I'll Be Fine
03:36
|
|||
|
When you say my name
It’s not the same
As when you scream it
But that’s okay
When you held my hand
I thought I’d understand
When you dropped it
But anyway
I've been tied so long
I don't mind
Moving on
When you changed your voice
You said you made a choice
And it’s not me, love
That’s all right
I’m healthy and young
It might hurt a ton
But don’t you hold back
Cause I don’t mind
My feet are stable now
I'll be fine
Standing ground
I’ve been up so long
I don’t mind
Coming down
Babe, I want you to know
When you go
Just let me down easy
And I’ll be fine

Storm Clouds
03:47
|

|
Stone tired
I could have kissed you and then said goodbye
I didn’t try
Now I’m leaving with two lips too dry
Given the seasons that change
Rearrange and exchange all we made
Crashing like waves and the tides
And the covers that hide all your shame
How can I sleep?
With these storm clouds
You’ve the warmest bed around
When the thunderclaps get loud
I will run from the sound
Stone tired
Like a rock I will sleep by your side
I’ll stay through the night
And will sneak out with morning’s new light
Given the time and the grime
And the sand that we scrubbed from our feet
Polished to prim, prepped, pristine,
Purified, and kept clean in the heat
How can I sleep?
With these storm clouds
I’ve the loneliest bed around
When the thunderclaps get loud
I will run from the sound
I won’t give up
But I might stall
I’ll just keep picking up
What you let fall
Stone tired
I still miss you when I hear goodbye
I’d give it time
But your face is still burned in my eyes
Given the host who will toast
To the ghost of the holiest man
I could have stayed, could have swayed
Could persuade you to give me your hand
How can I sleep?
With these storm clouds
You’ve the warmest bed around
When the thunderclaps get loud
I will run from the sound

Day's Worn Clothes
03:48
|
|||
|
Fell asleep with all the lights aglow
Was too beat to even shed my day’s worn clothes
Got to dreaming and I let it go
Think it’s time to catapult my line
I cast it out there but the fish they just won’t bite
A simple breeze can leave you far behind
Floating, swimming
In the morning I awake to find
Myself asweat with the lake still on my mind
I once told you love that “I’ll be fine”
I was lying
A pack of memories, the perfect day
The things you left me when you sent me away
I never moved in but I meant to stay
Godspeed, godspeed
Board it up
And keep me out
Walk away or run
Whatever you do, just keep moving
A silver whisper lined in grey shouts
Done means I can't keep doing
Narcissism boasts the world’s collapse
I tried a leap and I landed on my ass
Pick myself up? What an awful task
Buck up, grow up
Catatonic catty chasms collide
Darling, doubt derails desire in my eyes
Corrupt, corroded, and capsized
Goddamn, goddamn
Board it up
And keep me out
Walk away or run
Whatever you do, just keep moving
A silver whisper lined in grey shouts
Done means I can't keep doing

How We Roll
02:58

They said significant others were welcome, you see
Well, I’d like to think that you’re significant to me
And we can hold hands if we want to
And probably will ‘cause I want to
But do they know?
Oh, will they know?
That’s how we roll
Do you think we can kiss before we go to bed?
If not, I’d be fine just to lie here instead
I might look in your eyes just to see you
And probably will ‘cause I need to
But do they know?
Oh, will they know?
That’s how we roll
Something changed, yeah something happened to us
I can’t believe you tainted my trust
And you might quit ‘cause you see through
And probably will ‘cause you need to
But did I know?
How could I know?
That’s how you roll

Home Run

7 miles running
And I’m told
7 miles
And I’ll be home
I miss my lady
5 miles running
I’m getting sore
5 more miles
And I’ll be home
I miss my family
Tired of fucking running
It’s getting old
2 more miles
And I’ll be home
I miss my baby
1 mile running
I’m getting slow
1 more mile
And I’ll be home
I miss my lady

I am slow
And don't you know?
I can't decide
How to spend my time
I could love the way you laugh
And the way you say my name
But the world just might collapse
If our hearts are not the same
If I had more I'd shine
X and Y
If you could turn on a dime
I would commit my crime
I could love the way you play
If the ball was in my court
But I've come to sensing that
Your sport just ain't my sport

Shone

Leave me alone
Leave me to shine
I’m shown
But I know
You won’t leave me alone
I can break your heart in two
I can rough up everything you do
You can run in fact I want you to
But I can’t make you go away
Leave me alone
Leave me to shine
I’m shown
But I know
You won’t leave me alone
And everyday when I am with you
There’s something else that I would rather do
I feel I hate myself but it’s really you
Oh, won’t you fucking go away?
I can see myself shining
I can see myself aglow
I can see myself shining
If you just leave me alone
I can break your heart in two
I can fuck up everything you do
You can run in fact I'm begging you
Oh, won't you just leave me alone

