nocturnal emotions
03:06
|
|||
i left the porch light on
just in case, you show up late
i left the door unlocked
just turn the knob, i know you don't have the key
you probably forgot it
in the same place as your wedding ring
oh
when are you gonna make up your mind
serve me the papers
and leave me behind
leave me behind
cooked some dinner for you
on the table, if you're still hungry
you can eat it while you watch the tv
the remote control, where is it
you probably forgot it
in the same place as your wedding ring

i don't want to see you
03:22
|
|||
i've been sleeping
at 3 in the morning
thinking of ways
to make sense of
life as i know it
and wrestling with
the future and what it means
for everyone i love
am i gonna see you fuck up
over and over again
so if you don't mind
i will take flight
i will leave you
i will take my own journey
i packed my bags
emptied the closet
left my keys at the table
change the locks if you're able
so you can be sure i won't come back
i have more dignity than that
i don't wanna see you fuck up
over and over again
i don't wanna be a witness
to someone else's failed experiments
i don't wanna be a witness
to your failures
i don't wanna see you fuck up
over and over again

blindfold
03:25
|
|||
he shook me down like a chandelier
he turned around so cavalier
breezed past through me with so much fear
freezing like glaciers melting through the years
can't see his face, it's hidden from me
i miss the confidence and your memory
who'd wish for the same thing to begin
when things start and end in so much sin
read the last love letter you wrote to her
my tears tore through it, glued it back together
you don't have to worry, nothing is destroyed
your love remains pure and true like a choice
the slam of the door still stings like a bee
you left the room faster than i can see
cracked my life open then walked on shells
just to stick me in my own private hells
can't see your face it's hidden from me
i miss your confidence and your memory
i wish for the same thing to begin
for us to start and end in so much sin
i can start to believe in love again
i can breathe life and imagine it
i guess i can start to kiss the wind
blindfold the past and run away from it

fear the lonely

fear the lonely
fear the sadness
creeps up on me
creeps up on all of us
unsee the picture
draw another
smile until you
last a moment longer
fear the lonely
fear the sadness
don't lie to me
i see the worry in you
you cast the curtain
hide uncertain
please reveal it
i'll help you carry
and then you will see
fear the lonely
fear the sadness
it's a reaper
just goes deeper
fear the lonely
fear the sadness
just release it
it will become you
or do you want it
because it embraces
it envelopes you
in its coldness
you're left breathless
fear the lonely
fear the sadness
creeps up on me
creeps up on all of us
unsee the picture
draw another
smile until you
last a moment longer
last a moment longer

survive
03:27
|
|||
when i met you
you were making noises
in the front yard
fixing your motorcycle
your eyes
they focused on mine
you help me out
you try to save me
you make love to me
i give you some numbers
to scare you out my life
but are you gonna be something else
i have to survive
coz to tell you the truth
i'm not up to it
you kiss my mouth
forehead to forehead
hold my chin up
wear my crown
recite my speech
when i won
when i was
on top of the world
you help me out
you try to save me
you make love to me
but are you gonna be something else
i have to survive
coz to tell you the truth
i'm not up to it

see you in court
03:11
|
|||
i'm the night
you're a morning person
i entered the wrong union
now your hand is always closing
i have to wait
two hours for you to open
would that mean
my name is your name
would that mean
you'll always be the same
there's nothing i want
to take to the afterlife
the other side
has no use for blame
there's nothing i need
to carry with me when i die
the other side
has no use for this game
would that mean
my name is your name
would that mean
you'll always be the same

crucifix
03:10
|
|||
i see your footprints
in the sand beside me
i see them
getting farther apart
i sense
you're just getting taller
or maybe
you're just flying
but lately i'm feeling
that you're just on my shoulders
are you a crucifix
am i your jesus
you're my judas
you're my doubting thomas
always treated me like a fraud
always made me seem like i'm lying
to the whole universe
i'm the one true thing in your life
and lately i'm feeling
that you're just on my shoulders
are you a crucifix
am i your jesus

art of losing
02:41
|
|||
once you were a stranger
now, i'm in danger
of losing you
of losing further
once you were a stranger
now, i'm in over
my head to think
i can survive it
the art of losing is hard to master
the art of saying goodbye is not for the weak of heart
the art of losing is hard to master
the art of saying goodbye is not for the weak of heart
once you made love to me
once you made me see
the point of living
the point of keeping on
once you made me step down
from the ledge and walk away from the edge
of darkness, the edge of the end
the art of losing is hard to master
the art of saying goodbye is not for the weak of heart
the art of losing is hard to master
the art of saying goodbye is not for the weak of heart

phoenix
03:19
|

She has made a decision
She has made it her mission
To protect her children
To keep them far away from him
So in the night of the big storm
With her husband sleeping
Collapsed from all the drinking
She drove away with the young ones
She has sandwiches ready
Handed the kids their breakfast
All of this without stopping
To take one bite of her own
Her eyes dryer than deserts
Determined for destination
Several states between them
And the monster inside him
She never felt those bruises
They fell away like the dishes
It's not picking the pieces
It's rebuilding from ashes
She's a phoenix that rises

independence day
02:47
|
|||
i went to the bank
took up a loan
buying a fridge
a home of my own
replacing a pipe
painting my room
walls into white
flowers to bloom
independence day
now what can you say
i am not the same
i'm moving on with my life
independence day
now what can you say
i am not the same
i'm moving on with my life
i went to the store
a carton of milk
sliced bread and eggs
men stared at my legs
and i wasn't scared
that you would find out
was openly flirting
with some open mouths
independence day
now what can you say
i am not the same
i'm moving on with my life
independence day
now what can you say
i am not the same
i'm moving on with my life
