Home 04:30
I look for home in the leaves on the trees In the colors and the falling, and it's enough for me Every day I'm walking 'til my legs give out Chasing time, chasing visions and answers to what it's all about What is it all about? I carry this heart over my shoulder Foolish and heavy it aches for what is known The meaning changes as I get older Thought I had to find it on my own Oh this city of dreams never seems to sleep I see a tired wild fire in every face I meet Oh this city and I, well we're two of a kind Just a stream of moving pictures and relentless neon signs I carry this heart over my shoulder Foolish and heavy it aches for what is known The meaning changes as I get older I thought I had to find it on my own So take my hand and sing with me You remember all the words and I'll remember to breathe When the trees are bare and the tears are new I think that I could find a little home in you And that'll do

Think of Me 04:50
And here we have my heart in pieces again I unravel all the knots 'til they're all loose ends But you don't have to worry, it's happened before And don't the pieces look fine scattered all over the floor When I had too much and disappeared, still somehow you saw me Gave me water without questions and food to fill my body I was just a hungry kid, starving for some action and some two way streets So I'll take my leave and I won't look back Lay my bed of roses on the subway tracks Maybe finally then I can get some peace And I'll think of you the way you never think of me Oh I think I need to come to terms cause it's gettin' kinda sad And none of this is going how I saw it in my head Swept off my feet and it's a long way down Thoughts of you won't do me good when I hit the ground So I'll take my leave and I won't look back Lay my bed of roses on the subway tracks Maybe finally then I can get some peace And I'll think of you the way you never Think of me, think of me, think of me...

Oh I think it's time I put a name to this feelin Force myself awake from this steady dreaming As we live into each others' eyes I see I've got love of a different kind Well it started small as all seeds do An incriminating blush, an "I don't like you" Then it shot to the height of your magic pines The ones that you taught me and forced me to climb Then that early morning, as I pretended to sleep You were honest as ever, so sad and sweet I heard the words like the softest cry Slapped on a smile then as we watched the sunrise Well they were right when they said the timing is wrong Tomorrow could be singing a brand new song But we'll talk about it all and we'll be alright That's okay, babe, we just got love of a different kind

You See Me 03:43
She hears a story in a word A voice that rings from the center of the earth When I speak, she understands With a wisdom she holds in the veins on her hands Sometimes I don't listen when you're right and I'm afraid And pride comes from fear, mostly anyways Do you get afraid too? With a heart so bare? You can tell me, I'll hear you when your voice starts to tear Oh you see me, and I see you Oh you see me, and I see you That's just what we do That thing you got buzzin' inside your chest, Secret sounds and stories that fly beside the rest These are seeds these are gifts, they seek and they serve Breathe into them the life they deserve Oh I see you, and you see me Oh I see you and you see me, That's how it'll always be Oh can we go down to the water Where the beauty is bigger and troubles are smaller Spirit like the sea pulls me in, pulls me through You got mirrors and sweaters from Salvation Army too Oh thank God you see me, and I see you Oh you see me, and I see you When this city's damn hard, and dreams feel far I think of the many miles we've lived in the car You've loved me whole since I came to be My home is in the music that you sing with me

Tree Bark 04:20
Oh I'm a piece of bark, split between two trees And there ain't enough hours in the day to explain what that means All these splintering passions, how do I reconcile? I know I'm goin' down some day, but at least I'll go out in style Oh lessons learned, the purest of intentions Oh tears will burn, mining ground under my feet, Failure never smelled so sweet to me "Patience," I am told, a whole life yet ahead Well if I'm so young tell why then do I feel so dead? Every little breath awakening, caught in my own cunning trap Every pathway I have strangled, I have torn up every nameless map Oh lessons learned, the purest of intentions Oh tears will burn, mining ground under my feet, Failure never smelled so sweet to me Oh I am a tree, branded, blistered but standing tall I got years spread over miles in front me, and I don't mind at all If my strings keep breaking, if my words keep comin' out wrong Long as my heart keeps bursting, as long as my song is sung

Would You Be 04:10
Oh would you be my dance partner? Hold me close in kept poetry The sun rises and sets in your marble eyes Would mind fallin' in love with me? No you don't like dancin' on your two left feet You find it hard to catch the rhythm Well as long as those long legs keep close to mine Standing still can be just as sweet Well we loved and we wandered like kids on the run, Before the dream gave way to the sleep So how shall I wake you with force or with fire? Don't mind flyin' too close to the sun Oh would you be my dance partner? Hold me close in kept poetry The sun rises and sets in your marble eyes Would mind fallin' in love with me? Well all the couples have split and the band's started packin' And there's no song to dance to you say Well I hear two hearts tryna beat in time And I'm still standin' here askin' Oh would you be my dance partner? Hold me close in kept poetry The sun rises and sets in your marble eyes Would mind fallin' in love with me?

I see in you a mechanical man Wide open skies and desert sands And you've walked those sands and watched those skies With restless feet and faraway eyes Holey shoes, unholy jokes The sound of your laugh through cigarette smoke Garage attic kingdom, where no one ever knew Making memories, making all the noise you wanted to When you come home can I climb on your back again? And I'll hold on so tight you can't breathe I don't always know you or where you're livin' But you're a hero and a mystery to me Remember all the questions we used to pose? 'Bout God and video games--all the shit we didn't know Remember I was scared with nothin' to say Remember you told me that was okay? That was okay Well by now I've learned you'll make your own way And it's a solitary song you play But if your nights aren't warmed by thicker skin All I'm askin's that you let me in When you come home can I climb on your back again? And I'll hold on so tightly you can't leave I don't always know your or where you're livin' But you're a hero and a mystery to me Well you know I've heard we look the most alike Same sense of humor and the same blood type And I've been told I sing like you That's probably because I try so hard to
