You
Long Division Exit
Here I am once again/Same shop and same table
Thinking ‘bout how the way things change
Cup of joe then I’ll go/Take you with me for my dreams
So I won’t have to hear you say no
It’s a dead weight scene / And it’s high time to leave
Seems that nothing / Ever changes in me
Now it’s dawn and I’m gone/It’s raining outside my door
Fine way for my search to begin
Walk the town circlin’ round/Passed the same store five times
Getting late must be homeward bound
And I wonder / How would it be
If you said / That you’d seen me
And I wonder / What I’d say
If you finally / Made my day
How would I / Finally feel
If you offered / Love for real
It’s a dead weight scene / And it’s high time to leave
Seems that I keep / Heading back to you
Drenched
Trying to find a way to make a way when there is no way to survive
If you could give me just one day, we’ll try to make it out alive
Honey take my hand let’s run away, to the other side
Baby tramps like us just ain’t ok, in nobody’s eyes
One more day / In this drenched town / One of us, will die
This town’s been the death of many before, and it won’t be that to me
Honey take my hand let’s hit the floor, run away from this century
& California may be lore, but it won’t be till we see
So suck it up and deal, nous sommes tres ennuye
One more day / In this drenched town / One of us, will die
Trying to find a way to make a way when there is no way to survive
If you could give me just one day, we’ll try to make it out alive
You know I’ve wanted to give it up, a couple times before
But baby if you’re running with me, I think that we could hit that door
One more day / In this drenched town / One of us, will die
No Caroline
Come a little closer now and see what I’ve got for you here
Come a little closer now, you ain’t got nothing to fear
The signs all decide where I’m heading this time
We hit the ground running and we’re doing just fine
You get what I need and I got what I just sent to you
Oh no Caroline
Come and take it easy now, this could take all day
Come and take it easy now, we both got a lot to say
No one’s around but I still hear the sound
You say you’re not above all this, so why you looking down?
Break my back, take me home, and tell me everything will be just fine
Oh no Caroline
Come a little closer now and see what I’ve got for you here
Come a little closer now, we both got a lot to fear
No one’s around but I still hear the sound
You say you’re not above all this, so why you looking down?
Break my back, take me home, and tell me everything will be just fine
Oh no Caroline
Portland
Well Portland I miss you / It’s been days since I felt you close
And the hours between us / Are making me drink from my toes
Well Portland I do miss you / What a time for us to meet
Pushing our ways to the brink / We’d rely on each other
Like a sister and a brother / Or a drunk and his lover
It’s a wonder I’m writing / Can’t remember the last time we spoke
I hope you can hear me / Through my words and my gentle jokes
Today I feel like running / I’d like to tell you your meaning
To you in the eyes of me / But discover my leanings
In the past we were partners / But you pushed me over the line
Dying on that highway / Reach deep for another time
Well Portland I do miss you / What a time for us to meet
Pushing our ways to the brink / We’d rely on each other
Like a sister and a brother / Or a drunk and his lover
Gale
Hold me down to the ledger and sign my hand
Get away from the winter, run if you can
Seek a pirate of industry you can trust
Spend your time writing sonnets, but don’t make a fuss
Take me down to the quarry and waste my time
Lead the way toward the drive-in and blow my mind
Take your time hiding codes up in my face
Well I don’t care what you do, just get out of my place
Well now Suzy ain’t that pretty, but if you concentrate on living,
there’s a lot I got going, but still something going wrong
And the hardest thing I know right now is where to go to bed when the road ends
Hold me down the ledger and sign my hand
Get away from the city, run if you can
I pick a bottle, decide my home
I’m running blind, no sight of my home
If there’s a right way to run, I sure as hell don’t know how
Well now Suzy ain’t that pretty, but if you concentrate on living,
There’s a lot I got going, but still something going wrong
And the hardest thing I know right now is where to go to bed when the road ends, when the road ends
Vicodin Dreams
I’m having I’m feeling vicodin dreams / I’m loving I’m keeping my doctor close
I know a man who claims nothing’s true / That matters what’s real
My entrée my dinner of hearty fuel / My stomach my organs full of pills
You know someone that I know / That flies higher than the plains
On Tuesday next Tuesday I’ll pay you / For this day for a burger on this day
Cause we know a woman that knows / She can’t beat her life
Its Friday it’s finally the end of hell / Its gonna its gonna be my end
Cause I know a man and woman / That die tonight
Circles
Oh so amazing to start off with blazing a trail behind that’s riddled with bridges so many ditches to my right and left I still can’t believe how I feel so deft when I shake when I sing and cry when I pray to what I don’t know I can’t quite think of any big words to say what I feel cause I only know about 30 words and this one I’ve saved it’s saved just for you
The clocks all control our actions we roll onto the next thing with visions so blind in my spiraling mind our houses they crumble down hills so proud that I never thought could be so loud it’s deafening noise can stop my thoughts as I fall down down to my knees and wonder out loud how could I be so proud?
