Caprice
03:32

Left star city for the city of angels
found a beat up amp to make my jangle
wrote about a love lost, emotional tangle
now i’m a sad boy, a sad sad boy
traded the angels for a star temple
drive an hour or so south
another city of angels
where i met a girl, half way around the world
turned this boy into a cool, cool toy
remember driving around, with the windows down
all over town
in your caprice classic
the Weddoes blasting
i didn’t lose you
you lost me
not one time, not twice
but three
in and out of love we swing
well, have your caprice
years flew by like a work day deadline
now you’re hitting me up with mementos
and time lines
as if i could forget the girl that taught me
to regret
but i’m walking just fine don’t need to retrace my steps
remembered you were the answer
to a question i never asked
when i was a boy
who thought your caprice classic
was a mobile blaster
with only three functioning doors
but now if you’re driving by
don’t say hi
don’t blink an eye
take that caprice classic
put metal to the gas
and drive
maybe i didn’t like what i saw in you inside me

Taking the Bliss
04:30
|

and it seems like such a long time now
waiting for the fall
I can see the leaves are turning brown
waiting for you to call
I kept myself so busy while
spinning my yarn
I made myself so dizzy
my arms almost fell off
but I won't take this
I need to know your answer
are you taking the bliss?
to quietly pass up?
don't you see I'm standing right here
for happy ever after?
hello, is there anybody in there?
confided in a mantis today
just to hear myself talk
she responded in her usual way
bit my head clean off
so I swept out all of the dragon flies
that came in for a kip
they told me they could walk out just fine
and I fell for it
but I won't take this
I need to know your answer
are you taking the bliss?
to quietly pass up?
don't you see I'm standing right here
for happy ever after?
hello, is there anybody in there?
get what you give
guess what you made me
get what you give
guess what you
made me turn my head right around
get what you give
guess what you made me
get what you give
guess what you
made me pull the thorns out of my crown
but I won't take this
I need to know your answer
are you taking the bliss?
to quietly pass up?
don't you see I'm standing right here
for happy ever after?
hello, is there anybody in there?

Good Times
02:46
|

|
i was a ship wreck
lost at sea
i couldn’t find my way back through waves of memories but now
good times
are back again
she was the diamond
on the shores of great salt lakes
i was the muddy water mouth breather
that shiver and shakes
was looking at the sky but never learned to scrape
im falling up
wrap me up
in
good times
are back again
forgive me my sticky sweet
there are things in life i can’t wrap my silly little head around
these thoughts that make me feel so cheap
turn on the bright lights
turn me on like night lights
never ever want to come down
good times
are back again

Dead Inside
05:18
|

|
dead inside
nothing but a ticking clock
nowhere left to hide
no way to ever make it stop
dead inside
memories in a rusty tin
infected wood bark eyes
the little engine that said he can’t
but i’d take this world
if you took me
it’s the only joy
this life could bring
dead inside
blood and bones in the hollows
looking up at the sky
perched on my throne down below
but i’d take this world
if you took me
it’s the only joy
this life could bring
a part of me wants to believe that
your love will save me
but if you turn your back for one second babe
you’ll see i’m not worth saving
so so dead inside
so so dead inside
so so dead inside
so so dead

Speaker Box
03:42

where did the time go
now?
drained into a book you left at my house
all of those memories
it’s clear
there’s no doubt
i love you
let me shout
from my speaker box
whenever your time is free
come around
come see me
so many things
i’ve got to tell you
it’s clear
there’s no doubt
i love you
let me shout
everything that got in the way
faded quickly into the grey
never signing out
from my speaker box

Take
03:56
|
|||
|
take me back
take this chance on me
i know
your friends will laugh
but there’s not much left in this world
i know
everything like this must
and will pass
take me back
let’s follow summer before i
get off track
and end up slumped in a memory
lost to schemes and dreams
with pornographic themes
take me back
to a time when the fuzz felt warm
not fade to black
begging to be still in the eyes of storms
that blow my soul back
with a laugh
take me back
take me back
take

tired bones for a soft home
something i can call my own
now, please
velvet to the touch i need
coax my soul
with the sound of sweet, sweet
melody
maybe it’s just that i haven’t always been the best me
but oh, lord, how i’ve tried
maybe it’s all the lies i tell myself to stay afloat
in your eyes
maybe, just maybe, my luck ran out
i’m burning alive
now
a good home
for these tired bones
and how
lay me softly
on the bed i made
how do you see
i am not my mistakes?
not just another junkie with my moan and aches
tied to the apron of a mother that ain’t
so
maybe it’s just that i haven’t always been the best me
but, oh, lord, how i’ve tried
maybe it’s all the lies i tell myself to stay afloat
in your eyes
maybe it’s the need to have these holes define me
like some fucked up child
maybe it’s just that i’m learning now
it’s never too late for love
easy now
you’re only just finding out
go slow
make your heart a home
why carry on like this?
when the water can wash your sins?
it’s never too late for love…
easy now
you’re only just finding out
go slow
make your heart a home
why carry on like this?
turn your back around from the wind
it’s never too late for love…

You Are Mine
09:09
|
|||
|
in the inbetween of a dream
i ask the keyboard to be sensitive
siri, please be kind
all alone, on my own
i get lost in my hesitance
be truthful with my lies
there’s no man in the mirror
with aging lines of permanence
i see a child
stumbling, fumbling
an orphan of remembrance
you are mine
you are my light
you are my shadow
sometimes a shell
a special kind of hell
a dancing moon glow
and i will carry on down this road
i am the only mine that i know
let it fall
be it all
let it go
sometimes, late at night
i feel this awful fright
like i am falling
i am failing you
plugged in my jesus night light
gotta grip on what’s left to make it right
i am telling
i am telling you
are mine
you are my light
you are my shadow
a funny valentine
for all of the nights
i sit and sing alone
sometimes a shell
a special kind of hell
a strange sensation
you are the wind
you are the steam
the air that i choke on
and i will carry on down this road
i am the only mine that i know
let it fall
be it all
let it go
hopped up on a warm strange air called love
got mother mary and joseph pushing drugs
if i be the mountain top
mount the top of this love
gonna splash this life with everything i got
hopped up on a warm strange air called love
