After the first time we kissed
I drove for an hour in the wrong direction Frozen in the winter wind Where nothing could ever begin I saw you You were shining like a brand new sun Shining starlight For me For you and me, my love Pass a junkyard on the left Time to catch my breath Almost to the out-of-state line Oh, it'll be better This time, this time |

Saw a car burning down on the side of the highway
Ambulance came but I couldn't tell if it got there on time Lights all a'flashin i could see them through the rear view mirror II watched them disappear F you gimme a ride i can take you higher If you gimme a ride i'll do the same for you Some time People come and go But they fit just like pieces of puzzles Pieces of troubles Lovers come Lovers move on I looked for you in the rubble But i couldn't find you I can't seem to let you go This is where we cross that line This is where we lost our time Abondon love every time For something more If you gimme a ride i can take you higher If you gimme a ride i'll do the same for you Some times |

Pulling back the rain is wet
We're still inside it all And what's yours in the morning By the night it all could be gone You sound so good to me And I have to say I'm glad it wasn't me Who had to walk away Memory is heavy when you have to write The pictures that are scattered They swell up in your eyes And how much becomes yours What can you throw away All this it matters on moving day Sweeping out from under the bed Afraid of what you'll find Looking out windows for the last time See past that face in front of you And lift your head Leave the saddest room |

This doesn't have to end,
But it should. We used to help each other out, Now it doesn't feel good. So go back to your room And hide with your cellophane. All twisted up in two Like Caliban you've seen it all Without language to use. The phonecalls stopped, The letters, too. Maybe we passed on the street, Pretended we never knew. It might be worth the effort But we don't have the time Or the will to intrude. Sooner or later you have to choose Between one set of lies and another. It's nothing new. But like it or not, There's part of me in you. I don't know if I'll ever see you again And there's one thing I'll never understand. It's like the words that we said Rolled over to play dead And we kissed them goodbye And never questioned why. |

I see you in the car in the night with your lights on
All running the cold towards the dark and the trees There's something pulling me back under your covers But a woman who knows better sees that it's time to leave There's nothing more that i could give to the center Of a place that has never stood still There's not enough room here and there's never enough poison To kill the way that i really feel But when i get home i find you Begging and scratching for more Don't force me to be cruel Find your own way to the door 'cause you have to recognize that i am justified And i, i can break you down You asked for this, you don't have the guts to get over And i'm so tired that's the price of your whys And i don't mind telling you that you made me cry too I was won like a prize and you don't have the guts just to tell me the truth So i leave you in the car in the night with your lights on All running the cold past the dark and the trees Is this what you wanted, evidence of everything I will plead guilty, i need this release |

Fixing an eye on the hopeful
In a heartless room you'll be done soon The snow is falling down And the whole damn town is covered with white It's obvious that trust is the catch and the magnet That could pull you through this braille night Where nothing's free and you just can't see How to sacrifice what you need to be You can't shake this silence still In your heart you're just not there You're a thousand miles from here You just want to disappear Winter went out with a whimper Such a lonely sound to try to get around Imagine yourself as a little kid In your parents arms and then it's gone You step to the mic almost petrified 'cause everything you feel is in your eyes You cannot hide but you're haunted By the early frost By the ones you've lost Beauty shines so bright Vanishes from sight Wrap yourself in the night Love with all your might You can't shake this silence still In your heart you're just not there You're a thousand miles from here You just want to disappear You're a thousand miles away You're a thousand miles away You're a thousand miles away You're a thousand miles away |

Hold back again
Don't deny They always want you to Pull the ship from out of the sky Give out some more It's such a steal They only want you to Market the way that you feel You'll never know How much I care I notice the way that you look at me When you're not there Still having fun In for the long run Only just begun |

What you get is what you bargained for
At the store aisle in the store I'm wondering what's in store for me Look for the discounts, discount in everything Everything trivial, everything unfriendly They're all out of the good ones again But I'm not looking for a few pennies off Just show me something that doesn't go soft We're all out We're all out Outside everything's colder Kids get older, friends get so far apart Just hold on, to something, anything Convenience highlights imminence The imminence of change And I hold coupons in my hands Empty demands Standing in the aisle Lately it's anything that sets me off At the store aisle, back for more I'm wondering how to start again Because all sales are final Finality finds me looking for discounts Hell-bent on easy and Nothing good ever comes that way But I'm not looking to save a few cents I just need something that doesn't break when it bends But they're all out |

Smashing up a bottle Trying to be rudie In a tourist town We were so aimless But so filled with purpose And I got so nervous On your wedding day It's great to see you now To see your eyes You know that they're So clear and strong When you look into mine Do you still see me the same I can still see us everywhere I look It's time I come back to this shitty town |

