66 Knots
03:19
|
|||
Wide open air on the highway
Traffic is light and we’re far from home
No need for air on a Sunday
Heatwave is hot on our heels, I know
‘Cause we’re so far gone
Nothing but time on our hands
It’s no new song
No sense in making a plan
We still float on
Driving dusk till dawn
Just enough water for bailing
Crossing the ocean to find a home
Radio on and we’re sailing
Land on a saltwater beach to comb
‘Cause we’re so far gone
Nothing but time on our hands
It’s no new song
No sense in making a plan
We still float on
Driving dusk till dawn
Island bound and on a tear
Island bound and on a tear
66 knots in the air
So far gone
Nothing but time on our hands
It’s no new song
No sense in making a plan
We still float on
Driving dusk till dawn
Driving dusk till dawn
Driving dusk till dawn
Driving dusk till dawn

Reaction
03:09
|

Tread softly in the deep
This static’s killing me
Binary tragedy
Death of good company
And I mean no wrong when I tell you
You’re out of line but aw hell it’s true
Just one thing to do
You can sit all day
Go with the grain
But I need some action now
You can douse the flame
You can play the game
Give me a reaction now
I want sour over sweet
This lull is killing me
Contrary to the beat
Find me some company
And I mean no wrong when I tell you
Trade shoes and walk a long mile or two
Fix that attitude
You can sit all day
Go with the grain
But I need some action now
You can douse the flame
You can play the game
Give me a reaction now
You can sit all day
Go with the grain
But I need some action now
You can douse the flame
You can play the game
Give me a reaction now
So sit all day
Go with the grain
But I need some action now
You can douse the flame
You can play the game
Give me a reaction now

Sunny Ways
03:27
|

Living at the door to recovery
With an eye on the past and one foot in front of me
In the aftermath of your honesty
Where our paths cross and wind away from reality
So you remain
Under the blame
Tried to explain
But you refrain
‘Cause you know
That it falls back on you again
And the nature of my hypocrisy
Is that I strangely don’t want you to agree with me
There’s a comfort in the dichotomy
Where we all feel at home in our chosen family
So you remain
Under the blame
Tried to explain
But you refrain
‘Cause you know
That it falls back on you again
So you remain
Under the blame
Tried to explain
But you refrain
‘Cause you know
That it falls back on you again
Falls back on you again
It falls back on you again
Falls back on you again

The City
03:24
|
|||
Speeding ahead to slow down
Running the reds across town
Making my way
It’s that time of day
The rush hour heat will break you
And if you can’t escape through
The tangible screen
Of hot gasoline
The city will get you down
Memory take me now
The city will get you down
Memory take me now
Miles away it takes you
Struggle by day to stay true
Night come along
Erases the wrongs
You bustle about the subway
Streetcar is down for two days
Buses are full
I’m feeling the pull
The city will get you down
Memory take me now
The city will get you down
Memory take me now
The city will get you down
Memory take me now
The city will get you down
Memory take me now

Earthy Eyes
04:50
|
|||
Long long long time ago I took a sudden leap
Fell from the height and somehow landed on my feet
It’s time to see all I can be
Now that we’ve got all our lives to be free
So sing it out
We want to hear you now
You’ve got a voice, let’s hear it
You’ve got the soul, the spirit
So reign over me
My eyes of the sea
Crash waves on your shore
Like shields smash the sword
And there’s nothing you can say to change my ways
There’s nothing in the world will take my gaze
From earthy eyes
Straight from the other side get off your silver boat
White sails and overcoats and seashells from the coast
It’s fun to be free, now back home to me
Right where we are is where we’re meant to be
So sing it out
We want to hear you loud
You’ve got a voice, let’s hear it
You’ve got the soul, the spirit
In open space, you want it
But don’t take it, ‘cause you can
So reign over me
My eyes of the sea
Crash waves on your shore
Like shields smash the sword
And there’s nothing you can say to change my ways
There’s nothing in the world will take my gaze
From earthy eyes
Earthy eyes
Reign over me

