Oh, Lady Misdirection
Be still, for I’ve begun to pay attention
Miss Direction, where am I going to be
If I open my eyes and start to see?
Tightly bound, six feet off the ground, and somewhere in the distance is a sound
Nothing hurts, nothing’s real to me. I’ve locked myself inside and there’s no key
Far away, the wall starts to fade, and my Lady away, she takes my hand and says
“Don't leave until you've found somebody worth another day”
I said,
“I don’t believe there’s no such thing as love.
I hid until it found me, sure enough”
I’m calling Lady Misdirection’s bluff…
I’m sure that you’re the cure for waking up

Dear Sam
03:27

I feel so good, good, good
Gotta feelin, gotta feelin
And it’s been good before
But this is different, this is listening
To my gut this time…. I slept in my jeans last night!
There is no time, time, time
Like the present, got my friends and
We've got worlds to climb
I am sunburnt and you are thunder
on a silver spoon… He punched me a hole in the moon!
I could not sit still any longer if I had to
This town is all mine, gimme something I can dance to
(Never sing a sad tune!)
I feel so red hot, show me whatcha got
(I'm on the ceiling, I gotta feeling!)
Let's go bring to light the undiscovered
And only other people's vans break down
I will not sit still in this town
I will not come quietly, married to the office
I WISH I NEVER WENT TO COLLEGE
Nothing in the world is ever gonna change
Nothing in the world is ever gonna change
I have never stood so tall!
Nothing that they hurl is gonna make me fall
Nothing in the world is ever gonna change
Show me everything you've got
Bring the world up to my door and
Let 'em know they needn't knock
I am writing one last letter
Like I did before I learned to talk:
Dear Sam,
I'm alive again
It’s the first time when the world don't spin as fast as did before
Try your best not to cry, don't expect me to write
I have found my peace of mind, Dear Sam

By My Side
03:35
|
|||
|
The cards are on the table
There’s nothing I can do
To make this any less painful
There are boys and there are men
And I'm the worst of them.
Just for now, I'm gonna let you down
Count on me, we’re all about to see
If I can swim or if I drown
And if I drown tonight, alright
I am what I'll be
So what do you see?
It feels so sweet
What I've got next to me
There’s nothing in the world I'd trade for
Half the one my friends and I have made
Sing me, sweet melody
Follow me to the end of the earth tonight
Stay by my side
Nothing counts if it’s not from the heart
Not a single thing!
Nothing’s ever been that didn’t start
And who can say the same?
We’ve everything to gain
Nail me to the wall until I'm vacant
Nail me to the wall until I'm void and drying
I'm never letting go until we make it
I'm never letting go of you
Keep your eyes in mine
Stay by my side

One more world disappears in static
I'm just another hopeless addict
All that makes a man instill
If the drums don't get you, the guitars will
Let the walls rattle till they fall
Shake the earth until the landlord calls
My ears ring all day my voice rings all night
This is what my heart sounds like
Wake the dead, come up and raise your head
Make a noise that they cannot forget
Gather up your soul, slam it into the mic
This is what my heart sounds like tonight
I don’t have any free space in my apartment
It’s small and I’m broke ‘cuz the band’s where my heart is
Broken arms and cheap tuxedos
I left my heart at El Pueblito’s
Ink rains on drink stains
The pens hear every word I say
My brain's the walls; the floor
And I'd tell 'em more
Listen:
Let’s go to the nice side of town, how fast can you get ready?
Let’s dress like we have jobs and find some place to eat
That we could never afford, and make fun of the rich people there
These songs get stuck in my head, they get locked in my skull ‘cuz
I need ‘em to beat my heart to the pulse of
This place isn’t cheap, but there’s free chips and salsa

Campfire Season
02:38
|
|||
|
I've got things I'm stressed about
But I've got time to work 'em out tomorrow
I'm burning up inside my brain
But it's campfire season anyway, tomorrow
Been saving up my good times
Been saving up my good times
I’m overdue for tonight
There’s no pick-me-up like
Circles of good friends around a fire
Yes I'm sure, I've seen the finish line before
Let's stay, I've got things to do but those can wait
It's time,I've more than earned my piece of mind
Well be just fine, let's live until we die
I wish I could sail away from all of this
I'm not far enough from home
I take what I can spend but God is not an ATM
Aches like this, I won’t come back if I’ve an ache like this
I’m not far enough from home
I take what I can spend but God is not an ATM

You're Changing
00:40
|
|||
|
Dear Sam, you’re changing
I’m writing this song and I’m watching as you’re rearranging
You read every word I wrote until the letters turned to paintings
The ears are always different, Sam, and I tell ‘em all the same thing
Am I still growing up, or am I aging?

