K 8618501 ::Clarity:: I worry I weigh three times my body I worry I throw my fear around

But this morning, there’s a calm I can’t explain The rock candy’s melted, only diamonds now remain By the time I recognize this moment This moment will be gone But I will bend the light, pretend that it somehow lingered on And I will wait to find If this will last forever And I will wait to find If this will last forever And I will wait to find That it won’t and it won’t because it can’t It just can’t (It’s not supposed to) Was there a second of time that I looked around? Did I sail through or drop my anchor down Was anything enough to kiss the ground? And say I’m here now and she’s here now So much wasted in the afternoon So much sacred in the month of June How bout you And I will wait to find If this will last forever And I will pay no mind When it won’t and it won’t Because it won’t And I will waste no time Worried ‘bout no rainy weather And I will waste no time Remaining in our lives together

02 ::Bigger Than My Body:: This is a call to the color-blind This is an IOU I’m stranded behind a horizon line Tied up in something true Yes, I’m grounded Got my wings clipped I’m surrounded by all this pavement Guess I’ll circle While I’m waiting For my fuse to dry Someday I’ll fly Someday I’ll soar Someday I’ll be so damn much more Cause I’m bigger than my body gives me credit for Why is it not my time? What is there more to learn? Shed this skin I’ve been tripping in Never to quite return Yes, I’m grounded Got my wings clipped I’m surrounded by all this pavement Guess I’ll circle While I’m waiting For my fuse to dry Someday I’ll fly Someday I’ll soar Someday I’ll be so damn much more Cause I’m bigger than my body gives me credit for Cause I’m bigger than my body now Maybe I’ll tangle in the power lines And it might be over in a second’s time But I’ll gladly go down in a flame If the flame’s what it takes to remember my name Yes, I’m grounded Got my wings clipped I’m surrounded by all this pavement Guess I’ll circle While I’m waiting For my fuse to dry For my fuse to dry Someday I’ll fly Someday I’ll soar Someday I’ll be so damn much more Cause I’m bigger than my body I’m bigger than my body I’m bigger than my body now

03 ::Something’s Missing:: I’m not alone I wish I was Cause then I’d know I was down because I couldn’t find a friend around To love me like they do right now They do right now I’m dizzy from the shopping mall I searched for the joy but I bought it all It doesn’t help the hunger pain And a thirst I’d have to drown first to ever satiate Something’s missing And I don’t know how to fix it Something’s missing And I don’t know what it is At all When autumn comes It doesn’t ask It just walks in where it left you last You never know when it starts Until there is fog inside the glass around Your summer heart Something’s missing And I don’t know hot to fix it Something’s missing And I don’t know what it is at all I cant be sure that this state of mind Is not of my own design I wish there was an over the counter test for loneliness like this Something’s missing And I don’t know what it is Something’s missing And I don’t know what it is No I don’t know what it is Something’s different And I

don’t know what it is No I don’t know what it is. Friends (Check) Money (Check) Well slept (Check) Opposite sex (Check) Guitar (Check) Microphone (Check) Messages waiting on me when I come home

04 ::New Deep:: I’m so alive I’m so enlightened I can barely survive A night in my mind I’ve got a plan I’m gonna find out just how boring I am And have a good time Cause ever since I tried Trying not to find Every little meaning in my life It’s been fine I’ve been cool With my new golden rule Numb is the new deep Done with the old me And talk is the same cheap it’s been Is there a God? Why is he waiting? Don’t you think of it odd When he knows my address? And look at the stars Don’t they remind you of just how feeble we are? Well it used to, I guess Cause ever since I tried Trying not to find Every little meaning in my life It’s been fine I’ve been cool With my new golden rule Numb is the new deep Done with the old me And talk is the same cheap It’s been I’m a new man I wear a new cologne and You wouldn’t know me if your eyes were closed I know what you’ll say ‘This won’t last longer than the rest of the day’ But you’re wrong this time You’re wrong Numb is the new deep Done with the old me I’m over the analyzing Tonight Stop trying to figure it out (you try to figure, you try to figure it out) It will only bring you down You know, I used to be the back porch poet with my book of rhymes Always open knowing all the time I’m probably Never gonna find the perfect rhyme For ‘heavier things’

05 ::Come Back to Bed:: Still is the life Of your room when you’re not inside And all of your things Tell the sweetest story line Your tears on these sheets And your footsteps are down the hall Tell me what I did I can’t find where the moment went wrong at all You can be mad in the morning I’ll take back what I said Just don’t leave me alone here It’s cold baby Come back to bed What will this fix? You know you’re not a quick forgive And I won’t sleep through this I survive on the breath You are finished with You can be mad in the morning I’ll take back what I said Just don’t leave me alone here It’s cold baby Come back to bed You can be mad in the morning Or the afternoon instead But don’t leave me 98 and 6 degrees of separation From you baby Come back to bed Don’t hold your love over my head

