Army

I think I’m sinking
I think I’m sinking
I’m fighting the flow
I keep on thinking
I keep on thinking
I’m forgetting the things I know

Like that it comes and it goes
Ebbs and it flows
And nobody knows why

You try
But you cannot get your arms around it
You cannot get your arms around it

I’ve seen too much to forget
Too little to accept
And if I were wise
I might just close my eyes
Cause I don’t understand it
But I can’t rubberband it
And file it away for a rainy day

Just ‘cause it comes and it goes
Ebbs and it flows
Still I want to know why

You try
But you cannot get your arms around it
You cannot get your arms around it

It’s so much to ask
An impossible task
Learning to love and to make it last

I think I’ve proved it
I cannot do it all alone
So heaven don’t wait
Won’t you open your gates?
Send an army of hope
For this old soul of stone

Because it comes and it goes
Ebbs and it flows
And God only knows why

I try, but I cannot get my arms around it
Cannot get my arms around it

Helpless Hopeless

Today is a day for making vows
No more doubt
Even though I can’t see a way
I can’t see how
Still I will press forward like a warrior
But I need some help

I am helpless hopeless
Grab ahold and never let go of me
I am helpless hopeless
I’m so glad to know you know me
but I need some help

Today is a day for letting go
Of promises I’ve broken
And words that I have spoken
When really I don’t know

I remember the time I almost died
I smoked myself up way too high
I wrapped myself around mama’s feet
My heart was beating so quickly
I wondered, Could this be the end?
Is this where everything begins?
Should I let go of my mind
And leave this all behind?

Ivy

She says she’s pressed reset
Since last time that we met
A gesture of regret
But I don’t believe it
Her colors they change
But her brilliance remains
From bronze into green
It’s the prettiest thing

And she’s wrapped around me like ivy

It seems like each time
That I’ve left her behind
I take with me a picture
A permanent kind
It seems I can’t leave her
My mirrors they see her
Much closer to me
Than she appeared to be
I never did know why I never let go
But the longer it goes
Oh the stronger it grows

‘Cause she’s growing on me like ivy

She’s making me question
Everything that I am
In a world that’s without her
Am I able to stand?
She’s dusting me off
She’s shaking me clean
She shows me she knows
All the things that I mean
Oh, she holds me

I sat in the sofa we gave in to love in
The day after she left
I chose a position allowing her
To rest her head
And though she wasn’t there
I still saw her I swear
In the candle’s light
Dancing for me just like always
For just me to see

Try to take her away
No I would not complain
‘Cause full sun or full shade
Yeah we still got it made
‘Cause she’s planted in me like ivy
She’s wrapped around me like ivy
She’s growing on me like ivy
She’s gonna be green like ivy

Separate

Try to separate it
You can try to separate it
Try to separate it
But no luck if no love

I love you so, we’ll take it slow
I want to know you, not just getting lucky
But you say, “Let’s have fun for a short run,”
And so you say you’ll try to separate it

Welcome You Into My Head

Welcome you into my head
you’ll be spending your time here
At least until I’m dead
Which could grip on all your years
Welcome you into my head
All the rooms are quite unkept
And I never make the bed

Welcome you into my head
Welcome you into the storm
Just bring a parasol
Scattered showers are the norm
Welcome you into my head
Here’s a copy of my key
Looks like you’ll be leading me

Home
Home
Maybe
Maybe
Maybe
If you come to stay
Right here with me
Maybe I won’t want to leave
My head

Look Love

You know you are beautiful to me
By the way that I look at you
And how I don’t say anything
If there’s something you mean
That you need me to know
By all means let it flow

But I’m closing my lips
I’ll open my eyes
And see your sunrise
Look love

You and I won’t communicate
Only with sounds
With verbs and nouns
We’ll show the world love
By the way we hold hands
By the way we laugh
And the way we stand
If there are things that we lack
Things that make us afraid
Watch how we’ll send them all away

I’m closing my lips
I’ll open my eyes
And see your sunrise
Look love
Look my love

You Used To

Used to live alone
Used to know how
Then you fall in love
And you can’t live without
One day it’s over
Alone with your heart
Now why are you where you are?
Get used to a feeling
Used to a friend
Start taking for granted
The sight and the scent
One day it’s over
Alone in your skin
How do you begin again?

Do you still think bad things
Do you still have bad dreams?
Do you lie wide awake
While the city’s asleep while you weep?

If you long to be longed for
If you ache to be craved
If you’re hoping for heaven
In a love that will never fall through
Me too
If you don’t you should know
The you that I knew used to
You used to

Used to live alone
Used to know how
Then you fall in love
And you can’t live without
One day it’s over
Alone with your heart
Why are we who we are?

It’s flooding your face
It’s looking like rain
There’s a look in your eyes
Like you can’t even cry
So you sigh, my my

If you long to be longed for
If you ache to be craved
If you’re hoping for heaven
In a love that will never fall through
Me too
If you don’t you should know
The you that I knew used to
You used to

Gardens and the Graves

You wanna go?
Don’t even say you don’t
Don’t even say you don’t
You don’t have to have a heavy heart like me
To see, to know, it’s time to go

I gotta leave, I gotta go
Where I don’t know
Can I make it on my own?
Oh but if I don’t
It’s just another day spent at home
Where even though my garden grows
It’s empty without you
And the weeds outnumber the roses
Ten to two

You wanna go?
Come on don’t say you won’t
Come on don’t say you won’t
You spend your whole life chasing money
Wasting time
Don’t you want to come alive?

We gotta leave, we gotta go
Where I don’t know
Can we make it on our own?
Oh but if I don’t
It’s just another day spent at home
Where even though my garden grows
It’s empty without you
And the weeds outnumber the roses
Ten to two

I want to be a good man
Oh I want to be strong
I want to help out with my hands
And grow my hair out long
Lose myself with a girl
Then come back and change the world
I want to be a good man
And help build heaven with my hands

We gotta leave, we gotta go
Where I don’t know
Can we make it on our own?
Oh but if we don’t
It’s just another day spent at home
A wide world we’ll never know
We will look back on this tomb one day
And say, my how our garden grew

Roads

Ooh babe, it’s a blue day
And I hope love lies down this road
There are hard days and dark days
And I know what lies down that road

Ooh babe, it’s a new day
And I hope love lies down this road
Oh my baby, love is in your eyes
Oh my baby, you’re beautiful and wise

But I don’t know which way to go
If God can save my soul, make me whole
Then I know love lies down this road

Long Wide Open

It’s a long wide open road
No signs that say
There’s only one way
That we can go
I still smell you where your perfume
Has faded into my coat

It’s a long way home
On a long wide open road

It’s a road that twists and winds
What a lovely time it is
To have you climbing right along side
So let those rules and regulations
Slip right out of your mind

It’s a long way home
On a long wide open road

It’s a long wide open road
Sister don’t you worry
‘Cause we ain’t in any hurry to get home
It’s like the red tips on the petals
Of a yellow rose
Yellow for the wayfare
And the red for what may happen
Down the road

Why wait?
Why not start?
Let’s don’t wait
We’ll just start
Like that note you wrote me
In the shape of a heart

It’s a long way home
What a shame it’d be to walk that way alone
