Good Notion 02:22
Its always a good notion when you are thinking you got all that you need and the past isn't worth you time Well its 8 o'clock and over tea I'm thinking if you just let it be we would know if its worth our time Before we fall into that line, and we should take our time A lover who's backs against the wall there's three feet of snow he's two feet tall you could say the he's in a bind And a party of sweet saints round your heart, they met me one night when it was dark and they said "its not a good time" still we fall into the line, and we should take our time Its always a good notion when you are thinking you got all that you need and the past isn't worth your time

Fall wind blows, but not for me, not for me the night is warm, its pushing me, its pushing me and I see nine stories in a row, so can we put on a show and I'm riding through the rain, pushing through one more day. So for three days, I'm far away, Im far away with our skin on skin and our eyes towards the sky and then, we're on the road again with dusty shoes and songs for them and my hearts engines pumping on, hoping for one more song, one more song and I lay my head down to sleep, to try and the drone of city chimes just passes through my mind so many hours roll on by but I still need time so I lay my head down to sleep, to try Will you say that we should go another way? or will you stay and pull the lights from the sky? and if one more day goes on, then one more, would it be wrong to call you up and break it down so that I could know. And I lay my head down to sleep, to try and the drone of city chimes just passes thru my mind So many hours roll on by but I still need time So I lay my head down to sleep, to try

It Shows 03:04
As lovers in the backyard We beam and boast When all the sounds lay dead you played for me instead We came upon the day when you had to go each day I bled and wept for shame, for I was dead It shows I stand upon that stage now with holes, they show and every word I say is fake, and out of place It shows Oh no, there goes my love I can barely catch my breath So low, I go my love you're bringing me down and I'm on a flight thru foul-weathered friends and I wanna land safely and stand Oh no, there goes my love Go ahead decide then you can't, I know Thats why I gotta go and leave this one alone It Shows

Oh My Stars 02:12
The Laws that govern chess and nature also govern lands so grey outside, and I've misplaced another day Never cared much for the stories you pass on, I know quite well your fairy tales have raised hell before But oh my stars in the sky collide sometimes Many cars and people make me want to skip town and so many blues you'll sing that faithful day that you come down In a day or two, a couple notches down and even at my best there's a pull of tide and a strain in pride But oh my stars, in the sky collide sometimes

Clear Day 03:06
Diving in those shallow waters to see if they'd reflect me or just reject me now its been three weeks since I have seen you last you don't even know me so stay below me Now I know what's really true My city's always always fog the view its getting hard to see what I did before The devils working hard on me these days what'll I do now? I feel like a fool now so I open up my box of chocolates to see which ones you left me and If you get me All your sorry words have crowed the sky we're all past it now and I'm making some time for a clear day today, hoping for a clear day today Yea my little soul has been hiding for weeks and I've missed it so, thru the rain and the sleet I want a clear day today, hoping for a clear day today. Are you gonna come back and take the fall? Is there anything left at all? or just a sad empty phone call I'm thinking back to a time when the sun did beam years ago it seems, its only sunny in my dreams and its getting hard to see what I did before And all your sorry words have clouded the sky we're all past it now and I'm making some time for a clear day today, hoping for a clear day today. Yea, my little soul has been hiding for weeks and I've missed her so through the rain and the sleet I wanna clear day today hoping for a clear day today

In train rides to and from the shore In hopes that I will see you more I drew a line wen I called you on the phone, when I called you the phone I walked a bridge so long it stretched over a river full of lives With the brightest of minds and the murkiest hearts where love is years away And people we all have a place but you're just may need more space I miss you so, but you're where you wanna be, where ever that may be Will my fear give in this time again and when can I be alone with my brightest mind and my murkiest heart my love is years away I miss you so, but you're where you wanna be, wherever that may be

Cherubim 02:50
An angel came to me one day i was the only one who could mourn on a beautiful day a beautiful day she took my chin and said "thats why we don't stay" But its what we do to make it through and its only dirt, its not so bad and we'll find our way out there we'll find our way out there and with peace we find our sleep so thats why we will stay

The white paint peels and the knee high grassy fields when my mother called, she knew it was time for me to go home where a tree and some birds hop away My heart is not my friend breaking bones when it sinks to the ground then abandons me when its feeling just a little joy as a tree and some birds stand and stare I see the best in you and when I'm strong I see the best in me too we're knocking cities down, one by one with you're broad shoulders and icicle crown as a tree and some birds laugh and play Oh these birds they say to you and me and oh, a tree, it waits and it says Focus on anything but that which makes you sad cleanse the thought of your heart so that you can be glad so glad The white paint peels, and the knee high grassy fields when my mother called she knew it was time for me to go home where a tree and some birds wait for me, for me Oh these birds they say to you and me and oh, a tree, it waits
