Stay the Same
04:25
|
|||
|
I'm not your John Hughes Wet Dream
No I'll never be the one
But I could make a list
Of all the things I've given
Just to have our bodies
Too young to be this lived in
No, I will never, never be,
the way I used to be
Oh, isn't it strange
How we stay
We stay the same
Just to burn out
With an old flame

Backsliding
03:46
|
|||
|
Seeing me struggle here
Bringing back all your fear
Is this the circle that we’ll run
Round again and never done
Promises I wanna make
Get stuck, and then they fade away
But baby grab a hold and stay
Until you believe I’m ok
I know you’re scared all the time
You're looking for some kind of sign
To tell you everything’s gonna work out now
But my backsliding
Is wearing you down
Oh, promises I wanna make
Get stuck and then
They fade away
But baby grab a hold and stay
Until you believe I’m ok

Common Trouble
03:39
|
|||
|
This common trouble
Always leaves, always leaves me doubled
Each pulse a sting stronger
First it lingers, and then it wanders
I think I'm ready
To give it up
This holding on
This noble cup
Man, who can
Stand against
With no reserves
And a soft defense
I'll make a place just for my trouble
A hole for it to stumble
And with a neck too broke to bend
I'll leave it behind
This trouble without an end

Ántonia
08:14
|

Lyrics inspired by Willa Cather’s novel
Going down a country road
Where I first saw her face
A thousand years ago
If it's been one day
Oh the memories
Of walking with her
Through fields of burned-out grass
They seem to whis…
To whisper
To prairie gods
Sun, Earth and Seed
They worship her shoeless feet
And all the bohem girls
Who washed our clothes
And pushed the plows
Spinning in their linen gowns
They danced around her
And I was so proud
That she (that she)
Was my Ántonia
And no (and no)
No one was worthy
Not even me
She was my Ántonia
And no (and no)
No one was worthy
Not even me
She was my Ántonia
She was my Ántonia
Leave me alone by
The riverside
So I can be whole
Before I die
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

He Runs
05:51
|
|||
|
He ran across the field to be the fastest one
His splintered laces flew
No care to be undone
He Runs
If there exists a gauge
To measure what we lost
We'd find a tender age
When Sleep is all we fought
He runs
The marrow gaps have closed
No ignorance to claim
A new and desperate fear
That he can't give a name
He runs

Explorers
03:19
|
|||
|
We search each other like explorers
But we’ve lost our native tongue
We’ve lost our way,
Follow the road home
Oh, I see the door
It’s our own
To step through
We search each other like explorers
|

In Our Blood
04:53
|
|||
|
Swing wide the gates
Follow the worn earth
Spring is so late
We still crave a warm...a warm hearth
I hear you calling
Slurring your lover's name
Running with broken feet
And a spirit that's grown so lame
We hold the fear in our blood
Seeking a solace that never will come
We carry escape in our blood
Seeking a solace never come
But we got just a taste enough
To want to carry the want on our tongues
For a solace that never will come

They Fade
02:58
|
|||
|
When you’re sweet to me
Oh the harms, oh they fade
As I walk away
I see trees, so green
All the colors
They’re different to me
They, oh they
Have changed
Oh, soon they go
Follow
And soon, I know
I know I'm gone
As boundaries between beauty and alarm
Oh, they fade
They fade, oh they fade
Away
And soon, I know
I know I'm gone
As boundaries between beauty and alarm
Oh, they fade
They fade, oh they fade
Away

Final Farewell
03:09
|
|||
|
We’re all just gripping in this dark
And must have allowances made
For whatever reaches back
And we’re just starting to believe
With our able bodies blinded
By where I’ve followed you so far
With this untamed voice
And your beat up car
That would cast me forth
And cut me open
This much is true
This is my final farewell
My final song for you

Moonsong
05:29
|
|||
|
We lay in the grass
And I held your hand
We looked up at the sky
You pointed at the planes flying by
And I said baby
Look at the moon
Shines in the daylight too
And I tell her thank you
Every night
For showing me
Your light
Thought an old
Friend had died
So we went to say goodbye
You looked me in the eye
And you saw that I was crying
And you said mama
Look, your face
Mama, you ok?
You put your head
On my shoulder
And I never felt
Any love stronger
Baby...look at the moon
It shines
In the daylight too
Baby, look at the moon
