Lines On Your Eyes

He sees her run away
He starts to follow but his feet are chained down to the ground
Make no mistake my friend, you’ll be free again, free again
She wanders down the road
She stops to gently pull a flower petal from a stem.
Thorns all around her but she’ll be free again, free again
The moon is bright tonight, it leaves lines on your eyes
Yeah, not a cloud in the sky, to keep those lines from your eyes
He puts his arms behind his head and tries to relax
He lays down in the grass
He’s now beside himself, he’ll be free again, free again
The moon is bright tonight, it leaves lines on your eyes
Yeah, not a cloud in the sky, to keep those lines from your eyes
She closes doors to empty rooms, still wonders what’s inside
She never let ‘em see her cry
She’s trapped inside herself, she’ll be free again, free again
The moon is bright tonight, it leaves lines on your eyes
Yeah, not a cloud in the sky, to keep those lines from your eyes
The moon is bright tonight, it leaves lines on your eyes
Yeah, not a cloud in the sky, to keep those lines from your eyes

Come Around
02:42

It makes me tired, waiting for whatever
Practice patience in the grand design
I try to have a conversation
But I lost my voice, and then I lost my shine
I’m not too old to play the game
You may think I don’t look the same
But before the day fades
You’ll see me come around
It’s not easy finding things to put together
You rush ahead, feeling left behind
I hear my basic fundamental
Ringing out of tune, and almost out of time
I’m not too old to play the game
You may think I don’t look the same
But before the day fades
You’ll see me come around
Try and see, the shapes of things to come
I concentrate but I strain my eyes
I’ve lost my depth perception
Everything is shallow, and I can’t read the signs
I’m not too old to play the game
You may think I don’t look the same
But before the day fades
You’ll see me come around

Falling Down
04:11

Falling down, the light hits the ground
Ya see what's going down, ya run away and hide
Over there, a lock of her hair
Remember how you cared, remember how she cried
Run to the sea
Roll down the window and sigh
Inside there's nothing left to fear, in all that you denied
Come follow me
Falling down, it's all over town
Ya try to play it down, but she took you for a ride
Running scared, look everywhere
Whispers in the air, that it's you who lied
Run to the sea
Roll down the window and sigh
Inside there's nothing left to fear, in all that you denied
Come follow me
Falling down, and I hit the ground
Looking kinda down, yeah you hurt your pride
By the stairs, a casual affair
More than you dared, now was it worth a try?
Run to the sea
Roll down the window and sigh
Inside there's nothing left to fear, in all that you denied
Come follow me

Thanks Anyway
03:04

I never asked you why
You never said goodbye
It really got me thinking
It got me thinking ‘bout the future
Remembering the past and how I knew it would never last
And all the time
You left me hanging on the line
I’m so sorry that I waste your time
Was it someone else
Or something ‘bout myself
I tried to call you one night, I tried to call
But you were gone, so instead I wrote this song about our disconnection
And all the time
You left me hanging on the line
I’m so sorry that I waste your time
Thanks anyway
And all the time
You left me hanging on the line
I’m so sorry that I waste your time
Thanks anyway
Thanks anyway
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if we had stayed together
But everything still comes out wrong
Still see you around
On the road, here in town
It really gets me thinking
Gets me thinking bout the day you left
Left me all alone, my hand still on the phone
And all the time
You left me hanging on the line
I’m so sorry that I waste your time

The Sands of Redondo
04:35
|
|||
|
Tried to swim out, the waves crashing over me
The sky so full of clouds, I couldn’t scream out loud
Struggled in, to the laughter of my friends
Caught my breath, and missed another death
A secret spot, where I was caught, telling lies, and saying my goodbyes
Growing up on the edge of the water
When you’re too cold to feel, the pain it isn’t real
Stayed out too long, pretending I was strong
And now I’ll never leave, but I just want to breathe
A secret spot, where I was caught, telling lies, and saying my goodbyes
I was yearning for the sands of Redondo
While out there on the rocky shore
Sunny days and the promise of tomorrow
Can’t recognize them anymore
Hold me down, over my head
Out on the other side, I guess I could have died
Felt the spray, from the flip side of the wave
I’m out here all alone, trying to make it on my own
A secret spot, where I was caught, telling lies, and saying my goodbyes
I was yearning for the sands of Redondo
While out there on the rocky shore
Sunny days and the promise of tomorrow
Can’t recognize them anymore

Fade Away
03:29
|

|
Tried to find you, waited for you
In the wrong place, sorry I spaced
Make it up to you, the least that I can do
Tomorrow will be better
Tomorrow will be better
Got your voicemail, from a jail cell
Tried to find you, already made bail
Make it up to you, the least that I can do
Tomorrow will be better
Tomorrow will be better than what's left of today
Pass me by, let today just fade away
Pass me by, just fade away
Tried to find you, waited for you
In the wrong place, sorry I spaced
Make it up to you, the least that I can do
Tomorrow will be better
Tomorrow will be better than what's left of today
Pass me by, let today just fade away
Pass me by, just fade away
I fade away (repeat, fade)

Always Tomorrow
02:37

Early morning, she's not sleeping
Dawnlight breaks the bitter night
Kiss goodbye and now I'm leaving
Don't cry baby it's alright
Wait, now
There's always tomorrow
Spring turns into the summertime
Wait, now
It won't be much longer
Every day our love grows stronger
Late at night I long to touch her
Like the stars caress the sky
Very soon we'll be together
Oh my baby don't you cry
Wait, now
There's always tomorrow
Spring turns into the summertime
Wait, now
It won't be much longer
Every day our love grows stronger
La, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la
La, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la
La, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la
La la, la la, ohhh...
Wait, now
There's always tomorrow
Spring turns into the summertime
Wait, now
It won't be much longer
Every day our love grows stronger
Oh oh oh, oh, ohhhh...

You're Like a Cloud
03:35
|
|||
|
Hey you, wrapped in a blanket of solitude
Alone but never being lonely, just trying to get through
You know I've seen it all before, the shades of gray before you float away
When you come with me, you're just a mystery
You're my enigma, you're like a cloud
Hey you, where do you think you're going to?
Always leaving when the sun goes down, or when the sky turns blue
Welcome to my mind, the vapor trails that clutter up the sky
When you come with me, you're just a mystery
You're my enigma, you're like a cloud, you're like a cloud
Hey you, this is a song I wrote for you
A familiar silhouette to see, mirror shadow looks like me
Everything is what it seems, just another dream
When you come with me, you're just a mystery
You're my enigma, you're like a cloud, you're like a cloud,
You're like a cloud, you're like a cloud

Waiting for This
06:51
|

|
The spaces between us give us room to reach each other
Listen now I’ll whisper secrets and look into your eyes
And miles down the road, you’ll see into my soul
I’ve been waiting for this...
Come walk beside me so that I might know you better
The nighttime gets a little deeper when I hold you near
And somewhere far away, will be your yesterdays
I’ve been waiting for this...
So find a place with me where we can be together
No one will ever know what happens when we’re all alone
And that’s when you will see, what it really means to me
I’ve been waiting for this...
