Pretty Summertime

Well it was a
Pretty summer time
And one I knew that I'd remember
I'd pick up right where we were
But oh!
Then she said go
Then she said go
Then she said go
Then she said
Well it was a
Pretty summer time
And one I try to not remember
Absinthe and rye
And a time so long ago
When she said go
When she said go
When she said go
When she said
She said go
And she said go
And she said go
And she said

Where were you when the world was breaking
Down in two and the lights were fading
Say the wise that the trees have gone gray
And sunrise is far away
Oh the lights go out
Oh the lights go out
Oh the lights go out
Oh the lights go out
A fire burns when you get too close to
And so do words when you let them own you
I couldn't help it when you said you'd stay
And sunrise is still far away
Oh the lights go out
Oh the lights go out
Oh the lights go out
Oh the lights go out
Oh the lights go!
Where were you when the world was changing
Late at night it was cold and raining
Broken ties on a lamp-lit quay
And sunrise is so far away
Oh the lights go out
Oh the lights go out
Oh the lights go out
Oh the lights go out
Oh the lights go out
Oh the lights go out
Oh the lights go out
Oh the lights go out

Alone
01:19
|

It's last minute
Breaking down
The world keeps spinning
So does my head
I don't know what's around
Time keeps
And now
I am
All alone on the flight home
All alone on the flight home
All alone on the flight home
All alone on the flight home
Time keeps
And now
I am

Midnight Walk
03:00
|
|||
|
Going out to clear my head
Meet you up if you want
I couldn't care less
I'm going out on the town
It's closed and I am
Probably reaching the end
The light is on
But my brain is off
And I am
Going for a midnight walk
And I am
Going for a midnight walk
For a midnight walk
And I am
We can talk about the stars
Or the meaning of life
Whatever we want
Or spill a deepest secret
Or a little frustration
Or a niggling thought
Well, the light is on
But my brain is off
And I am
Going for a midnight walk
And I am
Going for a midnight walk
For a midnight walk
And I am
Going out to clear my head
Thanks for coming along
It really was nice
We should do this again
Same time same place
And hope lightning strikes twice
The light is on
But my brain is off
And I am
Going for a midnight walk
And I am
Going for a midnight walk
For a midnight walk
And I am

Like You Said
03:01

Out of nowhere
It came on fast
The currents almost pulled me down
And you watched me swim to the surface now
What's with that look you give me
Every time this happens to me
I thought you'd know what to do by now
Because if you knew me
Like you said you knew me
If you knew me
This wouldn't be a surprise
Out of nowhere and
It came on fast
The currents almost pulled me down
And you watched me swim, break the surface now
And there's that look you give me
Every time this happens to me
You should have known what to do by now
Because if you knew me
Like you said you knew me
If you knew me
This wouldn't be a surprise
And there's that look you give me
Every time this happens to me
You should have known what to do by now
Because if you knew me
Like you said you knew me
If you knew me
This wouldn't be a surprise

Simple Squares
04:33
|
|||
|
A set of twisting lines
Drawn on an empty plain
And a seat facing backwards
On a crowded train
Single serving memories
Postcards from far away
Served up to be a remedy
A game I can replay
Oh that time in Tokyo
Straw sweaters in the rain
You called me in a blur
And then you fell out of the frame
You were listless like a widow weeping
Remembering the days
But then the menu rises
Showing me another day
They're simple squares
Simple squares
Every empty moment buys
Another ticket for this train
Another pull, another look
Into the mirror, a refrain
You get a one-way ticket that goes
To places no one wants to be
And a set of simple squares in a grid
That grows down endlessly
And every shutter sound
Impersonated, cast around
That strikes a vein
It tiles the plain
Oh can you see
They're simple squares
Simple squares