To think that I, I alone could be the only one that could ever see this striking beauty that is so clear and is so large and in front of me as vines intertwine to bury me down and strangle me now as I finally say I’m sorry to all to God and my Ma to Dad and my pals and my family for not respecting the love in my heart and trying to be the center of all these circles I claim to own just for me
Unwind
I’ve been running away so long/I get the feeling the time has come and gone
To where they’ll say “hey bay, come back home”
I’ve been riding the train since dawn/I get to wonder if I would have left at all
If I had known that I’d be going alone
You take it day by day, you think you’ve figured someone out
But then along comes another way to lead their feeble mind astray
You’re taking down that song, so don’t you tell me nothing’s wrong
When you call out someone’s name, aw hey hey hey
I’ve been thinking of common sense/I’ve been thinking of pressing all my luck
But then what happens if I get stuck?
All your life you worked at a pet store/trying to figure out somewhere to go
But I won’t know babe, if you don’t show
You take it day by day, you think you’ve figured someone out
But then along comes another way to lead their feeble mind astray
You’re taking down that song, so don’t you tell me nothing’s wrong
When you call out my name
Will I drive up on the house to find you wanted to unwind?
Should I let this go?
Cause everybody know just which way I want to roll
Will I drive up on the house to find you wanted to unwind?
So I let go
Cause everybody know just which way I want to roll
Violet
The sunset shines over treetops/And fills this porch with light I’ve never seen
You turn to me and grin/It seems I’ve never seen you happy to be in pain
A violet sky it fills your eyes/And shines down on my skin
Lets me know how much I die/When I look at your grin
You say I’m everything / I’m everything to you
But I know it, I see it everyday / That’s just not true
You call me every night when the sun goes down/I answer my phone and frown
Your face it stares at my soul/Behind the glass in a frame upon my wall
My Son is Sane
I wonder why you waste your time on a face as old as mine
I get the feeling you’d try to sell us out for a crime on a dime
And when you’re underneath my room, it’s all that I can do
I’d like to think I’m not proud, but that’s not true
My son is sane and I walk just fine, though some may say I got no spine
And it’s not half as bad as yesterday, though I seem to recall I don’t care anyway
Take a look into my face, outside of someone’s home
It makes no difference to me, I’m out of my private zone
But still I wake up to sidelong glances, I know it’s something I can’t steal
Even though those street signs still reflect how I feel
My son is sane and I walk just fine, though some may say I got no spine
If I had half as much as you today, I’d go back home and I think I’d stay
My son is sane and I walk just fine, though some may say I got no spine
And it’s not half as bad as yesterday, though I seem to recall I don’t care anyway
You
You’re keeping the friends that you wanted to hide
You walk into a room and you piss on the line
But I don’t know what you want me to say
You think you feel something, it’s all in your mind
You’re better off running, who knows what you’ll find
But I don’t care if you want me to stay
You’re going too slow and the rides on the line
You’re picking and sinning and waste all the wine
But I don’t care if you want me to stay
You think I’m alright if I stay on the time
I’m sick of this thinking that I can’t make up my mind
If I don’t get out now, Hell is gonna get paid
And it comes in ones and threes and twos
And I lose, I lose, I lose
And I cry while you try to bend
But when I break you don’t mend, I see you run to another friend
And I guess that I still don’t understand
No I can’t understand
I see it coming in threes and twos and ones
And it runs, and runs, and runs
And I cry while you try to bend
But when I break you don’t mend, I see you run to another friend
And I guess that I still don’t understand
No I can’t understand
