Wing

Maybe I'll fly away to a better place
Or, maybe I'll just make my way back home
Just like her pillow, she's always in her case
Stuck in a place where I can't roam
Wings will carry me home when I'm gone
They will carry me home
Miss my family and friends when I'm gone
But they will carry me home

Like Tomorrow
04:40
|

|
Well, it's been a while since I moved forward
And if you can hear me just say the word
You somehow take your time when the world is moving too fast
Walking while the sun goes down in our past
You might as well take me away
Since I made a fool of myself today
You came in like a wind in the door
Driving a house through the highlands like we used to before
Six strings under the ground when I'm with you
I could never play it cool or see it through when my hearts as an all time low
There's no day like tomorrow
You might have to take me home tonight
Cause I feel so tired from trying to understand you right
You look just like the person I'd see in my dreams
And the things you say make the world better than it seems
Please don't take me away
I won't make a fool of myself today
You came in like a wind in the door
Driving a house through the highlands like we used to before
Six strings under the ground when I'm with you
I could never play it cool or see it through when my hearts as an all time low
There's no day like tomorrow

Glass Eyes
03:31
|

Another day of my jokes in conversation getting swept under the carpet
It's to the point where my mind needs a harness
Well, you know I'm barely keeping it together tried to focus on something dumber like the weather
The weather is bad so I can't even see her
They party with wine, I've got my untouched two-liter
Glass Eyes
I'm living behind glass eyes
What I'm looking through will break if you look inside
Recently, you've been locked in my head
I could've turned right on red but I stayed still instead
It's like some distractions are good for me
When you're here my mind moves faster than light
Keep your arms and legs inside at all times and
Hold on tight to looking through these
Glass eyes
My mirroring glass eyes
Seven years bad luck if you keep on using me like a drug
I've been here before, can't believe I forgot to close this door
What is in front of me is something I can't know fucking up everything as I go

Falling Down
04:53
|
|||
|
I think I've changed but, I've changed in a good way
I don't really get pushed around
Some things falling on me like the weight of a good day
I'm still trying to get off the ground
I hate loosing 'cause I always expect it it's like staring at the end of a knife
This is my opportunity and if I waste it then there's no bigger bummer than life
But stay 'cause you make me feel like I'm
Someone that matters
You could do anything
And I'd love you 'till my time expires
The clouds will fall
I've seen it all 'cause I just keep on falling down
And all (all) I (I) do is fall down for you
No ones got to be lonely but everyone has got to be
Alone sometimes
Feeling failure falling on me is just something a still can't fit
Inside the lines
Tell me you told me so 'cause it turns out, changing who I am is getting old
But at least I finally understand the title, Rubber Soul
Stay 'cause you know more than anyone
That love's what I require
You could say anything and I'd love you 'till my time expires
When I'm alone I think about it a lot, how I somehow managed to lose her
Always pushing myself, can't get over myself
The clouds will fall
I've seen it all 'cause I just keep on falling down
And all (all) I (I) do is fall down for you
The clouds will fall
I've seen it all 'cause I just keep on falling down (I just keep falling down)
And all I do is fall down for you

This Energy
03:46
|

|
I still have hope that we can find our way out
'Cause this energy we share makes us better off together
and this time tomorrow night, I'll still be running out to get her
Take my pride and my happiness too
The way things look, you might need them more than I do
And you know my bed makes it hard to rise
When the bullshit climbs to new heights (climbs to new heights)
Well, it's something I can't explain
In my head it's Sunday rain
And you can find, my heart is more in touch
When I run from my pain
I used to feel the need to get away
Next thing on the list is figuring out just how to stay
And I would meet you a thousand times
'Cause the feeling stays the same every sunrise
Life throws it's dirt on you
You know it's nothing new
We'll be alright because
I still have hope that we can find our way out
'Cause this energy we share makes us better off together
and this time tomorrow night, I'll still be running out to get her
Such a lovely home, such a lovely place for me
Such a good feeling when the world's not your enemy

Completely Complete Me
04:41
|
|||
|
Kick me sign in my mind isn't gone yet
And from what I can tell it's not going away
You know this style of life is a death threat
And I retreat like sea foam when I can't stay
Find the sun in a tunnel with walls of yourself
And I'll find the reason why I'm not me
You'll say it wasn't you
But, from the dirt under your nails, I'd say otherwise
If the things I've been told haven't been true
Then what's the point when I self-criticize
Find the sun in a tunnel with walls of yourself
And I'll find the reason why I'm not me
It's not anything that I can't see
Completely complete me, completely complete me
Mix up words from a fire while I walk the smallest wire
Completely complete me, completely complete me