Red And Blue

"I need you to follow me"
I glanced around the room
When was the last I laid eyes on you?
She said, "I need you to follow me, there's been an emergency"
She explained, I listened
To every word she said, and none of it made sense
Her words are like the rain; they spare me no expense
She explained, I listened
I looked down at my feet and watched them carry me
Her words are like the rain; the lights are everything I see
Where am I and where are you?
Lonely, high is the moon
But I'm cold and red and blue
If there's nothing more I can do
Everything I've to lose
Goes straight to red and blue
Oh, come find me now! This is no place to be alone
Oh, come find me now! I need you here, and I know I’m alone
She explained, but I’m not listening
The room is full of ghosts, they’ve got me in their hold
And if they never let go, I’m never going home
Lemme go, you’re not listening
I told you I was well, I said I don’t need help
Her words are like the rain, the sound, the ringing of a bell
Where am I and where are you?
Lonely, high is the moon
But I'm cold and red and blue
If there's nothing more I can do
Everything I've to lose
Goes straight to red and blue
Round and round and round
The Earth spins just as fast as ever now
Round and round and round
I’m just a blur, you’re just above the ground

If I'm Honest
03:17
|
|||
|
I'm stuck, I cannot move
There is nothing more I can do
I am frozen here in my shoes
I'm all out of plans
I'm a dead man
I'm stuck
I've been lying to myself
I'm the same as everyone else
If I'm honest, if I'm over playing dumb
I will run
I will try to make some sense
I won’t come to this to vent
I've been running from my heart
And I've been pulling myself clean apart
I'm past the point of no return
When will I learn
If I'll be running from my heart
Until I've pulled what's left of me apart
Do stops like me deserve a second start?
I’m stuck

Home is where your van is
And Joplin’s where I landed
I don’t believe in luck
But it’s a good place to be stranded

A Song About Love
03:28
|
|||
|
It’s personal: The rise, the fall, the best, it all, the worst
It hurts and all. The distance home, my friends, the road, the gift, the curse
I’m sad because the things I love aren’t close enough at all
It’s bad enough… no matter what, I’m stuck against the wall
This is a song about love, nothing like what you see in the movies
Time and time, over and over
I keep coming home so I don’t feel so alone
You search and search and search but you won’t find it
You scream until it hurts but it’s too late
Don’t you shut your eyes until you’re blinded
The will’s right there if we can find the way
Remember when we stayed up all night dreaming
And we made no time for sleeping at the end?
The moon and stars were bright, but ours were brighter
And if we liked ‘em we could fly there arm in arm
Don’t wake up yet, don’t open up your eyes
And miss what’s just on the horizon ahead
I’m tired of this, but I’m not done with it quite yet
And I won’t let myself forget who I am
This is a song about love, nothing like what you see in the movies
There’s no escaping, and I know maybe I should go back home
So I don’t feel so alone
You search and search and search but you won’t find it
You scream until it hurts but it’s too late
Don’t you shut your eyes until you’re blinded
The will’s right there if we can find the way
I’m tired of this
But I’m not done with it

Restless
02:08
|
|||
|
Oh, Lady Misdirection, what I said?
Slippery words escaping from my head
Miss Direction, I found the one you told me to
And danced with him 'till we turned red and blue
Bind me tightly, you were right, he is not there and I am scared
And I am restless, I have met this with my eyes closed, and I suppose
That its over now, it's colder, lights and sounds winding down
I am restless, I am left with where to hide inside my own mind?
Miss Direction, pay attention
I want back in your dimension
Perfect are the worlds
The fine print failed to mention
Safe place
Feel the bed become my face
and Lady Misdirection pulls the trigger;
Starts the race

Tomorrow
03:44
|
|||
|
If there’s still time
As long as I’m still here alive
I'll find a light, I’ll live ‘till I die
If you could cross your heart
That you won't let me fall apart
I’ll stay right here, I’ll be right where you are
A shadow’s cast
But even darkness too will pass
The sun will shine out the clearer at last
The world is dark and cold, but never over
I fight for time and try to just survive
It hurts to know it will
The earth will not be still
And even still, tomorrow I'm alive
I may never write another song again
And I'm alone tonight, I'm throwing away the pen
If this is the last song, let's sing it ‘till the end
I won't say I'm never scared
But I'm still cool if you're still there
