Hard Left Turns
03:34
|
|||
Another cup of coffee, jack me up, I’m your Frankenstein
Dropped another call to a long, lost valentine
And everybody’s talkin’ ‘bout love / everyone except us…
Those hard left turns / never felt so right
Those hard left turns / like a bump in the middle of the night
Dropped another tranny on the California state line
Call it ambition but we made it to the gig on time
And everybody’s doing their drugs / everyone except us…
Those hard left turns / never felt so right
Those hard left turns / like a bump in the middle of the night
And everybody’s watching TV / waiting on world war three…
Those hard left turns / never felt so right
Those hard left turns / like a bump in the middle of the night
Those hard left turns / never felt so right
Those hard left turns / keep me up in the middle of the night

Cry It All Out
03:46
|

You would have loved a day like today / the smell of fall and the beautiful way
The leaves drop… they find their own spot / you would have fell for the sun on your lap
At the park where we use to laugh / it was a heartbreak… not to see your face
Sometimes, the best I can do / is just cry, cry, cry, cry it all out
So I just cry, cry, cry, cry it all out / until I turn around
Oh what I’d give for an hour with you / Hold you so close I would break you in two
And I would kiss you… just give to you
You would tell me to never look back / Seek joy and forgive the past
And to look forward… but it so hurts
Sometimes, the best I can do / is just cry, cry, cry, cry it all out
So I just cry, cry, cry, cry it all out / until I turn around
There’s nothing like a clean burn after a long rain, through the joy and pain
There’s nothing like a freefall down memory lane
Sometimes, the best I can do / is just cry, cry, cry, cry it all out
So I just cry, cry, cry, cry it all out / until I turn around
You would have loved a day like today…

Well Alright
03:47

Oh you are a stubborn girl
wrapped up in a corporate world
and I'm an indie child, with a streak of wild
They gave us looks and they had their doubts
we were set to figure it out
I said, "we're different songs" you said, "won't it be fun?!"
Well Alright
Baby came right on time
there was no changing our minds
we didn't sleep for months but we did just fine
Oh I am a stubborn girl
wrapped up in a parent world
and you're an indie mom and your love is strong
Well Alright
You watch my hair turn gray
I kiss your wrinkled face
you hold my hand and say
I love you more and more and more and more each day
Well Alright
the silence is so loud tonight
there's an ocean on the kitchen tile
It won't be long until the storm is gone
Well Alright

On The Telephone
04:16
|
|||
Five more hours on the interstate
I would call but it’s so late
Send my love in a postcard
One hundred miles left to go
Another sip of coffee
And it’s ice cold
Send my love with a check home
And I’d be dreaming of you
If I could get some sleep
The distance is killing me
It’s breaking my heart
Breaking my soul
Breaking my days of rock n roll
And it’s hard to love you on the telephone
Another night in a small dive
The bartender thinks I’m so high
Like he’s never seen somebody cry
Don’t think I would give my hands to
The first person to bring me to you
What is wrong with my eyes?
And everybody needs someone
and everybody needs someone
and everybody needs someone
hey I wanna go home

Friendville

Oooh, this is new, the way that it moves / Oh, I should go, but chances are… I won’t
You wear the thorns of a crown / until you just wore them down
I’m gonna make this easy for you / I’m gonna make this easy for you
I’m gonna take it easy with you
And faith, showed up late, yet unfolded fine / and love, showed up drunk, perfectly on time
I wore these chains all around / until I just wore them down
I’m gonna make this easy for you / I’m gonna make this easy for you
I’m gonna take it easy with you
And I don’t wanna, I don’t, I don’t wanna, fade away
And I don’t wanna, I don’t, I don’t wanna, miss your face
And I don’t wanna, I don’t, I don’t wanna, walk the ledge
But I don’t wanna, I don’t, I don’t wanna, have to beg
I’m gonna make this easy for you / I’m gonna make this easy for you
I’m gonna take it easy with you

Sun Sky And The Moon
04:16
|

Just phone call away / Just a plane ride away
I’ll be running, I’ll be running, I’ll be running to you
And the further you go / the more that I know
I’ll be waiting; I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting on you
Don’t give up / don’t break down on the avenue
Don’t give up / it’s simple and its true
The sun, sky and the moon…
Just an ocean away / and the wind starts to change
So raise your hand to the tide that is pulling in you
And the further I roam / the more that I know
I’ll be catching a wave and crushing on you
Don’t give up / don’t break down on the avenue
Don’t give up / it’s simple and it’s true
The sun, sky and the moon…
I miss you so much, I’m a little sideways / I’m broken like the highway
Come on lover, just meet me half way / All I seem to love is a world away

Everywhere I Go
02:48
|

We feel free but we never go home / there’s a high end buzz on a never-ending road
The sun is warm and she’s kissing my throat / words through lines over telephone poles
A dirty smile from a trucker in red / St. Christopher around my neck…
Everywhere I go / everywhere I go / I’m home
Everywhere I go / everywhere I go / I’m home / I’m home
All we need is a Westerburg song / windows down with the radio on
The sun is warm and she’s kissing my hand / I’m in love with a traveling band
A dirty smile from a trucker in red / St. Christopher around my neck…
Everywhere I go / everywhere I go / I’m home
Everywhere I go / everywhere I go / I’m home / I’m home

String Theory
02:58

I am just a song in the universe / gone through the stratosphere
I’m nearly here on the earth
I am just a string full of synergy / god force energy / Burning, it’s my turn
Didn’t take so long, to figure it out / I found a home and I found my way out
A field of stars and I walk with the sun
I am just a song in the universe / gone through the stratosphere
I’m nearly here on the earth
I am just a string full of synergy / god force energy / Burning, cause it’s my turn
And I was higher than a quasar sun / I fell deep to the earth with a plunge
I feel my flesh / and my vibration is one
I am just a song in the universe / gone through the stratosphere
I’m nearly here on the earth
I am just a string full of synergy / god force energy / Burning, cause it’s my turn
I’m bosonic with intention / I’m quantum in a different dimension
I’m consistent with no resistance / subatomic in another existence

Breaking Up With Dreams
04:44
|
|||
Wake up and sing / Sit next to me
You can tell me things / the secrets you keep
Measure the time / the time that you died
Can you describe / How you came back alive
You’re like a puppet on a string / you broke the color tv
Wrapped your car around a tree / now you’re breaking up with dreams
You’re soaked and you’re sad / When you talk about the past
The stupid things he said / the days you never get back
You’re like a puppet on a string / you broke the color TV
Wrapped your car around a tree / now you’re breaking up with dreams
And I let you cry / A kids’ broken pride
A gap that’s so wide / you couldn’t cross if you tried
Fall apart hit your knees / It’s like you fell to be free
Breaks my heart just to see / you breaking up with dreams

It's Enough
02:53
|

You’re like a Jesus freak – inside of me
These new eyes are seeking out the joy
Like an angel’s wing – protecting me
These new arms are holding up the joy
And if the state ever lets us be free…
Please, please, please… don’t forget to marry me
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love, I’m in love, it’s enough
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love, I’m in love, it’s enough
You’re like an awesome song – coming on
I’m hearing tunes I never heard before
You’re a holiday, a brand new page
You’re in a book that I never read before
And everybody wants to feel release
And everybody wants to be this free
And if the state ever lets us be free…
Please, please, please… don’t forget to marry me
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love, I’m in love, it’s enough
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love, I’m in love, it’s enough