Down on your back
All of your secrets collide You rise and shine Lost in your world Just killing time Nobody knows The gift gets so lost behind the lies Get to the point Before you die Light coming down to the ground Time doesn't hold up It gets folded in your eyes That's why you try To write through the day and all the night Crushed by the joy that seeps from this site that pulls you in You try again Light coming down to the ground |

Summer snapped in half and half flippin' coffee creamers
Twenty times, that's a good sign, like a four-leaf clover Downtown was filled with the sounds of the full and the part time losers And when we stepped up to the bar, you asked for a cigarette and the years just melted away right then And I saw all the ways that we've changed and the decisions that we made And I wasn't hurt or afraid Some skin holds night in Some gifts go unrequited I dreamed I was holding my breath Go down again till I'm breathing in water and breaking like the day, getting in your way |

I am standing outside
The birds are flying west I am in the middle of a puddle With mud on my dress But I liked the way that I was And I wanted to stay that way But I took a walk last night And now everything, everything's changed I like to draw maps I like to show you where I've been This is the place where it's hotter than summer This is where I'm called Madeline Have you ever felt heat so deep in your blood? Where fire meets iron and melts down the core This is the thing that you shouldn't have done And that's what I'm gonna make you pay for this Now that I make this noise I don't have to listen to you You asked to see my compass It's pointed toward the sky Time is going to give up on me I need to learn to fly I'm going to spread my wings And hold my only pain And the birds will commend my island As I swim to the top of the rain |

Easier to lie Thank you for your kind letter Thank you for your kind letter It's better just to know than find out later It's better just to hide Honesty always matters Honesty always matters Oh this fallen arrow Never found its way to your heart I shot it with all I had left It was a rocket in the sky until it tumbled to the ground It was a rocket in the sky until it fell Wouldn't take you more than ten small paces Wouldn't take you less Stop by when you're feeling better Stop by when you're feeling better Oh this fallen arrow Never found its way to your heart I shot it with all I had left It was a rocket in the sky until it tumbled to the ground It was a rocket in the sky until it fell It was a rocket in the sky until it tumbled to the ground It was a rocket in the sky until it fell |

Always more than I can catch inside this jar
Lighting up the night sky Flicker in your eye Ladybugs crawl across your hand In plain sight, broad daylight I don't mind But in the dark Invisible and beautiful Then gone again When you've forgotten them They're back again On and off On and off On and off Only a fool tries to follow the light of a firefly |

On slow days
Thoughts free to wander Over to West Hurley And down past Ashokan The reservoir And Georgia waving from the back of a car She holds your hand She holds it so tightly She digs in her fingernails And later that night, she whispers a name She says it aloud for the last time Cutting that milkweed Bending down low in her navy blue dress I'll never know which one I resemble the best Oh, Georgia, you have been missed The light from the moon It falls on the Hudson And your mind is back in 1907 The reservoir And Georgia waving from the back of a car |

On the way to California
See my sister Carolina Looking out on South Dakota At a field of gladiolas Gonna sell it in the summer Leave behind the floods and winters Letting go of what they suffered Let it fall away like rain across the plains From a payphone on a corner Making plans for our departure I could wish we'd rush right over Looking back over my shoulder Cold December weather Not keeping us together It's New Years Eve forever We're flying down the turnpike in the night Looking out to the horizon Anyone could see the swelling of your heart All the lights that shine before you Looks so helpless, and so far to see Someone's always running faster Towards the anchor that you need You forget again and ask her Why the light, it had to leave An echo in a footstep, a whisper from a portrait Shows us all the stars you see |

The passage of time
Is flicking dimly up on the screen I can't see the lines I used to think I could read between Perhaps my brains have turned to sand Only, oh my I think it's been an eternity You'd be surprised At my degree of uncertainty How can moments go so slow Several times I've seen the evening slide away Watching the signs Taking over from the fading day Perhaps my brains are old and scrambled Several times I've seen the evening slide away Watching the signs Taking over from the fading day Changing water into wine Several times I've seen the evening slide away Watching the signs Taking over from the fading day Putting grapes back on the vine |

If i get lost along the way to meet you
If i'm more than a little late If i get caught up in circles chasing my own tail If i trip up and fail you If i let you down If i let you down I can see that injury that accompanies the passage of you I can try to rationalize the accumulation of fear And the dreams that draw a song in pursuit of the end of time And the grace that illuminates the past If i let you down If i let you down In the night the city's quiet From the rooftop we can see the moon rise high above the clouds Just enough light to see our faces give expression to the words we thought but didn't speak And then you asked me a question that i won't forget Even if i spend my life trying to live up to what it means If i let you down If i let you down Don't let it break down Don't let it break down Don't let it break down |

