Why's it gotta be so hard to see,
Everything that we could be?
Overshadowed by the distance
Nothing's realer to me than you
Why's it gotta be so hard to talk?
Yeah, why's it gotta be so hard to communicate?
Speakers speak and lovers love
Nothing's realer to me than you
Do I whisper in your ear?
Is that how you'd wanna hear,
That I'm looking for your name?
When I find it, I'll sing
I'm singin' for you
I'm cryin' for you too
When did something come from nothing?
How'd it all fall down so fast?
Is there something I should do?
Nothing's realer to me than you
Do I whisper in your ear?
Is that how you'd wanna hear,
That I'm looking for your name?
When I find it, I'll sing
I'm singin' for you
I'm cryin' for you too

Silver Morn
02:23
|
|||
|
I'm gonna be the same
Regardless of the name
Illinois or Minnesota
No one entity can legally
Prescribe any more to my self
Oh, I gave up my dream for you
That one, sweet silver morn
Oh, I gave up my dream for you
But I wouldn't have it any other way
There's something in the air
About which I can't care
'Cause I am just a little person
And when all is well, we'll look back and say
"Gee that didn't matter any way"
Oh, it's gonna be fine someday
We'll wake up on that silver morn
Oh, it's gonna be fine someday
'Cause we wouldn't have it any other way
Yes you were a dream
But I know everything
That makes you take your time
And I could insist, but no man should
I guess, I'll keep on singing to my self
Oh, it's gonna be good someday
We'll wake up on that silver morn
Oh, it's gonna be good someday
'Cause we wouldn't have it any other way

Barely Living
03:14
|
|||
|
When I left we spoke the same language
Now that I am gone things are different
I'm sayin' words and phrases
That you don't understand
Still I'm holdin' on I'm barely living
Listen up right now, my darling
I've got all the answers to your questions
But I'm too scared
To make them true
Still I'm holdin' on I'm barely living
I am tired
I am weary
Of this game
We are playing
Empty places
Empty faces
Different spaces
Different places
but I'm too scared
To say that to you
Still I'm holdin' on I'm barely living
What are all these thoughts inside my head?
And how am I the only one who's asking?
What if I
Never know?
Still I'm holdin' on I'm barely living
I'm barely living

Gone
02:04
|
|||
|
I was gone when the sky lit up
I was gone when the tape ran out
I was gone
gone
I was gone when I heard that song
I was gone when she said goodbye
I was gone
gone
But now it seems, I've got no choice
Tracking down empty voices
I can't see
Looking back, over my shoulder
A mountain that's never been colder
I can't see
Maybe I should drive 'til dawn
But then you'd still be gone
Sitting on my front lawn
I could already hear this song
Bein' gone isn't half as bad
As bein' gone just because I'm sad
Maybe I should drive 'til dawn
But then you'd still be gone
I'll be gone when the sun goes down
I'll be gone behind a cloud
I'll be gone
gone
I'll be gone with an untied shoe
I'll be gone without you
I'll be gone
But now it seems, I've got no choice
Tracking down empty voices
I can't see
Looking back, over my shoulder
A mountain that's never been colder
I can't see
Maybe I should drive 'til dawn
But then you'd still be gone
Sitting on my front lawn
I could already hear this song
Bein' gone isn't half as bad
As bein' gone just because I'm sad
Maybe I should drive 'til dawn
But then you'd still be gone
I'll be gone when the sun goes down
I'll be gone behind a cloud
I'll be gone
gone

Come Around
01:57
|
|||
|
Once you come around
There's no coming back
Once you come around
There's no coming back
And you'll make the most beautiful art
And you'll sing the most beautiful songs
Once you come around
There's no coming back
Once you come around
There's no coming back
Once you come around
There's no coming back
Once you come around
You're safe where you are
If you hear a tale
The tale has a tail end
If you hear a tale
There's no end in sight
Once you come around
There's no coming back

It Takes Time
02:09
|
|||
|
I could live like this forever
I could make a name for myself
I could be the only one to wonder why
'cause there's stories from long, long ago
That don't mean anything
So I take my time and try to say what's important
It takes time
It takes time
It takes time
To see what's important
I could sing like this forever
I could wear out my lungs
My lips could fall right off
And I would not mind it
It takes time
It takes time
It takes time
To see what's important
I could live like this forever
I could make a name for myself
I could be the only one to wonder why
It takes time
It takes time
It takes time
To see what's important

Never Die
03:18
|
|||
|
You and I will never die
In our hearts we cannot lie
You and I will never die
In our hearts we cannot lie
I can write a song for you
There is nothing you can do
Doesn't matter where you are
Music finds you this I know
You and I will never die
In our hearts we cannot lie
You and I will never die
In our hearts we cannot lie

Undeniably Lost
02:18
|
|||
|
I don't often lose my way
I walk with confidence
Always watching always waiting
For something to do
Something to do with me
But I'm
Undeniably lost
Yes I'm
Undeniably lost
I thought I had it figured out
I had the map to you
Everything has its' place
Never moving along
But I'm
Undeniably lost
Yes I'm
Undeniably lost

Spinning
00:57
|
|||
|
Spinning
Seems so hard to fall
When you're spinning
You're in control
Spinning
Seems so hard to stop
Spinning
Spinning

A Piece of Us
03:48
|
|||
|
Where I'm going
You cannot come
In the sea you cannot swim
When I sing you'll still
Hear the words
Melodies unclear
Don't fall asleep
I'll wait for you
And it's only in my mind
When we're not so far away
And they'll take a piece of us
But not all we have
I'm playing this song for you
In the hopes that you will hear what I mean
And when I sing these words
Will comfort you
Where are you going,
When I leave?
Let me know if you get a chance
Was it God or
Was it you?
Who made up your mind
Don't go that way
I'll wait for you to come back home
And it's only in my mind
When we're not so far away
And they'll take a piece of us
But not all we have
And it's only in my mind
When we're not so far away
And they'll take a piece of us
But not all we have

Wasting Time
01:16
|
|||
|
I can't say
How I feel today
But I'm thinking about you
I don't know what I'll do today
But I'll be thinking about you
I'm wasting my time
I'm wasting my time
I'm wasting my time
I'm wasting my time
I'm biding my time
I'm biding my time
