Through the Glass

Don't grow up too fast
these things tend to last
a day a week a moment seems to pass you by
a tired man with tired plans to change the tide
where it's only natural to find you in the blue
The neon lights that cast shadows on the backs
of all the souls against the walls to comfortable to clash
the callers call that fills the bar with one last laugh
where its only natural to find you through the glass

Without the Blue

When I get home again I sleep in my room
When I wake up again I still think of you
I've been dreaming of the past
I've been reaching for a path
When I'm out walking my head's in the clouds
When I'm out talking I'm thinking about
All the things that are never said
I'm still searching for the words
To tell you I love you and hope that it's true
To tell you I love you without the blue
Old dealings feel so new and true when you can't lose

Hangnail hangin in
Hangnail tearin skin
Hangnail gonna win
I'm no good without you near
Pay bills pay your rent
Work late go to bed
Set sail in your head
To a place far away where we have never been
To want more, to need less
To walk more, to talk less
Hangnail hangin in
Hangnail tearin skin
Hangnail gonna win
I'm no good
I'm no good without you near

To Be

Don't you want me to be happy, healthy and well?
You can't help me but you can save me a peace of mind
and I'm alright enough, I'm alright enough
and I'm alright enough, I'm alright to be x2
understanding, forever planning a way out a divide
and I can foresee that we'll be repaid in wooden nickels and dimes
and thats alright enough, thats alright enough for me

Moon

I've been sleeping under the stars looking at Mars
I've been sinking into the moon, letting it pull me closer too
I'm aligning with your atoms
I'm arriving at the problem
let it unlace and erase
it won't get closer if I stay away
one last notice to vacate
from all tomorrows mistakes
from all tomorrows mistakes
if only I could see them
I'm deciding on the colors
to paint this half-lit summer
settle in shades that erease
it won't get closer if I stay away
one last notice to vacate
from all tomorrows mistakes
from all tomorrows mistakes
if only I can see them

Hallowed Ground
02:51

opportunity sell me something that I want that I need
Somethings in between us something seething
it'll cost everything
come along with me
come along with me
come along with me
where the sun shines brighter
and the clouds are whiter
and stars hang higher on the wrong side of this town
on the wrong side of this town
where the drugs are harder
but the grounds much softer
so you'll sleep much better
underneath this hallowed ground
where the sounds grow louder
where I thought i loved her
but I grew much older than I ever wanted to

New Eyes

Wouldn't it be nice not to worry for a while
though I often try to take control of my life
I'm prepared for the bitter end
but I'm scared that we'll meet again
when I'm old and lonely
and you have a family
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older and blind to fright
then we wouldn't have to wait so long to try and make
our beds beneath the dirt
and this time I'm rather sure
this is the last song that I'll write
to tell you that I love you
and I've missed you
but I don't need you
because I've found
new eyes
