Looking Skyward

I thought I drowned
But here I'm found again
Never knowing when I'll become lost again
I'll just be lost again
I'm finding out
It never settles down
I'm still but things are spinning all around me
All around me
I thought I died
But here I am alive
Lying down but looking skyward
Looking skyward

Fucking or Afraid

If there's a shadow in the night
That can move my soul
Show yourself, show yourself
I'm too young to be old
I'm too young to be old
I'm too stupid and young
For the good times to be old times
Show yourself, show yourself
Till that morning bell chimes
You've till that morning bell chimes
If there's a shaking in the night
From a room down the way
It's wonderful or terrible
They're either fucking or afraid
They're fucking or afraid
Fool me once I'll never know
And again, over my head
But you better think twice
You better think twice
Because nice guys don't play nice

One of Us
03:55

Will we meet again old sunrise
You’re arrived somewhere new
One of us was always acting unwise
I can’t say it was you
One of us is leaving forever
But I’ll never say goodbye
We’ve both got tickets to wherever
For whenever it feels right
One of us will leave the other’s side
To go and see the other side
One of us will fill our eyes with wonder
While the other lies asleep
One of us is fleeing this nowhere
To go where they’ll be free
One of us is leaving and to be fair
I don't think that it’s me
One of us will leave the other's side
To go and see the other side
One of us will fill our eyes with dreams
While the other lies and dreams
Will we meet again old sunrise
You’re alive and I am dead
Just before we open our eyes
You’ll arrive overhead

Holy Hands

Holy hands
I will hold you till the end
I'll be the sky
Till you're so drunk on stargazing
I look like a painting
Set out to dry
Hold my hand
When no one understands
Close your eyes
There's nothing to change
When something's so amazing
Inside

Free and Alone
04:01
|
|||
|
The traffic lights are luminescent apples on a string
Shining out over everyone and everything
There's nothing you could say that I don't already believe
Because I'm free
The only love I knew was a domesticated love
I was looking all around but not below or up above
There's nothing you could show me that I don't already see
Because I'm free
Find out you were always what you never want to be
I guess that's why you find yourself always lonely but always free
Try to leave a light behind wherever I should roam
Free and alone

Seen This Road Before
02:45
|
|||
|
Blinded by sunlight
Ravaged by insight
Something's changed inside me
Fanned the flame inside me
I've seen this road before
But it's never looked so nice
Chasing a feeling
Always felt like stealing
Gave up the race inside me
So flowers can bloom beside me
I've seen this road before
But it's never looked so nice

When She's Around
02:39

There is no kind of law
No contract we signed with the darkness we saw
There is no kind of fee
No debt that we owe to the depths of the sea
And you’re lucky to see
When she’s around
When she’s around
When she’s around
She’s the smile on the heels of the frown
Across your face
I’ll tell you about heaven
she looks like you thought she would when you were seven
I’ll tell you about her
When you’re as old as i was when i finally found her
You just have to find her
When she’s around
When she’s around
When she’s around
She’s the sky that is over the ground
And she’s shining today
And you’ll find her someday

Morning is Coming

Like a stormy winter
Dee-ah dee-ah
Like a stormy winter
We are coming on
Been left with nothing
Dee-ah dee-ah
Been left with nothing
But we've got it all
Tell them we're coming
Dee-oh dee-oh
Tell them we're coming
So they know
It's overcoming
Dee-ow dee-ow
It's overcoming
That we've chosen now
We are becoming
Dee-ay dee-ay
We are becoming
Like the rain
A storm is raging
Dee-ee dee-ee
A storm is raging
And it's you and me
The birds are humming
Dee-ee dee-ee
The birds are humming
And they see
That morning is coming
Dee-ee dee-ee
That morning is coming
From behind the trees
The morning is coming
And it's you and me
