We Work In Circles
I begged you to quit drinkin', put the damn bottle down. And the last time I went lookin', there was evidence to be found. Well, I thought that the moon glowed for us when we were together, And I thought the stars shine for me and mine, Oh, but the wind chimed in just in time, And I know you're gonna be fine, but I hate to leave you behind. And you knew the snow was comin' before you came into town, And you knew that you were runnin' before your feet hit the ground. Well, I thought that the moon glowed for us when we were together, And I thought the stars shine for me and mine, Oh, but the wind chimed in just in time, And I know you're gonna be fine, but I hate to leave you behind. And we don't have to work in circles just 'cause everything else does! So when you quit drinkin', and you put that bottle down, Oh, look me up! It's possible that I may be around, Oh, and just because you've lost me, it doesn't mean you can't be found! We don't have to work in circles just 'cause everything else does. Milky Way
Milky Way: as intimidating as the shadow of the earth on the moon. And you can jump and flail your arms around, do cartwheels barely touch the ground, it's when you look up and see that the shadow stays still, You realize you're smaller than an ant on an anthill. Milky Way: I've been thoughtful; I've been dumb; I've felt like such a tiny crumb on a giant plate of question cake that could very easily escape into the trash. But what would my mother think of that? Milky Way: Crabs in a barrel, they pull each other down. They're a lot like the people of my former hometown. The world is your oyster, your soul is your pearl. Make me a tree with my roots planted down, with my branches lifted upward, make me hard like a church. Milky Way: Blink your eye; this all goes by; before it's over, you will know your way. Sparkling Water: Picture all the sand rushing through your hand See how the waves crash to the land Up above the water we can see the blue and green Figure out a way to make a plan Remember all the time that we can create whatever life that we want to when we believe Oh I love you so what I should do is try to be the best me There's a place for us in a love we can trust and that sets us free Remember all the time that we made a vow Where do all the promises go now Who am I without you who are you without me Peel up all the paint reveal the floor Far beneath the surface there is more Take another sip of sparkling water with me Oh I love you so what I should do is try to be the best me There's a place for us in a love we can trust and that sets us free to fly and continue to try to find what we know to be true Picture all the sand rushing through your hand See how the waves crash to the land Take another sip of sparkling water with me |
It's Gonna Be A Good One
The day is done and long gone is the sun. Around the corner... along comes another one, But have you done all the things you said you'd done, you should have done by now? And how I hope to everything I know that this is gonna be a good one. It's gonna be a good one. It's gotta be a good one. It has gotta be a good one, The best one yet to come. Got my sights on the horizon. Another footstep... Another set of footsteps comes along, And my song: sung. Another verse to try to sing the things I should have sung by now. And how I hope to everything I know that this is gonna be a good one. It's gonna be a good one. It's gotta be a good one. It has gotta be a good one, The best one yet to come. It’s an anniversary of so much more than just one thing It’s the memories of where we've been and what they mean It’s the joy and the laughter And starting the next chapter...

