You know we could in the little wood give in to nature free
In show sans-pants and a wiggle dance we’ll give it up to be
And that’s just that, don’t go too fast just a little bit easy

I will be your sugar dadda
If you will just give me some suger mamma

You gave it up like a like full up cup that I was there to drink
It up and down. This whole damn town, they talk but hardly think.
Cause I’ll wash you if you wash me don’t swim until we sink.

I will be your sugar dadda
If you will just give me some suger mamma

Our sweet mothers loved flawed angels with their quiet ways
Fathers with a stern voice their hand showing us the way

Brothers sisters never missed them always in the way
Life together too much smothered in each other’s face

Growing up to find out if we could just get out we just had to get away

Got a job down in the city where they have good pay
Watch the people in the steeples living for some day

We all go in circles but the centers aren’t the same
Just keep going without knowing why we change our ways

We grew up to find out if we could just get out we just had to get away

Now momma says that life, well, it’s just happenin’
Daddy says that he can’t change
But just because you don’t push doesn’t mean you stop, no
We all go, yeah we all find a way

We grew up to find out if we could just get out only to come back to stay

Keep making other plans

We grew up to find out if we could just get out only to come back to stay

Tickle the tongue, with a pun shout.
Put me down, blow in my mouth.
Hole in my brain, to let the air out.
Whahhhhh, whahhh, whahh.

Much too young, to be left out.
Rope around, all the way bound.
Al-most hung, where I was found.
Nahhhhh, nahhhh, nahh.

Face to face, with the last doubt.
Try to race, on the fast route.
Love the way, that I got out.
Yahhhhhhh, yahhh, yahh.

Day to day, still in the bout.
Have to stay, on the milk now.
Growing back, sunny eyes out.

I got up and I got out…

I wasn’t in the way

I just keep going to rehearsal
And I keep practicing my lines
I make a forward, a reversal
Nothing moves except for time

Around and round it goes in circles
It never stops I never move
It’s simpler wanting to be perfect
I never have to show the proof

Time’s the constant why I’m dying
Was I born just so I could
Guess that’s a reason to keep trying
But does it matter if it’s good

Oh does it matter if I’m good?
Does it matter if I’m right?
Does it matter if I should?
Does it matter, does it matter, does it matter if I try?

There’re men and women getting bigger
So big they cover up my eyes
Until that coverage is the figure
That makes the truth out of their lies

Do they go through their own rehearsals
Do they feel like they’re in this cage
Or are they just so sure they’re perfect
That they just walk out on the stage

Oh does it matter if they’re good?
Does it matter if they’re right?
Does it matter if they should?
Does it matter, does it matter, does it matter if they try?

You’re alone in that pointed house
I’m in a large state in the rain
And I hope you aren’t thinking about
Where we’ve been for too long now

Because I’m not the man you met
I’m not the man that got you wet
I’m not the man that took you out of there
And set you free

When we were younger and stronger
We cared about the unimportant things
It’s how everything matters when nothing does
That makes it a fearless run in that rain

Now I’m not the man you met
I’m not the man that got you wet
I’m not the man that took you out of there
And set you free

So just don’t think about it too long
Don’t wonder about the wonder that you don’t have
Just stay warm and dry and I’ll come back
I’ll come back to you

You know I’m the man you met
I am the man that got you wet
I’m the man that took you out of there
And took you with me

Late one day I was tired I was feelin’ kinda run down
Sitting there quiet to myself thought it’s time that I go now
But this blue eyed bastard started shoutin’ in my ear, calling me out
And I didn’t have patience this time for the usual low brow

Look out…
I won’t stop kicking even after your down.
Look out…
I won’t stop just for blood in your mouth.

The blood’s in my face and my lip turns over like a down spout
My voice is still quiet but my breath is coming like a full lung shout
Sometimes even the quiet ones get pushed too far out
We are the ones that give and give until we give out

Look out…
I won’t stop kicking even after your down.
Look out…
I won’t stop just for blood in your mouth.

Anxiety fading….

I used to be so confident

I used to be in control

My mind is a cloud of birds it churns like chaos in control
Ideas like random patterns with a mind of their own
I haven’t felt this good inside for so very long
It makes me want to cry or scream or sing a brand new song

If I could take you with me you know I would
Yeah I would take you with me if I could

When January eyes look down it makes me feel old
Winter trees like hairs on hills blowing in the cold
But I feel like a new spring man I’m ready to go
I wish answers came so fast that pain was just a crow
Squawking in the winter air chased way with a stone

Then we’d live forever just like we’d always known

I wish you could go with me
I wish you could go too
I wish you could go with me
I wish you could go to

If I could take you with me you know I would
Yeah I would take you with me if I could

I’ll sit in this twilight feeling breathing amber air
Doesn’t seem to matter if we think it isn’t fair
At least we had our youth to waste it on without a care
Maybe when we get it back we’ll have more than our share

If I could take you with me you know I would
Yeah I would take you with me if I could

I know a girl who’s afraid of the world
She don’t know what she wants and niether do I
But we’re gonna change it, we’re gonna change it all

Let’s go sit by the river
Watch the changes roll

Books and letters and books and words
Lost hope, Self help.. put our intentions out
But we’re gonna change it, we’re gonna change it all

Let’s go sit by the river
Watch the changes roll

Don’t mind me if I seem insane
Comletely crazy with a different name
Cause we’re gonna change it, we’re gonna change it all

Let’s go sit by the river
Watch the changes roll

Let’s go sit by the river
Watch the changes roll

I was a lonely man
You were right in my hand
And I was out of the way
But I couldn’t stay

Why?

I thought I had a plan
You and me were mad
We just came out that way
And burned down another day

Why?

Time is getting thin
I don’t believe your sin
We just came out that way
We burn we burn all day

Why? It’s wasting… why?
