SOMEONE WALKS AWAY
------------------------------
Goodbye my sweet girl
It's gonna be okay
You'll be back in your mama's arms by the dawn
Just go get on that plane
Don't worry about me
I will count the rainy days while you are gone
Make 'em smile make 'em sing
Revel in the joy you bring
Even as our hearts are wondering what's in store
And you left to make it right
So gather love with all your might
Go find the answers you've been looking for
Phones ringing far and wide
(Only you know the answer)
From hopes to foolish pride
(You made good on your plans)
You went home and I'm out wandering this town
But I know you couldn't wait
(The wanderlust will lead you)
And though the hour is late
(Well are we meant to be)
I will love you even if you let me down
Make 'em smile make 'em sing
Revel in the joy you bring
Even as our hearts are wondering what's in store
And you left to make it right
So gather love with all your might
Go find the answers you've been looking for
Madness in the years
Distance in the days
There's treasure in the tears
When someone walks away
Make 'em smile make 'em sing
Baby it's the joy you bring
Even as our hearts are knocking at the door
And you left to make it right
So gather love with all your might
Go find the answers you've been looking for
Go find the answers you've been looking for
Go find the answers you've been looking for

YOU KNOW THE WAY HOME
----------------------------------
There's a place for us
And it's everywhere
We can laugh and cuss
And live without a care
And if you've got to stray
Wherever you roam
It's a brand new day
You know the way home
There's a sky thats wide
(Beaches and oceanside)
Grinning ear to ear
(Nothing to fear)
But it's cold inside
(No love will be denied you here)
And I wish you were here
Since you've been away
I feel love but I'm missing
On a lost highway
For us and for this thing
I will be your prey
You know the way...
Kept like a secret like you're part of me
Set free to be the way you want to be
The die is never cast
Our future needs no past
There's a place for us
And it's everywhere
Little Miss Mistrust
I will be right there
So if you've got to stray
Okay
It's a brand new day
I feel love but I'm missing
On a lost highway
For us and for this thing
I won't be afraid
You know the way home

WARMER WEATHER
------------------------
A broken heart a failed attempt they saw you cry
On the video that was taken on your cousin's wedding day
And what a shame you should have known love would not fly
What you believed was gonna soar became a burden of prey
But you stood up head held high
Sifting through the pieces where they lay
Horizon resizing
Who cares what they say
Set your sights on warmer weather
Ooh ooh ooh ooh baby I will hold
On to you when we're together
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
And I know I'm not him but in time
Maybe I will feel like home
A fit of fear what is to come how will this play
What is the price of being nice am I fanning a fire
Nowhere to run under the gun above the fray
Bittersweet do I retreat or do I dance with desire
I'll stand up hold steady
Even if the makings are a mess
A rebound so profound
But I'm yours to possess
Set your sights on warmer weather
Ooh ooh ooh ooh baby I will hold
On to you when we're together
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
And I know I'm not him but in time
Maybe I will feel like
Home is where the heart is baby
Home is when
You set your sights on warmer weather
Baby I will hold
On to you when we're together
Ooh ooh ooh ooh pretty marigold
Set your sights on warmer weather
Ooh ooh ooh ooh baby I will hold
On to you when we're together
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
And I know I'm not him but my love
Maybe someday I will feel
Like home (4x)

BLUE LIGHT
---------------
Blue light in the black night
And its 4:32 and I can't fight
The notion of devotion
How I still feel for you is an ocean
I thought we understood us
Mystery solved
Brilliant but oh my goodness
Chords unresolved
Snow dancing on the TV
And the noise is white
But I'm burning red for you
In the blue light
Cold flame so we take aim
And it breaks down into the blame game
Our end I will transcend
But how do you just let go of your best friend
I thought we understood us
Never misled
Beauty but oh my goodness
Words never said
Snow falling on the TV
And the noise is white
But I'm burgundy for you
In the blue light
Fall down on my knees again
The winds of change will break or bend
I long to love you now and then
But you're happy to be free my friend
Fall down on my knees again
(Never knew how to please you)
The winds of change will break or bend
(I had to just release you)
I long to love you now and then
(Never knew how to please you)
But you're happy without me my friend
(I had to just release you)
Blue light in the black night
And I still love you and its all right
I thought we understood us
Mystery solved
But Baby oh my goodness
Chords unresolved
Snow fighting on the TV
And the noise is white
But I'm burning red for you
I'm burgundy for you
I'm furious orange for you
In the blue light

Kiss The Ground

KISS THE GROUND
-----------------------
I can't take it
Worrying about the world out there
When a circle is a square
Will we make it
Is there anywhere left to make it to
Or left for me and you
Calling it crazy insults the insane
Might as well frost our cornflakes with cocaine
Guess we should send every swamp down the drain
But the sun is in the rain
So let's take another breath
Make our own summer
Give our grief a little death
And skip the wake
When a wealth of broken dreams
Has left you in the lost and found
Throw your worries to the wind
And kiss the ground
I can't shake it
The feeling that we could be unified
Like the moon and tide
Remake it
There's still a canvas underneath the paint
Down under what we ain't
Differences made of our colors and clothes
Between our ears is where this culture grows
But we can always re-choose what we chose
And everybody knows
So let's take another step
And hold our lovers
Or let’s walk a solo mile
Out to the lake
We've been around the sun a thousand times
Still the fox ain't caught the hound
Let go your suffering
And kiss the ground
The eagle and the firefly
Our laughter soaring through the sky
A lust for life a playful grin
Freedom within
So let's take another breath
Make our own summer
Give our grief a little death
And skip the wake
And though we've failed and though we've cried
Our hands are never bound
So let go your suffering
Throw your worries to the wind
Let the new day begin
And kiss the ground
Yeah fire it up again
And kiss the ground

