Make Sense
03:01
|
|||
I know that you know this isn’t where we thought we’d be
And you know that I know we’re falling somewhere we can’t see
And it doesn’t make sense
Though every little thing is not right
Most of everything is alright
I'm not sure what or where we are
But we’re moving somewhere tonight
Though some days I’m lonesome, I’m still grateful for this accident
Flying in some kind of heaven, like floating omens no one sent
It just doesn’t make sense
Though every little thing is not right
Most of everything is alright
I'm not sure what or where we are
But we’re moving somewhere tonight
I know that you know this isn’t where we thought we’d be
And you know that I know we’re falling down, falling down, falling down
And it doesn’t make sense
Though every little thing is not right
Most of everything is alright
I'm not sure what or where we are
But we’re moving somewhere tonight
We’re moving somewhere, alright?
Moving somewhere tonight

CA, 1999

I’m going back to the living
I’m going back in time
To the San Fernando Valley
Headed to the darker side of night
And I’ll know it right when I see it
Some imaginary LA
Waves on waves washing over
This monastery brain
I’ve waited for you
In my Midwestern mind, I’m moving to
California
Beautiful California
Hiding here until morning
Gonna hide right here in peace
I left my stress behind me
Just by the skin of my teeth
Behind this space-age dream screen
Glows a brighter shine
A perfect kind of union
from 1999
California
I’m moving to California
Beautiful California
Some bygone California
Come, come, come away
Come away with me
Come, come, come away
Come away wholly
I’m watching it
I’m watching a picture.
Now I’m in California
Beautiful California
Moving through California
Untouchable California
California
Moving to California
Moving through California
Beautiful California

The Old Show
03:50
|

I was so much stronger then
But the old show’s over now
I had all the answers to believe in
But the old show’s over now
Yeah, that old show’s over now
Yet I can’t help but replay it again, again
Yeah, I can’t help but replay it again, again
Tomorrow I’ll open up to living in the moment
But tonight’s not over yet
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t start believing
If only the past would get on with it
But tonight’s not over yet
Hey - for a minute I saw it open up
Hey - for a minute I saw it open up
I saw it open up

Chances

So here’s another showdown
It’s high time for it to go down
And get bent out of shape
Or go down in flames
I’ve seen this room before
So let’s stop before we start it
I can’t take another day trip
Trust me, I swear it’s better to spare us both of this
Oh Lord, Sweet Jesus,
I still can’t find what I’m needing
I just might surrender
Break my heart - don’t break me down
Please break my heart, just don’t break me down
Break my heart, don’t break me down
Because I know what love is for
And I don’t trust in it anymore
Yeah, all that I know for sure
Is that I’m holding on
Today is a hundred days
So take it anywhere you wanna go
I’m open - a little punch drunk -
Gotta come down, calm down
I wanna tell ya every little thing now
I wanna tell ya who I am
I’m open - a little too raw
The outside’s in
Oh Lord, Sweet Jesus
You turn me, I’ve been waiting
Been holding on to something
But I’m letting down my guard
And I just might surrender
Don’t break my heart or break me down
Please don’t break my heart or break me down
Don’t break my heart or break me down
Because I know what love is for
And though I hate what it did to me before
All that I know for sure
Yeah, all that I know for sure
All that I know for sure
Is that we’re holding on

Hold On, Come Home
02:42
|

Beyond the marquee
We lost ya to the winning scene
Angry and afraid
Eating dogs and lemonade
And you don’t mind
Even when I’m with you
I still miss who you were
Come home again
Don’t treat us so unkind
Stop saying it’s some blessing in disguise
You’re not the only one
Waiting for a quiet calm
Be right here
Still, when you’re near me
You can’t hear, see, feel me
Please come back home
Every time I play
You turn that way
and every time I say “hold on”
I know it ain’t easy
To constantly be leaving
Please come home again

I Need You
03:37
|
|||
After years of kicking and screaming at no one
My tired fists wore down to the bone
Been trying my darndest to try and do better
And pull my body back together, man
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
Lord, I want a savior … some human connection
A dreamer dreaming dreams for two
You wake me up, honey
You make me a new man
And ya don’t care that I lost myself

Still
03:10

He’s dressed the part
Dressed to kill the good in you and the good in him
Sells his myths as truths
He still builds his home on a peaky limb
Now he’s onstage
And singing sin onto quiet and angry men
Something’s gotta change him
Shake him, stop him, turn him in
But his soul stares blindly at the light
Of that blood red sight
The flashing warning sign
That should have scared that sick out of his mind
But he’s still unfazed
Yeah, he’s still angry
Good god
His soul stares blindly at the light
Of that blood red sight
The flashing warning sign
That should have scared that sick out of his mind
But he’s still unfazed
He’s still angry
He’s still lonely
Some things never change

Cold Comfort
03:44
|
|||
I ran myself ragged through autumn
Raced my way down past the bottom
And burned all my bridges
Opened up my stitches
And did it again, again, again
And now that time has finally caught me
I’d do anything to say I’m sorry
But that’s not comfort
That’s cold comfort
I’m not ready for the truth
No, that’s no comfort
Just cold comfort
Because I’m already gone
Banking on a magic moment
Banking on a change of heart
A lucky last shot
To bury a lot
Something to open and save me
The heart aches hard, the heart aches heavy
So tough to keep it goin’ steady
It needs some comfort
Some soul comfort
Just before I see the truth
A little more comfort
And I knew comfort
Gold flowed through my blood
Give me some comfort
Even if it’s cold comfort
Just before my way back home
Please send me some comfort
A little more comfort
I’m already on my way back home
Give me some comfort
Even if it’s cold comfort
I’ll never be more ready for the truth
Please send me some comfort
Some cold comfort
Because I’m already gone

Somewhere Else
03:35

Woke up in a new age
Woke up in a new way, Honey
And though the sun has set
I’m seeing things much more clearly
I know I knew better
It can be such a lonely, lonely world
Been tied to too many things
Now I’m trying to put this back together
I know that you are somewhere else
But I see you over and over
I know that you are somewhere else
But I do love you
Yeah, I do
Now that I’m getting older
And though my anger got out (and I let it)
I’m something to see in this brand new skin
I’ve got so much life to begin
The minutes move slowly
But the years all go by in a flash, and they’re gone
Been banking on an afterlife
I’m hoping for some way to hold on
I know that you are somewhere else
But I see you over and over
I know that you are somewhere else
But I do love you
Yeah, I do
I know that you are somewhere else
But I see you, I want you, I need you
I know that you are somewhere else
But I do love you
Oh Lord, I do
