Feelings

It was a close call, it was a near miss
could've turned into a brawl but it ended in a kiss
and I got left here with my feelings
got left here with my feelings
left here with my feelings, lucky I could feel at all
I saw a dark cloud, I had to catch a ride
the noise was too loud, so I ended up inside
and I got caught up in my feelings
caught up in my feelings
caught up in my feelings, lucky I could feel at all
your very first cry, your very last breath
and in between life, yeah that's where you lose yourself
and it's ok to have some feelings
ok to have some feelings
it's ok to have some feelings
lucky we could feel at all

Give Up
03:33
|

|
It seems it wasn't even when the car door closed
Your burdens peeled away like summer clothes
Your bags were packed, your mind made up for sure
The road ahead never felt so free before
You said light one up and hand it here
I'll catch you up on what's between my ears
had to sell the boat just to live in an old folk's home
while the college kids are in the street below
I've been wanting to give up
I've been thinking it through
It seems I need a few more hours down this road with you
the things you say, the songs we sing the whole way through
Never wanted to give up, when I'm with you
Your cigarette's out again, and it's been 20 years my friend
You said you'll ask one time then you won't bring it up again...
...what a question
And I like watching you the last light of day
when your eyes catch the sun that way
and the conversation turns to dreams
and we find our better selves it seems
I've been wanting to give up
I've been thinking it through
It seems I need a few more hours down this road with you
the things you say, the songs we sing the whole way through
Never wanted to give up, when I'm with you

Pump Track

I see you crusing past the cool kids, they stare as you go
they see smooth luck and grace in your faded jeans and hair hanging low
and all the little kids are geeking as they see a streak of speed passing by
and everybody's wearing smiles as they're rolling underneath blue sky
and you can find me at the pump track
i'll be the one with all the stoke
a little too old for my t-shirt
not old enough to let it go
you can find me at the pump track
all my friends are rolling too
i just met this one this morning
i hope to see you here real soon
it's all for fun don't think about it get yourself out the way
and stay loose while your carving and remember not to be afraid
we can meet right here, and leave the rest behind
we can meet right here, and leave the rest behind
I think we might be fine
you can find me at the pump track
all my friends are rolling too
i just met this one this morning
i hope to see you here real soon

Sweet Mary
03:20

Slippin' down black water and I got a creepy feelin' like
my ancestors rolling in their graves
and all the trees there knew it...that evil had passed there...the ghosts that
were cast there in that bad way
and the white folks bought all the black folks that church
so they could tell their kids that everything's ok....and we say...
Love come deliver us
Love come deliver us
Love come deliver us
and Sweet Mary have your way
the sand made that road there, the grass grew between the tires
tough to look in their eyes from where my cards lay
I paid the man his money. I asked just one question.
Not too many landings were down that way....and we say...
Love come deliver us
Love come deliver us
Love come deliver us
and Sweet Mary have your way
Love come deliver us
Love come deliver us
Love come deliver us
and Sweet Mary have your way

With Your Eyes Closed
03:10
|

What is it you see with your eyes closed?
Why do you wake up?
Who do you see first?
What makes you best?
What makes you worse?
How are you different?
How you're the same.
How is a human wrapped in a name?
What is it you see with your eyes closed?
Why do you stand there with wide-open arms?
Who do you talk to when everything's dark?
What makes your rules up?
Where is your line?
What will you fight for?
What will you fight for?
What is it you see with your eyes closed?
What does your mind do with something new?
Shake your head and say that line again...that you're used to.
What is it you see with your eyes closed?
What is it you see with your eyes closed?

Bones and Stars
03:57
|
|||
|
There are bones in the ground
and a wheel rolls on cause it's round
If you take all that you've found, where will it leave you?
Every bit of us was something else before
and we stare across with open hearts and wonder what's in store
and the layers to it all make it so much more mysterious...that I found you
There are stars in the sky that shine on us from back in time
and leave the questions in our minds and I'll never find the answers
When I wake up and the sky has all turned gray
and I wonder if the stars I saw last night had gone away
then I look into your eyes and it seems that they sparkle the same way
We can do it if we want to. We can let our starlight shine.

