Alive
04:17

Last night I put my head on your chest
My ear just below your left breast
So content I was to listen to your heart
So content I was to listen to your heart
The wheat in the fields looks like waves on the sea
Like ocean waves the winter wind piles up the snow
I want to know
I want to know
Can I speak to this heart to keep this person that I love alive
Last night I put my head on your chest
My ear just below your left breast
So content I was to listen to your heart
So content until the worry for you starts
The greening of the ground
The melting and the flowing of the water
She soon turns beautiful colours of decay
As though the heat of life forgot her
Can I speak to this heart to keep this person that I love alive
I want your heart and me alive

No Heat From The Sun
04:28
|

I get no heat from the sun
I get no warmth from it's glow
I get no heat from the sun
You live with me so you know
Skin touches your fingertips
And you feel nothing at all
My lips are touching your lips
Your lips are trying to say
I get no heat from the sun
I get no heat from the sun
You're the one I get that from
I get no heat from the sun
I get no heat from the sun
I get no warmth from it's glow
I get no heat from the sun
You live with me so you know
It's just the tilt of the earth
When we're on top of the world
Cold gets right into my veins
I look at you and I say
I get no heat from the sun
I get no heat from the sun
You're the one I get that from
I get no heat from the sun

Love Is Crazy
02:57
|

Love is crazy, love is cruel
And baby it's your coldest glance that makes me cool as
I see flowers that have bloomed
And promptly frozen in the early months of May and June
Is a beautiful time to fall in love
And gracefully we fall into a hole
That can never be filled to us
Insatiable, I know summer love is bound to fall
Is crazy, love is cruel
And baby it's your coldest glance that makes me cool as
I see flowers that have bloomed
And promptly frozen in the early months of May and June
Love is crazy, love is cruel
And baby it's your coldest glance that makes me cool and
Love is crazy, love is cruel
And baby it's your coldest glance that makes me cool as

Every Day Is A Waiting
02:52
|
|||
She looks up at the cracks in the ceiling
Chasing a feeling that
Freezing time, if she lies perfectly still
No one will notice she's gone
Full collapse on the bed in the corner
One room apartment
No one comes with a knock on the door
To rescue this frozen girl
But you know I will
Every day is a waiting
Every day is a waiting
But you know I will
We should go on a flight to the ocean
What an escape it would be
Full collapse on the bed in the corner
You whisper we don't deserve that
We look up at the cracks in the ceiling
Chasing a feeling that
Freezing time, if we keep lying here then
No one will notice we're gone
But you know I will
Every day is a waiting
Every day is a waiting game
But you know I will

To Be Alone
03:38
|
|||
She sits in this chair surrounded by the things that she holds dearest
Nearest, it's too close to call
Particular points appeal to her as sensible excuses
Reclusive, she's nowhere at all
I don't want to be any further than you've already pushed me away
Can't be bothered to call anyone but you
I'm not threatening to leave
I'm promising to stay
Pick up the phone
Today is not a good day to be alone
Echoes away fireworks flash plainly in the distance
Persistent, like it's not a choice
And seeing the light illuminates the source of this seclusion
She's using and losing her voice
I don't want to be any further than you've already pushed me away
Can't be bothered to call anyone but you
I'm not threatening to leave
I'm promising to stay
Pick up the phone
Today is not a good day to be alone

Baby's Breath
04:10
|

Hey dear come look at what I picked for you
Some tiny blue flowers then what did you do
You threw them to the ground tell me now what should that say to me
My love isn't perfect and yours is definitely not free
So let the rain bring down the water and we'll see what grows
Lovely how indifference comes up in rows
How the roots go down and hold around the thoughts we don't know
Let the rain bring down the water and we'll see what grows
Someone once told me that love is a gift
But sometimes love is a cancer and it kills what is left of itself
Misunderstandings we planted like seeds
Now to harvest the flowers we gotta pull out the weeds
So let the rain bring down the water and we'll see what grows
Lovely how indifference comes up in rows
How the roots go down and hold around the thoughts we don't know
So let the rain bring down the water and we'll see what grows
My love isn't perfect and yours is definitely not free
So let the rain bring down the water and we'll see what grows
Lovely how indifference comes up in rows
How the roots go down and hold around the thoughts we don't know
Let the rain bring down the water and we'll see what grows

