Breathe

before there was you
there was no me
and i don't want the world to be wicked
just want them to feel like we do
 
like everything's groovin and we were all old friends
i know the day will come
 
breathe out breathe in
what you do comes back again
breathe out breathe in
cause what you do comes
 
treasures all around
and you can dig what you want to
but i don't want the world to be wicked
just want them to feel like we do


Drawing Circles

plant a seed inside your head and hope it grows a tree 
high enough to climb, climb until you're scared, 
until you fall away 

only to land on a cloud so soft, you fall right through 
back to the earth, back from where you came 
it's the nature of the world 

if you need me, you know where i'll be 
drawing circles 
if you need me, you know where i'll be 

thought i heard that someone said you can die and live again 
on and on you grow, always different eyes 
until you fall away 

you can only draw so long, you can only fall so low


Dreamboat

dreamboat why won't you float
gotta patch the hole i made with love
strayed from my path again
now i got to make ammends
 
what kind of fool am i 
to treat you the way i do
what kind of fool am i
treat you so bad
 
right now i know you'll run
but i'll see you when the day is done
convince you of my good intent
long enough to pay the rent


Don't Grow So

sitting up on your horse
nowhere to look but down of course
well you're not the king but you
sort of act like him

roam the countryside, boy
see the world for the both of us
i'll be waiting with a grin and a 
funnel to my ear

well the winter's come too fast
but the snow won't last forever
and you feel you're big at last
oh but you are just a feather
laying in the yard
on a sixth grade blade of grass
please don't you grow so fast

sitting there on the ground 
hoping the sky won't let you down

days out on the lawn you lay
just staring at the sky
amazed with all the wars you wage
between cloud men with stars for eyes
such questions you will ask to me 
well i don't even know the time


Do What I Like

the days go by and time it will fly
but i won't forget about you
and i won't forget what you did that day
 
if i held you in my hand
i'd do what i like to you
 
you look so kind but when they know your mind
they won't forget about you
and they won't forget what you did that day

they say that every dog has it's day
well here comes your day


Pennies for My Love

how do you feel my dear
alone and sad
but what can i do my love
i don't know but it sure feels bad
 
i want to give you everything 
but all i have is pennies for my love
 
look past my pride my dear
and i'll swallow your anger
after all these years we don't need to be strangers


Hitch A Ride

10 miles from town
and these ain't walking shoes
if you're coming my way
maybe you can bring me around

hitch a ride to town
take the day show me around

5 miles from town
still there's been no news
since you're coming my way
baby don't leave me down


Future Rides Us All

pushing people and their worlds around
all kings fall down
everyone is different in their own way
we change untamed
 
the future rides us all
 
beating people with the sights of sound
don't blink don't frown
now we all sit hearing what our eyes say
don't fear your ears
 
i can feel it yeah
creeping from behind
don't pass us by


Tired Ghost of Love

goodbye windows
i won't go where you don't go
hello sunshine
shield me from the jealous cold

waiting is something that you can learn

leave me where i fall
i want it all, i want it all
leave me where i fall
cause i want it all
but i still want you

turn back your mind
did i soak up your star time?
think back old times
do you see yourself with hands tied?

tired ghost of love
i won't miss you till you're gone from me
tired ghost of love
i won't miss you till you're gone from me


One 1000

one, you start to count, with one eye closed.
I could have sworn you skipped 4
I show you where I always go,
secret place that no one knows
that was the first thing that i did wrong

across the leaves, i hear you walk
must have fallen from the dying tree of trust

i let you in my secret place, and you don't seem to care
and every time i hide, i find a brand new spot 
and keep it all to myself

up on that dark hill, where no one goes
behind the tree with all the bullet holes
fallen branches made a cave 
we discovered love that day
that's the last place you'll find me now


Cause

all this hate 
well it just makes me sad 
look at you 
whats your cause? 
see me dragged through the mud...again 

well all i can say 
is i don't see the sense in these wars 
I'll put my faith in what got me this far 

its all i can hold 
'cause if me being gone saves one young soul 
it would keep me from ever looking back 

signs in my face 
will it help keep me bad 
you pretend that you care 
fly your flag, wear your badge 

i'll fly one day 
i'll fly one day 
can't keep me low 
keep me low 


Day Bye Day

taking pictures of the sky
some came clear while others died

and the world turned on it's heel
when she asked him 'am i real?'
and felt it disappear

taking pictures of the town
spreading magic all around

and the world nearly stood still
though we had nothing to fear
with you so very near

it's all been done before 
but willing to go around once more i'm sure
it never fades with age
but grows stonger day by day

taking pictures of the crowd
they all stopped and gathered round

and the world turned on it's heel
she asked him 'am i real?'
and he felt it disappear

who knows where we go from here
just take it day by day and have no fear