City Slicker

Doin' everything you can to give the world a warning
When the walk from your bed to the door seems so long in the morning
Keep me in your head as long as you want
'Cause there's things in life that will take me away as soon as I'm not
As I drive I start to find, I get a weaker radio signal
Going off the gird, just like going off the edge
I've been stuck in the city
I'm going to the country
When I get there, watch the stars make a lap around the sky
Singing songs at the fire, the rhythm took me higher
Walkin' home with you just to escape the cold
Before I listened I was unaware, unseeing
But, my access to your thoughts is intrinsic to my well-being
I'm shaking off the loss you had that shook me
Because I don't want too contribute to anything you don't want to see
As I drive, my peace of mind gets even closer with my destination
I've been stuck in the city
I'm going to the country
Tunes out here are making their way back home (with me)
Jammin' out to Merle Haggard (oh, we're jammin' yeah)
Maybe some Patsy Cline
'Cause right now I'm just as much yours as you are mine
I've been stuck in the city
Got to get out of my box
Can you help me out?
Thanks for helping me out

Laundry

I guess the waves of conversation drown me out again
Wish I could say I thrive in silence
I've got so much to say bit the chance never comes around again
My lack of pride shifts around
Despite my many attempts to cover up the way I am
I keep, I just keep
Finding everything I put at the top at the bottom
Finding everything I put at the top at the bottom
Finding everything I put at the top at the bottom
Finding everything I put at the top at the bottom

Make It Yours
03:43

|
He walks in with a goal in mind
He finds everything he needs in a matter of time
Never revealing what's behind the doors
Keeping in time with is very own wars
The girl at his doorstep
Tried not to overstep because she didn't know what could occur
She said, "Baby you'll find yourself if you just make it yours"
Saturday's a good day it rolls into Sunday they're living together in this cold world
If they're lucky they might even be happy
They find themselves in each other so easily
When it's dark and it's quiet their hearts cause a riot when they listen to the sounds of the night
He said, "When I'm with you, everything just feels right"
Everything matters when you just make it yours
It's hard enough as it is
The noise of the world is so hard to miss
But you help me get through all of this
What's yours is mine so let's fall into our abyss
When it's yours it's mine (when it's yours it's mine)
When it's yours it's mine (when it's yours it's mine)
When it's yours it's mine (yours it's mine)

I think they caught me wishing for what I had
'Cause I only just discovered the habits were bad
I can't find a reason why I should change if being lonely isn't normal
Isn't that strange?
Don't lock me out, don't push me away
'Cause I can't seem to get enough of this place
Leave me on the shelf so I collect all the dust I can
Dreaming of now, dreaming of then
Locking it all in so I can help again
Don't lock me out, don't push me away
'Cause I can't seem to get enough of this place
Don't tell me what I can and cannot own
I can't find a home
No, I can't find a home
Its not easy to be in the zone
When I never want to be alone
Take me up (Chicago)
Can you please take me up (Chicago)

Rest Easy
04:58
|

|
You woke up in the morning
Just to hate the world you were born in
Don't think that you're all alone
Just cause there's a half of you that no one knows
Keep your hopes and your chin up
The whole worlds waiting for you to stand up
The work is done, the day is over now
You can lay down, you can relax and I can show you how
Rest easy
Rest easy
You've got your friends around you
You've still got your Mama's arms around you too
Wont you sing to me like its the first time?
I'd still reassure you
Your voice isn't a crime
I'd keep dancing to all those crazy songs
I'd still ignore the whispers of pain and rights from wrongs
Rest easy
Rest easy
You've got your friends around you
You've still got your Mama's arms around you too
(instrumental)
Rest Easy
Rest Easy
It takes a lot to get through
All the things I wish I said to you
'Cause I still am the way I am
Until I end up in her arms again

Don't be a stranger
You know you can't change her
And the light she makes
Has made me blind
I don't want to fall behind
Theres a fire that burns behind her eyes
I guess it has to be this way
I lost a friend today
I never thought I could be the bad guy
I never had a backbone
Don't say goodbye
I'm alone
I hope you're fine and doing well
If there's a god she'd kick my sorry ass down to hell
Life can be such a bore and I don't want to be here anymore
I'll take these wings and fly away
It can be such a nightmare everything changes when he's there
I guess I'll have to stick around another day
My heart is good like it's always been
I won't be gone again
This time I know how to take it slow when rationality is hard to come by
Get a load of me thinking I'm worthy of being something you can see
What will happen if I wait?
Time has passed me by and maybe you won't be with me
But in my head it's not too late
I missed my flight it's a cold night and the snow is coming down
There are puddles on the ground
And then she comes around
It takes guts but I finally realize she's helped me a lot
So I shot my shot
Maybe I'm not as alone as I thought

Better Man
01:24

I'm such a better man in my songs
And I'd love to think that I could be wrong
It's okay to kill the things you feel like the fear of loosing someone real
Or feeling like you've been strong along
You see I would see you in a heartbeat if I could only keep up with me
It's alright when I turn out the lights and hear voices in my head at night
The things. they say I know myst be wrong
'Cause I'm such a better man in my songs