Coffee and Weed
03:20
|
|||
|
I smell like coffee and weed and I'm hurt by what you did to me
I don't know if I can do it again. I'm weak as water now my friend
after the first time.
Now all the chances we had to talk it out but chose silence instead
and all the voices spinning inside our heads left no room for the truth to be said after all this time
So if you wanna walk away like that, there's an open door with a welcome mat back where I call home
And I might smoke myself silly, but I find my smile
I quit my fighting, wasn't worth my time no more
When the whiskey would flow, and all was right, that's when we loved the most.
But when the calendar and money crept in, there was no room anymore for friends doing stupid things.
So if you wanna walk away like that, there's an open door with a welcome mat back where I call home
And I might smoke myself silly, but I find my smile
I quit my fighting, wasn't worth my time no more

Rest your Mind
04:41
|

|
Roll slowly when you roll sweetheart
Take your time and pull the petals all apart
Counting all your bad dreams just a part of something good
In the daylight, take your coffee black as night
In your stage fright, take a breath, it's all alright
Counting all the ones it takes to get you through the night
Rest your mind right here
Rest your mind right here
when the monsters draw near
Rest your mind right here
So later on now with the worries off your chest
You talk of grandma and all the things that she did best
Counting all the ones you think you'll pass on to the next
Rest your mind right here
Rest your mind right here
when the monsters draw near
Rest your mind right here

Closer
03:26

Don't you wanna say some different words?
Don't you wanna take a different road?
Don't you wanna say some different thoughts?
Even if they shake up what you know?
Don't you wanna see the same thing, but from all the different points of view?
I could show you what I hide away. You could show me what you're hiding too.
We could be so much closer now, let me see your heartsrings.
I could hold them like a tether, keep me safe and sound in my dreams.
We could be so much closer now, let me see your heartstrings.
We could tangle them together, then we'll pull 'em tight and let 'em sing.
Don't you wanna smoke a different leaf?
don't you wanna drink some different booze?
don't you wanna find the sacraments, all the secrets we've been dying too?
Don't you wanna let your feelings be something we can talk about?
I'll tell you all that I can live with. You tell me all that you can't live without.
We could be so much closer now, let me see your heartsrings.
I could hold them like a tether, keep me safe and sound in my dreams.
We could be so much closer now, let me see your heartstrings.
We could tangle them together, then we'll pull 'em tight and let 'em sing.

Crooked Canyon
03:54

There's a crooked canyon that winds its way to your heart.
There's a crooked canyon that winds its way to your heart.
And I could walk it in the moonlight, I could walk it in the rain,
When the water rises up it soon will drain...
There's a crooked canyon that winds its way to your heart.
There's an old oak tree that stands its ground inside your mind.
There's an old oak tree that stands its ground inside your mind.
I could climb up in the branches, while the roots are down below,
and though the wind blows strong, I'm steadfast as I know...
There's an old oak tree that stands its ground inside your mind.
There's a starry sky that shines to set your spirit free.
There's a starry sky that shines to set your spirit free.
I could look at it forever, though I'll never see the end.
when I look at you that feeling comes again.
There's a starry sky that shines to set your spirit free.

Sleeping Heart
03:10

We might even make it out if just a little
we'll kick and shout, right through the middle of it, I don't care...
long as you are there.
I've seen the rain cloud in the desert
The pain works out, I can feel much better 'bout it, I don't care...
long as you are there.
So wake up your sleeping heart
We'll make up a brand new start
and I know the greatest part is what we're still missing
I wonder why we can't get together
We try again, and we could see each other in another light
I still don't know what's right
We might even make it out if just a little
kick and shout through the goddamn middle of it, I don't care...
long as you are there.
So wake up your sleeping heart
We'll make up a brand new start
and I know the greatest part is what we're still missing
and we wonder why we sleep for half our lives
but we don't talk about the dreams we have at night
So wake up your sleeping heart
We'll make up a brand new start
and I know the greatest part is what we're still missing
