Growing Pains
04:15
|
|||
|
The first time I rode my bike
Sailed right through a traffic light
Head over heels, I watched the wheels give way
Twist and turn until the ground
Lost until I hear the sound
Of my father come and run to save the day
Growing pains, they hit me
Life goes by so quickly
Take my hand and never let me go
The first time I fell in love
The feeling fit me like a glove
Head over heels I watched the clouds give way
But cloudless skies make frozen nights
Hearts that break and frost that bites
I began to reminisce and miss the grey
Growing pains, they hit me
Life goes by so quickly
Take my hand and walk me through it slow
The first time I saw my life
Reflected in my mother's eyes
Young and afraid, I watched the world give way
To future bold and bright and blue
Full of things I learned from you
Love enough to make the books come true
Words to see me through it all
Trust that I'll know not to fall
And arms enough to catch me when I do
Growing pains, they hit me
Life goes by so quickly
Take my hand and walk me through it slow
Growing pains, they hit me
Life goes by so quickly
Take my hand and teach me all you know
Growing pains, they hit me
Life goes by so quickly
Take my hand and watch me as I go
The first time I rode my bike
Sailed right through a traffic light
I wouldn't have it any other way

Ozymandias

We built houses out of sand
Castles big and bold and grand
But blew them away
When morning came
You built
Stations and railways and trains
I longed
For far-off adventures and planes
Yet we stand by the coast
Packed a suitcase for a ghost
We can take off anytime you like
I buried secrets in the dunes
You sang a love song for the moon
Yet it sounded the same
When morning came
You built
Stations and railways and trains
We hid
Like matches in boxes and caves
Full of wine and yellow light
Passing ships in the night
I could take off anything you like
See you now, by the coast
The one who knows me most
I could come back anytime you like

Murder Song

I awoke to the feeling
That something had arrived
Watched the postman come and go
Like the flowing of the tide
Yes, I opened up your letter
On Thursday afternoon
I'd been dreaming up an answer
To the thing I asked of you
But your writing's full of spaces
Think you mean for me to find
Some wisdom in the silence
Lovers lost between the lines
Tried to forget about the letter
But it kept me up at night
Heard it calling from the drawing room
"Read by candle light"
So I took it to the attic
Held it underneath the flame
And caught a glimpse of something
Right where you'd signed your name
I saw a face illuminated
Its expression made me cry
For I looked right into your eyes
And knew this was goodbye
Yes a face illuminated
It almost made me cry
You have killed the thing you loved
And now you have to die

I'm not well
As you can tell
By the way I haven't look you in the eye
I'm about to lie and say I'm fine
But inside
You and I know that's not true
But it's either this
Or let my burdens weigh on you
And that I just can't do
So I'll choose for the both of us
And you'll just go along because
You've trusted me for no good reason
Here I am, committing treason
Force the last page of our story
One more boring allegory
Hope to god you'll rise above me
Always bite the hand that loves me
Mine, mine is the unkind, kindest cut of all
And I'll watch you fall
And I'm aware
That it's not fair
To bring you here then send you on your way
You had so much to say
And to ask
Like "why am I not cut out for the task?
Of loving you forever?
Of holding you and never wanting less?"
Well I can take a guess
See I could choose for the both of us
And you'd just go along because
You've trusted me for no good reason
Love no matter what the season
Force the last page of our story
You're my favourite allegory
Hope to god that you'll forgive me
My mistakes will long outlive me
Mine, mine is the unkind, kindest cut of all
And I'll watch you fall
And I don't know if this makes it any easier
Perhaps you'll find comfort when I say
You and I are nothing more than meteors
Never mean to live long past today
So I'll choose for the both of us
And you'll just go along because
You've trusted me against your judgement
You deserve someone who doesn't
Force the last page of your story
No more boring allegories
Hope to god you'll rise above me
Though you'll always be part of me
Mine, mine is the unkind, kindest cut of all
I'll you fall
Now watch me fall

Moon Man
03:58

I didn't plan it
Stole a ship and crash-landed
I was aiming for Venus
In the hopes she would teach us to love
But my calculations
Held a few wrong equations
Now the moon's on my doorstep
And I'm gazing at darkness above
It's so lonely out here
I can't quite explain
I'd come back to Earth
But I don't want the pain
The gravity of heartache's not something I'd miss
Here in the Sea of Tranquility, I could get used to this
But then I see you
And that spaceship starts calling my name
I made my decision
To take on the mission
I patched up that spaceship
Got packed up and ready to go
But the moon, she adores me
And she tells me her stories
Oh the dark can be kind
To a fragmented mind, and you know
It's so lonely out here
But I can pretend
There's nothing to fear
That the dark is a friend
The gravity of heartache's not something I've missed
Here in the Sea of Tranquility, I could get used to this
But then I see you
And that spaceship keeps calling my name
Name
Oh, you're thousands of lightyears away
But I promised I'd meet you some day
It's so lonely out here
I can't quite explain
I'm frightened of Earth
But I can handle the pain
The gravity of heartache is a small price to pay
For the warmth of your smile, for a sunrise in May
And now I see you
And my spaceship keeps calling your name

The Crows

You hold a piece of me
Close to your heart
You take it out dancing
You tear it apart
You dress it up pretty
You put on a show
Or call it a straw-man
And send for the crows
How strong do you think I am?
How much of the flood does it take to break the dam?
I trapped a piece of you
Here in my bones
When I walk through the places
That we used to know
I feel you resenting
The stories we told
The versions of us
We attempted to mould

The Garden

Come visit in the garden
On some sunny afternoon
Come find me in the flowers
Like you always used to do
Come disrupt our silence
This pact we softly made
To keep things how we left them
And leave other things unnamed
You've dusted off the old book
The one I dearly missed
You've come to read a chapter
The one we often skipped
I'll sit a while and listen
It's the civil thing to do
But love, I didn't need to read
The thing I always knew
You greet me with a kindness
But I can see it in your eyes
Your soul is new to heartache
Mine has been here many times
I want to wrap you up and tell you
Your pain is fully grown
That's not a lesson I can give you
You've got to learn it on your own
So I'll water my petunias
And send you on your way
We find strength in funny places
But once we do, it's here to stay
So come visit in the garden
When you've stopped picking at your wounds
My love, I think it's very clear
We've got some growing left to do

You left, early morning
With the rising of the sun
I've felt for a while now
That something's come undone
The trains go all night
Maybe you'll change your mind
And I'll carry you home
On my back
Leave the memory of the morning
On the tracks
Settle down
And relax
We'll rebuild the burning house
And hide the match
I know you're afraid
But honey I'm tired
Of living with gasoline
And a house on fire
It's midnight
There in Boston
And I'm waiting by the phone
I know I
Shouldn't miss you
But you made this house a home
The trains go all night
Giving you time to change your mind
Somebody loves us all
Somebody loves us all
Somebody loves us all
Somebody loves us all
