Mirror/Mountain
03:15

I can see the future before it comes
All that's left of love is gentle hum
Leaves and flower petals left to decompose
Babe, the things I've told you, no one else can know
Everywhere I look there's a mirror or a mountain
Should I stray too soon, could you get her on the phone?
If she's already gone, don't let me crawl back in my cave
I can see your memories before they form
Why you feeling down, feeling so forlorn?
Now that it's all over, where will I go?
I could sleep for years and never know, never know
Everywhere I look there's a mirror or a mountain
Should I stray too soon, could you get her on the phone?
If she's already gone, don't let me crawl back in my cave

Hermit Heart
03:53
|

So far away from home; all that I've ever known
Stuck there like cobblestones; inside they've all flown
They wouldn't sit right with me, still try despite me
But they're nothing like me, no, they never try to see
All of this magic, these moments are passing
They'll never outlast me; which one will the last be?
I don't sleep, I only dream; lost my thoughts in the stream
Drifting on sunbeams, whispers remind me
To always, always, always, always know
Where your heart is before you go
And don't let it go, baby, don't let it go
So close to far away, all what words long to say
Could it be here to stay, what led me astray?
Led me to a quiet place, then left without a trace
Stole the smile from my face, her hair flowed down with grace
All that I can recall, they seem to see it all
From behind those walls, their voices are so small
But I'm one among them, our songs we've all sung them
Lost in the dark, we're gems, lost in your problems
Always, always, always, always know
Where your heart is before you go
And don't let it go, baby, don't let it go

Still Dreaming
03:38
|

There's noise on the street
Can't remember a day that stood still
Stuck on endless repeat
Stumbling like they always will
Here in my lonely house on the hill
Come on in
Come follow me
And I'll show you how life feels
When you're still dreaming
There are windows and walls
And an alley where the sun goes through
Shadows are tall
And the sky never looked so blue
Here in my lonely house built for two
Come on in
Come follow me
And I'll show you how life feels
When you're still dreaming
After you wake up

Have It Your Way
05:26
|

I had you in the clouds, had you in the clouds
Love makes the most beautiful patterns
I climbed your ladder, I tripped, I fell, I splattered
All across the floor, I could take it anymore
It was a dream come true, just me and you
But you wanted it your way; I knew you wouldn't stick around
I just wanted to love you, no one was above you
I just wanted to show you what real love could do
But you wanted it your way, you wanted it your way
Always your way, always your way
Always someday, always someday
We'd be together again
There was a backlash, we had some whiplash
You had that flashback and you wanted me back
But I could remember what it was I treasured
Had to dive back in those deep brown eyes
I just sighed and said
Have it your way, babe
Have it your way, babe
I guess I'll always be your slave
Have it your way, babe
Have it your way, babe
I guess I'll always be your slave
That separation ended in conflagration
And that conversation left me begging for salvation
And I didn't want to make it work, I didn't want to stick it out
My spirit was all spent
Those notes on the keyboard left you enamored
You wanted to hear my voice
So you could adore me for a minute
Why did you quit it before we even spoiled?
Before we finished what we started
Before the finish, we departed
At the starting line we can open our eyes
And remember to find a way
Back into the recesses of our brains
And start again, before we began
Have it your way, babe
Have it your way, babe
I guess I'll always be your slave
Now we're a little bit older, chip on our shoulders
But we don't have to do the same things
We can grow bolder
Love stronger
Have it your way, babe
Have it your way, babe
I guess I'll always be your slave
I mistook you for the sun
Pardon me
I mistook you for the moon and stars
That light the way to glee, light the way to glee
Have it your way, babe

Spinning
02:44
|

Spinning all around me, spun about and hit the floor
Sink into the darkest waves that sweep you to the shore
Black is all that I can see, but I can feel your hands
Pull me to the depths and let my spirit turn to sand
The air is kissed with moonlight and the color of the night
Shadows slipping through the cracks and drifting out of sight
And I don't want to open up my eyes
Forest floor is breathing, whispers night is falling fast
Falling like my heart and pulling me into the past
Spinning all around me, spun about out of control
Sun keeps on the other side the secrets I have told
And I don't want to wake up
I don't want to open up my eyes

Limb by Limb
04:36
|
|||
They're frozen in their souls
From head to toe, from head to toe
They'll watch us growing old
But we will never grow as cold
'Cause you and I burn like coal
They talk with tongues like snakes
Their words are fake, their voices shake
The pages all left blank as echoes shrank
And my heart sank below where dark waves break
Limb by limb they suck me in
To fit me in some other skin
But I'll never fit in their mold
By and by, they suck me dry
I'll steal away into the sky
Where worlds are so bright and so bold
This chase is just a dance
And there's no chance, and there's no chance
No secret safe escape, so I'll keep dancing, playing their game
But I'll never play by their rules
Limb by limb they suck me in
To fit me in some other skin
But I'll never fit in their mold
By and by, they suck me dry
I'll steal away into the sky
Where stars are so bright and so bold
Limb by limb they suck me in
To make me where a different skin
But I'll never fit in their mold

Drifting by my window
Like flecks from far off stars
The past is growing distant
To what the distance disregards
And held in your perspective
Time is a spectral hum
The wheel is set in motion
Tomorrow has begun
This wheel of fortune you have chosen
This wheel of fortune keeps you searching
I love you from the deepest place
The deepest place I know
And the journey takes us deeper still
To where I thought I'd never go
But time is just a shadow
We hold up to the light
So hold on to me closely now
As we gaze down from such a height
From this wheel of fortune that keeps you searching
This wheel of fortune you have chosen
Empty streets, they forget their own names
Creep along, green ivy, find your way
Lost my mind but I'll find it someday
Always rambling
All on a lonely day
Light is dim, is drawn into her eyes
Shadow's paths, her breath my only guide
To stay or go, I'll never decide
To discover it
All on a lonely day
Sometimes I don't know why
I feel just like an island, babe
The sea swallows the sky
I'll die drowning in the shade
All on a lonely day

Sight
03:54
|
|||
We now have the sight to decide
Will our love flow all through your braids now?
Going down the road, where will it go?
Will it just slow down and break down?
Well I call them just to say that I'm so happy
Well I call them just to say I love you so
Well I call them just to ask what makes them happy
What a shame to go through life and never know
Sitting in the sand, water in my hands
Standing at the edge of the world now
I'll never stay the same, I'll always change
Perhaps still basking in your warmth now
Well I call them just to say that I'm so happy
Well I call them just to say I love you so
Well I call them just to ask what makes them happy
What a shame to go through life and never know
Will we find our mountains in the sky?
Will we find our mountains in the sky?
Wind whips around with his whispers and his sighs
Will we find our mountains in the sky?
Underneath where you lie?
