THE STARS ABOVE
03:15
|

oh, the setting sun
telling me
there’s nowhere you have to be
only where you are
and nothing here to do
only you
and the setting sun
all the stars above
shining me the way
and all too clever to say
that we’re nowhere now
is this where you want to be?
can’t you see
ALL THE STARS ABOVE

ALL THE RED LIGHTS
03:23
|
|||
some days I think that I might
start getting everything right
I take a drive downtown
and I hit all the red lights
sometimes I think about back then
not that I wish it was when
sometimes just miss my old friends
and wonder what’s happening with them
if it wasn’t for that face
could have left this place long ago
don’t know why I’m here
when I hit all the red lights
I don’t’ know
where we go from here
time may slow
when we know we’re near
I watch the cars roll by
strange how they all keep to themselves
it makes me wonder why
we’re all off to someplace else
those days I think I just might
start getting everything right
take a drive downtown
I hit ALL THE RED LIGHTS

KEEP WHAT'S MINE
04:35
|

there is a room inside your heart
it’s empty & it’s aching, shaking, windows blown apart
it’s been like this from the start.
oh & the key hanging around your neck
it holds all of your secrets, I do suspect
and though I wonder sometimes what we may find
you should keep what’s yours
I’ll keep what’s mine
there is a wilderness in there
lost in the mountains, in the sea, lost in your eyes somewhere
there’s those things you don’t share.
I thought I knew but now I know
these are things we’ll always be, the things we never let go.
yeah you think you’re sharp, think you’re wise
well, you should keep what’s yours
I’ll keep what’s mine
there are no simple twists of fate
only the deep blue of distance to contemplate:
how did we get here so late?
do you ever think about regret
when regret is just the thing we’ve not learned from yet?
yeah, you think you’re right, it takes some time
well, you should keep what’s yours
I’ll keep what’s mine
do you ever count the stars above
and late at night, by their light, read from the Book of Love?
what do you dream of?
I wish I may, I wish I might
keep close the very things that would fade from sight
like the look in your eye when you said you’re fine
you should keep what’s yours
I’ll KEEP WHAT’S MINE

EMPTY SPACES
04:35
|
|||
clouds on the horizon
sun, it’s still rising
between the empty spaces
through all the empty spaces
when you open your mind
and all you feel is doubt
only leaving traces
between the empty spaces
I don’t need the reminders
I know where to find them
look where they used to face us
there’s only
EMPTY SPACES

I USED TO MAKE FRIENDS
03:45
|
|||
I used to play games
I used to relax
I USED TO MAKE FRIENDS
and they still got my back
I used to make time
that gets harder to do as it gets later and
I never been good with names
you’re no exception, but
I used to make friends
so what’s if it’s me
so what if it’s me and so what if I care
that the phone never rings,
that there’s nobody there I know
when I go out
I wonder that means
am I too old for this scene
should I be making other plans
when I used to make friends
I used to be curious
until i got wise
I used to be serious
all of the time
and I don’t know when
but things just slowed down and
I used to be patient
until it took all my time
looking for ways
to try and unwind
when at the end of the day
there’s not much more left to say
when you’re so fucking tired…
yeah, I’m so fucking tired

WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I
03:01
|
|||
am I gonna give up before I try
am I gonna wake up one day wondering why
I keep on asking myself ‘what do you know?’
I never like the answer, so I just let it go
tell me, tell me, what’ there to say
when the look in your eye only gives it away
oh, what kind of fool am i?
always looking up to the sky
the breeze through the trees and the wind blowing by
asking why?
what kind of fool am i?
would I be a better man if I had known
am I such a bad one for all I’ve been shown
looking back now, not so long ago
thought I might get it right
I was so wrong…
tell me, tell me, what’s there to know
when your heart’s got your mind, and it won’t let it go
what kind of fool am i?
hoping, waiting, everyday
that the answer’s so simple that it can’t hide away
for me but
WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I?

THINGS WE SHOULD LET GO
02:49

she remembers a month full of Mondays
she sings of Saturdays
she tells me all she wants is sunny Sundays
what’s the sense in always waiting
what’s the sense in ‘I don’t know’
seems to me there are these things we should hold on to,
THESE THINGS WE SHOULD LET GO

WAITING (ON A SIGN)
04:10
|
|||
sometimes I think
I waste all of my time
waiting on a sign
I don’t want your
I don’t need your
all I want is
never mind
don’t you think it’s wise
to dot all of your i’s
when you’re waiting on a sign
somethings you get right
on the very first try
tired of just WAITING…ON A SIGN

SOMETIMES
03:25
|

SOMETIMES
I’m waiting
but I don’t know why
‘til I
taste it on my tongue
not what is but what is yet to become
tell me your name and I’ll tell you mine
is this what you were hoping to find
I don’t know
I don’t know
I know that it’s on your mind
all of the promises that we will make
all of the wishes that we will take
and I hope I
I hope I
I hope that you prove me wrong
could I
whisper in your ear
what I came here to say
some nights
I toss and I turn
never learn what it is my dreams have to say
