Dead Weight
04:06
|
|||
It’s echo street all the way
Past la vaquita by the freeway
Feeling like it’s a mistake
You and I can’t change things
I used to think we were ok
Now you talk the cruelest
You make it your own way
And you leave me to
Carry the dead weight
Just a couple kids from the red clay
We used to have fun
That’s what we’d say
I didn’t mean to push you so far
You and I can’t change things
I used to think we were ok
Now you don’t do you
You make it your own way
And you leave me to
Carry the dead weight
You talk the cruelest
You make it your own way
And you leave me to
Carry the dead weight
It’s just space
And falling slowly into it
It’s just space
You were someone I could hold onto
Weightless
It’s echo street all the way
Past the ymca
Feeling like it’s a mistake
Being seen in your own way
I used to think we were ok
Now you don’t do you
You make it your own way
And you leave me to
Carry the dead weight
You talk the cruelest
You make it your own way
You leave me to
Carry the dead weight
I’ll be seeing you around
What does your heart say now

Cape Elizabeth
03:28
|

Out on the rocky cliff
Staring out to begin
Smell of the brackish wind
Take it with you and let’s get in
Are we just having fun
Either way I may run
Away from something I depend
The water’s cold until you swim
Take it with you and let’s get in
Sea sand and stars
Circling back on the dock
Your eyes in the fading light
What am I gonna do
The deepest blue
Swimming sand and stars
Circling back on the dock
Your eyes in the fading light
What am I gonna do
The deepest blue
In the cove where the bells sound
There’s a few fisherman
Last days of summer amen
Take it with you and lets get in
Green grass on the hill
The seagulls are loud and shrill
Here in Cape Elizabeth
The water’s cold until you swim
Take it with you and let’s get in

I Don’t Believe in You
03:17
|
|||
I don’t believe in you
Some others do
Floating in the blue
Highland Avenue
Pen knife you carved our names
A.R. forever D.J.
I don’t believe in you
Some others do
Trains pulling the freight
Sweeping out my room
Floating in the lake
Without you
You won’t believe where I am
You should see it out here
Someday
I don’t believe in fate
Some others do
Floating in the blue
Highland Avenue
Suddenly a thought pierces you
And I get so sad
Cause we’re through
I don’t believe in you
Some others do

Letdown
02:51
|
|||
We know it now when we’re out walking around
Waiting in lines checked out
I know it sucks when you’re coming down
Thinking maybe it’s over
And it’s gonna be a letdown
There’s a trail we can take
Winter stars a stomach ache
Then I get on down my way
Couple of wrinkled shirts in a bag waking up in LA
Thinking maybe it’s over and it’s gonna be a letdown
In the quiet secret night
Who you are you do not know
We walk slow with our hands in our pockets
And for a long time we talked
Til you became a legend
And your breathing timeless
I know it sucks when you first find out
Mornings are colder
In our town
Baby it’s over and it’s gonna be a letdown

Never Next Time
05:11
|
|||
I see you hiding in there
Behind your art piece life shit
Nearly lost everything
If I could only open my mouth
Why must we always give in
Half strangled like this
Clear blue sky
Babe I could just die
Cold morning light
I may never know why
Lonely satellite
Never next time
Cigarette smoke haze
Hung around our heads
In an ancient hotel bar
I let my guard down
Haven’t laughed so hard in years
I dive I swim I float
Clear blue sky
Babe I could just die
Cold morning light
I may never know why
Lonely Satellite
Never next time
We slept with the window open
We could see the boats coming in
We watched the fireworks go out
Wake up it’s time to leave
And stand on the sidewalk alone
Why must we always give in
It’s useless not wanting you
Clear blue sky
Babe I could just die
Cold morning light
May never know why
My pathetic heart
No way to say goodbye
Lonely satellite
Never next time