Dome Of Heaven
03:30
|
|||
Dear John it's time to put my space suit on
I feel the need to fly
I once aspired to do everything she couldn't do
How could I ever get that high
As she walks on the dome of heaven
As she walks on the edge
And she talks without authorization
As she walks on the edge
I'm pleased to announce most all the walls are broken down
I've seen it from the sky
And when I look real hard while staring up in my backyard
A wave hello and goodbye
As she walks on the dome of heaven
As she walks on the edge
And she talks without authorization
As she walks on the edge
I wanted woman who could take my intensity
I wanted a man who could race against me
I wanted a woman who would grudgingly lose to me
I wanted a woman who I thought I could dominate
Let's not pretend he was right when she flies away
Cause even now she walks on the dome of heaven
As she walks on the edge
And she talks without authorization
As she walks on the edge

My Music Club
05:01
|

What if gone were the days
When I tried to explain
And the words like the wood
Could hold the stain
I've thought it through
Confession is the simple truth
I despise myself
Because I hate your friends
I go round and round
And my mind pretends
We pollute the air
With our empty talk
But with your love for me
I can walk that walk
I've thought it through
Confession is the simple truth
I'm telling you
Confession is the simple truth
The verdict's in
I'm not right for you
I can live with that
If you want me to
I can come terms
In my music club
That our love's song gets played
By just the two of us
I've thought it through
Confession is the simple truth
I'm telling you
Confession is the simple truth

Staircase
03:54
|
|||
Oh you scramble up the staircase ever racing to the top
Just to find when you arrive there it's just a drop and
Down you go, down you fall
Holding to the self opinion
You were never who you thought you were
You were never who you believed yourself to be
And You were never in the race you ran so hard to win
And you were never who you thought you were
I am questioning and challenging the presence of your mind
As you grip onto the banister and stepping out you find that
Down you go, down you fall
Holding to your poor self image
Cause you were never who you thought you were
And you were never who you believed yourself to be
You were never in the race you ran so hard to win
And you were never who you thought you were
In the singing of these thoughts
There's enough to make me cry
In the singing of theses thoughts
There's a hole as deep as a well
In the darkness of these thoughts
I know there's water down there somewhere
And if I look into that water I will see
I was never who I thought I was
Masterminding my undoing I'm the only one to blame
Cause the more I love these stairs I climb the deeper goes my shame
As down I go, down I fall
Holding to my poor self image
Wanting more than I deserve
To win this little game of scrimmage
Someone tap me on the shoulder
Tell me that this game is over
Cause you were never who you thought you were
You were never who you believed yourself to be
And you were never in the race you ran so hard to win
And you were never who you thought you were

These Sad Songs
03:44
|
|||
Tragedy has always been my spark
Just a way to stay scared of the dark
National guitar in my hands
I'm searching for the words of a bitter man
Tragedy approaches I assume
Cause she's listening to me from the back of the room
Try to figure out just what I've done
I'm needing an excuse and I don't have one
And she says
Stop singing these sad songs
Cause they incline me to believe that somethings wrong
I've never given a thought to moving on
But it's these sad songs or me
I've never held a gun
And I've never threatened anyone
I don't cheat you, you don't cheat me
What is it your words would have me be
She says
Stop singing these sad songs
Cause they incline me to believe that somethings wrong
I've never given a thought to moving on
But it's these sad songs or me
Is this the last thing that I write
Will I see you come home tonight
A sad song to call my own
I guess I'm happy enough to be alone
And she says
Stop singing these sad songs
Cause they incline me to believe that somethings wrong
I've never given a thought to moving on
I guess it's these sad songs

Our Love Is Violence
02:58
|
|||
Like gulls to garbage
That's what our love is
We are water and sand
Inevitable combination
We are lovers who should know better
So pull the trigger
Go ahead, subject me
To the car-crash romance
Criminal association
We are lovers who should know better
But no
Sensation, a morbid fascination
It's everything you do
Combustion, a fire burning hotter
I can't put it out, neither can you
Like flies to the porch light
We don't feel nothing
We are deer in the headlights
Our love is violent and
We really should know better
You hear my car pull
Silent into the driveway
So kill the desk light
Climb out through the window
We are lovers who should know better
But no
Sensation, a morbid fascination
It's everything you do
Combustion, a fire burning hotter
I can't put it out, neither can you

Confidence
04:30

If you're thinking of calling me out
You'd best go all the way
If you're thinking of calling me out
You'd better go all the way
Don't push that button unless you know what it does

Mechanics
03:16
|
|||
I met you in the summer it was 1995
I was fixed on you like a premonition that was coming to life
You met me in the summer of 1996
How did you see the blip on the horizon that was my heart becoming fixed
O the mechanics of our love
It's getting pretty cold and she's the one with a nose for trouble
On the shoulder of the yellowhead looking like the motor had stalled
It's amazing how a kiss can fill the space between waking and dreaming
That was the very last thought of my own that I can recall
O the mechanics of our love
Inevitable probability can bring us together
And Deus ex Machina is the only part I already know
O the mechanics of our love
