"Evergreen"

"Evergreen"



Red shoes go sailing through the trees
Leaving no traces at all
Not even a scattering of leaves
Reflections are only your memories

Evergreen lay down beside me
Evergreen, Evergreen
Evergreen make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains my love
Evergreen never says nothing that's mean
Evergreen, Evergreen my love my love

It might be easy to judge all that kindness
If you had grown accustomed to a darkness in a life
But certainly any room with a view of other windows must have doors that you can use
So that you can be happy for the first time in your life
Hey man it's your destiny
You can stop by anytime

And maybe you'll find someone to lay some roots down next to you
Be more like the trees and less like the clouds stop movin' around so much

Evergreen lay down beside me
Evergreen, Evergreen
Evergreen make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains my love
Evergreen lay down beside me
Evergreen, Evergreen
Evergreen make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains my love
Evergreen never says nothing that's mean
Evergreen, Evergreen my love my love

I miss my Evergreen
Evergreen, Evergreen
Evergreen, Evergreen
My love

"Everybody Knows"

"Everybody Knows"



You come for me in the worst of places
You come for me, you come and try to take me home
I'm always in need and it's hard to be reciprocating
The fabric of our life gets torn
And everything's changing so how i am to know
How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control
You an i together
But only one of us in love
And everybody knows
He says her name, it echoes in my head like it was a canyon
He says her name, he says it and i know what's up
You come to me sometimes when i'm thinking like a cannonball shooting out a canyon
And i forget whatever it was i was thinking about
With everything changing how am i to know
How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control
With out and i together
But only one of us in love
And everybody knows

"Feels Like Fire"

"Feels Like Fire"



Are you there?
Screaming in the night
Somewhere
Hanging from the side

Feel the sunlight
The sunlight on my face
It's cold out here
Lost in outer space

Just so you know
You will always be the hardest thing I will let go
Driving past your church and all the houses in a row
The feeling in my chest is fire
Broken glass and wire

See my smile?
I'm thinking of the days
Light reflecting in your eyes
It was never the same

I wanna lie down
I wanna ride in your car
You can take me anywhere
Roll us into heaven I don't care

Just so you know
You will always be the hardest thing I will let go
Driving past your church and all the houses in a row
The feeling in my chest is fire

Just so you know
Don't let anybody tell you
You can't say
What you want
I can hear you
Are you on your way?
The feeling in my chest is fire
It feels like fire
Broken glass and wire
It feels like fire

I feel a scream
Someplace in my chest
And I pour my thoughts
Down the drain in my head

The lens is broke
There ain't no one inside
Staring through the screen
Looking back at my fucking life

Just so you know
You will always be the hardest thing I will let go
Driving past your church and all the houses in a row
The feeling in my chest is fire

Just so you know
Don't let anybody tell you
You can't say
What you want
I can hear you
Are you on your way?
Someone take me home tonight
It feels like fire
It feels like fire
It feels like fire
Broken glass and wire

"Firecracker"

"Firecracker"



Black birds slow and softly breaks a glass of wine
Broken bluesy whisper sing to me tonight
Well, everybody wants to go forever
I just wanna burn up hard and bright
I just wanna be your firecracker
And maybe be your baby tonight
Maybe be your baby tonight

Lady, your kicks of silence cough into your room
Kiss me slow and softly make me dream of you
Well, everybody wants to forever
I just wanna burn up hard and bright
I just wanna be your firecracker
And maybe be your baby tonight
Maybe be your baby tonight

So when does the plane go down
'Cause I'm ride it till it hits the ground
Then go out with a fight
'Cause I just wanna be your baby tonight

"Fix It"

"Fix It"



What makes them walk away, after all these years?
These years of learning in the hard way
By the lessons from the tears
I know it's not a game
But it feels like losing when someone
You love throws you away

I'd fix it, I'd fix it
I'd fix it, I'd fix it if I could
And I'd always win, I'd always win
I always win the in end

How easy was it for you making those plans you made?
Before I became something for you
You know to try to dislocate
But, I know it's not a game
But if feels like losing when someone
You love throws you away

