I painted the tail and mane of the horse I stole today I'll ride right out of town and then I'll be on my way I'll find you
I used to live on main street in the center of everything I would watch the morning traffic I could hear the church bells ring
I look around It's very clear Everyone belongs somewhere
If I could find my way back to you
I love you!
I ride 'long side the highway Fast as any car can go I thought I would surely find you But I'm just so far from home
There's no reason to pretend I know this may be the end
If I could find my way back to you
What You Can't See Is
Part of me You're only really seeing part of me Got stuck on three Though there are more that hide behind a screen Like a bride whose eyes I might reveal
Mystery Why should this wall be right in front of me? Shadows all that I can ever see
Perfectly perfectly small Just the start of it That's all we may ever get
Deeper still There is a fault beneath me deeper still All we know Perfectly small, Just the start of it That's all we may ever get
Blue Tears
Stolen all my energy A hive without a honeybee Now I'll never find a way
Yellow fever burns my face Maybe it will never break This could be my final day!
These blue tears run down my cheek Fill my mouth, I cannot speak Run, run, run down my cheek This isn't me
Doubles will appear to you Troubles will increase by two That's what all the doctors say
Has there ever been a time When happiness and health were mine? Seems so very far away
Mythomania
Late at night When I'm awake And everyone has gone to sleep
I hear a noise From far away It's like nothing I've ever heard
I asked my brother "What is that sound That keeps me from sleeping?"
He said, "Every time we turn around The moon is laughing at us"
Now I know the truth But I can't keep still That frightening sound's still haunting me
You know by now He would've seen it all Just like the rest We'll come and go
The Loving Sun
Don't wanna give yourself away You can't imagine giving in Even trees will bend a little bit for the wind
Thought every thing was chosen for you Said, "Count to seventeen by twos If you can then all your dreams start coming true"
Carelessly the summer flew and time was borrowed Constantly the trade winds blew and fortune followed Like a flipped coin into the sky, the loving sun
Don't you know the frenzy's feeding on you? Your feet are free to take the lead And you know they'll go just where you wanna be
Gotta Get Into that Feeling
Gotta get into that feeling I would escape out of the ceiling
I can't relax now that it's time It's gotta be time
I'd like to freeze and never move again
I can't relax now that it's time I can't relax now that it's mine
I can't respond now that I'm here - Why should I be here?
One Block Wonders
Flower bloom beneath my room Banish all this winter gloom
It's been so many endless months That we have never seen the sun
Into the clouds and over the plain Now I can't hear you calling my name They say all things must fade away But I refuse to stay To hear you call my name
The Cage
We're batting our wings Against the wall We're batting our wings And maybe we'll fall
The cage is today!
The light's turning on I see all the shades The light's turning on How long will it stay?
In it a minute And we're gone
You said look behind What came before But how can you tell the sea from the shore? The moment to us Is always done Nothing becoming, the many or the one
The year is new It came in a flash The year is new It already passed
Galvanize
Peals of thunder, you galvanize me I found shelter way up in a tree While you pulled down the rain I can't even explain how it made me feel
It was quiet the moment when you came And you dared not show me your face So you blackened the sky And you doused all the lights And it rained for nights
Fields of poppy, you hypnotize me Now the storm made its way back to the sea And I saw the clouds Through a hole in the ground Drift under me
I'll Take the Long Way
Far away The years together When do we know?
Move us along Recount the weather Here's where we go The pattern's forever
With you, I'll take the long way
Weary we grow Anticipating what's never found
Walk below The tallest trees are shading We turn around While twilight is fading
With you, I'll take the long way home
New Spell
You promised me you'd tell no lies But I can see it's in your eyes
So now I have to read your mind To see what I can find
I thought we set the perfect scene Of modern love, but it can't be
The world may really want to change But for now it's still the same
But I've got a new spell Be careful what you say and do Yeah I've got a new spell Be careful what you say and do
'the cage' reminds me of a song by roo ra; it's a Korean pop music group, I'm almost certain you haven't heard of them because they're cheesy and "so 90s".
Haha what to get me for Christmas too! I kinda wish that guy was my godfather or something... I imagine he has chests full of that type of instrument in his attic- ok maybe not... but it was a good thought.
I'm loving the album too!!! In regards to music, you have already made this year worth while. Thanks for posting the lyrics also... I enjoy reading feelings.
It seems I'm not going to be able to see a show though... by the time you come through Portland I'll be working in Memphis and by the time you likely roll through Memphis I'll be bumming in Thailand. I swear I'm not running away from your shows intentionally though....
Yes, lyrics! Thanks so much for posting these. By the way, I don't know if I told Nedelle in my email, but you guys are welcome to use the review I wrote for any publicity stuff if you so choose. It's on my Google blog "Jessicana." Yay! Keep up the inspiring musical goodness.
I can't help but think that there is a feud going on. I hope I'm just imagining it.
ReplyDeletealso, could you guys post the lyrics for your new album? I'm enjoying it very much.
what feud?? here are the lyrics!
