging heat
I can't help the way things are
And I don't mean to try
Even when it feels so blue
It will be different soon
What do you want I know
There are things I have done wrong
And times I have been cold to you
Though it hurts to say
Our best days are far behind us now
I'm afraid it could be true
But I don't like it how 'bout you?
Don't remark without listening
Forget the love with a passion darling
Never could I do it even if I wanted to
I told you how I felt
What it would do I could not tell
And now it's only brought me down
You're the one I want
Confused by feelings that I though
Had gone away but only grew for you
I only grew for you
Don't treat me any different
You have always been perfect darling
Never could I be as happy as when I'm with you
Your bed is right for me
My bed is right for you
Our bed for us sleeping
Together all night long

You Just Slept
02:21
|
|

See the swimmers in the stream
It's too cold to dip my feet
I see them all breathe deeply
Held tight in anxious grief
Late night in the city
All the lights make it hard to see
The dawn breaks so quickly now
It's not quick enough for me
You slept through the morning birth
I saw the sun come into the world
It's beautiful but so alone
I know what loves means now, ow
I see the children walk to school
Holding hands across the street
How I long to be there again
How I'd like some strict routine
I know what loves means now
And it will last forever

Busy, Busy, Busy
03:56
|
|

All I ever see
Is busy, busy people humming
Crossing every street
Stretching their necks to see what's coming
Going all the time
Somewhere different, always moving
Never felt quite right
Always becoming, never being
Wait for me, oh wait for me
So far ahead of everything
Wait and see, Oh wait for me
So far ahead of me
Aching body wakes
In the morning to start working
Making small mistakes
Compensation for my hurting
Even when it's said
I don't listen and fill my position
Keep it in my head
Worthy something replaced by nothing
It's not for, this part of me
To give myself to everything
Wait and see, I'll wait and see
What becomes of me

Uneasy
04:44
|
|

When you were my love
We both chose to grow up
And it made us a great deal colder
It made strange the others' shoulder
I see things since then
And I reassess what its always meant
It's so uneasy now
I hope it will settle down
Why bother with anything
When nothing is permanent
When we were at my home
We quickly became the others own
Even still I feel
Some part about me that you own
I see things since then
And I recall what its always meant
It's so uneasy now
I see things much different now
Wy bother with loving
When it only leads to this
Oh, goodness come to me
So long its been

Without Pain
03:58
|
|
||
Helpless to your own desires
Satisfied all the time
Never one to compromise
You get along with everyone
You would not be where you are without pain
It would never feel as good without pain
Hard-earned sunlight
After a long nights wait
It would never feel so good
Nothing would be as it should
I would not be who I am
Without pain
Feel out the deep
Feel the way it moves
Being will cease
Becoming will overtake
