Time
Time keeps tickin' on, time keeps tickin' on by
My words never found their way in and
I guess I can't find my way out - we're trapped inside
Time keeps tickin' on, time keeps moving by
​
I've searched these crowded streets for your face
Searching for something that I just can't replace
​
1,2,3,4 I see brilliant skies they pull me down with nebula eyes and fireflies
1,2,3,4 I see brilliant skies they pull me down with nebula eyes and fireflies
Yesterday I climbed in through your eyes and I saw all the bad things that you bought
Can't you feel I'm dancing in your head
Time keeps tickin' on, time keeps moving by
I've searched these crowded streets for your face
Searching for something that I just can't replace
​
1,2,3,4 I see brilliant skies they pull me down with nebula eyes and fireflies
1,2,3,4 I see brilliant skies they pull me down with nebula eyes and fireflies
​
Dance
We climbed up the stairs and into the stars
We held out our arms, as if to take flight
Singing, "this is what it feels like"
To shine like the sun, and glow like a flower
Syncopation, repetition, bury me
Shine like the sun and grow like a flower
Hey, hey, hey, I don't wanna dance
I don't wanna sing this way
I don't wanna dance
And I don't wanna dance around
Dance around anything
We climbed up the hills and into the sun
We held out our arms as if to take flight
I don't wanna dance around, dance around anything
​
Bench
We sit on that bench and we talk in the cold
And we talk, yeah we talk til our thoughts just grow old
And I appreciate this because I don't deserve this
And I appreciate this because I need you in this
We sit on that bench and we wait in the snow
And you hand me your gloves so my fingers don't get cold
And I appreciate this because I need you in this
And I appreciate this because I don't deserve this
And I just have to turn and look at you
And think how I'll never be able to repay - anything
And there's nothing I can say that can make us break even
Even in the smallest of ways
​
Fight, Don't Fight
Here and now, I can hear you say
Darlin I would never be that way
I got caught up in this fight - darlin you have never been more right
​
All the boys, all the girls in their fancy dresses
They're all the same - they'll complain that the floor is movin
And the walls are cavin in
​
Now and then, I can feel the same
Darlin I would never be to blame
I got caught up in this fight - darlin you have never been more right
It got so heavy inside - and darlin you have never been more light
All the boys, all the girls in their fancy dresses
They're all the same - they'll complain that the floor is movin
And the walls are cavin in
​
Wish I Could Fly
I wish I could fly up up and away and into the clouds
I somehow would ride all through the night and into the day
And if I go too far would you follow me
If I go too far would you follow me
If I go too far would you follow me
If I go too far could I come back home?
I wish I could be sacred and free most of the time
I somehow would ride all through the night and into the day
And if I go too far would you follow me
If I go too far would you follow me
If I go too far would you follow me
If I go too far could I come back home?
​
I wouldn't win it in a fist fight
I couldn't stand out in a crowd but I'll use it
​
Colors
Still alive for all I know
In the world and wondering
Why all the colors seem so bright
In the daylight, I can see why space needs the darkness
Like I need the light
In the darkness I can hear you say
Something that you didnt
​
24 year rootless tree
Vagabond and vacancy
If you're ever wandering
​
In the daylight I can see why space needs the darkness
Like I need the light
In the darkness I can hear you say
Something that you didnt
​
I could sleep all day if I find comfort in this place
And all the lights tend to fade
​
