Better than watching Gellar
Bending silver spoons
Better than witnessing
Newborn nebulas in bloom
She who sees from up
High smiles and surely sings
Perspective pries her once
Weighty eyes and
It gives you wings
I haven't felt the way
I feel today
In so long its hard
For me to specify
I'm beginning to notice
How much this feels like
A waking limb
Pins and needles
Nice to know you
Goodbye
Nice to know you
Deeper than the deepest
Coustou would ever go
Higher than the heights of what
We often think we know
Oppressed that she who clearly
Sees the wealth of the trees
To obtain a bird's eye is to
Turn a blizzard to a breeze
I haven't felt the way
I feel today
In so long its hard
For me to specify
I'm beginning to notice
How much this feels like
A waking limb
Pins and needles
Nice to know you
Goodbye
Nice to know you
To know...you
Could it be that it had
Been there all along
I haven't felt the way
I feel today
In so long its hard
For me to specify
I'm beginning to notice
How much this feels like
A waking limb
Pins and needles
Nice to know you
Goodbye
Nice to know you
To know
You
2. Circles
You saw me lost in treading water
I looked pathetic and
As helpless as a stinger
Without a bee
But underneath my presentation
Yeah
I knew the walls were coming down
And the stones that fell were
Aiming away from me
Hey what would it mean to you?
To know that it'll
Come back around again
Hey whatever it means to you
Know that everything
Moves in circles
I saw you standing in
My headlights
Blink blink blink
I thought I'd run you down
For the weight you left on me
But then I pressed rewind
Reversed and drove away
And see you
Disappear in my rearview
Brought to me the word
Reciprocity
Hey what would it mean to you?
To know that it'll
Come back around again
Hey whatever it means to you
Know that everything
Moves in circles
Round and round we go
We could know
It'd end so well
We fall on and we fall off
Existential carousel
Spin
Hey what would it mean to you?
To know that it'll
Come back around again
Hey whatever it means to you
Know that everything
Moves in circles
Everything moves in circles
Round and round and
Round and round and
Round and round and
Round and round
3. Wish you were here
I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like
A thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment
I am happy, happy
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
Here
I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles
A backlit canopy
With holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs
I signal them with
My lighter
And in this moment
I am happy, happy
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
Here
Wish you were here
I, oh
The world's a rollercoaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
While my hands are
Busy in the air
Saying
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
Here
Wish you were here
4. Just a phase
I am bottled fizzy water
And you were shaking me up
You are a fingernail running
Down the chalkboard I thought
I left in third grade
Now my only consolation
Is that this could not last forever
Even though you're
Singing and thinking how well
You've got it made
Who are you?
And will you be through
Yeah, it's just a phase
It will be over soon
Yeah, it's just a phase
Yeah, it's just a phase
Call it women's intuition
But I think I'm
Onto something here
Temporaryism has been
The black plague
And the Jesus of our age
I know that
I sound opinionated
May be biased and
Quite possibly jaded
But sooner than later
They'll be throwing quarters
At you on the stage
Who are you?
And will you be through
Yeah, it's just a phase
It will be over soon
Yeah, it's just a phase
Yeah, it's just a phase
And I am waiting for
It to be over too
5. 11 a.m.
7 am
The garbage truck
Beeps as it backs up
And I start my day thinking about
What I've thrown away
Could I push rewind?
All the credits strewn
In signifying the end
But I missed the best part
Could we please go back
To the start?
Forgive my indecision
Then again, then again, then again
You're always first when
No one's on your side
Then again, then again, then again
The day will come when
I want off that ride
11 am
By now you would think
That I would be up
But my bedsheets shade
The heated choices I made
What did I find?
I never thought I could want
Someone so much
'Cause now you're not here
And I'm knee deep
In my own fear
Forgive my indecision
I am only a man
Then again, then again, then again
You're always first when
No one's on your side
Then again, then again, then again
The day will come when
I want off that ride
12 pm and my dusty telephone rings
I get up from my pillow
Could it be?
I hope its you
It's you, oh
Then again, then again, then again
You're always first when
No one's on your side
Then again, then again, then again
The day has come and
I want off that ride
6. Blood on the ground
I don't wanna talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time
You come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats
Blood on the ground
Hand over my heart I swear
I've tried everything I could
Within all my power
2 weeks and 1 hour
I slaved and now
I've got nothing to show
Oh if only you've grown
Taller than a brick wall
From now on
Gonna start holding my breath
When you
Come around and
You flex that fake grin
'Cause something inside me has
Said more than twice
That breathing this air
Beats breathing you at all
I don't wanna talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time
You come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats
Blood on the ground
Hand over my mouth
I'm earning the right
To my silence
In quiet discerning
Between ego and timing
Good judgment is once again
Proving to me
That it's still worth
Its weight in gold
From now on I'm gonna be
So much more weary
When you start to speak and
My warm blood starts to boil
Seeing you is like pulling teeth
And hearing your voice
Is like chewing tin foil
I don't wanna talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time
You come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats
Blood on the ground
I'm fast to a better judgment
By saying less today
I will gain more, gain more
No cheers to you my
My fickle friend
You, you brought
The art of silent war
I don't wanna talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time
You come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats
Blood on the ground
7. Mexico
You could see me reaching
So why couldn't you have
Met me halfway
You could see me bleeding
But you could not put
Pressure on the wound
You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You'd better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico
You could see me breathing
But you still kept
Your hand over my mouth
You could feel me seething
But you just turned
Your nose up in the air
You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You'd better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico
You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You'd better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico
8. Warning
Bat your eyes girl
Be otherworldly
Count your blessings
Seduce a stranger
What's so wrong
With being happy?
