Slowly Bright

When black gives in to violet the sky begins to sing again
the waves upon the sand I hear bring about a breeze so light
I couldn't sleep at all tonight so I get to see the dawn
shadows blue and very low beautiful and slowly bright
I think I love you darling but I can't live in this moment
I'm a product of the past you know
and I worry about the future
Melancoly in my heart when I
took a trip with you
I took it very far away
and lost my lonely grip that day
I want to feel you always close
I step away to find the view
perspective's just a distant light
and nighttime always leaves me blue
then black gives in to violet the sky begins to sing again
again again the waves and sea
beautiful and slowly bright

Whole Wide World

every word in my head is old and used
how can i sing a song that's new
in this whole wide world i want you to calm me down
in this whole wide world i want you
every day ends with the setting sun
every night my dreams are all the same
chorus
we've got alot of things that we could try
come on make it happen baby
everything in this life has it's time
i hope you will take up a lot of mine

I'll Be Back Soon
03:32

you think that you can put me down
using words to knock me down
find my weakness then make me cry
don't worry, i'll be back soon
you think that you're the only one
who's got a dream under the sun
and all the planets revolve around your thumb
don't worry, i'll be back soon
and when there's only one breath left in the air
will you swallow it alone
or will you hunt me down so we can share
a final kiss
inside my air-tight memory
lies every word you said to me
you can't remember what i can't forget
but don't worry, i'll be back soon

So Hard to Believe
02:55

he's got alot of light in his eyes
lately he's shining it all on me
night falls his hands are my lullaby
he knows how to pull me down to sleep
but days keep marking time
and time keeps marking days
and these days i keep wondering
why it's so hard to believe
why it's so hard to believe
spring is here the sun is high
the birds are singing all around
there's hope and happiness in the air
he's got alot of love in his heart
never a worry on his mind
night falls his hands are my lullaby
he knows everything's gonna work out fine

When You Looked at Me
03:51
|
|||
|
I looked down
through the bottom
of my glass
and i saw the reflection of a face
you used to see when you looked at me
i looked down
through my window
from my bed
and remembered the skyline down below
down below when you looked at me
from the rooftop
empty bottle
when the phone rings
you are calling
didn't mean to
hurt you badly
but leaves are falling sadly
i looked up
from a letter
and the summer
had suddenly faded into fall
like your face when you looked at me
i looked down
through the bottom
of my glass
and i saw the reflection of a face
you used to see when you looked at me

Anything Can Happen
03:00

anythiing can happen
that's what makes me sad
the thought that we
might just be
intersecting momentarily
your voice is warm and quiet
though you're far away
it seems to me
that destiny
is strange and twisted
like an old cliche
one hundred little actions
all make up my day
and usually
each two or three
i stop and wish that you were here with me
anything can happen
that goes for good things too
so i'll keep in mind
these lonesome times
are part of missing you

Burned Down Summer
03:52
|
|||
|
life is resiliant when it fills up
fills up forgetting everything
it shines so glorious from high above
like a string of diamonds in the sea
I burned down summer to the ground
I burned down everything I had
'til the smoke rose all around
with no more room in my big brain for this
I burned down summer
Life is persistent when it's empty
Empty when the bottom falls away
With too much happiness you go under
And sink like diamonds in the sea

Darkness
03:49

looking down on everything from this altitude
i can see for miles it's vast and free and blue
the words that left your body echo like a drum
silence is a shadow now I'd like to get me some
darkness darkness i know you'll shine again if you make the climb
you could weave a melody play it out with ease
you found your perfect audience and brought me to my knees
but everything is quite now everything is changed
everything you gave to me i'll give it back again
darkness...
when time has worked its magic ways
and everything that's broken flies away
I'll look up at the evening sky
and I'll smile again

Look Down
04:08
|

|
silver skies are turning black again
tv's light the windows across the way
and your voice is ringing in my ears
why'd you go so far away this time my dear
remember look down...
I'd like to follow to the place you've gone off to
'cause I know your eyes can see from where you are
and your mind is bright again and free
you can see all of these candles burning
remember look down...
you're a photograph, a memory
a dream a dream a dream don't wake me
I know you said one day you'd fly
with no regrets and no goodbye
red red blood is the color that I hold on to
keeping what we feel is real alive
later on when the precious moments fly
I'll remember the light once shining in your eyes

the city sky is cold today
early winter morning
clouds of smoke are dancing
from the chimneys on the rooftops
one bird flies a plane goes by
everyone's asleep i think of you
yesterday my heart was free now you've filled it up for me
my cat sits by the window
the radiator hisses
sunday morning's quiet
in this temporary home
somewhere far away the sun is burning up the sand i think of you
yesterday...

Dream
04:18

this time last winter i was looking in your eyes
i told you never then i choked you with your lies
i told you never but i cannot let you die
you're only sleeping
we made alot of plans all beautiful and green
we made alot of plans that fell down just like rain
all our discussions i still don't know what they mean
you're only sleeping
dream dream dream close your eyes
one perfect touch will take you there
dream dream dream you will find
that when you wake up there'll be endless sky
outside the window the horizon's very small
one shakey promise keeps my faith so bold and blind
sometimes it's easy to forget that all the time
you're only sleeping

everything in this life has it's time
i hope you will take up alot of mine
