Ima dive in a lake at three in the morning tell me you don't see the glory in acting young and foolish
Ima dive in a lake at three in the morning staying dry is far too boring i'm alive and now I know it I'm alive and now I know it
Ima climb to the top of the real tall building so I can feel the wind a blowing so I can feel the wind a blowing
Ima climb to the top of a real tall building so I can feel the wind a blowing feels a lot like I've been knowing i'm alive and I'm still going
Ima spread my wings and fly to the heavens where all the angels think I'm clever where all the more is for the better where all the more is for the better

In the Garden

There’s goes another year
They go as quick as eggs are eaten from the carton
There goes your last chance
Good thing you hid some in the tree behind the garden
Such bitter blood
Who knew you were so delicate
In rained so much
Uncovered filthy little details in the mud
Beneath the sea
You’ll find me swimmin through the sunken memories
A siren’s plea
To kill a man before he has the chance to kill me

When I see you standing so tall
Something tells me you’ll be there when I call
The summer’s almost over. Cold winds from the north.
The season took my lover. Love has run its course.
I’ll leave the light on for you. So you can find me in the dark.
I’ll leave the door wide open. So you can find me in the dark.
Green leaves slowly turn red. So do my cheeks,
When I’m around you, stubborn turns to meek.
I’ll leave the light on for you. So you can find me in the dark.
I’ll leave the door wide open. So you can find me in the dark.
The dark.
Let the moonlight guide you to me.
Until I see your silhouette waiting patiently.
I’ll leave the light on for you. So you can find me in the dark.
I’ll leave the door wide open. So you can find me in the dark.
The dark.

Night

I hold on until another night
But the moon always comes calling for its bit of sky
The autumn light ain't got no fight
It's the way these days each day says goodbye
Common winds and coming wars
Holding the sand cold against the shore
I see her pass, I know that road
It's the way she tries to hide from where it goes
L'avventura
Lei ha contato nella venuta
Anche se l'ha fatto apposta una puntura

Easier, Better

Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord,
Come walk me down the mountainside
I tried, I tried to go alone
But you see the road, the road, the road
It begs for company
Another you or two for three to keep me walking on
And I've been going a little too far on my own
And I've been trying to set my steps towards home
But without you by my side, I'm another lonesome load
The old ways aren't bad ways, still I think it's time to let them go
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
I'm laying on this pitch of floor
Hiding out from the outside war
Trying hard to find out what I am useful for
But we've been living inside of a terrarium jar
It's not what you were meaning when you set me alone in the dark
Now I see you were scheming for me to muscle my way into your arms
Not to run disbelieving calamity's chores and her charms
These days I've been thinking the old ways weren't always what
I was waiting on
Oh love, oh love, oh love
I'll walk this way with you
Your eyes will see me through
Your ears hear nothing new
The earth only produces another up and down
And I've been down
A little too long on my own
I've been down
Sorrow stealing the show
I've been down and done
Time to try the other one
Low waters come round our feet again, our knees, our necks again
We're gladly wet again
The pain we met back then pushing towards the road again
But this time we walk together

Milwaukee

I left you to see what I'd miss.
Two months gone, I wanna see you again.
Even though the days are cold,
I wanna feel the snow, I wanna feel the cold.
Do you miss me at all? Do you think I'm having a ball without you?
I dream of you every night.
I just want your familiarity to hold me tight.
When will I go home? I wanna go.
When will I go home? 'Cause I wanna go now to sweet Milwaukee.
I wanna feel the snow. I wanna feel the cold.
'Cause you're all I know. You're all I know.
Even though the weather's nicer out here,
I'd rather be cold with you. And be with something I know.
I wanna feel the snow. I wanna feel the cold.
I took you for granted and it’s all I can take.
I wanted to see an ocean instead of a lake.
The laughs I remember, the promises made.
The people I love most, my heart that will break if I don't come home.

Old Oak Tree
05:10
|
|

I can't begin to count the ways that you've been counting down
I can't begin to spin a story from the suffering
I trim the taper of another day
I bend the time that's in my way
To the leash I bind the beast
Still I'm running for his teeth
The eagle in the old oak tree hasn't ever had any song for me
The memory of melody is scarce
The riverbend's been promising again what it never will be nor has been
The moonlight's only daylight in pretend
This time I'm calling off the clock
Is maybe now or maybe not
It's may we catch a shred of sin
An open gate we'll hunger in
Beholden tropes keep traipsing through
But what else do you want to do?
The eagle in the old oak tree hasn't ever shared her song with me
The memory of melody is scarce
Cut it down, we'll burn it up
It's not enough but it's enough for us
To disinherit any from its where
You look at her, I eye your friend
So the old book wrote, it's continuing
The trouble comes when sultry slips
Beyond the realm of fingertips
But who's to blame a moral breach
If you confess you may well preach
The tempest in that old oak tree has been calling my name deliberately
The memory of melody is scarce
Birds that wing have flown from here
The sky's the same it's only us they fear
It's every each and only disappeared

Terms of Collapse
03:07
|
|
||
It's very old water, it's an even older bridge
It wasn't ever mine and it surely wasn't his
Construction has been stalling, they might just tear it down
By this point we see it clear, it's either sink or drown
Let's go drowning, tonight we're crawling
Let's go crawling, tonight we're sinking
We are wounded, bruised, sore and confused
Forgotten, rotten, all but caught in
The terms of the collapse
Happenstance happened fast
Your last chance
Just a fumbled pass
The flood, over capacity
The rush of boltbreaking enmity
Culmination of suspension in a heap
The cord of distance too heavy to upkeep
The gates break fast
The chase across the water was a heavy sinking line
The way that I outran you clearly swallowed up the prize
One thing that I oft forget is angels ain't so kind
As starving people think, it's when you try to drown you never sink
I'm drowning, tonight I'm crawling
I'm sinking, tonight I'm falling
I am wounded, bruised, sore and confused
Forgotten, rotten, all but caught in
The terms of the collapse
Design flaws, 9 percent a cause
Floods and mud 53 above
Collision, overload,
Picking up on the rest of the untold
Deterioration, cracks in the foundation
The gates break fast
It's very old water, it's an even older bridge
It wasn't ever mine and it surely wasn't his
Construction has been stalling, they might just tear it down
By this point we see it clear, it's either sink or drown
Let's go drowning, tonight we're drowning
Let's go drowning, tonight we're sinking

Woo Hoo
02:52

I'm unknown to what shall come next.
A house of 6 and one more to expect.
A traveling hermit, I feel at home in my shell.
In moves with me, a wondering vagrant as well.
Woohoo
Singing along to the song I know best.
Forgetting the words, I make up the rest.
Confident that it will turn out all right.
Or I'll just pack up my things and drive
Into the night
Wanderer wandering aimless and free.
Wonderer wondering what the next verse will be.
I suppose we'll see.
I'm at home in the sun. I'm at home in the sea.
I'm at home in my car and with my family.
I'm at home in the places that I've never been.
I'm at home going back to my first home again.
Home again.
Wander wandering aimless and free.
Wonder wondering what the next verse will be.
I suppose we'll see, Woo hoo
