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
2.
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
3.
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
5.
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
6.
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?
7.
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
8.
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
9.
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