Kudos to those who
See through sickness
Yeah
Over and over
And over and over
She woke in the morning
She knew that her life
Had passed her by
She called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by
I suggest we
Learn to love ourselves
Before it's made illegal
When will we learn
When will we change
Just in time to see it
All come down
Those left standing
Will make millions
Writing books on ways
It should have been
She woke in the morning
She knew that her life
Had passed her by
She called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by
Floating in this cosmic Jacuzzi
We are like frogs oblivious
To the water starting to boil
Now I flinch and
We all float face down
She woke in the morning
She knew that her life
Had passed her by
She called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by
Pass you by
9. Echo
There's something about
The look in your eyes
Something I noticed when
The light was just right
It reminded me twice
That I was alive
And it reminded me that
You're so worth the fight
My biggest fear will be
The rescue of me
Strange how it turns out
That way, yeah
Could you show me dear?
Something I'm not seeing
Something infinitely interesting
Could you show me dear?
Something I'm not seeing
Something infinitely interesting
Theres something about
The way you move
I see your mouth in slow motion
When you sing
More subtle than something
Someone contrives
Your movements echo that
I have seen the real thing
Your biggest fear will be
The rescue of you
Strange how it turns out
That way, yeah
Could you show me dear?
Something I'm not seeing
Something infinitely interesting
Could you show me dear?
Something I'm not seeing
Something infinitely interesting
10. Have you ever
To get up and walk away
Will be too easy
So stay and stand your ground
Just watch your mouth with me
On the back of every right
There's a wrong looming
So here you and I
Should tread as soft
As these razorblades
For boots will it be
Have you ever tried
To step in my shoes?
Have you ever tried
To balance that beam?
And if you ever try
To fit in my shoes
They'll never be quite
As soft as they seem
Unabashed honesty
Would be ideal
But a prophet did once say
That honesty's our only word
So where do we go from here?
Abandon ship now
My problem is you made me melt
And I don't want
To be frozen anymore
Have you ever tried
To step in my shoes?
Have you ever tried
To balance that beam?
And if you ever try
To fit in my shoes
They'll never be quite
As soft as they seem
Ooh ooh no oh no
Have you ever
Have you ever tried to
I have never
I have never tried to
Have you ever tried
To step in my shoes?
Have you ever tried
To balance that beam?
And if you ever try
To fit in my shoes
They'll never be quite
As soft as they seem
11. Are you in
It's so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
It's so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
Ooh ooh
Are you in?
You ooh
Are you in?
It's so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
It's so much easier
When sea foam green
Is in fashion
You you, oh
Are you in?
You ooh ooh ooh
Are you in?
Are you are you are you
Are you are you are you
Are you are you are you
Are you are you are you
Are you are you are you
Are you are you are you
(Everybody everybody in)
(Ooh ooh ooh)
You ooh
Are you in?
You ooh
Ooh
12. Under my umbrella
When I close my eyes
I can see for miles
Theres comfort in my dark scene
And chaos in the isles
These eyes are not your eyes
And these eyes are not
The colour that
Could minimise my pain
Now I was not around
When those eyes of yours
Decided to
Never chose to kneel before
The sun could touch the sea
When I close my eyes
I remember why I smile
Under my umbrella
I've accomplished exile
These eyes are not your eyes
And these eyes are
Not the colour that
Could minimise my pain
Now I was not around
When those eyes of yours
Decided to
Never chose to kneel before
The sun could touch the sea
If this is right
I'd rather be wrong
If this is sight
I'd rather be blind
These eyes are not your eyes
And these eyes are
Not the colour that
Could minimise my pain
Now I was not around
When those eyes of yours
Decided to
Never chose to kneel before
The sun could touch the sea
If this is right
I'd rather be wrong
If this is sight
I'd rather be blind
13. Aqueous transmission
I'm floating down a river
Oars freed from
Their homes long ago
Lying face up on the floor
Of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
And feel my heart overflow
Further down the river
Two weeks without my lover
I'm in this boat alone
Floating down a river
Named emotion
Will I make it back to shore?
Or drift into the unknown
Further down the river
I'm building an antenna
Transmissions will be sent
When I am through
Maybe we can meet again
Further down the river
And share what
We both discovered
Then revel in the view
Further down the river
I'm floating down a river
