Not a Whim
01:46
|
|||
|
Not a whim
So chalk it up
To choke it down
The bitter taste
Sweet til it's gone
There's many things that it could be
But there's one thing it is not
Not a whim
|

Else
02:00
|
|||
|
And when you wake
I won't be there
And when I wake
You'll be somewhere
And when I wake
The same old sun
And when you wake
You'll wake someone
Someone else, someone else
Somewhere else, somewhere else

More
01:36
|

|
Might be something out there better
But can you know for sure
Til you've opened every door
You'll be wondering if you found it
And what's more
You might have had it before
Same old jokes get old and tired
Sights make your eyes get sore
Even love can leave you bored
There are things you'll never touch
But I'm sure you've heard every chord
That has ever been played for
You and that keeps you
Keeps you searching for
Searching for more

Birdy
03:44
|
|||
|
How do you know
Where to go
When there's no
Path to show
I have noticed
Where you're going
Isn't far from
Where you have been
You want to be free
As a birdy
I see real nice trees
But you won't land with me
Just passing through
It's written all over you
Nothing I can do
But watch the path you choose
If you knew
What you'd lose
Would it change
The way you choose
I'd like to be
In a movie
Where it makes sense
By the ending
You want to be free
As a birdy
I see real nice trees
But you won't land with me
Just passing through
It's written all over you
Nothing I can do
But watch the path you choose

Your Love
01:57
|
|||
|
Your love, your love
Surrounds me
Your love, your love
Is out of reach
Your love, your love
I cannot keep
Your love, your love
Still follows me
I still can't see
Why it won't leave
I feel you love
In dreams
When I open my
Eyes I can't see
I still can't see
Why it won't leave

Sleepwalking
03:49
|
|||
|
I fell asleep for two whole months
And I dreamt I was in love
When I woke up it felt too soon
Should you spend your time on dreams
Even when they might not mean
Anything
Did you see me walking around
With my eyes closed snoring loud
And was I alone
Alone
In the morning when you wake
The feeling for a moment stays
And then goes away
Pretty soon you can't recall
How the feeling felt at all
Or who it belonged to
Did you see me walking around
With my eyes closed snoring loud
And was I alone

Get Along
01:30
|
|||
|
I get along with you
You get along with me
So why is it that I can't get along alone
I get a long way's off
You get a long way's away
So why is it that I can't get along here if I stay
Get along alone, can't get along alone

Trees in Lines
01:21
|
|||
|
Trees in lines and the signs are easy here to ignore
Pay no mind to the kind of stories you've heard before
No black flies can change my mind that it's more than a detour
I'm happy blind, happy to find only things that I adore
When our time's up, I promise I won't stay in linger
Just kindly point me to the door

After the Fair
01:56
|
|||
|
After the fair
Leaves the county haunted
By summer plans left plans
Prizes left wanted
Same old drifts in
How it always happens
Cold on the wind
The ending begins
What's left of the grounds
Swept up and gone
No lost and found
Weekdays march on
Same old drifts in
How it always happens
Cold on the wind
The ending begins

Leaves
03:30

|
Harmony
Send it to me
I'm the bee
Without a leash
Hypothetically
It could be so easy
To not need to
Have a key
To sing to
To be free
Underneath
The pile of leaves
On the side
Of the street
Where I go jumping
That's where there is something
Made me think of you
What used to be
I thought of
You and me
In the pile of leaves
There's a needle
Or a key
There must be more
Than what meets
The eye
There must be

Why Would You Want That
02:31
|
|||
|
Why would you want that
Why want anything you don't need
Why take something that you'll have to leave
Why invite that
That which leaves you wanting more
When you know what you had felt like enough before

Winter Count
01:54
|
|||
|
Snow falling with no sound
Stop me if you've heard this one before
Thirty times or more
When nothing seems easy
And not just to me
Why would it be
Another winter count
I think I'm running out
Of room
To tally every year
And wonder what I'm doing here
I still don't know

If there's something to know
And have something to show
Have something to show

Save It
02:56
|
|||
|
Save it
Old friend
There's no
Needing
For your feeling
So bad ever again
So long
To you
There's none
To do
Now my time
Is so long
And what was ours
Is all gone

Falling
01:55
|
|||
|
Feel like I'm falling through
Nothing to hold on to
Do you feel like you're falling too
Falling is fine for now
But I start to wonder how
Much longer I can fall
If there's a bottom at all
Where I come falling from
They say you'll hit rock bottom
But what if there isn't one
I could fall on and on
|

Know How
01:51
|
|||
|
Can you choose your lovers
Can you choose your friends
Can you choose where it begins
Or choose where it ends
Can you choose to lose it
Choose to let it go
I'm not all here, you're not all gone
Can't forget, can't hold on
Street signs don't tell you
Which way to go
No way of knowing
What you need to know
Trees don't want nothing
Life would not allow
Would they get up and walk way
If they knew how
I don't know how

Tattoo
02:04
|

|
If I never have one
Would it be so bad
Got no inspiration
I just never had none
Don't mean I don't want one
Don't mean I don't try
Just don't want to jump the gun
I don't wanna lie
If I were given one
I would not deny
If it were the right one
I would say alright
I'd say this one's right
For the rest of my time

Kings in the Corner
01:46
|

|
Kings in the corner and there's no way around
Tired of playing the only game in this town
I've been playing from behind and down
Trying to lose the only way that I've found
I've been running like a basset hound
When I'm running almost touching the ground
I'll be better when I'm not around
Trying to be a go-getter on a merry-go-round
Let my cat out and burn my house down
Sweep up the ashes into a hole in the ground
There's kings in the corner and queens in their crowns
And no way to win the only game in this town
Kings in the corner
Kings in the corner and there's no way around

Can't find the right
Right kind of light
To shine
On this life

Even Out
02:41
|
|||
|
I can hold
Conflicting
Ideas in my mind
And that is why I can't decide
I have been
That guy
They call indecisive
And that's why I don't judge
I believe
It'll even out
I believe it'll even out somehow
I don't like to take sides
Even when one's mine
I can see your right to see me wrong
Can't always have it
Both ways and that is
Where it starts
To break apart, tip the scales but
I believe
It'll even out
I believe it'll even out somehow
In my mind
I have no place to go
And I cannot hold you now
Long as I'm
Holding on to my narrow
Vision of how