Saying Nothing
You say nothing You say nothing at all. Keep in touch, we'll always keep in touch, til it hurts too much. So I came to, and I told you the truth. They were right; For me you would not fight...not at all. And you say nothing You say nothing at all. Our time has passed us by I guess at last And maybe I will never see you ever again in this lifetime. And you say nothing. You say nothing. How is that fair? It's not very nice. It hurts being wrong. It's worse being right. I Really Don't Know
I might make the painting that hangs in my home, and I might like it quiet, and I might like alone. You just don't know. You really don't know much about me at all. I am just an Aunt, I am nobody's mother. When you're given the choice, it's one or the other, and I just don't know. I really don't know much about it at all. I owe much of who I am to a good-hearted man. He's seen me through some phases you would not believe, and loving him is all I can do after all that we've been through, because the road is long, and we make each other strong. I will probably change again much sooner than I would like to pretend that I will. I just don't know. I really don't know much about what's comin' at all. Til I'm Home: It don't hurt til I'm home, no It don't hurt til I'm home When I pick up my phone To call no one at all And the writing on the wall This is all too much to bear And what is home If you're not there Your eyes are sparkling as you laugh across the room You got me wondering who you have got laughin with you You catch my gaze as night fades and I can't help but see that sparkle dim just a little when you set your eyes on me And it don't hurt til I'm home When I pick up my phone to call no one at all And the writing on the wall This is all too much to bear what is home if you're not there We have seen each other through the darkest of our days You taught me how to love myself 100,000 different ways I see you strong and full of possibility and I see your life unfold without me And it don't hurt til I'm home Only Got One: Put your nose to the grindstone,toe up to the line, son Show me what you got Get your head out of the clouds, it's time to come down Show me what you want We're runnin out of time and we're runnin out of dimes I only got one I'm gonna use it on a ticket and god, I hope I win it Wouldn't that be fun I'd like to know what I am working with I'd like to know where I'm going, what I'm doing, and how I'm gonna get it done Cause I only get one You didn't wanna do it, why'd you come through, then, why'd you wait so long Lookin into the horizon what you set your sights on, put it in a song The years are going by, I just gotta try, before it's said and done, I'd like to know what I am working with I'd like to know where I'm goin, what I am doing, and how I'm gonna get it done Show me what I'm working with! I'd like to know where I'm going, what I'm doin, and how I'm gonna get it done Cause we only get one life to try to do what we want Only one life, we gotta try to not f*ck it up |
I Can Feel It
Six years ago, we set out into the cold, and we had nowhere to hide our fear And when we stepped out, there were people all around, and they had nothing to dry our tears. And when I remember that day, Oh, I can feel it, I can feel it. When I remember that day, oh I can feel it I can feel it. Sitting on your steps, we talked about what to do next, it wasn't clear, we didn't know Lightening in the sky, bloodshot weathered stormy eyes, we headed home, we were not sure where to go. And when I remember that day, Oh, I can feel it, I can feel it. When I remember that day, oh I can feel it I can feel it. And sometimes I would swear I see you everywhere I go Yeah, sometimes I would swear I see you everywhere I go You looked me in the eye as we were waving our goodbyes, We knew it then, all we'd need to know. Life would carry on, the birds would sing their mourning songs for us to hear And to follow. And when I remember that day, oh I can feel it, I can feel it. When I remember that day, oh I can feel it, I can feel it Don't Lie Don't lie to me This is not who you want to be Set yourself free Let it roll off of your tongue Tell me what you did wrong I can see Don't lie to me Well, we've been together for what seems like forever When it's good, baby it's good But now that I have found out that you may be running around it is all I can do to breathe Don't lie to me, honey This is not who you want to be, set yourself free Let it roll off of your tongue tell me what you did wrong, I can see Tell me was her hair much softer were her eyelashes longer did she put a spell on you Were her lips so lazy when she whispered 'baby, no one's lookin" Don't lie to me Baby I know the truth I know too much about you I know the look in your eye at night And we both know that it's wrong we've been runnin for too long we should let it be Don't lie to me This is not who you want to be Set yourself free Let it roll off of your tongue Tell me what you did wrong I can see Same Thing: Am I alone here Can't seem to find nobody home, dear The last time that I checked The math was correct The numbers were clear Am I in some kind of a zone here One where the sky is falling like tears I can't seem to reason hope It's like the telescope is narrowed to what's very near But we all want the same thing Are we divided by the man, here I ain't decided but to be clear There's nothing that we can see as simple as it may seem They'd like us to believe They're working hard for you and me, dear They're slaving all day long to sling fear Want to be inside your head Want to be inside your bed They want to pull the strings, dear We all want the same thing I wanna see the eye of the storm Wanna keep my family warm We all want the same thing Radio on Low: I got the radio on low I got no other place to go The way that we grow depends on what we've been fed I need you to know You give me good loving I like to tell you that I love you, and I like to hear you say you love me too And I like the way that it feels just knowing that you are near, 'cause it feels good: your loving And I won't ask you to stop what you're doing I will not put up a fight I'm just asking you baby, please come home to me ASAP Because I need your loving and I want it But when will the time be right I can't wait another night I try to be patient, try to be kind but baby I want ya tonight |
