The Loop
No more second chance
Nowhere to run
You want a race?
You won
I’m giving it to you
Overhead the fire, clouds, and sun
Your frozen face was stung
A summer shade of blue
One more time
Through the hoop
Two more times
Loop the loop
Three more seconds
‘Til the bomb drops on your head
It’s too late to take back what you said
No more filling pages
with your youth
You’re taught a chosen truth
That nothing is so new
A shadow now is rising high above
The look when you first loved
Has faded out of view
One more time
Through the hoop
Two more times
Loop the loop
Three more seconds
‘Til the bomb drops on your head
It’s too late to take back what you said
It’s too late to take back what you said
It’s too late
What You Wanted to Hear
Did I say what you wanted to hear?
Did I say
Did I say what you wanted to hear?
Did I say
Too much too fast
I blinked it passed
When might we
Finally get over ourselves
Don’t hold your breath
This mighty step
Might take us
A couple years longer
Did I say what you wanted to hear?
Did I say
Did I say what you wanted to hear?
Did I say
Finally the thing
Those bells will ring
So loud it knocks us both over
And there on our backs
Free to attack
We think and decide to roll closer
Did I say what you wanted to hear?
Did I say
Did I say what you wanted to hear?
Did I say
Answers
Another day
Another chance to lie awake in bed
How can I say
To you the things I need to say?
In time, I will
I can’t find the answers here
I can’t breathe, I’m stranded here
I can’t sleep another year here
Another day
Another chance to climb my way uphill
How can I say
To you the things I need to say?
In time, I will
I can’t find the answers here
I can’t breathe, I’m stranded here
I can’t sleep another year here
I can’t find the answers here
I can’t breathe, I’m stranded here
I can’t sleep another year here
Don’t Panic
Looking for a fight
All through Saturday night
Into Sunday morning
We growl if we don’t bite
Feeling so untied
I’m being cut loose by the knives in your eyes
Spinning out
And crashing down alive
Don’t Panic
Just breathe out after in
Don’t Panic
You’re safe in your skin
Don’t panic
You can grow and start again
Staring down the light
‘Til it’s just about gone from your sight
You’re blinded, stranded,
But left alone and finally right
Straight away casing the joint
You can’t help asking, “what’s the point”?
In waiting for someone
To come along and rescue you
Don’t Panic
Just breathe out after in
Don’t Panic
You’re safe in your skin
Don’t panic
You can grow and start again
Where Joy Kills Sorrow
Hey J, I thought I might find you up
I know it’s really late to call
But I need to fill my cup
Hey J, I made it up on my feet
I’m gonna walk slowly down
To wherever you are
I’ll find that street
Hey J, I thought I might find you up
I know it’s not to late to call
Share one more drink from our cup
Unwind
It’s only to you I sing
You wrote the words
No hidden meaning
Unwind this careful plot
A fancy new kind
of sailor’s knot
At will we meet again
In California’s
middle end
Of time, we used to say
We had enough
For one more day
Somehow, I can feel the days slipping away
It’s only to you I sing
You wrote the words
No hidden meaning
Ugly
Now dear, let’s not get ugly
Let’s not lose the only thing we got
We talked, sometimes listened
But we don’t give it up
Like we used to
Maybe it’s my fault
I shoulda seen it coming
Shoulda sat you you down
And told you to give it up
Now dear, I’m just drifting
Just reacting to whatever’s thrown at me
I think I got a lot more inside to give
And when we get alone
I feel an urge to live
But this living’s got me down
If I can’t locate the sound of your voice
Light the Way
We’re gonna find a way
Not to destroy ourselves
And we’re gonna find a way
To redeem ourselves this time
We’re gonna find our way
Love’s gonna light the way
Back home, once again
We’re gonna greet the day
When we smile brightly
Hand in hand, arm in arm
We’ll go lightly
We’re gonna find our way
Love’s gonna light the way
Back home, once again
Home, we are home,
Home
Be Love
Put down your water
And take up your wine
Swim through the waves
I think you’ll do fine
Let’s take our chances
Let’s take our time
And always be kind
Ask forgiveness
When you don’t need none
Speak your mind
And praise the sun
They’ll always be someone
Who can crush you like a bug
So always be love
Sip from the tea leaves
And then break your bread
Roam with the ghosts
They’ll keep you well fed
There’s always a reason
And you can be sure
So hold on, there’s more
There’s always a reason
And you can be sure
So hold on, there’s more