Free Rein
02:51
|
|||
If you see my raven haired girl down by the Eno bank
Singing songs in the North Carolina way
A few crooked teeth
A few dreams delayed
Steady yourself babe
Free Rein
Coastal byways with the wind at your face
Travel the cosmos to find your place
And it’s brilliant getting lost along the way
Steady yourself babe
Free rein
Fog drifts below the mountain range
Dogs barking tethered on a chain
When you’re alone out in the freezing rain
When you lose your way
Choking on the dust of what you wanna say
Sweeping out the days
Torn away
Deep into a corner you no longer relate
When you feel your plan’s in vain
Steady yourself babe
When you feel your heart hesitate
Steady yourself babe
When you lose your way
Sweet as sugar cane
When you need a hand
They look the other way
Free rein

Along the Outskirts
04:38
|
|||
Along the outskirts
Looking up at a cold new world
You beat yourself up back there
So you cross the razor’s edge
You’re gonna lose everything
Just gain a vision
Of a dream of a love of a light that can’t be named
And the wind’s always blowing in your face
There’s a train tumbling to another place
If you saw me walking by
You’d ask yourself why
How did we get through that
We didn’t belong there
Just a couple of kids dreaming
And hurting in New York City
Minds lost in the haze
Machines thrashing for days
Progress is always fleeting
My pathetic heart keeps beating
Honey’s broken on the bowery
And it’s raining in Brooklyn
Turn out the light and just keep walking
And the wind’s always blowing in your face
There’s a plane flying to another place
If you saw me walking by
You’d ask yourself why
How did we get through that
We didn’t belong there
Just a couple of kids dreaming
And hurting in New York City
In a tear stained voice hardly mine
No gracefulness no thoughtful charm
So adrift
A sharper emptiness
On the outskirts
Looking up at a cold new world
You beat yourself up back there
Now the gypsy’s laughing
You cant stop whats happened
And you close the door to a room
You spent your city life in
If you saw me walking by
You’d ask yourself why
How did we get through that
We didn’t belong there
Just a couple of kids drinking
And hurting in New York City
Just a couple of kids dreaming

I’m Your Baby
03:13
|
|||
I met her at the reynard
She was pouring coffees
I’m feeling scarred
Red blouse lipstick to match
Cold rose glass
Green eyes so deep
I’m blown away
Can hardly breathe
Sun cast shadows cold may morning
Through tall cafe windows
I don’t need to save you
You don’t have to love me
You just have to see me
I’m your baby
Put five dollars in the jukebox
I don’t know where I’m going
I’ve seen what people can do
To the beauty in my dreams
Last two cigarettes
Don’t save anything
Imperfections beguiling
You ain’t going home yet
I don’t need to save you
You don’t have to love me
You just have to see me
I’m your baby
Sparrow in her mouth
You’re all I think about now

Never Gonna Get It
03:34
|
|||
I’m never gonna get it
Scared me what I need
But you’re free now babe
Driving away from me now
Sunglasses on
Windows down alone
This is goodbye
It scared me
What I need
I’m never gonna get it
I was weak with longing
I was in mid air
Didn’t I do ya babe
Something that I whispered in your ear that day
We were on our way
This is goodbye
It scared me
What I need
I’m ever gonna get it
What I need
It scared me
And Im never gonna get it

Getting Back to It Now
05:29
|
|||
Distant lights
The snow bashed streets
Ticket for the turnpike
Slap of the wiper blades
My fortune’s my reflection
In Lake Pontchartrain
I’m getting back to it now
Headed south to find out
Frost on the windshield
Aftermath mix tape
Dead highway flowers
Slowly changing lanes
Blackberry pie
Don’t it taste great
And I’m getting back to it now
I’m headed south to find out
Under spanish moss
My love awaits
Goodbye Maria
My one true saint
And all the beautiful songs
There was no other way
My fortune’s my reflection
In Lake Pontchartrain
And I’m getting back to it now
I’m headed south to find out
Getting back to it now
I’m headed south to find out
