1. _ (It's A) Departure
|
2. _ Honest
She loves the singer, every song can bring her close to tears
But when she talks about his band it just confirms her mother's fears
A little crush on the singer but in her heart she knows it's true
Everything is different when he's singing right to you
Her mother says honest, it's alright to be a singer
But don't you love a singer whatever you do
Let the crowd press on the stage
And let the lights wash out their eyes
Sixteen years ago I was completely mesmerized
And then the night was done and the singer disappeared behind the stage
And the roadies came and picked me out from on the barricade
Honest, it's alright to be a singer
But don't you love a singer whatever you do, whatever you do
I wouldn't change for a moment my life or my ideals
But once I loved a singer and I know just how you feel
For him to say so plainly what your heart can vouch is true
Means something is connecting you, something is connecting you
Honest, it's alright to be a singer
But don't you love a singer whatever you do, whatever you do
Don't you love a singer
Don't you love a singer

3. _ Clouds
Tower likes to fall and cream likes to spoil
Everything living tries to get back to the soil
And what seems right and what's made for you
False prophecy doesn't mean prophecies are true
The ground is so proud just to hold us up
We're a kiss away from being dangerous
Kiss me and show me that it's true
You're depressed about a thing you don't really want to do
Don't try to write your name in the clouds from the ground
Don't try to write your name in the clouds from the ground
Final cloud architects with GPS
Staple-gun carpenters building a 3D mess
We protest, but it doesn't work again
You're magic beans mean at least you'll have one giant friend
The ground is so proud just to hold us up
We're a kiss away from being dangerous
Kiss me and show me that it's true
You're depressed about a thing you don't really want to do
Don't try to write your name in the clouds from the ground
Don't try to write your name in the clouds from the ground

4. _ Teaspoon
I know I wasn't made to play on a team
You weighed your suitcase down but it still wouldn't sink
I know that crime doesn't pay
But I don't know any other way
the way that she smiles me down
She claims to be clowning
I finally long for someone
Teaspoon
two can just bleed into one
But only one does the bleeding
She calls me the alphabet gun
Teaspoon
I know I wasn't made to play on a team
You weighed your suitcase down but it still wouldn't sink
I know that crime doesn't pay
But I don't know any other way
She orders the pilot to land
She just wants to hold the man
Well I am her pilot today
Teaspoon

5. _ Seven
Your new haircut is so unfamiliar
But they only know you that way
Your new teases are so hilarious
Well I never thought I'd hear you say
That I did the driving and the falling knives
Seemed anything was worth a try
You never said it but I think I get it
And maybe you were right
That I miss you Seven
I miss you Seven
Did you see me the way I imagined
Every eyelash a picket or a wire
Did you tease me when I went out of fashion
And your interest in me had expired
Well I stopped
But how can I really stop
And stay stopped?
I miss you Seven
(The distance helps me only so much)
Is it asking too much
Would you say that I
Am the last thing you want
To remember me by
I miss you Seven
(The distance helps me only so much)

6. _ Sky Is Open
Little airports keep in mind
They got file folders and dry-erase boards
I retired from the air force
Long enough ago to know
The sky is open
I call the tower and draw the line
I'm flying, yes I'm climbing
A better pilot couldn't find
Even so, even I can only fly so high
The sky is open
In the war I flew the islands
I knew the quiet, it's pilot science
My propeller tries to find the air
I'm finally the highest bird
The sky is open
|
7. _ Pushover
Fight, we couldn't try
I'd love an answer,
That isn't sly,
Or so, so you say
Don't toast the day
For the twilight
For you I'm a, Pushover
I would, if I could, I would
I just want you to say
Come on, wish me luck
Wish me luck
Unkind, girlish walk
Like a deep to the world
Without the talk
As you wade through the crowd
I sit next to you
The seats still warm
For you I'm a, Pushover
I would, if I could, I would
I just want you to say
Come on, wish me luck
Wish me luck
For you I'm a, Pushover
I would, if I could, I would
I just want you to say
Come on, wish me luck
Wish me luck
I just want you to say
Come on
I just want you to say
Come on
I just want you to say
Come on
I just want you to say
Come on

