01-Favorite Cities
So it's grey, well so are my favorite cities
And we have, we have all the time in the world here
We'll just stay tucked in the shade and our eyes they can't be blinded
We'll just stay tucked in the shade
So it's grey, well so are my favorite cities
And the sky on such a memorable night
And we have, we have all the time in the world here
That's a lie, that's a lie...
02-The New Year
We pried open my window
Let the summer flush in
And we laughed with the new air
Now I lay and watch the green leaves
Dance and whisper sweet breath
A promise of a new year
On this day, we were born into the new year
And after the winter broke
We held hands and we ran
And we agreed that it had been a long one
03-Seven Days
Seven Days of low worth
Keep me hovering above the ground
The nights just blend into the morning
Definition is the fist to go down
If I were to stay here between us
I might forget where I’m bound
So I can’t stay in between us
…guess I’ll walk away
I’m here to read the future
But forced to breathe out the past
And too many conversations
To uncover what was purposefully lost
I know we all look so desperate
Showing the guidance that we lack
And we used to be so wistful
I guess we feel it’s safer holding back
If I were to stay here between us
I might forget where I’m bound
So I can’t stay in between us
…guess I’ll walk away
04-Home
Just an hour and we'll be home
With my family that I chose
You're my family
And on the pavement still gripping the phone
You came and wrapped your arms around my soul
And we were shaking
You're so much a part of me
And so this is why i'm here
And when we called you
You came so fast
And sat beside me while hours and days past
I'll always thank you for that
And there you were
With your heart made of gold
So strong, the only thing holding us up
And we knew you would always be so close
And so this is why I'm here
And then there's you
You always made us laugh
And you'd help us to find the right path
And there is no one as full of life
And so this is why I'm here
05-How You Remember
And you tread on the water,
when you know you can touch the bottom now.
It's the southern way, said your mother,
"Stay in shallow, shallow water, don't touch the ground."
But then a slithering, sliding form,
catches you before you reach the shore.
And as he strikes full of venom, you reach out towards the trouble.
You've got him now, but how.
And you thrust him to the sky.
Arms raised high you make a Y.
There is no fear, there is no pain inside,
as you twist and ride.
This is how you remember yourself;
This is how you remember yourself.
Arms raised high, needing no help,
this is how you remember yourself.
And you know you can't keep this steady goes,
must release him somehow.
As you loosen your hold, find you felt it is all over now,
his body lifeless and cold, you throw him down.
And you raise your arms up to the sky
Raised high you make a Y.
There is no fear, there is no pain inside,
as the sun still shines, on these drying eyes.
This is how you remember yourself.
This is how you remember yourself.
Arms raised to heaven, needing no help,
this is how you remember yourself.
Oooo (x3)
This is how you remember yourself. (x8)
06-Trees Keep Growing
I never expected you to love me
The way i loved you
To have you near
Was all
I wanted
Just to have you near
It's funny how you can forget there's a world outside yourself
Where the trees keep growing and the cars keep moving
Without you there
Land it's funny how you can forget there's a world outside yourself
Where the one who loves you keeps on living
Without you there
07-A Thousand Years
i'm saving all i'm not giving
but it's overflowing evaporating in the air
as i'm walking and no i'm not breathing
i'm not breathing only air
cuz it's filled with words once spoken
by people everywhere
and i can hear all the whispers
that have lived a thousand years
it just took me being open
for them to reach my eager ears
now they've reached my eager ears
and i hope i'll be ready when my life
when my life divides
when my life divides
08-While I'm Still Young
With the brushing of our shoulders
I lived a life with you
We had a son or daughter who had my eyes
And your laughter echoed after you
All of this in a brief stare
A feleeting glimpse of happiness shared
That made our bodies burn and shiver
As we passed each other unaware
I am not to think of your face, of your name
For when i do, you are there
Lying next to another
I can only wonder
Lesse mon cour vous abondonne
Depuis je suis encore jeune
09-Your Weak Hands
You held my hand
Led me to the water
You pushed me in
I went under
They were your firm hands
That made me falter
You held my hand
Led me to the altar
You wept for me
Lord, absolve her
They were your weak hands
That made me stronger
You held my hand
Led me homeward
I looked for you
You were nowhere
Holding tight my hand
Was my own
10-We Exchanged Words
we exchanged words
through smoke-filled mouths.
and then we found our bodies
speaking loud
and our hearts rest against the flesh
trading stories of loves
pain, doubt, and rivaling insecurities
when did we learn to speak without works
and in tongues
maybe we should just stop here
11-Raining In Athens
Still I think of you baby
and how I grew old with you there.
And this summer you'll call maybe
and act, as if we were old friends.
"You'd say, how are you baby?"
"I'd say, it's raining in Athens."
It's raining in Athens.
And to this day
I mester a fever
that's spoiled my poor heart.
And I've mastered the art of dealing
slipping away
without falling apart.
So in the summer
you'll call maybe
and ask how i've been.
I can be honest
and answer plainly,
"Since November it's been raining."
It's raining in Athens.
12-Rest Your Eyes
You said
To write you a song
So here
This is for you
Now as you toss
Through those lonely nights
Just know there's someone thinking of you
Everyone is waiting for the timing to be right
And we hope it's coming soon
So just rest your eyes
And then we'll be in love
Again
We talk
And the moon is bright
You words were glowing
As they drifted out of sight
Now the change
Of the season sets in
And nothing
Nothing feels just right
We fear these nights
And then we compromise
Yeah, the morning always comes
So, just rest your eyes
And then
We'll be in love
Again.
So just rest your eyes
And then
We'll be in love
Again
Just rest your eyes
And then
We'll be in love again.
So it's grey, well so are my favorite cities
And we have, we have all the time in the world here
We'll just stay tucked in the shade and our eyes they can't be blinded
We'll just stay tucked in the shade
So it's grey, well so are my favorite cities
And the sky on such a memorable night
And we have, we have all the time in the world here
That's a lie, that's a lie...