06 ::Home Life:: I think I’m gonna stay home Have myself a home life Sitting in the slow-mo And listening to the daylight I am not a nomad I am not a rocket man I was born a house cat By the slight of my mother’s hand I think I’m gonna stay home I want to live in the center of a circle I want to live on the side of a square I used to be in my M-Z now You’ll never find me cause my name isn’t there Home life Been holding out for a home life

PAGE 8My whole life I want to see the end game I want to learn her last name Finish on a Friday And sit in traffic on the highway See, I refuse to believe That my life’s gonna be Just some string of incompletes Never to lead me to anything remotely close to home life Been holding out for a home life My whole life I can tell you this much I will marry just once And if it doesn’t work out Give her half of my stuff It’s fine with me We said eternity And I will go to my grave With the life that I gave Not just some melody line On a radio wave It dissipates And soon evaporates But home life doesn’t change I want to live in the center of a circle I want to live on the side of a square I’d love to walk to where we can both talk but I’ve got to leave you cause my ride is here Home life You keep the home life You take the home life I’ll come back for the home life I promise

07 ::Split Screen Sadness:: And I don’t know where you went when you left me but Says here in the water you must be gone by now I can tell somehow One hand on the trig-ger of a telephone Wondering when the call comes Where you say it’s alright You got your heart right Maybe I’ll sleep inside my coat and Wait on the porch ‘til you come back home Oh, right I can’t find a flight We share the sadness Split screen sadness Two wrongs make it all alright tonight All you need is love is a lie cause We had love but we still said good-bye Now we’re tired, battered fighters And it stings when it’s nobody’s fault Cause there’s nothing to blame at the drop of your name It’s only the air you took and the breath you left Maybe I’ll sleep inside my coat and Wait on the porch ‘til you come back home Oh, right I can’t find a flight So I’ll check the weather wherever you are Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight It might be my only right We share the sadness Split screen sadness I called Because I just Need to feel you on the line Don’t hang up this time And I know it was me who called it over but I still wish you’d fought me ‘til your dying day Don’t let me get away Cause I can’t wait to figure out what’s wrong with me So I can say this is the way that I used to be There’s no substitute for time Or for the sadness Split screen sadness We share the sadness

08 ::Daughters:: I know a girl She puts the color inside of my world But she’s just like a maze Where all of the walls are continually changed And I’ve done all I can To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands Now I’m starting to see Maybe it’s got nothing to do with me Fathers, be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do Girls become lovers who turn into mothers So mothers, be good to your daughters too Oh, you see that skin? It’s the same she’s been standing in Since the day she saw him walking away Now I’m left Cleaning up the mess he made So fathers, be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do Girls become lovers who turn into mothers So mothers, be good to your daughters too Boys, you can break You’ll find out how much they can take Boys will be strong And boys soldier on But boys would be gone without the warmth from A womans good, good heart On be-half of every man Looking out for every girl You are the guide and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do Girls become lovers who turn into mothers So mothers, be good to your daughters too

09 ::Only Heart:: Do not waste this evening, baby I’m begging you Your big imagi-nation’s playing its tricks on you If you think my up and leaving’s something I’m gonna do Feel my chest when I look at you... Baby you, you’ve got my only heart Yeah, you’ve got my only heart Yeah, you’ve got my only, only, heart So hard to be so far out living our separate lives You phone was really broken - I tried your number twice And if you need confirmation, baby I understand It’s alright if you want me to tell you... You, you’ve got my only heart Yeah, you’ve got my only heart Yeah, you’ve got my only, only, heart And you love like your hand’s on the horn, baby I adore you but there’s a hole in the cup that should hold your love Hold my love If you let me leave I swear, I never will Remember now you You’ve got my only heart Yeah, you got my only heart Yeah, you’ve got my only Only heart

10 ::Wheel:: People have the right to fly And will when it gets compromised Their hearts say “Move along” Their minds say “Gotcha heart” Let’s move it along Let’s move it along And airports See it all the time Where someone’s last goodbye Blends in with someone’s sigh Cause someone’s coming home In hand a single rose And that’s the way this wheel keeps work-ing now That’s the way this wheel keeps working now And I won’t be the last No I won’t be the last, To love her And you can’t build a house of leaves And live like it’s an evergreen It’s just a season thing It’s just this thing that seasons do And that’s the way this wheel keeps working now That’s the way this wheel keeps working now And you won’t be the first No you won’t be the first To love me You can find me, if you ever want again I’ll be around the bend I’ll be around the bend I’ll be around, I’ll be around And if you never stop when you wave goodbye You just might find if you give it time You will wave hello again You just might wave hello again And that’s the way this wheel keeps working now That’s the way this wheel keeps working now You can’t love too much, one part of it You can’t love too much, one part of it I believe that my life’s gonna see The love I give return to me
