Black Lagoon

Let's take a trip from the other side of town
It might take us a while but who knows what might be found
in the deepest darkest forest, or in the waters cold embrace
of that muddy murky river by the tracks of that old place
It's half an hour to the corner store walking down 138th
couldn't let you go the whole way
When we got to the forest shortcut we ventured deep inside
and we separated from space and time
with the chorus that you sang with the words all painted red
and we jumped into the water with our clothes still on
and we hid away for years in that forest by the road
waiting for the stars to disappear, and we were young
My vision's filled with a green and grey blur
of city sidewalks nestled in a forest still so pure
and I can see the red lights flashing and the chaos in the street
but in that black lagoon it all melts down around your feet
And I can hear that freight train coming from a mile down the track
and once I leave the city I ain't never coming back
but if I could say just one thing that I'll miss about that place
is that humble little forest where we hid so many days
And I didn't know about it then but I can listen to it now
I can hear that cold stream cutting through the silence
and as we sat below that bridge in the dirt and in the mud
I could hear that lonesome trumpet calling
And we were young

Say Goodbye
05:18

If I were to tell you that I lost everything I had,
would you still want me?
And If I were to tell you who I am,
and to tell you what I've done still haunts me
And I know that you're a thousand miles away and it all seems so unreal but I'm trying to put my feet back on the ground
And I know I won't be convincing you to stay, but It's just what I feel
I just really liked having you around
In the morning time when you're at my door after driving 20 hours
In the ice and snow on a busy road and I just couldn't figure out
Why, oh, why you'd run to me
Why you'd grab my heart and flee
Why you'd laugh and why you'd cry
Why'd you have to say goodbye
If I were to tell you that I lost everything I ever was,
would you still want me?
and if I tell you that my mind is filled with so much uncertainty
And the moment that you looked away, there was a smile on my face
that you never got to see
And I packed my bags and hid myself away,
so when we hung out yesterday I just didn't know what to say
In the evening time when I needed more alcohol just to say all of the things I wanted to say to you before it was too late like
Why, oh, why you'd run to me
Why you'd grab my heart and flee
Why you'd laugh and why you'd cry
Why'd you have to say goodbye

Electronic Heartache

Electronic heartache is bringing me down
and I don't know if it'll let me get back up off the ground
Electronic heartache's got me singing again
cause I still see you in the mirror and I don't know when it'll end
Electronic heartache's pulling me to you
yeah it's tugging on my heart and I just don't know what to do
Electronic heartache, I feel it in my dreams
and in every single memory of you and me
It seems that I'm stuck here again in this barren empty space
cause this electronic heartache has come to take my place
and I still feel you laying next to me and the touch of your lips
cause this electronic heartache's got me tightly in its grips
Sometimes I wish those days could have lasted forever
But now it's over and I'm waiting for the day that we're together
and I know that things will be different cause, a lot has been said
but I'm still tryna figure out where I'm at inside your head
and you say that you want me and yeah that's plain to see
so now this electronic heartache is coming back to me

Your Heart
07:10
|

I've been waiting so damn long,
Been skirting round the outside of the contents of that song
The one that we recited time and time again
and though we spoke the words, we didn't know what they meant
From the outside looking in I've got you floating off the ground
never saw what could have been and never made a sound
And I remember that old song that we recited time again
And although we spoke the words, we didn't know what they meant
Now you're floating off the ground but nothing really matters
Didn't have to make a sound but I could hear it through the chatter
Your Heart

Time to Go
06:28
|

Staring out your open window, the warm summer breeze in my face
Blowing smoke to the sky, I lost my mind but found my place
Where did I go for all that time? I had to run against the tide
I found something I meant not to discover
That's the price you pay without a guide
I've been gone for so long, and I'm trying to hold on
Cause now it seems like nowhere I go is home
and now the pressure is on and I can't say no
The world's our theater and we're the show
but the green light is flashing, it's time to go
Just walk away from all your problems
Try to save yourself
How many times have I tried to get better?
and how many times have I tried to make right?
No matter how many times I just keep slipping under,
it feels the weight of the world's in my arms tonight
I've been gone for so long, and I'm trying to hold on
Cause now it seems like nowhere I go is home
and now the pressure is on and I can't say no
The world's our theater and we're the show
but the green light is flashing, it's time to go
I've been lying to myself
I've been waiting on a change
When I saw you on the bus the other day
you said you felt that you were locked in a cage, but I'll set you free
I've been gone for so long, and I'm trying to hold on
And I don't know if I'm right or if I'm wrong
But I know that I gotta move along
Cause now it seems like nowhere I go is home
and now the pressure is on and I can't say no
The world's our theater and we're the show
but the green light is flashing, it's time to go

She
02:36
|

She takes her coffee black
Drives with her window cracked
She's picking up the slack
She knows it's just an act
She seizes everyone
She knows it's just for fun
That girl can get it done
She's always on the run
Don't try to play with her
You'll want to stay with her
She'll make you sick for sure
Then offer you the cure

Walking back from my house,
don't know if you couldn't tell but I made it to the end of the road
Dipped in by the corner store just to get rid of my change
and continued towards the western shore
I can't see the finish line so I don't know when to stop
but the engines on and the light is green to go
Pushed towards the setting sun for fields that weren't so grey
in hopes that I'd find something
More, more, than I've ever had before
Now the lights are dimming and I'm walking out the door
and I know that yesterday we were sitting in the sun
but now it's time for me to find something more
I spent some time on the east coast and I spent some on the west
I even took my mind to outer space
Don't you know that it never ever seems to be enough
to fend off that feeling to escape
Cause I want more, more, than I've ever seen before
Now the lights are dimming and I'm walking out the door
and I know that yesterday we were sitting in the sun
but now it's time for me to find something more
Now I've washed the windows and I see it oh so clear
I back tracked just to see it once again
and I know that I'm a grain of sand upon a beach
just waiting for the next wave to wash over me
Cause I want more, more, than I've ever seen before
Now the lights are dimming and I'm walking out the door
and I know that yesterday we were sitting in the sun
but now it's time for me to find something more

Shimmer
06:00
|

I met the girl of my dreams tonight
but I was too afraid to tell her
We spent hours by the candle light
Whenever she laughed it made me shiver
I met the girl of my dreams tonight
but I was too afraid to kiss her
She gave me everything I needed
but I just could not deliver
I met the girl of my dreams tonight
but I was too afraid to love her
She wandered by in the evening
and left her print on me forever
Now she's leaving in the morning
but there's still a thousand things I wanna tell her
I saw her lick her lips and look me in the eyes
and I watched her eyes shimmer
I met the girl of my dreams tonight
But I was too afraid to tell her
