In Retrospect
04:55
|

|
Words lost and meaning tossed over head
And feelings crossed, moments lost in retrospect
We watch us fall apart, restless from the start
Start's my favorite part, on our mark
Cross my heart, hope to die
If we aren't lost, I'll grow wings and fly
On our mark, running blind
Close these eyes, think we're fine
Words lost and meanings tossed over head

Orange Soda
05:21
|

|
One hundred tracks of psychedelic simplicity
Reveal my mind's most contradicting hypocrisies
I wish I could feel the shower when I was dry
I wish I could feel the heat off a microwave from outside
Oh yeah
Don't write on my skin
When I die I want to be buried with my guitar
Maybe when you visit my grave
You'll hear me strumming hard
I want my funeral to be held in a coffee shop
Bury me in orange soda, in case I'm thirsty when I wake up
Oh yeah
I wish every month of the year was February
I wish I would never get tired of the taste of strawberries
I wish I could see the future every Tuesday
So I could have the best day every Wednesday
Oh yeah
Don't write on my skin
Oh yeah

Well I find it hard, harder every time
To say it's alright, when I can't get you out of my mind
And your colors spin, spin in my eyes
And all of the sudden, you're out of time
Your in my dreams
Lime green
You're a mystery
Lime green
You make it seem so easy, easier all the time
You tear me apart, why should I apologize?
It's just another one of your tricks, another subtle lie
And all of the sudden, yeah we're out of time
Lime green is to you
As dark blue is to me
Lime green is to you
As far as I can see

Looking
04:17
|

I stepped out and looked about
But all around, nothing found
But what I heard struck me there
Unaware of your breath in the air
I can't see
But I can feel you, I can hear you
The melodies you speak reaching out for me
Hold you, if I could touch you
I would never sleep, never need to see
Again
Where and when had I been
When I said those words
Spoken loud, above sound
Out of my head when I said
I don't need
But I can feel you, I can hear you
The melodies you speak reaching out for me
Hold you, if I could touch you
I would never sleep, never need to see
Can you feel me?
Hear me?

Well I did it and I never felt so good
I know I shouldn't but it just feels too good
Do you like it? If you tried it you would
If I can then I should, if I could then I would
Are you still the same as you were?
Hello out there is there anyone listening?
Or am I by myself in this lonely dream?
I've done my best running in place on broken glass
But some things just aren't meant to change
C'mon and try me on, give me a shot at your heart
Or are you to good for me and my old guitar?
I've seen you look at me, baby what are you waiting for?
You say you're not ready, but you're worth waiting for
Hello out there is there anyone listening?
Or am I by myself in this lonely dream?
I've done my best running in place on broken glass
But some things just aren't meant to change
Hey, hey, love me
Hey, hey, break me
Hey, hey, mourn me
Forget me

Let Go
05:49
|

|
Lost track of time, then I started to see the signs
And I knew from the start that this was goodbye
You were everything in my heart
Until you tore it all apart
Having known all along
That this was hard enough on its own
It's time to let you know
Let go, let go of everyone that needs you
Let go, let go and see that this is all true
The worst is to come and it's not over
My heart screams and shouts for you
Images in my head start to rumble when I hit my bed
Only you can make my stomach feel like lead

Lions
05:02
|

|
I dance with you through the night
You and me feeling so fine
Conquer this night by surprise
You like a lion in disguise
Take off your heels and shine
Move like you've got nothing to hide
In the dead of the night, you and I could come alive
Under the dark sky, influence of our times
Make our own rules and dance around like fools
And out come the lions in the night
We roam through the dark trees
Your try to keep your hands off me
Yeah we make a pretty good team
Free to whisper and to scream
Free to do as we please
Your the music, I'll bring the beat

In My Box
06:15
|

How'd things come to be so simple?
The good and the bad have come and this is the result
No problems, no solutions
In my box of a world
And routine is just alright with me
I could sleep all day without a care in the world
Could you be as lazy?
Because outside my box it's cold
And routine is just alright with me
It's alright with me
Have you ever felt so fine than when I'm right here by your side?
And I know for sure that you and I can afford
To waste just a little more time
In my box things are easy
Not trapped, but hiding away
There's you and there's me,
Dark blue and lime green
Outside it's an ugly day
And routine is just alright with me
It's alright with me
I captured the light off the summer moon
And all the memories that brought us through
The feel of the wind when the window's down
And the feeling I get when I see you around
In my box, in my box

Letters
08:08

You're still in my mind from last night
You smiled and you waved just to remind
That we're said and done and you're back having fun
I grin at the thought of our first kiss
You closed your eyes and I almost missed
If I could go back I'd do it all again,
But I'm stuck by myself and my stupid grin
I've been writing letters for much too long
And pictures of you still hang from my wall
It's hard to admit that this leap was just another fall
Yeah say what you want, but I wasn't wrong
I won't pretend to know your thoughts
Hell, I don't even know what I want
So maybe next time you break my heart,
You can write me a book about what I'm not
I've been writing letters for much too long
And pictures of you still hang from my wall
It's hard to admit that this leap was just another fall
Yeah say what you want, but I wasn't wrong
Say what you want, say I was wrong
Say whatever you've been thinking all along
