- Another Country
Lost hours and secrets too,
No one will find but you,
Falling is like brand new rain,
Places I have never been,
I thought these things would come to me.
Love is another country, and I want to go -
I want to go too. I want to go with you.
- Bird Of Freedom
Where were you when the plane went down?
When the president was born,
When they founded this town.
She was standing out back, she could hardly hear the band.
My bird of freedom with a gun in her hand.
Have you seen the parade in her eye?
- Diamond Shoes
Don't you know that the angels, in some wild and secret heart,
Doubt for those who get the wrong things and those who want to get caught.
You don't have to doubt no more. You don't have to count on crying.
No one can win a heart like yours, but damned if he ain't trying.
Put on your diamond shoes,
Put on your diamond shoes,
The ones you talk about, that sine brand new.
- Keep You Happy
The sky is turning and longing
for something far away.
The moon's a tear drop,
see slowly as it falls away.
Miles running down a face,
Everything's bound to change,
It's bound to change.
Day breaks of tenderness,
- Live Till You Die
I have to say the things I feel, I have to feel the things I say.
See the sun rising in the east, welcome warms days,
Feel my heart pounding every time we're alone, babe.
Everything around me has been changing so,
I can't let go, oh no.
You must live till you die,
You must fight to survive.
- Mixtape
You, how did you get so wise?
I take the advice I find in your eyes.
Me, I’ve been waiting outside
Most of my life,
Oh like a rare b-side.
I’m just making you mixtapes with homemade covers.
Analog to show we’re lovers,
- Papercut
Under the skin,
But no further in.
I've seen it before.
I was hoping for more.
If I could choose,
I'd rather a bruise.
I'd just rather lose
- Six More Days of Rain
Everything is gray.
Gray is a cold steel train.
Weatherman is saying,
Six more days of rain.
Goodbye and good morning,
It all comes without warning.
1000 miles behind you,
- Still Not Home
Jesus at the table in the early morning,
Dad, I’ve been thinking I got to get born.
Got to mean something heavy to somebody somewhere.
I don’t know who I am but I can’t stay here.
I didn’t mean to stand up, I didn’t mean to daydream.
I didn’t want to hear it calling my name.
Regular life don’t suit me at all.
- Still Pretending
I hear you coming up the driveway
I tie a ribbon in my hair
Well, look who's come to see me
Funny, you always end up here
But it's still pretending
And it's still wrong
And I still can't tell my heart
- Stray Paper
I got a postcard with an old address,
A picture of Houston in a creased-up mess,
Just to remind me that it all went wrong,
Just to beat me up, just to turn me on.
Stray paper, stray paper, stray paper,
Burning in my hands.
- When I Cross Over
I don't want to talk to nobody.
Don't want to make no plans.
I'm so tired of this party.
I've had all my laughs.
[Chorus]
I'll send you something, when I cross over.
Something when I cross over.
