Getting There
03:11
|

on the highway now
headlights greet the ground
Janis blarin’ loud
firefly in the dark
searchin’ for my Jaguar Shark
I’d show you what I found
if you’d put that magazine down
in the weld shop now
“UV, boys! Shield masks down!”
Nobuo blarin’ loud
makin’ metal clouds
gonna turn this life around
this is getting there
(on the highway now
arms stretched across the bow)
I don’t miss the past
knew it wouldn’t last
I won’t miss this part either

Hard Reality
03:36

forget it, my love is off display
forget it, reflection of sun rays
off your pretty face
that haunts me when I am asleep
forget it, the ripples in the lake
of tears I shed for you
smooth flat rocks we skipped across my pain
pretendin' it’s a game
pretendin' it’s a game
pretending life won’t change
pretending hearts won’t break
forget it all
no invincibility, only hard reality
if it’s all the same, I don’t feel the same anymore

baby, don’t leave so quickly
stay here in my arms
I know I have harmed you
and your unrequited heart
I took you for granted
watched the years go by
should have held your warming hand
all the while
baby, don’t leave so quickly tonight
while you made sweet memories
I worried so
while you felt so lifted
I burdened so
I took you for granted
watched the years go by
should have held your warming hand
all the while
baby, don’t leave so quickly tonight
if this be our last memory
let’s take it slow
if this be my greatest crime
let’s give it time
must you walk away?
give me another day to make it fine
to make it right
baby, don’t leave so quickly
stay here in my arms tonight

The Ink
02:43
|

|
time drippin’ down into the tank
I’m gonna drown
broken oxygen mask
no pen and paper
to write you a letter sayin’:
I loved you dear
I’m gonna miss you
not sure where I go from here
and I tried my best to make you happy
go back to our spot with the life insurance
time up to my nose
the panic is real and death is a seal
on the page of my life
I should have written more
should have used all the ink I
had a beautiful house, a beautiful wife
kids ridin’ on bikes
saw pictures flyin’ on planes
in between meetings
heavy eyes in a hotel bed
I love you dear
I’m gonna miss you
not sure where I go from here
and I tried my best to make you happy
go back to our spot with the life insurance

It'll Happen

hey, baby, can I hear you dance
in the kitchen of our brand new house?
I can play the pots and pans
and you can sing and clap your hands
too quiet in the restaurant
too quiet in the parkin’ lot
lets make this house we bought
a place where we can be who we want
sunlight shinin’ in on your pretty skin
dress blurs as you spin
you warm my heart again
sunset shinin’ grand on your face and hands
so much time, so many plans
you warm my heart again
hey, baby, let’s get the car
let the highway take us far
we can play our favorite songs
as loud as we want
“Roll up the window, it’s gettin’ colder.”
fall asleep on my shoulder
I’ll stay as still as I can
and hold your perfect hand
moonlight shinin’ in on your pretty skin
I can feel you breathin’
you warm my heart again
sunrise shinin’ grand on your face and hands
well spent time, well done plans
you warm my heart and
I have honestly never been so happy
I have honestly never been so happy
life felt so wrong without your loving kindness
dark lonely nights, gone for good
gone for good, gone for good

At Hand

comin’ back to this
this big old mess me made
You will, You will soon
does it hurt so bad to watch us break
and writhe and curse Your name?
You are comin’ soon
all I’ve got is nothin’
all You gave is freein’ me
1, 2, 3, You rose again
like from Mary’s womb
in the cold night screaming
that hope is here
that hope is here to stay, always
You’re comin’ soon

i know you’re into all of this
so why are you actin’ like a you know what?
i know that you just wanna dance
this argument to death so you can see
somethin’ new from me
i’m sorry that it’s come to this
we’re sweatin’ bullets and our hearts
are workin' overtime
i know you want me to break loose
but your eyes are a warm bed that i
find my rest in
come on down baby and rest with me
we’ll find time to see the redwoods touch the sky
if you can’t wait baby find somebody else
if you can’t wait baby just leave me to myself
i know you’re into all of this
so why are you actin’ like a you know what?

Sweet Face

your sweet face
on my mind now everyday
I didn’t want this to happen
but it did and now I’m distracted
most of the time
when I work, when I’m tryin’ to fall asleep
you’re on me, you’re on me
you’re on me
you’re like a warm bed we made with
sweet memories
and your sweet face is on me
