Pouring Rain
03:50
|
|||
|
in the fall when the leaves brown and the shadows grow,
you will put your heart into everything you know
but you still feel you're losing time
even though you know your heart is fine
all through the year
since you're hopeful but your hopes are unmet,
you like to go outside and get wet
I don't mind you standing in the pouring rain
I don't mind you getting wet at all!
you always seem to revel in the fall
maybe there is a better town somewhere down low
all for a romantic life, you'll travel to & fro
but candles burn leaving melted wax
maybe there's a babe travelin' down the tracks
even if they're headed south

Running From
03:25
|
|||
|
you are leader, but you will never rule the rest
and you could have peaceful hands, but you will only pound your chest
I do not hate your guts, even if my stomach's in pain
I might tie myself up in knots, trying to forget your name!
the things you're running from, they only run away in time
you think you fell in a hole; if I get you out, would you be mine?
you are a fighter, but you will never free the rest
and you are a lumpy brain - you think the world's inside your nest
_____________________________
maybe I'm just a klutz, stumbling through my own game
I could louse up all of our years if I forget how far we came!

Find Out
03:15
|
|||
|
is it a beautiful world, or is it just the earth?
are you falling in love, or are you just headfirst?
I'd like to help you, but I'm kind of busy staring at your ass
I should do the right thing, but there's time for that
'cause you know bad things don't last
maybe you just need a friend.
find out, find out - we are not going to find out having sex
find out, find out - I guess you wanna try out being friends
have you been here before, or are you in a phase?
must you look like a whore who wasn't slept in days?

Hello
02:57
|
|||
|
babe, you're consistent
so I don't think nothing of it when you don't say hello
I don't need you to tell me you're mine
see, I already think it's so
but I'm wild, and I don't always have my mind
now I am persistent
see, I don't want you to leave me but I don't know what to know.
and I don't mean to put more pressure on you
but I'm already ready to blow
because I'm wild, and I don't always have my mind
say hello to me! why don't you say hello?
now I ain't deliberatin'
see, I know the state of things 'cause it's right between us two
why do you get caught up trying to see straight
and wind up looking right through?
is it because you're wild, and you don't always have your mind?

It's You
04:30
|
|||
|
I don't know you that well, but baby if I come to
they could send me to hell - I think I'd be back to be with you
my chest goes up & your chest goes down
don't need nobody to turn me around
see, all I need is what I want
and it's you
flame that burns needs a source, and honey I'll give us one
we are lucky, of course - we are two but we feel like one

All My Friends
03:34
|
|||
|
all my friends and all my loves
today it seems you are the same
it's not pain I'm dying of
it's the need to blame
today it seems that I should cry
because I certainly ain't high
but, you know, that ain't living
that is how you die.
all my things and all my woes
& all myself I've ever owned
see me with a stitch one day
trying to reverse the fray
even those who are waiting for time
to help get themselves back in line
are stuck like a pause in the middle of prose
being read aloud just fine

Goodbye
05:52
|
|||
|
I'm a lucky boy to have met a happy soul
but cycles that end just don't feel whole
while I realize that the dying die
I don't want to be a part of that role
sometimes you're sad for yourself
but nothing feels like being sad for someone else
those enjoyed are whom you miss
it's hard to say goodbye with a kiss
I am a rock, and so I have some moss
but love is not love without loss
although it appears my luck has all run out
I've still got some coins left to toss
