living on a farm
sunlight shining off the leaves
sneaking through the window pane to me
to me
falling back into the time
when we were one and you were mine
i cry
i always cry
oh my
oh my
always reading between all the lines
and i can't find the time to
lose myself in my mind
sometimes i lose myself in my mind
i can't hide
love is shining from your soul
lift me up and make me whole again
my friend
rain is tapping on the side
of the house we bought
where you an i once lived
as kids
we did
you know where i belong
with you living on a farm
forever
always reading between all the lines
and i can't find the time to
lose myself in my mind
sometimes i lose myself in my mind
illuminated by the moon
the fields are bright
and i don't think we're doomed
not soon
i find
i wanna find love too
with you living on a farm
oooh we're living on mars
together
Light
You said the last time that I held you tight
was the last time that i really breathed
i whispered slowly well what does that mean
and you just said we’ll see
there’s a light in my bedroom
flooding blue from the tv
there’s a ghost in my bedroom
and he’s watching over me
i dreamt of you once again last night
and i wondered where is my mind
where is my heart, where is my soul
and is love really blind?
on my page there’s a teardrop
flooding down from my eye
and there’s a hole in my heart
i hope one day i’ll find
love will rain
love will reign
love will rain down
Burning Time, Wasting Wine
it's always been cold
and now that you're old
it's a little too late my friend
you've been burning time
you've been wasting wine
and you're late for rent again
sitting at the football game
under a cold november sheet of rain
i looked around and wondered: "where have you been?"
but this was not my time to know
and as the rain it froze to snow
i shivered and stared back into my coffee
i remembered back into the fall
when i would try to avoid your calls
any form of contact at the time was too much
and lying in the yard with leaves
looking for something to believe in
i had the distraction of my dog to help me
fast forward dreams of city-bound
my future self was still unfound
my mind had really just begun its racing
with love and life and politics
or skyward staring into mystics
and in the future i had hoped to sing
i know a girl who makes sense of
the worried questions in my head
my little girl opens my mind
beyond a time
when heartache rules the world
figuring i had much to learn
and too much time already burned
in the pyre of time that i had become stagnant
with bombs exploding everywhere
in a time and place where no one cared
what i have to say i felt it time to talk
my brothers would soon forgive me
when time came for me to take my leave
checking the mail for photographs would have to be enough
in what cannot be explained in words
or recorded so it can be heard
in the future i naively hope to sing
i know a girl who makes sense of
the worried questions in my head
my little girl opens my mind
beyond a time
when heartache rules the world
it's always been cold
and now that you're old
it's a little too late my friend
you've been burning time
you've been wasting wine
and you're late for rent again
Colorful
colorful, beautiful
in your heart
beautiful: counter full of chemicals
he know how
the kind of fall - beautiful
or anyhow
beautiful on the whole
it is your heart
beautiful he cried
it isn't like i really had to try
we're going
for the real
we're going
for the real
we're going
all dressed up but he got nowhere to go
ready to sing but he don't have a show
still he bought it
and true he thought
i'll play it hard - like he know how
still he fought
hoping for a miracle
it's breathing out, breathing in and breathing now
it's beautiful, damn you know it's beautiful
it ain't your fault but still it is your heart and all
it's beautiful, don't you know it's beautiful
in your heart down where you gotta start
a dark heart greets me with another form of
time to occupy
we're going
it's breathing in
without it
it's breathing in
we're going
woah
For You
when the weather changed
the trees gave way
to exposing their bare bones
he stood like them
stark and naked in the cold
empty and screaming for a home
and with no comfort near
and no end in sight
he pined for you
the only thing he ever knew
for you he would fall
to a cause great or small
again
for you he would take
that fatal pill and fake
his death
for you he would go
to great lengths just to show
his love
but he can't lose you again
all the ticking clocks
that sing her to sleep
strike more truth in her head
that the man she loved
is gone in the past
like a stranger passed and moved on
and with no one to call dear
and a head filled with fright
she pines for you
the only thing she ever knew
for you she would fall
to a cause great or small
again
for you she would take
that fatal pill and fake
her death
for you she would go
to great lengths just to show
her love
but she can't lose you again
so put down your pride
leave your heart at the door
for the fool in disguise
and fall
and with no comfort near
and no end in sight
he pines for you
the only thing he ever knew
for you he would fall
to a cause great or small
again
for you he would take
that fatal pill and fake
his death
for you he would go
to great lengths just to show
his love
but he can't lose you, no
he can't play the fool no more
he can't lose you again