Our Perfect
04:53
|
|||
Wretched souls combine
To find balance in time
If the scale tips one side
We never find our purpose
Though we try
Reaching for the light
With no ladder in sight
Still, we can hold tight
Even to scratch the surface
‘Cause once in every other crescent moon I’ll find the time to
Tangle up the words I mean to say to make a breakthrough
In overtime the sudden death of every single
Breath I’ve conjured up in confidence
Until we find our perfect
Once in every other crescent moon I’ll find the time to
Tangle up the words I mean to say to make a breakthrough
In overtime the sudden death of every single
Breath I’ve conjured up in confidence
Until we find our perfect
Perfect reason
To find my way home
Relapse, recount
And synthesize hope
Synthesize hope
Wretched souls combine
To find balance in time
If the scale tips one side
We never find our perfect
Perfect reason
To find my way home
Relapse, recount
And synthesize hope

Show Yourself to Me
02:52
|
|||
Every day I’m keeping my eye out
I’m keeping my eye out just for you
What do you look like, how are you walking
It’s some kind of riddle, just give me a clue
‘Cause I’m so into the deep end
Flapping my arms not catching a beat
Just give me a reason
‘Cause I’m settling into defeat
Show yourself to me
Show yourself to me
They tell me be patient, it’s perfectly simple
But simple is something I don’t understand
And my destination is only a dead end
With no better option than folding my hand
‘Cause I’m so into the deep end
Flapping my arms not catching a beat
Just give me a reason
‘Cause I’m settling into defeat
Show yourself to me
And then all the clouds part
Open up the sky
And out you walk
That perfect silver line
‘Cause I’m so into the deep end
Flapping my arms not catching a beat
Just give me a reason
‘Cause I’m settling into defeat
Show yourself to me
Just give me a reason
Show yourself to me
Just give me a reason

Did I Skip a Beat
03:28
|
|||
Saddle up, take a seat, pick up the telephone
Swallow hard, dial me, and know you’re all alone
Now you’re out on the town just like you own the place
Then get home, check the glass, and know it’s all in vain
You say you’re never gonna know for sure
But it’s not that easy
No, I’m not that bored
Well maybe I’m a little insecure
But it ain’t worth hanging
If you’re gonna close that door
So say it once, for all
Hey what’s it gonna be?
Batter up, take the hit and glove it down again
Fill the cup with the bitterness until the end
Now you’re out on the town, slipped on your poker face
Speed it up, take it off, and learn to keep the pace
You say you’re never gonna know for sure
But it’s not that easy
No I’m not that bored
Well maybe I’m a little insecure
But it ain’t worth hanging
If you’re gonna close that door
So say it once, for all
Well what’s it gonna be
Let’s go, speak quick, walk tall
Quit lying through your teeth
Or did I skip a beat
You say you’re never gonna know for sure
But it’s not that easy
No I’m not that bored
Well maybe I’m a little insecure
But it ain’t worth hanging
If you’re gonna close that door
So say it once, for all
Well what’s it gonna be
Let’s go, speak quick, walk tall
Quit lying through your teeth
Or did I skip a beat?

Endless Nights
03:28
|

Now I could show you what
And we could see the same
Cut the cord with neither side to blame
And you may tell me then
How it ought to be
Guided by the lies you fail to see
And it may comfort you
But it won’t help me
Soon you find
You came too close
Flying high
Feeling low
Staring up into the sky
At every star and hole
I feel as though I look into her soul
Now I can say for me
In all its wonder and size
Bitten by the wind in open skies
That the truth I see
Brings tears to my eyes
Soon you find
You came too close
Flying high
Feeling low
Soon you find
You came too close
Flying high
Feeling low
And endless night
Travel home
And watch the light
Burn down alone

Cherie
04:26
|

She worked weekends on the course
Making pennies before they were gone
Dreams to dance and own a horse
Though her parents say time to move on
Found a pretty respectable guy
With a pretty respectable job
But still there’s something more
Stay, Cherie
Though I’m out here on a limb
Wait, Listen
Don’t you go back home to him
Inland hometown of the west
The sunset draws kinks in the sky
Dares to prove wrong all the rest
And steal all the breath from their lies
Found a pretty respectable job
With pretty respectable pay
But there’s something at the core
Stay, Cherie
Though I’m out here on a limb
Wait, Listen
Don’t you go back home to him
Hey, Cherie
I can see it in your eyes
Wait, honey
You’re too sweet to say goodbye
Stay, Cherie
Though I’m out here on a limb
Wait, Listen
Don’t you go back home to him
Hey, Cherie
I can see it in your eyes
Wait, honey
You’re too sweet to say goodbye (Hey, Cherie)
You’re too sweet to say goodbye (Hey, Cherie)
Aw come with me babe (Hey, Cherie)
‘Cause you’re too sweet to say goodbye
