Seven Pieces
03:41
|

if we get any better
would you respond next time
don't forget that the simple no
is enough to satisfy
you see it gets so lonely
when you wait this long
losing count of the signals you send
maybe I'm doing this wrong
ooooooo
is anyone there?
ooooooo
I'm asking for a friend
you see I've starved myself
just to fit in this skin
I'm supposed to sell my soul
I don't know where to begin
ooooooo
is anyone there?
ooooooo
I'm asking for a friend
ooooooo
is anyone there?
ooooooo
I'm asking for a friend
is there a spell I should repeat?
how do you read your code?
how do I write in polite agitation
do all these dates have holds?
I'm going blind seeking the light
a proof of life, I'm looking for
seven pieces missing from a puzzle
seven days on a seven day tour
ooooooo
is anyone there?
ooooooo
I'm asking for a friend
ooooooo
is anyone there?
ooooooo
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend

How We See It Now
02:17
|
|||
oh the clock is ticking down
too close to call
we measured it in yards
out of reach just a touch too far
and how you see it now
is how I see it now
the marks we made will fade
like a city underground
with a secret we can keep
words without sound
and how you see it now
is how I see it now
wave goodbye to this place
wave goodbye to this place
and how you see it now
is how I see it now
and how you see it now
is how I see it now

Border
01:54
|
|||
I've tried everything I know
followed every rule you ever broke
some things just won't go
you are the thing I miss the most
I'm not sure that I know you now
you have gone so blue
I shut my eyes too tightly this time
fireworks and lightning shooting up in my eyes
if I lose my way, don't leave me behind
wait for me over the borderline
I'm not sure that I know you now
you have gone so blue
I'm not sure that I know you now
you have gone so blue

Leave It Alone
01:50
|
|||
the small waves pull you
farther away than you think they can
leave it alone, she said
wait until tomorrow and we'll figure out the rest
the sun burns through you
way deeper than you think it does
leave it alone, she said
wait until tomorrow and we'll figure out the rest
the grass grows over you
prettier than you can ever be
leave it alone, she said
wait until tomorrow and we'll figure out the rest
leave it alone, she said
wait until tomorrow and we'll figure out the rest

Afraid of the Fall
01:58
|
|||
it's a high wire act
getting to know you
I'm moving heel to toe
hoping I don't shake loose
I'm not afraid of the fall
with the lights in my eyes
I can't see my next move
and there's a ways to go
only one way to lose
I'm not afraid of the fall
I'm not afraid of the fall
can you see me, dear?
I'm looking for you
now the crowd is a blur
I'll be seeing you soon
I'm not afraid of the fall
it's a part of somebody's plan
I'm not afraid of the fall
I'm afraid of where I'll land
I'm not afraid of the fall
I'm not afraid of the fall

I Don't Wanna Know
03:22
|
|||
the last I heard
you had changed your course
and rearranged everything
like I was hoping for
I don't believe my eyes
'cause I trust my heart
you'd fall for anyone
walking home in the dark
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
you better bet your life
I've gotta love unchained
no one we've ever been before
will stand in our way
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
please tell me
you found a way
please tell me
we didn't break
so long since passed
when we held hands
tell me if you miss this
tell me so I can understand
I don't wanna know (please tell me)
I don't wanna know (please tell me)
I don't wanna know (please tell me)
I don't wanna know (please tell me)
I don't wanna know (please tell me)
I don't wanna know (please tell me)

Macon

the flowers on the table
look like they could use a drink
again I left the water
running in the sink
is someone talking to me?
I will answer, eventually.
the silverware is out
and piled in a mess
this looks like my home
what is the address?
is someone talking to me?
I will answer, eventually.
is someone talking to me?
is someone talking to me?
I can't remember
if I should remember you
the days are getting shorter
help me remember you
is someone talking to me?
is someone talking to me?
I will answer.
I will answer.
I will answer.
I will answer.
I will answer.
I will answer.

Universal Truce
02:36
|
|||
I fucked it up again
gave you what you needed
I made your troubles mine
and I know now you're naked
wrapped up in someone's arms
nearly awake, nearly gone
and all I really want tonight
is to slowly disappear
I spoke my peace so many times
no one seems to hear
so please be gentle with me
I break so easily
even deep silence leaves marks on me
and another turn I'll follow
making it up as I go
and I'm feeling sorry for myself
you see it's such a short trip
and we all know how it ends
me without you, me with shaking fists
and you're never gentle with me
you never seem to care
even as we drift by each other, year after year
and all I really want tonight
is to slowly disappear
I speak my peace so many times
you never seem to hear
you never seem to hear
no, you never seem to hear

There's a Reason
01:39
|
|||
there's a reason
I can't remember
the things that I forgot
I'm starting to think
that I will never die
there's a purpose
in finding out
what you don't like
I'm starting to think
that I will never die
there's a lesson
we'll have to learn
for ourselves
I'm starting to think
that I will never die
there's some people
we're all finding out
they're hard to love
I'm starting to think
that I will never die
I'm starting to think
that I will never die

Straight
02:20
|
|||
don't ask me
how I know
I will set it straight
one down
one to go
I will set it straight
I don't know if
I'll laugh again
or how I'll get away
I do the things
I say I'll do
I will set it straight
unanswered dreams
you gave to me
I will set it straight
you know you'll never
fade from me
I will set it straight
I don't know if
we'll dance again
or how we get away
I do things
I say I do
I will set it straight
don't ask me
why it's true
or how I got this way
I do the things
they say I do
I will set it straight

As Always
02:36
|
|||
I've been hearing
the words you're saying
and I've heard enough
even if you're speaking slowly
still it hurts too much
and as always
I'm too late
and as always
I think it can wait
and as always
I'm too late
and I know
you've been speaking my mind
but I don't sound like that
could you try to listen like me
and promise not to talk back
and as always
I'm too late
and as always
I think it can wait
and as always
I'm too afraid
missing cues
starting late
my lips
your face
and as always
I'm too late
and as always
I think it can wait
and as always
I'm too afraid
missing cues
and starting late
your hips
my faith
and as always
I'm too late
and as always
I think it can wait
and as always
I'm too afraid
and as always
and as always
and as always
and as always
