Fight, we can try
I'd love an answer that isn't sly Or so, so you say Don't toast the day for the twilight For you I'm a pushover I would if I could, I would I just want you to say come on Wish me luck wish me love Unkind girlish walk Like a deed to the world without the talk As you wade through the crowd I sit next to you, the seat still warm For you I'm a pushover I would if I could, I would I just want you to say come on Wish me luck wish me love |

Here's how I found out
a man called my house he asked me what I knew they found my letter And I don't have to wonder no I don't have to wonder so I don't have to wonder did it reach you? Did it reach you? Good morning Fire Island I'm not sure who to ask they said wait until tomorrow they found my letter And I don't have to wonder so I don't have to wonder no I don't have to wonder did it reach you? Did it reach you? Cinders in the garden from the cars parked on the lawn they're tracking up the carpet they found my letter and I don't have to wonder no I don't have to wonder so I don't have to wonder did it reach you? Did it reach you? You've got to start the car the ice has come |

I know I wasn't made to play on a team
you weighed your suitcase down but it still wouldn't sink I know that crime doesn't pay but I don't know any other way the way that she smiles me down she claims to be clowning I finally long for someone teaspoon two can just bleed into one but only one does the bleeding she calls me the alphabet gun teaspoon I know I wasn't made to play on a team you weighed your suitcase down but it still wouldn't sink I know that crime doesn't pay but I don't know any other way She orders the pilot to land she just wants to hold the man well I am her pilot today teaspoon |

Did you say what you wanted said?
And now you're just putting the days to bed young actors want to play and play and you'll play, but you're working call applicants and stole cornering them we're all waiting for the big day if you feel crazy that you're still crazy it hasn't happened for a few days well just wait in hindsight you're gonna wish you were here you keep scratching at the old paint but the wood is still there and the room is still there if you're trying to feel the wind well that's a window you're pressed against you never told me your secrets so I guess they stayed safe with me tall orders from such small shoulders and invitations on blue paper but I'm bailing water and bailing water 'cause I like the shape of the boat you asked me and I told you and you asked me and I told you and I told you in hindsight you're gonna wish you were here you keep scratching at the old paint but the wood is still there and the room is still there if you're my anchor then I'm throwing you over the side before I have the time to say I never wanted anyone this way but I'm smoking cigarettes when no one else does and if I hold you now will I be holding a snowball when the season changes and I'm craving the sun? Are you still training for the big race by hoping the runners will die? Churning the words of your disgrace but it's how you are when you're down that counts and you know we're a good thing it's been a long time since you said put down your camera and let me ask you is this new move just to keep moving? in hindsight you're gonna wish you were here you keep scratching at the old paint but the wood is still there and the room is still there if I kiss you now like sun streaming in a tavern's door would you wonder what I'm kissing you for? |

Little airports keep in mind
they got file folders and dry-erase boards I retired from the air force long enough ago to know the sky is open I call the tower and draw the line I'm flying, yes I'm climbing a better pilot couldn't find even so, even I can only fly so high the sky is open in the war I flew the islands I knew the quiet, it's pilot science my propeller tries to find the air I'm finally the highest bird the sky is open |

She loves the singer, every song can bring her close to tears
but when she talks about his band it just confirms her mother's fears a little crush on the singer but in her heart she knows it's true everything is different when he's singing right to you her mother says honest, it's alright to be a singer but don't you love a singer whatever you do let the crowd press on the stage and let the lights wash out their eyes sixteen years ago I was completely mesmerized and then the night was done and the singer disappeared behind the stage and the roadies came and picked me out from on the barricade Honest, it's alright to be a singer but don't you love a singer whatever you do, whatever you do I wouldn't change for a moment my life or my ideals but once I loved a singer and I know just how you feel for him to say so plainly what your heart can vouch is true means something is connecting you, something is connecting you Honest, it's alright to be a singer but don't you love a singer whatever you do, whatever you do don't you love a singer don't you love a singer |

I don't know why I bring you around
When you, you start out so dry And then decide to be quiet Like an angry shout When you consider yourself And you do consider yourself Well, give me something that you like If there's something you're so proud about You're in love with someone You're gonna love till it's done You're in love with someone you don't like You should have been a rich wife (Should have been a rich wife) You should have been a rich wife (Should have been a rich wife) You should have been a rich wife Now tell me, is your high horse Getting a little hard to ride? And your little bit on the side Gettin' harder to find? When you get restless at night But it's too late to start And there's nothing left to eat in this house but your heart You should have been a rich wife (Should have been a rich wife) You should have been a rich wife (Should have been a rich wife) You should have been a rich wife I don't know why I bring you around Just to dis the art and look the part But there's a bit you're leaving out And you keep it all to yourself But it's not the wine that brings a crowd And the crowd is not much help But you see the clouds and put your signal out And then count the notches on your belt You're in love with someone You're gonna love till it's done You're in love with someone you don't like You should have been a rich wife (Should have been a rich wife) You should have been a rich wife (Should have been a rich wife) You should have been a rich wife (Should have been a rich wife) You should have been a rich wife |

Student, why do you dream of me
When you dream of your acre of trees? It was agreed I came to burn leaves It's all I ever claimed to do A ploughman I'll never grow into My arms miss you My hands miss you The stars sing, I've got their song in my head Blue in the broad light of day Your claws are snagged on my face Say it, I wish we would make it And I wish that I could take it When you turn on me My arms miss you My hands miss you The stars sing, I've got their song in my head Oh, I don't want my words twisted I don't want you to listen too closely Or wait for me impatiently And I hope I can keep seeing you As long as you don't say you're falling in love Crave translates into slave No one can harness the rain And I can make myself into rain You feel me on your cheek And on your sleeve My arms miss you My hands miss you The stars sing, I've got their song in my head Oh, I don't want my words twisted I don't want you to listen too closely Or wait for me impatiently And I hope I can keep seeing you As long as you don't say you're falling in love And I can feel you're about to forget Yes, I can feel you're about to forget |

Your new haircut is so unfamiliar
but they only know you that way your new teases are so hilarious well I never thought I'd hear you say that I did the driving and the falling knives seemed anything was worth a try you never said it but I think I get it and maybe you were right that I miss you Seven I miss you Seven did you see me the way I imagined every eyelash a picket or a wire did you tease me when I went out of fashion and your interest in me had expired well I stopped but how can I really stop and stay stopped? I miss you Seven (the distance helps me only so much) is it asking too much would you say that I am the last thing you want to remember me by I miss you Seven (the distance helps me only so much) |
