Back Home

This day has washed my face
Its dried me out
Left me disgraced
This way of doing things over
has drained my senses and left me sober
But oh, you showed up
with a subtle sense of love
today you came and showed me
what it was like to grow
Oh, I just want to get back home
Oh, I just want to get back home
As I look out at the world
I discovered things aren't so well
All the loving sense of what was
has drained into a central cove
and the day you stayed
kept my sanity at bay
the way you help me now
has helped me to work things out
Oh, I just want to get back home
Oh, I just want to get back home

Running (On a Thin Wire)
05:03
|

|
reach out to me on a thin wire
lift up your arms and cover the sky
I don't want to say a word tonight
just put it in ignition and drive
Plot the points of my life
see where I've gone
We never asked to live for long
In the meantime, I'll keep on
and I'm hanging on
now I'm almost there
but I'm sinking in
and I'm grasping air
now I'm gnashing teeth,
Now we're underneath
and I'm losing ground
Running a thin line
well my mind was set, but my balance went
and I'm desperate
I followed a line to
the thought of you
I followed a line to
the heart of the century
Can't you see my eyes?
I'm treading a thin line
Can't you see my eyes?
I'm treading a thin line
well my mind was set, but my balance went
and I'm desperate

Water

Don't you know there's one direction
We all flow on down the stream
If You dont want the indecision
let the intention flush you clean
Where are you going she said
I'm gonna find where I started
we all started out in the river
we're all afraid to tread water
Let it sweep you away
to where you've never been
the things we fail to say
the times we've spent away
You said you weren't for the long time yeah
I should have left you on the shore
she said When I feel it coming up and over my head
I reach out for just anyone
Where are you going she said
I'm gonna find where I started
we all started out in the river
we're all afraid to tread water
Don't you know there's one direction
We all flow on down the stream
If You dont want the indecision
let the intention flush you clean
We've been together for a long time, yeah
but there's a place for everyone
Well I'm jumping ship, 'cause I don't wanna deal with any more of your-
unpredicted storms

For a Later Date

When you looked it over, you saw another one
When you went back and tried to undo what went wrong...
You will see me going.

Honesty
02:57
|

Facing that rising sun
it burns my face and it burns my eyes
and through the rising dust;
we only do what we shouldn't
my only memory
is of that day I broke your trust
and now all I can see
Is what I thought it was supposed to be
"But I didn't understand you
and all I ever thought about was me
and now I don't know what to do-"
Shielding my eyes from the midday sun
as my burns all turn to scars
all I do is run, run run
from this thing we call honesty
(unintelligible)
It burns my eyes and it burns my lust
and through this romantic air
the light is something we can share
Yeah reggae!
also hi mom, hi dad, thanks for coming

Save the Rain

When your life has finally dreamed
Ill hold a promise to your need
The will you thought was true is fake
And life with innocence is too great
Breezes hit your pretty face
Im only asking for a break
Making history at a time
Hoping life wont pass us by
Ohh, but in the summer we will be
I don’t know your name
And if the winter sings me
You wont be the same
Different changes occur now
Feeble attempts from the crowd
Holding my word captive, oh my
Thinking I wouldn’t really mind
Teetering on the last brink
My love it is too soon to think
Only scars remain today
Forget everything you say
Ohh, but in the summer we will be
I don’t know your name
And if the winter sings me
You wont be the same
Life cant remember
Too soon till December
Thinking of a time
When you couldn’t die
Ohh, but in the summer we will be
I don’t know your name
And if the winter sings me
You wont be the same

Pass Through Town
05:17
|

|
Its a one way street
Its a pass-through town
don't stop through here
It ain't worth your life
People get caught up
and try to pass the time
well you're worth much more
so don't waste your life
So please just move ahead
I swear I'll follow when I can
I would leave a world behind this way
There's a greater price to be paid
If I stay
So what's a lie to a false love
what's better left unsaid
What's an ideal too worn to defend
Too quiet for such strange times
You feel it in the air;
anticipation's worse than the threat
What's a fire to a cold heart
it strays far from their hands
this kind of spark
could light the souls of men

Memory Etiquette
04:47
|

|
Lies just like knives
Show me the real you
Under these curtains you call sanity
Tried to tell me things would be alright
Before I knew your name
I could be there
I could be there
Notes that you wrote me
Drilled into my skull
Try to figure them, I did not
They burned and blistered in the summer air
Before I knew their name
I could be there
I could be there

Jetstream

Staring up into the sky
And these fuchsia and auburn clouds
Watching them trickle down
As I act much too proud
-
But I cannot go and leave them here
I cannot go because they are so dear
I cannot go, so much is not clear
But my conscience just won’t let me go
-
I can’t help but feel like I lie
When I say that I truly try
And I recognize my true sin
As that of being paper thin
-
But I won’t go and leave you here
I won’t go and leave you, dear
I won’t go and leave you now
I just need to understand the how
-
I won’t brood, no not today
Though the day feels so grey
That is something that I cannot do to you
That’s one thing I will not allow
-
So I will go and leave it here
I will go and leave us dear
I will go and leave there
I just have to let go
-
I know it’s not right
Not tonight
Not even if I try with all my might
And this friendship on which we stand
Is slowly sinking into the sand
-
So I will say
Oh, it is all so dear
Oh, it is all so clear
Oh, that is all I have to say