8. _ Rich Wife
I don't know why I bring you around
When you you star tout so dry
And then decide to be quiet
Like an angry shout
When you consider yourself
And you do consider yourself
Well give me something that you like
If there's something you're so proud about
You're in love with someone
You're gonna love 'til it's done
You're in love with someone you don't like
You should have been a rich wife
Now tell me is your high horse
Getting a little hard to ride?
And your little bit on the side
Getting harder to find?
When you get restless at night
But it's too late to start
And there's nothing left to eat in this house but your heart
You should have been a rich wife
I don't know why I bring you around
Just to dis the art and look the part
But there's a bit you're leaving out
And you keep it all to yourself
But it's not the wine that brings a crowd
And the crowd is not much help
But you see the clouds and put your signal out
And then count the notches on your belt
You're in love with someone
You're gonna love 'til it's done
You're in love with someone you don't like
You should have been a rich wife
It was the good life

9. _ Fire Island, AK
Here's how I found out
A man called my house
He asked me what I knew
They found my letter
And I don't have to wonder
No I don't have to wonder
So I don't have to wonder
Did it reach you? Did it reach you?
Good morning Fire Island
I'm not sure who to ask
They said wait until tomorrow
They found my letter
And I don't have to wonder
So I don't have to wonder
No I don't have to wonder
Did it reach you? Did it reach you?
Cinders in the garden
From the cars parked on the lawn
They're tracking up the carpet
They found my letter
And I don't have to wonder
No I don't have to wonder
So I don't have to wonder
Did it reach you? Did it reach you?
You've got to start the car the ice has come

10. _ Hindsight
Did you say what you wanted said?
And now you're just putting the days to bed
Young actors want to play and play
And you'll play, but you're working
Call applicants and stole cornering them
We're all waiting for the big day
If you feel crazy that you're still crazy
It hasn't happened for a few days
Well just wait
In hindsight you're gonna wish you were here
You keep scratching at the old paint
But the wood is still there
And the room is still there
If you're trying to feel the wind
Well that's a window you're pressed against
You never told me your secrets
So I guess they stayed safe with me
Tall orders from such small shoulders
And invitations on blue paper
But I'm bailing water and bailing water
'Cause I like the shape of the boat
You asked me and I told you
And you asked me and I told you and I told you
In hindsight you're gonna wish you were here
You keep scratching at the old paint
But the wood is still there
And the room is still there
If you're my anchor then I'm throwing you over the side
Before I have the time to say
I never wanted anyone this way
But I'm smoking cigarettes when no one else does
And if I hold you now will I be holding a snowball
When the season changes and I'm craving the sun?
Are you still training for the big race
By hoping the runners will die?
Churning the words of your disgrace
But it's how you are when you're down that counts
And you know we're a good thing
It's been a long time since you said
Put down your camera and let me ask you
Is this new move just to keep moving?
In hindsight you're gonna wish you were here
You keep scratching at the old paint
But the wood is still there
And the room is still there
If I kiss you now like sun streaming in a tavern's door
Would you wonder what I'm kissing you for?

11. _ Ultimatum
Student why do you dream of me
When you dream of your acre of trees
It was agreed
I came to burn leaves
It's all I ever claimed to do
A plow man I'll never grow into
My arms miss you
My hands miss you
The stars sing
I've got this song in my head
Oh
Blue in the broad light of day
Your claws are snagged on my face
Say it, I wish we were naked and
I wish that I could take it
When you turn on me
My arms miss you
My hands miss you
The stars sing
I've got this song in my head
Oh I don't want my words twisted
I don't want you to listen too closely
Or wait for me impatiently
And I hope that I can keep seeing you
As long you as you don't say you're falling in love
Crave translates into slave
No one can harness the rain
And I can make myself into rain
You'll feel me on your cheek
And on your sleeve
My arms miss you
My hands miss you
The stars sing
I've got this song in my head
Oh I don't want my words twisted
I don't want you to listen too closely
Or wait for me impatiently
And I hope I can keep seeing you
As long as you don't say you're falling in love
But I can feel you about to forget
Yes I can feel you about to forget