My Imposter
04:09
|

|
Yesterday I was on top
But today I feel I can't stop
Yesterday I felt that I could fly
And just today I wonder why I even try
My imposter watches over me
And I try to out-compete
But why can't you let me be
My imposter, my imposter
Yesterday I was on top
But today I feel I can't stop
Yesterday I felt that I could fly
And just today I wonder why I even try
My imposter watches over me
And I try to out-compete
But why can't you let me be
My imposter, my imposter
My imposter watches over me
And I try to out-compete
But why can't you let me be
My imposter, my imposter

Aeroplane Blvd

Out there
Beneath the air
Beyond the Salton Sea
A place to rest
Only the best
Behold the majesty
Of things aligned
A piece of mind
I'll send a postcard
So if you need me
I will be
On the boulevard
On the boulevard
Aeroplane Boulevard
Aeroplane Boulevard
A torrid air
A scene a faire
For movies no one sees
The hero's run
Wrapped in act one
What's left for two and three?
Zooming out
You'll find the route
Under the cold stars
So if you need me
I will be
On the boulevard
On the boulevard
Aeroplane Boulevard
Aeroplane Boulevard
Engines cold
Wing tales told
Of places barely seen
The verses spoke
Through engines choked
By sun and sandy seas
A timeless place
Beyond the race
Out to the east unmarred
So if you need me
I will be
On the boulevard
On the boulevard
Aeroplane Boulevard
Aeroplane Boulevard

Strawmen to Each Other
04:09
|
|||
|
When you look at me
Do you see
A well overflowing with possibility
No
Instead you construct
Someone to obstruct
A being to build up
And then to get fucked
A wise man said
While he fiddled for bread
That we're strangers to ourselves
But I think he missed one
We're strangers to ourselves
And straw men to each other
While I lie here awake
My muscles burning and ache
Another day hard won
But you think I'm a fake
I'm trying hard to subscribe
But you got caught in a vibe
I ask to give me a chance
But I'm not part of your tribe
A wise man said
While he fiddled for bread
That we're strangers to ourselves
But I think he missed one
We're strangers to ourselves
And straw men to each other
No matter how hard we try
We can't see eye to eye
You know, it's not your fault
But I can't say it's mine
A wise man said
While he fiddled for bread
That we're strangers to ourselves
But I think he missed one
We're strangers to ourselves
And straw men to each other

Left to Right

Writing words
Dreams, concerns
Left to right
Black from white
What I said
Where it led
What is done
And just begun
You'll know
When I don't know
Who I was or who I am
The dreams I had
If I was glad
And if I'd do it all again
From highest highs
To lowest lows
The pages turn
And lessons learn
And as we go
Into the throws
Another line
To yours from mine
And you'll know
When I don't know
Who I was or who I am
The fears I had
If I was glad
And if I'd do it all again
Writing words
Dreams, concerns
Left to right
Black from white
What I said
Where it led
What has been done
And can't be undone
And you'll know
When I don't know
Who I was or who I am
The dreams I had
If I was glad
And if I'd do it all again

I Saw You Falling
04:21
|
|||
|
I have watched you wander
Marched alongside you
From that pretty summer
That cleaved us both in two
And I have to ask
Now that we've arrived
Did you know
That this is where you died?
A summer sunburn fades
But cracks they only grow
Until what finally breaks
Is you, now all alone
And you can try to turn back
But the battle lines are drawn
Now only smoke and stars
Can leave before the dawn
I saw you falling
Like paper peaks in the winter time
I saw you falling
Like paper peaks in the winter time
You do not know nor can you
When summertime will end
But after winter leaves you
Spring will come again
So sleep beneath the snow
And dream of greener grass
Think of a new name for yourself
To use when this is past
Canons fire into the night
A standard charges to the fight
I saw you falling
Like paper peaks in the winter time
I saw you falling
Like paper peaks in the winter time
I saw you falling
Like paper peaks in the winter time
I saw you falling
Like paper peaks in the winter time
When you rise what should I call you?
When you rise what should I call you?
When you rise what should I call you?
When you rise what should I call you?
When you rise what should I call you?
When you rise what can I call you?
What can I call you when you arise?