Crock Pot
03:55

It’s a long way
We have come so far
And you know I’m in it
For the long run
And, darling
The days are telling me
It’s a good one
I was equipped for war
But it’s been nothing more
Than a long walk
With you, hand in hand
Through Prospect Park
And I wonder
What your mom would say
If she saw us today
I wonder
What your mom would say
If she saw us together
I wonder
What your mom would say
If she was alive
Today
Who’d'a thought that
I’d be growing old
With you by my side and I’d
Be a mother
To a girl with
Curly hair just like mine and I’d
Have a real job
I wear high heels to work
I belong to a gym and I
Own a crock pot
And I never leave home
Without moisturizing
And I wonder
What my mom would say
If she saw me today
I wonder
What my mom would say
If she saw us together
I wonder
What my mom would say
If she was alive
Today
You’re a good one
And I’m starting to think
I’ll keep you around some
I’m the right one
And you know that by now
So quit your kidding
Well you caught me
But I happen to think
You’re cute when you’re angry
That is not true
I am cute all the time
Much cuter than you
And I wonder
What your mom would say
If she saw us today
I wonder
What my mom would say
If she saw us together
I wonder
What Denise would say
If she was alive
Today

Brand New Glasses
04:35
|

|
At the stroke of midnight
You saw the moonlight
Out your door
Watching Degrassi
Drinking Carlo Rossi
That’s amore
On the way home
I contemplate those
Memories
Your face it flashes
In your brand new glasses
Looking my way
And I know you don’t
Want to be alone
So call me, babe
On the telephone
It takes dedication
To defend the nation
And here I am
Your gold locket
Fills my pocket
And warms my hand
Back in Cleveland
You made me believe in
The Tribe
Your brand new glasses
They attract the masses
To your eyes
And I know you don’t
Want to be alone
So call me, babe
On the telephone
Things I say
They could make you cry
But your brand new glasses
They will shield your eyes

Suitcase
04:23

Would you like to hold my suitcase?
Would you like to hold my hand?
If I could be anything you want me to be
Would you want me to be your man?
It’s not like me to worry
It ain't like me to care
But if you want me to hurry on home
I suppose that I could meet you there
And all the days you loved me
Did I wait too long?
The articles in my suitcase
Think I packed it all wrong
And all the ways of my past life
Did I lie in a song?
Stones and thrones, thrown and sat on
Hesitation lives on
I’m not the kind you can rely on
To have an amazing life
If you can't help but keep up with me
We’ll have to take it all in stride
My German blood and Swedish sorrow
I’ll try to help it if I can
If I change to be something that I am not
Would you want me to be your man?
And all the days you loved me
Did I wait too long?
The articles in my suitcase
Think I packed them all wrong
And all the ways of my past life
Did I lie in a song?
Stones and thrones, thrown and sat on
Hesitation lives on

Always Earl Grey
03:48

I have a karaoke book
Pick a song you’d like to sing
Maybe Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Or Sultans of Swing
Grab yourself a microphone
And I will take one too
We’ll sing ourselves a sweet duet
Until the song is through
Words you said to me that day
That day marked on my mind
The salty scented memories
And meanings assigned
Have yourself a cup of tea
So we can sing all day
There’s always green and always black
And always Earl Grey
Half of what I said to you
Meant something at the time
But now that I am looking back
I cannot seem to find
The meaning in the words I spoke
And all that I would do
It’s always green and always black
And now I’m feeling blue
Give emotion
I’ll try to
Bring the ocean
To my eyes and I’ll
Sing it loudly
So you’ll hear and I
I will conquer
That stage fear
It’s gone
Half of what you said to me
Meant something at the time
But holding on and holding back
Will make me lose my mind
The pink words are for me to sing
The teal ones are for you
There’s always green and always black
And now I’m feeling blue
Pick another tune my dear
We’ll sing it all the day
There’s always green and always black
And always Earl Grey
Give emotion
I’ll try to
Bring the ocean
To my eyes and I’ll
Sing it loudly
So you’ll hear and I
I will conquer
That stage fear
It’s gone

When I'm Dead
03:34
|
|||
|
You know sometimes
I can’t lie
Your big green eyes
Delay goodbyes
All these feelings
I hold ‘em deep inside
And over time
The stack grows high
My heart’s still bleeding red
And I’m hearing things you said
In my head
Oh the time
I crossed state lines
And at what cost
Babe I got lost
My heart’s still bleeding red
And I’m hearing things you said
In my head
“You will get it right,” you said
When I’m dead
