Generosity
03:40
|
lyrics |
|
|
Wake up for the eighth time
Looking for a reason to stay down
As opposed to getting out of bed
And walking, walking around
Could go watch a rerun
Lie down on the living room couch
Or I could put in my headphones
Listen to whatever some dude
Feels like talking about
I’m looking for a little generosity
From the chasm of mind
I know this has been a fragile time
But you don’t have to be too
You don’t have to be too
I just can’t stay asleep these days
But in the mornings I can’t stay awake
I’m trying hard to realign
There are only so many pills I’ll take
I’m looking to stay in my regular state
For as long as my body can take
I’m looking for a little generosity
From the chasm of mind
I know that this has been a fragile time
But you don’t have to be too
You don’t have to be too
I don’t have to be too

Mothers

lyrics |
|
|
I know
Things get cool on the way home
I like your new friend
He seems very sweet
Tell me again:
How did you two meet?
Nobody said anything about you
But you took it personally
You always do
What do you do
Always toiling and hiding
Away in your room?
Yes he can come over
Just be sure you tell his mother
I know
We all in some way are in survival mode
But how can I say
It so you understand
You don’t have to prove
You are more than man
You know I am always here for you
That offer will stand
Even though you never see it through
What will you do
When there’s nothing
Left for us to say but the truth?
Yes he can come over
But be sure we get properly introduced
Before the night is over
I want to know his mother’s name
I want to know his mother’s name
I want to know his mother’s name
I want to know his mother’s name
I want to know his mother’s name
You know, mothers have a way
You know, mothers have a way
You know, mothers have a way

Beth
03:06
|
lyrics |
|
|
I’m not the only one
Who thinks of you, Beth
I try not to be bitter
But it’s all I’ve got left
That wellspring of anger
Leaves me bereft
And I’m gone
I know it isn’t only me
Who considers your place
In the banks of our minds
In pasts we can’t erase
I don’t want to erase mine
Because then you’d be replaced
With nothing
See, as much as I feel
Like we wasted our time
I’m not sure I’d want
An alternate timeline
Where we never met
Where you never materialized
I’m not there yet
See, Beth
See, Beth
The answer lies inside
The big question
The looming of question of why, why, why
See, if we wasted our time
You surely wasted your own
So, why, why, why?
Why why why?

A Hundredth of a Second
04:24
|
lyrics |
|
|
All it took
Was a hundredth
Of a second
Of seeing your face
So woefully out of its place
All I needed
Was a fraction
Of a moment
Of time spent with you there
And then everything became clear
You have
Some kind of magic
Hold over me
And it’s been active
For every day
Since the day we met
Or has it been since
We fell in love
Either way, it glues me to you
Either way, it glues me to you
Reading you like a flier
Catching both my eyes
Gonna take it home with me
All it took
Was a sliver
Of an exchange
Of our eye’s gazes
Spelunking down
into each other’s innermost places
You have
Some kind of magic
Hold over me
And it’s been active
Since the day we met
Or has it been since
When we fell in love
Either way, it glues me to you
Either way, it glues me to you
Reading you like my favorite book
Learning more each time
Writing new notes in the margins
All it took
Was a hundredth
Of a second
Of seeing your face
So woefully out of its place
To know the truth

Little Things

Little things matter most of all
These days I am on the lookout
The color of the dawning sky above
The window’s fog as the morning warms up
I have an inky suspicion
Dwelling in my belly
It may be another season
Before I get to feel, feel
I’m so thankful that I don’t live alone
‘Cause I already feel so isolated
The wind comes, adorned with children
Laughing from the neighbor’s houses
I have an inky suspicion
Dwelling in my belly
It could be another season
Before I get to feel
Feel something
(Feel skin on skin
Feel eye on eye
Feel hand on hand
Hands of friends of mine)
You see, little things matter most of all
These days I’m on the lookout
I’ve got a suspicion
It could be another season

Tough One
03:58
|
lyrics |
|
|
We were seven or eight
Maybe we were nine
We were staying a little late
After school one time
You handed me a note
In utter confidence
That I’d believe what you wrote
And then never speak of it
I broke your rule, and told her still
I swallowed down that bitter pill
And did what I felt was right to do
She said, like I did, she’d keep it as her own
But that only lasted till she grabbed the phone
When faced with it you said it wasn’t true
I don’t know why
This memory comes through
If I could do it twice
I’d fight harder for you
Part of me still quakes with fear
That what you wrote through withheld tears
Was truer than it ever should have been
If I had the knowledge I have today
That kids should be believed and kept safe
I swear I would have helped you win
I can’t believe I even
Had the slightest idea
What that word even meant
I knew it was bad
Something so bad
That it could not be taken back
It’s a tough truth
It comes over me from time to time
The ills of youth—
The very thing that cut our ties
You told them you lied
But I fear you told the truth
I think of you, and of him sometimes
And I wonder what he might be getting up to…

If you don’t like the weather here
You better find somewhere else and disappear
You’ve always been so good at that
And you’ve had lesser reason in the past
And the past don’t ever change
It’s one of the cruelest cards played
That we go over it again and again
And end up right back where we started
Yeah the past don’t ever change
And it’s one of the cruelest cards played
Think you’ve figured it out?
Then please, tell me — what’s it all about?
Been searching for some time
And sometimes it feels like a lifetime
(I can’t help myself)
But the past don’t ever change
It’s one of the cruelest cards played
That we go over it again and again
End up right back where we started
Yeah the past don’t ever change
And it’s one of the cruelest cards played

Spring (Out)
04:14
|
lyrics |
|
|
It’s spring now
And I can’t fathom how
Time moves so slow
But then - there it goes
It’s spring now
And I can’t fathom how
We’ll ever get to summer
Not like this, not like this
It might as well be winter
It might as well be snowing
It might as well be a blizzard
We might as well be frozen in
We’d all be inside
Hoping and dreaming
For the change
Of season
