Looked outside today and thought of you
The grass is getting long and the trees are in bloom
Then I remember that you're coming home soon
You are coming, never too soon
He is leaving, yellow lines and hearts
It takes a lionshare to get through the start
But it takes a lamb to fall apart at the mention that maybe this ain't too smart
But we are not believers
But we are not to blame
Time these days is going fast
I find myself becoming more fond of the past
Then I remember how it's hard to relax, always asking how long a good thing lasts
Cos we are not believers
But we are not to blame
We are not believers
And we are not to blame

Doorsteps

It was six o'clock when I found out you died
What was I supposed to say?
I got off the phone, went upstairs and I cried
Forty years had gone away
Now we're gathered round the photos of children smiling and laughing
Times better than these
And we are caught without intention
No one's here to show us how it's supposed to be
I got off a quarter after nine and headed over straight away
On a crowded subway thought I overheard, "did you read the stats today?"
Now we're gathered round the photos of children smiling and laughing
Times better than these
And we are caught without intention
No one's here to show us how it's supposed to be
And we could not prepare for darkness to fall upon our doorsteps
And we could not prepare for darkness to fall upon our doorsteps
And we could not prepare for darkness to fall upon our doorsteps

Song for Morrie
02:55
|
|

How long will this go on
He is fading, death in waiting
Old man sitting in his chair
Morrie can't walk but he talks to me
Ten brown soldiers in their white caps
They make rest come fast, but it never lasts
With six months left he is teaching us that just cos you're dying never give up trying to love
And maybe all we need is someone to come home to
I watch him slip away
Body shrinking but his mind's still thinking
With all the knowledge of the future clear
He'll stick it out tonight but how long will he fight?
And maybe all we need is someone to come home to?
And we all can't help but stand around and we hope that time will just take him down
So that this man can just go on with his mindset clear and regrets all gone

Beneath Rocks and Sand

Lover I know, this time it's real
Bare bones spread out
I just want to heal
So pick off my flesh, it's all I have left
Take what you need, don't worry about me
I've done all I can and I cannot stand
To sacrifice myself for another man
You've proven me right, too many nights
I think I deserve to give myself some time
No where do we go
We've all lost our way
Self deprecation becoming okay
So throw out your hand and drag me to land
I'm under the ocean, beneath rocks and sand

Scared of Time
03:46
|
|
||

Can you see the martyr, he is crying
He is believing all that's left unsaid
And the girl in the red dress, she is dying
They found her body underneath the tracks
But the bells on the hill, they keep tolling
Seeking solace for the souls they've left behind
And the man on the radio reinstating
"What's the point of laughing if you're lying?"
And we are not scared of time
No we are not scared this time
Oh the prodigal sons, they've got opinions
They've got an answer for every occasion
But the man on the tv always saying,
"Don't believe the devil while he's praying"
And we are not scared of time
No we are not scared this time
And we are not scared of time
No we are not scared this time

Lost Parts
03:19

Let's go to my place, we'll find shelter there
The big one is coming, we'd better prepare
This won't take long, let's just be strong
I ran from the desert, with rocks on my feet
I couldn't run fast enough
I'll admit my defeat
These lost parts of me now
Where have they gone?
Where's my garden of Eden?
Cos that's where I belong.
And you told us we would be the last of the millions to die
So please hold us as I take one last breath
This won't take long
Let's just be strong

On the Basis

Hello Mister, I've seen those eyes before
Crawl into my bed dear, come in through the back door
You said you craved a change of pace
I'll rearrange my sheets for you if you love me too
Morning sunshine, you've caught us yet again
Thought we covered all the bases with our salty, sweaty sin
You asked me to explain why our love had felt so strange
Oh baby let it be, slide your doubt off for me...
And the hours add up and the days they die
With the time we spent picking up our lives
And the night grows long
And the fear sets in for the next reprise
When the girl you love can't dry her eyes
And the night grows long
And the fear grows strong
I don't want to be wrong
I don't want to be wrong

In Flight
02:54
|
|

Gave you a gift you couldn't return
Took a shot at the sun but I got burned
Maybe it was my turn
To know how it felt to yearn
For a love that took years and years to earn
I caught the eye of the man in the hat
Tried to offer my peace but he wasn't taking that
Shaking his fist at my perseverance, or my lack,
At believing this is this and that is that.
I was raised in this life without the light
I made friends with the wolves who prowled in the night
Maybe it the fight that kept me out of sight
Hoping to catch a single bird in flight

Oh Humility
02:47
|
|
||
|
The water's washed away the dryspell
We couldn't ask for more
But I'm waiting to see if you're waiting for me
The ocean's blue, the sky's beyond my thoughts
That I may never subscribe these inhibitions
To someone else's revelation
Cos the signs are in the sweat that's dripping down your back
Oh humility, you're coming under attack
Stretching our absolution, I prepare to seal the resignation
But I'm waiting to see if you're waiting for me
Cos the signs are in the sweat that's dripping down your back
Oh humility, you're coming under attack
Oh humility, you're coming under attack

Mermaids

Don't stop
Bad times
Just pause, rewind
Close my eyes and take my hand
Face to face we understand, understand
Mindset, age waits
Love is commonplace
Hear my voice and say with me
"we can care and still be free"
I feel so tall when I'm with you
Tip toes and all, I never feel small
We found red hearts beating fast
I want this to last, I want this to last