Looking out from nowhere
Taking in a view I see in the sideway between me and you Nothing is forever you can spend a lifetime learning that Gather your defenses, and we'll always leave you alone Playing back the pictures You can almost taste it now Memory is so sure but it's never quite what is was Everything's distorted when you're looking through the glass Pictures change their color, impressions they always have Markers all scattering light Pulling shadows falling on your back Falling on your eyes We were carrying the corpse Dropped it in a well Tried to salvage something even though we landed in hell You grieve so silently In and out of memory So take another shot before you bend to say goodbye Take another shot before you bend to say goodbye And after all is said After all is said After all is said and done You take it right You take it right?right Back After all is said, it's the only thing on your mind After all is said, it's the only thing on my, only thing Only |

Poor dumb canary
You finally threw yourself in a glass Treated you so badly Gave you everything that you wanted Poor dumb bird You sang a song or two You did it better than anyone else They took it far as they could They took it into their hands and it got to your gut Poor dumb bird You think you made it stop, You think you made it good, You think you saved your soul, You can watch from your box as they serve up what's left of your beak Poor dumb bird The sun can rise if it wants, The rain can fall if it wants, The fire can strike where it likes But when one good bird chooses to fly the whole sky starts to look better Now that you've gone and lit up the sky And gone and left it burning There's no one left to do your work Though they're already starting to try Many sweet song that was left to come will stay on the tip of your tongue Many sweet song that was left to come will stay on the tip of your tongue |

Some days fall somewhere in between Today i would like to tear you apart at the seams Taking a plane is the worst kind of day Holding your breath in the sky You should never write a letter that high Speaking my mind is not what i do best But i have to get this all off my chest Open this window and hope that these words will fly But hey what does it matter now Cause turning back pages is not something time will allow But wait i never got to say You were digging into me and then you just got away So how can you say that i'm wasting time After all of the years i have spent trying to fill up the hole That you left sitting there in my heart And i'm taking it back And i'm making it mine I am still trying Oh ohhhh oh Some days are heavy and some days are mean Some days fall somewhere in between, in between |

I'm sailing on a ship so smooth
Maybe I don't have much to lose or win From your wide open eyes again With a willing heart and mind I will never be Far behind We're just haunted in our skins By all that could've been You hide it from your face but it still shows There's no words for what you are You stay while death Is chasing the stars away From the night sky You run And want what you always wanted back Time won't ever swallow everything Whole If you give all your love(love) I'll be waiting I'll be waiting I'll be waiting |

Again
So upset Just hold me Don't let me forget What's important What's important Take off your dress Let's stay in bed all day All night I don't care If they're out there If they're out there So worn out Only love can erase The debts 'Cause the world Is growing colder It's getting colder I want To be strong In the face of What's wrong 'Cause we still Have each other Each other |

Did time takes it toll,
Did it cost too much? Did it cost all the sweetness That, was the best time you ever had. It slipped so swift from the palm of your hand, The time's when you stood tall. Crawling with a backwards glance so strong, That you can't believe it at all. You thought that you lost such a solid love; The best friend you ever had. But the world is upside down, Too many moments you could not keep, The places that saw you speak, You don't know how to see this through. What did you miss? In the telling of all this And how could you guess That it would ever be like this? |

Sitting in the office
Sitting in your chair The temporary positions Friends that disappear Call a toll-free number Voicemail message clear You might need some assistance Sorry, no one's there You said You said You caught me In the middle of a bad time again Meaning you are living Leaving you alive Like everybody else In the middle of a bad time Who's that call waiting On the telephone line And new friends can get fragile Scrambling for time with you A bad time Bad time In the middle of a bad time How long I've been waiting And collecting calls Yeah don't you want to know You got lots of messages from All over town Some of them know you But most of them are just business as usual You said You said You caught me In the middle of a bad time What's the point of trying To begin again Or even finding out In the middle of a bad time Who gonna help you When the elevator door jams When all you've got are contracts Couldn't give a damn About you A bad time Bad time Middle of a bad time |

A sullen spent seven years
Scraping love from the dust that covers your fingerprints I sit around and watch the splintering Of a trust that I never seemed to have a hand in Well maybe it's true I'm barely there So easily mistaken for your favorite chair Like a perfect and graceful fading Well I thank you For giving me nothing 'cause who could be a witness Who could have the patience You like to sit there in it Privileged and indifferent You never come around to see my side So i don't get to tell you that I'm doing fine Monday comes, and Monday goes You're my faithful, stand-by no show 'cause who could tell the story Sit down and read it to me Who'd reveal their memories Be the first to say Yeah I do see you when you're looking down Pages scattered on the ground You're the one who tore them out You're the one who tore them out Yeah I do see you Right through And it feels too soon to leave you Leave you |