I'd fix it, I'd fix it
I'd fix it, I'd fix it if I could
And I'd always win, I'd always win
And you'd always lose

Look what I did to you, look what you did to me
Fixed it, fix it
I'd fix it if I could
And I'd always win, I'd always win
I'd always win in the end

"Follow The Lights"

"Follow The Lights"



These very moments as they pass
It's like you're just dreaming of busting someone else
My hands they hold a candle to the pages
These days they go so fast, these days of ours

Follow the lights that line the streets
Connecting telephones
Follow the lights from house to house
And they will lead you home

They will lead you home
'Cause there was never anywhere to go
There was never anywhere to go
But home

If every second here is true
Our love is strong enough to guide the way and we'll walk through
Hands inside of hands, hearts inside of hearts
Like eyes closed, side by side and through

Follow the lights that line the streets
Connecting telephones
Follow the lights from house to house
And they will lead you home

They will lead you home
'Cause there was never anywhere to go
There was never anywhere to go
But home

If everything we are is real
Our memories are attics in those houses on the hill
Our love is there above us holding everything so still
And we are always here, yes, we are always here

So follow the lights that line the streets
Connecting telephones
Follow the lights from house to house
And they will lead you home

They will lead you home
'Cause there was never anywhere to go
There was never anywhere to go
There was never anywhere to go
But home, home

"Friends"

"Friends"



As pretty as a song
A song could ever be
Like Christmas on a river
Without a boat or Christmas tree
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end
And when you pass on
I bet you miss your friends

As simple as a breeze
Tugging hard upon the sail
Been moving through these streets forever
From Istanbul to Amsterdam
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end
And when you pass on
God, I bet you miss your friends

As pretty as a song
A song could ever be
Like Christmas on a river
Without a boat or Christmas tree
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end
And when you pass on
God, I bet you miss your friends
Miss your friends
God, I bet you miss your friends

"Fuck The Universe"

"Fuck The Universe"



Slowly, coming over me
Like fire and ice
Confusion all to the ground

Stone me like you own me
The strangest moving patterns
All flow through this city

Strummin' as she's cumin'
She starts a revolution
But never shows up

So holy, give me coma
Alkaline and mainframes
Into a kiss

Cities destroyed and so pretty
The patterns of illusion
Burn through the ground

And I'm a faker, faker
I'm a faker, I'm a faker, I'm a faker
Vampire, coffins to kiss

I'm a faker, I'm a faker
Morning may crawl
Fuck you and fuck the universe

Fuck the universe
Fuck the universe
Fuck the universe

"Games"

"Games"



You ain't but a fire on my sad estate
Burning my house to the ground
High and meadow, oh how she rides me
Out in the meadow where the taxis don't ride
A million times quicker than the pain
Ohhh, games
A million times better than the pain

You ain't but a telegram nobody's sendin'
Nobody sends me but you
High and mellow, slow and steady
Out in the meadow with you
A million times better than the pain
Ohhh, games
A million times better than the pain
Ohhh, games
Oooo, games
You ain't but a fire on my sad estate
Burning my house to the ground

"Gimme A Sign"

"Gimme A Sign"



Here's a picture of your lonely Fridays
Turned to nothing on a Friday night
Firecracker with a pile of empties
Detonated with a lonely fire
I see your face, I hear your voice
I touch the phone and wonder
Is this explosion gonna set me reeling?
Or just another thing to pull me under?
If you could give me anything tonight
Just a wink, or even just a sigh
I'll be okay, 'cause I've been waiting for a sign
I've been waiting for a sign, to come
Are you the one?

And I was breathless on a Sunday morning
And I was speechless on a Sunday night
For a lack of better understanding
Felt like an engine that just didn't need a tire
I see your face, I hear your voice
I touch the screen and wonder
And I been waiting for the sun to tell me
It's just been sitting here, I don't know why
If you could give me anything tonight
Just a wink, or even just a sigh
I'll be okay, 'cause I've been waiting for a sign
I've been waiting for a sign
I've been waiting for a sign
To come
