biding my time
waiting in line
if I choose to think, well the choice isn't mine
too late to redo or collect
the blame rests on my shoulders
deep in the woods its a figure of speech
the world starts to end or you start to believe
I'm tossing my thoughts and my cares
will I find what I wanted
what a long way this road goes
I didn't know what a long way this road goes
centuries pass, I'm curled up as can be
my favorite songs cannot help console me
this foreign land is binding my hands and I'm
cornered
what a long way this road goes
I didn't know what a long way this road goes
by now it's dark
too dark to tell
the weight of the world all our memories melt
together in one
one shot
one hit
one moment
what a long way this road goes
I didn't know what a long way this road goes

Already Gone

take
what you used to think of me
loneliness and heat
only two for me
now watch
as your picture sticks to the wall
see that it won't fall
its up for all to see
i think it might be wrong to pretend that you're not there
nevermind its fine i dont think you really care
i'm finding thast its hard what to part with all my jokes
harder even still to tell you on my own
cause you're already gone
this night is a waste of time
i'll take yours you'll take mine
but i still feel your eyes in the back of my head
its impossible to konw what to do
too late to guess
too late to prove
but i can't erase what i wrote under your desk
do i have a choice if i still care what you think
we never really change we just turn over our leaves
and if i had the chance to go back and hedge my bet
it woud be in vain you were gone before you left
already gone

Just by the Look of You

stuck in my homeground
like a rooted weed i'm not comin out
got no skills to sell
got even less to give but i mean well
Was this all forgot
i'm not a firefighter
i'm not an astronaut
Is a shoe or a shiny star
enough to feel something
im not on my own
far from the loneliest ol boy you've ever known
but i feel so small
pressed for times the things i thougt i knew all turn out wrong
Is this all a dream
How can i fix whats broken when whats broken cant be seen
I'm not losing what is in my head its in my heart
can i feel what i felt at the start
i wish that we could see
all the things we do
i think that then we wouldn't be obliged to fall
and if a bird can fly all day off to a place he never knew
then i can fall in love just by the look of you
hey girl take my hand
i know you hear this all the time
but i can fall in love by just the look of you
i know its commonplace
you prolly hear this everyday
but i can fall in love just by the look of you
just by the look of you

You're Not, I Am

i've grown tired of picking up my phone
just to see if you're alone
but you're not
and i am
i shoulda seen it a mile away
who am i to keep a bird in a cage
but you're not
and i am
and pardon me
if i had trouble watching you leave
you know I've never seen such a thing
and its not me
to hold onto something so carefully
now i'd do anything to just leave it be
i wanna move to a secluded beach
and live with people who are running from things
and i'm not...but i am
and if you dwell on the past you will get angry
there is nothing you can do to prevent bad dreams
except maybe smoking weed
or you can just not sleep
but honestly
there are times
when i feel i'm on the brink
but i don't know if it'll mean anything
so i write it down
and i try to sing
but i don't know if it will mean anything

even though time doesn't move in days
we must keep up the faith
and if you'll stay i'll stay
even if there's no other way
cause you can't check in and out again
can't expect me to carry on my friend
so you're hurt and lost your way
to wake and start the day
we'll never have to worry about that again
i'll see you soon my friend
cause you can't check in and out again
can't expect me to carry on my friend
you can't check in and out again

Heart of Gold

on the day i met you
you knew who i was
had the clear advantage
of not giving a fuck
and i know that they'd hate you
and i knew i was right
but the time had come
on that cold august night
they threw away a heart of gold
not the first time
did it start back in prejudice days
when a jealous choice mad a mockery
and a queen was forced to become king
well this has nothing to do with me
i'm friends with him not his family
well not necessarily
they threw away a heart of gold
not the first time
and no i won't thank you
i don't think this is ever one that i'll get through
i hated it now and i hated it then
its made me who i am
its rooted in my brain
am i inane
completely insane
they threw away a heart of gold
they threw away a heart as my own
