If I could open my arms
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan I'd bring it to where you are Making a lake of the East River and Hudson If I could open my mouth Wide enough for a marching band to march out They would make your name sing And bend through alleys and bounce off other buildings I wish we could open our eyes To see in all directions at the same time Oh what a beautiful view If you were never aware of what was around you And it is true what you said That I live like a hermit in my own head But when the sun shines again I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound But while you do, they're half empty and half full It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown Your love is gonna drown Your love is gonna drown Your love is gonna drown Your love is gonna drown Your love is gonna... |

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing And feel, feel what its like to be new Cause in my head there's a greyhound station Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations So they may have a chance of finding a place where they're far more suited than here I cannot guess what we'll discover We turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels But I know our filthy hand can wash one another's And not one speck will remain I do believe it's true That there are roads left in both of our shoes If the silence takes you Then I hope it takes me too So brown eyes I hold you near Cause you're the only song I want to hear A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere Where soul meets body Where soul meets body Where soul meets body I do believe it's true That there are roads left in both of our shoes If the silence takes you Then I hope it takes me too So brown eyes I hold you near Cause you're the only song I want to hear A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere |

Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast The water's warm and children swim And we frolicked about in our summer skin I don't recall a single care Just greenery and humid air Then Labor day came and went And we shed what was left of our summer skin On the night you left I came over And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders Our brand new coats so flushed and pink And I knew your heart I couldn't win Cause the seasons change was a conduit And we left our love in our summer skin |

Alone on a train
aimless in wonder An outdated map crumpled in my pocket But I didn't care where I was going They're all different names for the same place Your ghost just appeared with the scenes from the summer I have no words to share with anyone The boundary of language quietly coos All the different names for the same thing There are different names for the same things There are different names for the same things There are different names There are different names There are different names There are different names There are different names There are different names There are different names different names There are different names for the same things There are different names for the same things |

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind I'll follow you into the dark No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white Just our hands clasped so tight Waiting for the hint of a spark If heaven and hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black And I held my toungue as she told me "Son fear is the heart of love" So I never went back If heaven and hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark You and me have seen everything to see From Bangkok to Calgary And the soles of your shoes are all worn down The time for sleep is now It's nothing to cry about Cause we'll hold each other soon The blackest of rooms If heaven and hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark Then I'll follow you into the dark |

Burn it down till the embers smoke on the ground
And start new when your heart is an empty room With walls of the deepest blue Fall fades how it ages when you're away Spring blooms and you find the love that's true But you don't know what now to do Cause the chase is all you know And she stopped running months ago And all you see is where else you could be When you're at home out on the street Are so many possibilities to not be alone The flames and smoke climbed out of every window And disappeared with everything that you held dear And you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn't need Cause you knew you were finally free Cause all you see is where else you could be When you're at home out on the street Are so many possibilities to not be alone And all you see is where else you could be When you're at home there on the street Are so many possibilities to not be alone |

I once knew a girl in the years of my youth
With eyes like the summer of beauty and truth But in the morning I fled, left a note and it read Someday you will be loved I can not pretend that I felt any regret Cause each broken heart will eventually mend As the blood runs red down the needle and thread Someday you will be loved You'll be loved, you'll be loved Like you never have known And the memories of me will seem more like bad dreams Just a series of blurs like I never occurred Someday you will be loved You may fell alone when you're falling asleep And every time tears roll down you cheeks But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet And someday you will be loved You'll be loved, you'll be loved Like you never have known And the memories of me will seem more like bad dreams Just a series of blurs like I never occurred Someday you will be loved You'll be loved, you'll be loved Like you never have known And the memories of me will seem more like bad dreams Just a series of blurs like I never occurred Someday you will be loved Someday you will be loved |

It was one hundred degrees
As we sat beneath a willow tree Who's tears didn't care, they just hung in the air And refused to fall, to fall And I knew I'd made horrible call And now the state line felt like the Berlin Wall And there was no doubt about which side I was on Cause I built you a home in my heart With rotten wood, and it decayed from the start Cause you can't find nothing at all If there was nothing there all along No, you can't find nothing at all If there was nothing there all along I braved treacherous streets And kids strung out on homemade speed And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep At all, woohoo woohoooo Cause at night the sun in the tree Made the skyline look like crooked teeth In the mouth of a man who was devouring us both You're so cute when you're slurring your speech But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave And you can't find nothing at all If there was nothing there all along No, you can't find nothing at all If there was nothing there all along I'm a war of head versus heart And it's always this way My head is weak, my heart always speaks Before I know what it will say And you can't find nothing at all If there was nothing there all along No, you can't find nothing at all If there was nothing there all along |

And it came to me then
That every plan Is a tiny glance of father time As I stared at my shoes In the ICU That reeked of piss and 409 And I rationed my breaths As I said to myself That I'd already taken to much today As each descending peak On the LCD Took you a little farther away from me Away from me... Amongst the vending machines And year old magazines In a place where we only say goodbye It's done like a violent limp That our memories depend On a faulty camera in our minds And I knew that you were truth I would rather lose Than to have never laid in the sun at all Then I looked around At all the eyes on the ground As the TV entertained itself Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room Just nervous spaces bracing for bad news Then the nurse comes round and everyone lifts their head And I'm thinking of what Sarah said But love is watching someone die... So who's gonna watch you die? So who's gonna watch you die? |

Time for the final bow
Rows of deserted houses All our stable mates are highway bound Give us our measly sum Getting the air inside my lungs is heavenly We're starting out with nothing but crippling doubt. We'll rest easy justified I've suffered a swift defeat I'll endure countless repeats The gift of memory's an awful curse. With age it just gets much worse, but I won't mind |
