One Dream
04:35
|
|||
|
White clouds over the water
Some drops aren't in the sea
I'm sure they love being higher
Smiling down on me
One moment shallow, effortless
The next it's past your chest
No reason to rest or to celebrate
I'll soon be a castaway
I've gotta wake up from my slumber
And see that I'm living the dream
No, what they tell me won't force me under
If I keep my head up I can breathe
One moment shallow, effortless
The next it's past your chest
I guess I'll take just one day
Hope it won't make me a castaway

Too Close for Comfort
03:57
|
|||
|
You tell me someday soon
On a fairytale afternoon
"We'll come together"
As if we'd never been apart since the start
Of this new life's adventure
We'll dance beneath a blue sky
But I don't know how long I'll wait for it
(Am I waiting? How long am I waiting for?)
I'm not young forever
(I'm not young forever, there's a whole world to explore)
And if we want our moment
Until then we can't get
Too close for comfort
We won't recover
And what will I do
When you bring along someone new
To love in the meantime?
"Will I still be the first in line?"
No I won't die
Sighing from the sidelines
Our perfect day is turning gray
And I can't say that I'll wait for it
Am I waiting? How long am I waiting for?
Can I get through to you?
(Can I get through to you with a closing door?)
Ohh, if you want this moment
Until then please don't get
Too close for comfort
We won't recover, no my lover
No, we won't recover

Stage Fright
04:56
|
|||
|
Wanna win every time I find you near me
It's like my luck dried up and now I'm a little weary
Time comes to sing my song but something's gone wrong
How to cure the stage fright, oh I can never decide
(A small weight gets heavy when effort is unending)
What's it take for you and I to be we?
I don't know how much to try, so tell me what would you like?
You're the one I desire but I can't get it right
To save my life
And I may know every line but why should it mean you'll hear me
I take a step into light but then disappear completely
Time comes to sing my song but something's gone wrong
How do I cure the stage fright, oh I can never decide
Well but maybe tonight we can both be surprised
You're the one I desire, but I can't get it right
To save my life
You're the one I desire, but I can't get it right
To save my life

Wayfare
04:12
|
|||
|
I've been traveling long as I remember
I'm tired of believing somehow I am clever enough
To eventually be seated in a gilded chair
Celebrating that at last I've made it somewhere
On this Wayfare
The years grow shorter as I live them more, though
I can't order bliss and joy to stay, and they go
To a place I've yet to see is out there
Could I ever reach it on this Wayfare?
/
Where'll you go? I know you'll make it far on your own
Where'll you be when you travel long without me?

Thirteen
03:07
|

|
Not much, not too little
Not fast, not too slow
Still I'm trying to solve a riddle
So I keep it simple
Your face still won't show
But I'm bound to clear the smoke
Trust my intuition
Unlearn all I know
Still I'm running round in circles
Zoom out till I focus
I go it all alone
But I'm bound to crack the code
Show me the way
Where you lead's where I'll stay
You know the spring's here today and gone tomorrow
I don't need a say
So just take it away
I pray you make it an easy path to follow
I can't toe the line
If I can't quite find it
You run but you can't hide
Soon I'll end the silence
If you show me the way
Where you lead's where I'll stay
You know I think we could make it last forever
But if you're too afraid
To put it all on display
I'll quit the craze and forget it altogether

About Timing
06:04
|
|||
|
I can't understand it no matter how hard I try
You live on your own planet and I've been along for the ride
If I'm being quite candid we were far from the finish line
So why'd it change in one minute?
"I can't explain, it's a dangerous game" and I won't play it
If I can never win
Oh how can this be reality?
It's all so obscured, clearly
Lately Saturn is my enemy
It's always about timing
So what's left to be abandoned?
There's no part of me to find
It's such a short trip from king to stranded
So no more will I let this *subject* rule my mind
(It's the last time)
It always ends in catastrophe
Disguised as a silver lining
And lately Saturn is my enemy
Time after time he's timing
/ [Saturn]
Oh how can this be reality?
It's all so obscured, clearly
We know it's always about timing
It's always about timing
/
Better late and free
Than chained down and timely
Best to stay on my own two feet

Rise / Float Away
04:52
|
|||
|
How could I be made to think
That light and free's not far from simple and easy,
When all that can be seen
In the wait for victory
Is prowling, pacing, pleading to find a feeling
That can't be?
/
I've never given, can't receive
Like I'm lost at sea and none can reach me
I've never given, can't receive
Like I'm lost at sea and none can reach me
What if I come back from here?
What if I find my way?
What if I live to tell some tale of how I'm here today?
What if I'm empty?
Or out of control?
What if I'm lost here?
What ever happens to hope?
I watch it rise like the ocean
Watch it rise like the ocean
And float away
Float away, away
Even if it looks like it's here to stay
I watch it rise like the ocean
Watch it rise like the ocean
And float away
Float away, away

Send Away the Rains
03:07
|
|||
|
Well, lessons take a little while
Longer to learn these days
Still a dreamer, not a sage
How long till I act my age
All I wanted was to see a smile
Stretching across your face
What a reckless dream to chase
Guess I couldn't glean my own anyways
It's the steepest price to pay
Both betrayer and betrayed
Cause darling, I couldn't send the rains away
/
It's the steepest price to pay
Both betrayer and betrayed
And darling, you couldn't send the rains away
Couldn't send away the rains
Couldn't send away the rains
Couldn't send away the rains

The Tides
04:42
|

|
[Stillness]
So I guess again I can't make it match the plan
I've come up short but not like this before
Wanted the river but this is the sea
Watched as I fell in the deep
Can't trust me
(Notice the tides when they're over
Cause you'll miss the highs when you're older)
Saw the moon up in the sky like a passerby
Too soon for it to fly but it's gone in one night
And through it all I used to never pay any mind
If only I knew it was the thing controlling the tides
I'd have taken my time through the morning
And loved the light I saw before me
And never lived a day ignoring
The waters are all mine for exploring
