The Way You Look At Me
01:46

I know the way you look at me
it keeps me going
i love it when you tell me things and not quite notice
just how much it means to me
your lips stay frozen as you stare out to the sky
I know it's not a mystery
my heart's been stolen
it's like i've won the lottery every time I'm with you
when i know you're lying next to me
i feel at home in ways I can't define
Eyes part the sea
when you look at me
we'll take what we want if we can't get what we need
I know the way you look at

Learning To Swim

Her head's down back is straight
then her left hand's reaching...out in space
then her head turns, breathe, kick and turn
do it all again
His head's down back is straight
then his left hand's reaching...out in space
then his head turns, breathe, kick and turn
do it all again
its all compounding, I think I'm drowning
There's no turning back
you can't refreeze the icecaps
you can't control what others do
with empty words til your face is blue
my face is blue
our chances for advance is getting slim
so I'm learning, learning, learning, learning to swim
every tomorrow built on water so uh
if I can bother you
so you can show me (x2)
show me (x2)
Just like Kevin Costner said
and the voice inside Al Gore's head
"There's water water, everywhere"
and I'm only coming
up for air (x2) well
My head's down back is straight
then my left hand's reaching...out in space
then my head turns, breathe, kick and turn
do it all again
now that you know me
now that you've shown me
Here in the deep end with you (x2)
you (x3)
Here in the deep end with you (x2)

Sparkle Endlessly
04:21

I wanted to be friends and you honored my request
but i can't quite mend can't quite forget the times
i tried to wake up only to forget what it felt like to be loved
I never wanted to be alone
But now I'm beginning to think it will stay that way
the more i miss the shots i take i won't
do anything to change it from being that way
Sometimes I think i'd be much happier with the monkeys
swinging from trees, picking your hair out till it's clean
At night i wish i was down below swimming with the fish
by the barrier reef, coral sparkle endlessly for you and me
That's how it is it's the way its always been
it's just how i live how i forget the times
i tried to wake up only to forget what it felt like to be loved
I never wanted to be at home
But now I'm beginning to think it will stay that way
the more i miss the shots i take i won't
do anything to change it from being that way
To be true to yourself compared to being alone in hell is not much better

Only
03:54

I know it's not the best you got
you're either breaking down or folding
and so it goes i'm a domino
falls without a warning
You're the only light I want to turn on
You're the only, without you I just fade on
I know it's not the way you thought
as you kick it in the morning
and so it goes i told you so
you'd leave without a warning

Open Ocean
03:51
|

|
Another island in the sea
isolated, but not underneath
there aint no jurisdiction
aint no benediction
I see the bubbles, can't hear the whispers
Open ocean is where we float
anywhere the trade winds blow
Open ocean is where we float
float (x2)
where ever the trade winds blow
float
Sunken treasure is in her hands
crumbles once, she gets to land
there's logic underwater
chaos in the light
ice is melting drowning towers of pride
Open ocean is where we float
anywhere the trade winds blow
Open ocean is where we float
islands in the sea isolated but not under (4) -neath
where ever the trade winds blow...blow
where ever the trade winds blow...you float
float (x2)

In The Park, In The Sun
03:37
|
|||
|
Open my mouth, so hard to swallow
bury it down and stuff it real low
keep to yourself, beg and you barrow
do what you will to escape the sunlight
Take me down, bury me underground
where i can stretch out
where i can escape the sunlight
Open my eyes, so hard to see you
being alone is being alive
when nobody knows what's buried inside you
stuff it real low and escape the sunlight
you always seem like you don't want to be here
in the park, in the sun you act like you're at the job fair
or need cab fare just be there
in the park, in the sun
wrapped up in sunlight
doing the things you might
doing the things you like to
been looking forward and behind
right here is all that's on my mind
and you'll meet me there

The Best Thing
03:54
|
|||
|
I wished that I kissed you
in moonlight, in clear view
i froze up and you froze up
in the freezing air outside my house
it's not often i feel this
around you a stillness
that soaks up and you soak up
all the awful things left in my head
I don't want to hurt you
but somehow i still do
i fuck up and i fuck up
and it's hard for us to make amends
All I know the wind, the snow
means nothing it means nothing
all i see is you and me
and it's the best thing
You're so obsessed with the ending
you move away not ready

I Know I Slept
03:48
|
|||
|
Brothers set the table and your sisters bake
your mom's passed out upstairs and you know
she's bound to break
I was ever hopeful back in those days
but sooner or later everyone's hope slowly fades
I know I Slept but I can't say I ever dreamt
She came over at a quarter to four
and we made out in a tent pitched in my backyard

Elevator World
03:51
|
|||
|
Wanted to go but never came
I wanted to cry out too
want you to feel the same way
wanted to go another day
wanted to go back to when I didn't know my own name
But i crush more than i wanted to
but i can't quite notice when
you gotta let me know
we go up and down this elevator world
you gotta let me know, you gotta let me go
Boiled in sweat or soaked in rain
all the excuses that live inside my own brain
nothing i say will ever change
my choice between you and my own personal gain
But i crush more than i wanted to
but i can't quite notice why
you gotta let me know
I confess I didn't do my best
Things i said wish i meant, things i want didn't get
and I believe present company, is a lie i define
is a lie
Come on

Searching...researching...
Well its time to pretend
I aint a means to an end
my head is feeling weak
from painting the brown grass green
There's an ocean in-between what they say and mean (x2)
Its hard to comprehend
this scavenger hunt that never ends
They're talking like they know the truth
and now I wanna see the proof
what I want in record time
what I need to be defined
online with the algorithm blues again
Searching...researching...re:.. re:..
Absolution its in reach
just trade the forest for the trees
and the rabbi says
"the elephant's alive when we align" (x2)
when the windows turn into mirrors
we divide...and the elephant dies
They're talking like they know the truth
and now I wanna see the proof
what I want in record time
what I need to be defined
online with the algorithm blues again
Running outta running outta running outta mind
Running outta running outta running outta lies
Running outta running outta running outta time...rhymes...mind
