The One Thing
04:13

|||
Always wanting what I can't have
Always wanting what I can't have
The light is green but I don't wanna go
And when it's red I plow ahead
Reaching for what's taken
Cuz those are the best ones
Timing's a bitch sometimes
But we just can't know these things
No matter how smart we are
No matter how much we do
Now matter how hard we try
We still submit to time
Never fully accepting
Cuz I'm busy regretting
Life is still moving on
These memories holding strong
This world is a big one
Ready to take you in
Suddenly this town's small
gotta find a new place to begin
No matter how smart we are
No matter how much we do
Now matter how hard we try
We still submit to time
Always wanting the one thing (one thing)
That's not there for the taking
Wanting the one thing (one thing)
That's not there for the taking
Even when taking it (taking it)
Would lead to it breaking
Wanting the one thing...
(x2)
End:
Wanting the one thing (x3)
Always wanting the one thing
That's not there for the taking
When the light is red
And I plow ahead
Reaching for what I want
But it just can't be (x5)

Cracks
04:31
|

Walkin down the sidewalk and there’s cracks all by my feet
Grass is tryin’a grow through but it’s still to small to see
I think about my mind and how it’s similar to this
How all the stuff inside becomes lost in an abyss
I sift and sift and sift and sift and can’t come up with gold
I worry that this will repeat itself until I’m old
I call my lover on the phone, he doesn’t pick up then
He’s busy working while I’m at home slaving to my pen
I toss and turn for hours it’s another sleepless night
Thoughts composed of everything and anything in sight
When bed cannot console you it seems that few things can
When night betrays you nothing’s left; you’re left alone to fend
But worry not my lonely child; you’ll make it through these hours
You’ll look back on this lonely night and you will feel empowered
Daddy’s on the porch sanding down the stain
Mommy’s cleaning all the floors and all the windowpanes
Sometimes I just disappear, I can’t detect my space
I look into a mirror scanning for a trace
All I see are hints and clues, the lines around my eyes
Hinting at a time that I laughed or I cried
(x2)
Oooh
Don’t look now you’re growing up, you’ll be a big girl soon
And in time you won’t have to live in this tiny room
Walking down the jetty to the farthest rock I can
It’s funny how you feel far out while still next to the land
Fog consumes me and my view I’m drifting far away
Drifting far away
Drifting far away…
Fog consumes me and my view I’m drifting far away
And as far as I’m concerned this world has passed away
Oooh

The Ground
03:08
|

Foxes have holes and birds have nests
But the Son of Man has no place to lay His head
We’re walking around upon the ground
Toiling, tilling, worshipping ’til we’re dead
But even on this ground there’s something to be found
Deep inside a seed waits to come to light
Live a lot inside your skin
Sink into your numbered days with Him
(x2)
Oooh
Foxes have holes and birds have nests
But the Son of Man has no place to lay His head

Where do you go at night

You'll Walk Away
04:11
|

Mmmm
I use words, you use notes
And I am so afraid that you won’t know
Exactly what I, I am trying to say
Just waiting for that fateful hour that you’ll walk away
I use conversation, you use chords
I sit here and question it all and you’re just sure
You see in colors, I see in shapes
Something tells me that you’ll be gone once my color fades
Oooh
I see mountains, you see hills
I am overwhelmed and you’re just still
Either our differences will mend up these cracks
Or we’ll just fall apart and I’ll see your back
Oooh
I use words, you use notes
And I am so afraid that you won’t know
Exactly what I am trying to say
Just waiting for that fateful hour that you’ll walk away
You’ll walk away

Whispering/Yelling
03:56
|

Whispering, yelling
Eyes open and closed
Stars were just in the sky
Now the sun rose
Walking then running
Jump and then fall
Mothers and fathers
Their children they call
Call, call, call, call, call, call, call (x4)
It’s been too long since someone has said
“You are my love, dear, and this is our bed.”
My face is cold now,
No lips have touched
No one to sing to the songs that I love
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love (x4)
Life can be up and then it is down
We never know which one will come ‘round
People are mean, people are nice
It’s nature’s game to roll the dice
Oooh
Whispering, yelling
Eyes open and closed
Stars were just in the sky
Now the sun rose
Walking then running
Jump and then fall
Mothers and fathers
Their children they call
Call, call, call, call, call, call, call (x4)
It’s been too long since someone has said
“You are my love, dear, and this is our bed.”
My face is cold now,
No lips have touched
No one to sing to the songs that I love
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love (x4)
Life can be up and then it is down
We never know which one will come ‘round
People are mean, people are nice
It’s nature’s game to roll the dice
Oooh

Girl on the Hill
03:44
|

Up through the grass
Side of the hill
She sits and waits
Perfectly still
Nothing has come
Nothing has gone
She sits and waits
Looking for dawn
Girl on the hill
Where are you from?
Why do you wait
Though nothing has come?
The town is all grown
and seen you grow too
Now they are all gone
But you have not moved
They are all gone
But you have not moved
Weeds start to grow
A ball around her
A fair warning they give
We don’t decipher
Please, girl on the hill
Come down from your throne
We’ve nothing for you
You’ll die here alone
We have nothing for you
You’ll die here alone
But she twiddles her thumbs
Plays with the grass
Crosses her legs
Bats her lash
Nothing has come
Nothing has gone
She’ll sit here and wait
Looking for dawn
Sit here and wait
Looking for dawn
Sit here and wait…
Girl on the hill
Come down from your throne
Go into the world
And wait no more
Oooh (x4)
Ahhh (x4)

Blazing Sun
02:16
|

Growing in the blazing sun
Melting into the ground
Pink and purple and orange sky
Makes me think that I can fly
Turns into a studded blue
Stars and planets and nightbirds too
Oooh

Waves
03:06
|

When the rain comes down it’ll be alright
When the sun comes up it’ll be alright
When the moon comes out it’ll be alright
When the waves are high it’ll be alright
Oooh
When the children grow it’ll be alright
When their beds are empty it’ll be alright
When the floorboards bend it’ll be alight
When your body aches it’ll be alright
Oooh
When you find your lover isn’t right
When you question everything in sight
When your whole perspective changes light
Just know that I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright (x4)

Enter In
03:31
|
|||
There’s a little doorway to my mind
There’s a little window to my heart
There’s a little pathway through my eyes
Leading you into my secret place
I cannot control just who will enter
Some will knock and others won’t even see
Secret places found by those who’re looking
Only curious will stumble in
Icicles from winter now are melting
So too are the ones around my heart
Bleeding through the trees I see the sunshine
I feast on it until I’m filled with light
Ice from ‘round my doorway now is melting
Windows dusted off and opened wide
Leaves are cleared from off the pathway through my eyes
Now there’s room for love to enter in
Now there’s room for love to enter in
Now there’s room for love to enter in

Leave Your Ghosts Behind
02:57
|
|||
You gotta leave your ghosts behind
You gotta leave your ghosts behind
For they will follow until the end
Unless you burn the threads
It doesn’t matter where they’re from
It doesn’t matter from where they come
All your ghosts leave you just the same
In a box with no courage and no name
If this is all a dream
You’re ghosts aren’t as big as they seem
A weak piece of thread is the only path
That binds you to their wrath
So you gotta leave your ghosts behind
They’re neither funny nor are they kind
They feed on fear and drink your tears
You gotta leave your ghosts behind
You gotta leave your ghosts behind
Oooh