Black In Bloom

BLACK IN BLOOM
----------------------
When the road is rock and the fire is ash
And the icicles on your mustache
And you try to breathe but you only cough
And you want to tell the whole world off
Come on
In your despair
Climb with me to cleaner air
We can wreck the recovery room
You can shine even with
Your black in bloom
In the carnival you're the woeful clown
And the walk-on-bys just won't sit down
There's a part of you that is aching so
And you need to let somebody go
Come on
With all you bear
Climb up out of sin and prayer
We'll erase the recovery room
You can shine even with
Your black in bloom
So you say you're lonely
You know you're not the only
It's okay to say
Nothing makes sense nothing makes sense
The earth nor sky nor you nor I
Within your pain life giving rain
Come on
I know that you care
Climb with me and scream and swear
We arrange the recovery room
You can shine with your black in bloom
You can shine with your black in bloom
You can shine with your black in bloom
We can shine even with
Our black in bloom

Devil Bride

DEVIL BRIDE
---------------
You sold me the structure of my regret
The tears and sweat and innocence lost
A wolf in sheep's clothing that won't relent
My knees are bent for fear of the cost
But I run back to you with broken arms
Dutifully by your side
First you inflict then you heal the harms
Every time I "backslide"
Devil Bride
I spit your mantras no words replaced
A glass of grace to wash down the light
Conjure the courage and stay composed
The curtain closed but something ain't right
(Judas! Drink from the well
Let go of hell forever!
He is around and above you
We're just here to console
Fear and control! Panic!
Emotional murder! We love you!)
But I run to meet you with wayward hands
Believing you'll be my guide
As you reveal all of heaven's plans
Suspect and unverified
Devil Bride
Ain't it okay just to be?
The sky's open and wide and free
Could nature be the door
That will lead me to a place
With the song and the space
I've been aching for
Now I'm running from you to doubt and dismay
Pitied or crucified
Who'll be the judge of your judgment day
There is no great divide (2x)
Devil Bride (4x)
Amen!

Every Ghost

EVERY GHOST
------------------
I saw you yesterday
For the first time in two months
You were gentle but seething
Your velvet backhand and your fronts
So distant and different
And not just your clothes and your hair
Now it's diabolique
When we speak we destruct and despair
But I miss the drug and misery of holding you at night
The tragic melancomedy of feigning it was all right
But I hope hope will cut through
To a girl I never really knew
You run away with every ghost
That's haunting you
I never meant
To burn down like a cheap cigarette
It was subtle but brutal
We both ran out of blood to let
But props to your point
That it's pointless to point and accuse
I'm right and you're right
And that's that and there's nothing to lose
But I miss the camaraderie the dreams we drifted via
Or perhaps it isn't us I miss but merely the idea
But I hope hope will cut through
To a girl I only thought I knew
You run away with every ghost
That's haunting you
Every day a bridge to cross
To one side peace and one chaos
A free fall into love and loss
And I hope love will come true
And one day we both know what to do
We'll run away from every ghost
Get away from every ghost
Hide away from every ghost
Do away with every ghost

ALICE
-------
I ran to her on that day in mid-September
Inconsolable a hard and hopeless stare
She rocked me close singing honey don't you worry
Alice will heal your hurt from this old rocking chair
She packed our bags leaving all she knew behind her
Headed west across the rolling plains of gold
A church her children and a place to plant a garden
But was this all she needed to be happy and grow old
She said Jimmy take me back to that seaside town
The place where my heart lives and I can pray on sacred ground
And though I'll be with you whether we lose or we win
Love won't you take me home again
Jimmy take me back to that seaside town
The place where my heart lives and I can pray on sacred ground
And though I'll be with you whether we lose or we win
Love won't you take me home again
Love won't you take me home again

OH WELL
-----------
I put my woman down
Put her down
'Cause my arms were tired
Really tired
Bah bah da bah da bah bah die yah
Slept all through the night
Through the night
(You can do what you wanna)
'Cause I was drugged
I was drugged
(This isn't marijuana)
Bah bah da bah da bah bah die yah (2x)
My mother told me not to be a jerk
Oh well
Had a friend for lunch
He was good
And my cousin dyed
Dyed his hair
Bah bah da bah da bah bah die yah
Woman put me down
Put me down
(I want to scream and holler)
Don't try to hold me up
I am broke
(Ain't got a single dollar)
Bah bah da bah da bah bah die yah (2x)
My father told me I should go to hell
Oh well
Let me tell you this
Tell you this
This this this this this
This this this
Bah bah da bah da bah bah die yah (2x)
My mother told me not to be a wuss
Oh well

OPTIMIST PRINE
--------------------
Well the mailman writes his tunes
Have us howling at the moon
Songs of growing old of love and then loving life
And all the cool cats they sing along
With the angel in his song
We got no worries now everything's all right
Sing your song
We'll sing along
Pour yourself a drink at that heavenly farm you bought
And as you sit with your mom and dad
Talkin' bout the funny words he had
You made us proud
You let us grieve
You bring us as laughter as you leave
Sing your song
We'll sing along
Pour yourself a drink at that heavenly farm you bought
And as you sit with your dad and cuss
Pickin' out a tune for all of us...
Rest assured them Peabody boys are still in a fuss
Yeah you know them Peabody boys are still in a fuss
