Interstate 76

I'll catch you on the west side
where the rivers meet
and the skyline sits at our feet
still as a model
not quite real
making a break for the sun
as shes going down
80 miles
when the small hand gets around
she'll be long gone when I get there
the city lights will do
the wind is rushing in
the musics blaring
I'm just floating
over to you
I'll see you soon
making a grab at the wind
as it's flying past
these things just never last
like the feather furls above me
burning out again

Coastline
03:15
|
|||
|
never gonna happen just like that again
but I can still catch that sound wave
swelling and shimmering
ride it right back to that coastline
where it's warm and cold
all at the same time
where those memories I left behind
come flooding back again
couldn't look at that house
the same way if I tried
searching through rooms for portals
long ago left behing
that I can take right back to that coastline
where it's warm and cool
all at the same time
where those memories I left behing
come flooding back again
have I grown too comfortable here
stuck in the rear view mirror
while the white dashes race on
never gonna happen just like that again
but I can still catch that sound wave
swelling and shimmering
ride it right back to that coastline
where it's warm and cool
all at the same time
where those memories I left behind
come flooding back again

Slip away
01:22
|
|||
|
wanted to take on the weight of the world
when I could barley hold my head up
always tried to keep a grip
on what I knew could only slip away
you can slip away
go ahead it's okay
I will meet you there
whenever I get myself together here
you can slip away
go ahead it's okay
I will meet you there

Marionette
02:41
|
|||
|
marionette sits
motionless in its case
all it can do is wait
for the hand of its fate
wrists bound
it screams out without moving its mouth
words on its lips
speak the in between
for those sown and strung out
by a figure unseen
marionette

Transition
00:50
|
|||
|
transition
take the settled sand
and stir it back in the water
hazy now
illegible
can't see around
now more than ever
transition
take the far sight
and give it back to the distance

Eyes like Flashlights
02:52
|
|||
|
there you were
eyes like flashlights shining through
shadows of my casting
and I'll say
could you just lay your head down
sleep it off
could you just swing your pack on my back
and I'll take the load off
there you were
eyes like x-rays seeing through
barriers of my building
and I'll say
could I just lay my head down
sleep it off
could I just swing my pack on your back
so you can take the load off of me
just couldn't take the weight
so I just shrug it off on you
there you were
eyes like flashlights shining through
shadows of my casting
and I'll say
could you just lay your head down
sleep it off
could you just swing your pack on my back
and I'll take the load off

Open Doorways
02:57
|
|||
|
stumbling through open doorways
I met you and your stop motion charm
building up behind heavy eyelids
whispering through
summer breeze
you found me
well I got forty a week to give
so I will see you everyday
just waiting for night to fall
on my head again
letting my plans just
slip away

As the Time Drives By
02:49
|
|||
|
the river runs through
it's breaking up
spreading its branches
in every direction
over the ground
the streets run
and they're breaking up
into the cul d sacs
you put your house on
just like the other ones
a cell in a body
a leaf in a tall tree
a piece of the puzzle baby
its all the same
we just think ourselves new
and the time drives by
I watch it go
out the exit to
that childhood place
where you heard your memory speak
oh how everything changed
oh how hindsight overcame

Honeysuckle Season
00:51
|
|||
|
it's right around the time
when the air is sweet as honey
please take the bitter from my breath
and the weight from my chest

Can You
04:06
|
|||
|
can you store the heat in
for the days when the clouds block the sky
can you dig your feet in
and refuse the wind as it passes by
cause I need the sunshine
need the glimmer of life in my sky
and you've got the meadow
got the flower of the valley in your eyes
can you keep the sails straight
take the whole storm face to face
can you brave the mundane
for all the time that it takes
cause I need the sunshine
need the glimmer of life in my sky
and you've got the meadow
got the flower of the valley in your eyes
