To Say Or To Do

A gift of gold, the one thing right
A reason now, the homeward flight
Behind the window pane the brightest light
The things you know, the wind that bites
A message scrawled, the fist that's tight
Outside the window pane the darkest night
But that's alright
Tap on the glass
If I block the view
I'm just looking inside
To catch a glimpse of you
Reasons for holding on
You know I got a few
I've got things to say
You've got things to do
What was simple
Turned to stone
All the clothes we wore
All outgrown
Every road
So unknown
But every garden now
A new seed sown
Tap on the glass
If I block the view
I'm just looking inside
To catch a glimpse of you
Reasons for holding on
You know I got a few
I've got things to say
You've got things to do
Don't forget I'm right outside your door
forever more
Reasons for holding on
You know I got a few
I've got things to say
You've got things to do

The Ride

I Lift you up
I let you down
Now you've found the elevator
Pick a floor and do not linger
Go up
And then come down
Millions of rows of shiny buttons
Close your eyes and just start pushing
And a whole new world has opened for you now
A whole new world has opened for you now
The sign upon the wall says
The trick is not to fall
Let me follow where ever you may roam
The ride could never last forever
But it's good to tag along
Gather your crumbs and find your way back home
The ride could never last forever
But it's good you had a song
Doors open up
We tumble out
The train pulls into the station
So we climb on board and forget our reasons
And a whole new world is rushing toward you now
A whole new world is rushing toward you now
The sign up on the wall
Said don't forget to fall
Let me follow where ever you may roam
The ride could never last forever
But it's good to tag along
Gather your crumbs and find your way back home
The ride could never last forever
But it's good you had a song
The road; it won't be built by you alone
Let me follow where ever you may roam
Gather your crumbs and find your way back home

She's The Sun

There she goes
She's walking away but she'll be back I know
Another day
Spinning wheels but the world's not worth our time anyway
The ocean got jealous of Katie's eyes
It tried to ape her color but it could not get it right
Now that's my story forever
Everybody wants a piece of my girl but they're never gonna get her
She's the one
I'm lovin her madly
She's the sun
And I'm the lowly rain
I sink in the ground
But she throws the rope and pulls me out
I'm a ghost and never found
But she shines the light and brings me round
It's crazy that somethin could come out of nothin
Like Jesus just walked in the room and he threw his bread down
So let's give in together
We made the earth out of dust and now we just gotta live there
She's the one
I'm loving her madly
She's the sun
And I'm the lowly rain
And around I go again
Take a pill and a day
You're gonna see it my way
She's all that I wanted
And that's all I was ever looking for
Now that's my story forever
So let's give in together

You Can Stop Running Now

Just like a butterfly she’s changed
Alone in the open sky, no trees no clouds no rain
Only yesterday she cried
Do you feel better now or just good at pulling your hat way down
And she’ll rise
From the ruins we’ve made
And the lie
Is that something’s changed
And she’ll rise
From the blasted ground
Don’t cry
It’s ok you’re home girl
You can stop running now
Bar your door the devil rides
Its holding an old cracked mirror
So it’s best to hide your eyes
A broken hand and a bandaged heart
Your legs are twisted and the road is uphill from the start
But you’ll rise
From the ruins we’ve made
And the lie
Is that something’s changed
And she’ll rise
From the blasted earth
Don’t cry
It’s ok you’re home girl
You can stop running now
If every day’s the first day that you know
If there’s no place you can hide to let it go
If you’re the only one who knows your name
Can anybody outside feel the same
Hey I’ve turned my light on come inside
Take off your jeweled mask it’ll be alright
There’s nothing that you need to be for me
And I don’t have to ask
And you don’t have to answer
If it’s all the same girl
Though your not the same girl
It’s ok you’re home girl
You can stop running now

Bright Eyes

Ooooo
There's something inside you
The air and the night is new
And all I can do is cry about my bad luck
Hey
The morning's dawning gray
Like it does most every day
But from you beams a light that fades the sunshine
The bird knows of the sky
And that's all right
But he don't know the dark inside
This deep blue heart of night
And that's why I love your
Bright eyes
Ohhh
I hope you never know
How dark the world does grow
A footstep falls and echoes with no sound
Ooooo
A patch of earth and sky
A hole we must keep dry
A broken chance that's left for you to gather
The bird can fly so high
And that's all right
But he can't find his way from hell
Through the cold hard ground to light
And that's why I need your
Bright eyes
You're not from around here no
You're from somewhere I can't go
Oh, but this is home now
You, you found your way here somehow
So it just makes sense to stay
You can't go back anyway
And I, I know you know me
The bird can fly so high
And that's all right
But love it lives down way down low where
Every breath's a fight
And that's why I love your
Why I need your
Bright eyes
