Around Everythingi need to take a look before you go away
before i spend my time with what i need to say
you're so free around everyone but me
it's the city lights
and it's a new york sky
you don't want to hear
and i'm not ever right
Breathe in This Lifei hear you calling me by name
you come around the corner smiling again
and i know
you're feeling better
and so the sun might turn to rain
the clouds will come together over us again
and they
BrokenYou hate what I said
You're scared that there
Might be some truth inside all of this
That makes your life look bad
There's still more to this
You said that you
Have to go make what you want of this
Daini look out my window, i'm catching the view
where queen street meets chestnut one block west of you
these strange conversations will set our hearts free
these strange conversations lift burdens from me
my friend, come back again
now we're back at my place with morrisey on play
and you missed your ritalin, you're truest this way
I Won't Leavei think it's fair
to say that i knew you best
way back when...
the place you live
the things you'll do
the choice you have that i could never understand
Life Before AestheticsI've got more important things
Than shiny diamond rings
And modern furniture
Life before aesthetics was
Los Angelesi remember thinking
that you'd never leave
praying in your bedroom
before i fell asleep
i still feel the moment
when you came alive
like a poem about springtime
nothing to hide
Made Out For ThisMade Out For This
You could be whatever you want
But I know that you’re feeling older
And I can do whatever I want
If you’re looking across my shoulders
What if I’m just not made out for this?
Mileswe'll get in my car around 10:30 that night
for the new york city skyline
destination of our sights
it's the biggest healing session that i've had for some years
the laughter and the driving and the letting go of..,
she seems to have a way of making me feel
you always have a way of keeping me real
Over My Headtaking myself back to the time
when we were in your room you looked straight through
the life that i've led, things that i've said
make you tired
but you could always find the best in me
you can always sense the times that i've been falling apart
the shape of my heart shows it's marks
Paper DollTonight I'm like a paper doll
Dress me in what you wish I had on
And I will not say a thing
I'll just keep smilin'
Here I am, wordless again
and you dress me up different ways
flat and thin, speechless within
Simple LifeI will live a simple life
in a place I understand,
you were always welcome here
With no favorites in my love,
never put myself above,
you were always welcome here
StationsI'll be waiting on your train
When you come back
Through the western state
Where I left you on the platform
Life gets so hard
But I know that you'll be fine
Stations make me think of my own travels
StevenThis was the first year of our years togather
your mother got sick
and your sister got married
and this was the first year of our songs togather
simple cords are lovely
simple words are heartfelt
its the best friends that need you
This and That all of the words keep coming
for me to settle down
but i think i heard us falling
before we hit the ground
so much for my dark takes
on how we got this far
funny that we can't make a thing
of what we really are
