Can I suggest something smart
something straight from the heart?
put me out of your mind
forget this place and time
Xxxxxx
The way you cared no matter what
left a little scar
where I once thought for sure
was a hole and not a heart
Xxxxxx

Faces everywhere
smiling glass-eyed
they don't know
whats looking for them
Smooth shapes
new colors
faster and faster
closer together
cant let go
but I cant stay either
maybe just melt
into a perfect connection
Signals tingling
fingers itching
cant pull back
and whose business is it?
So sure
of what is coming
halcyon days
of problems solved
a little faith
in modern appliances
modern perfection
in a perfect connection
Faces everywhere
smiling glass-eyed
they don't know
whats looking for them

We used to throw
sticks and stones
trying to hit the older kids
we never missed
but if we did
we'd still run like they hit
The games we'd play
to fill our days
running fast
we scared ourselves to laugh
everything was funny
with danger at our backs
Camouflaged
out of dodge
they couldn't catch us if they tried
but if they did
we'd take our hits
and pretend we'd never …
The games we'd play
to fill our days
running fast
we scared ourselves to laugh
everything was funny
with danger at our backs

A sun is rising out of your face
I can see it, I can see it
You glow when you smile
laugh like the sun exploding into morning
Cross my heart hope to die
if I don't see your face tonight
hope that doesn't sound too weird
but honesty is crystal clear
Lets tie a string
to both of our hearts
And if we get lost
our orbits come undone
we can tie that string into a knot
Cross my heart hope to die
if I don't see your face tonight
hope that doesn’t sound too weird
but honesty is crystal clear

Memories are tricky things
they don't wait for anything
In the car, in the mall
making diner, waiting for a call
They just hit you on the spot
things you never wanted in your thoughts
But what the fuck, just go with it
at least you have a mind that gives a shit
The good with the bad
the good with the bad
enjoy what you can
enjoy what you can
Wakes you up from a dream
to show you something you didn't need to see
Guilt, regret, embarrassment
useless things, just get over it
The good with the bad
the good with the bad
enjoy what you can
enjoy what you can

Pick up stones and throw them at the sun
hit it, it will shatter like a bulb
stretch your arm out to the moon
draw it in close to you
Fall asleep and when you dream
tell me what it is you see
a thousand years of peaceful nights
under your soft light
Whisper in a crater I am here
no matter what you say not going anywhere
the day is months or years from the dawn
soft light in darkness and calm
Fall asleep and when you dream
tell me what it is you see
a thousand years of peaceful nights
under your soft light
Forget the day that came before
If you leave you know I'll understand
but if you stay my heart will be at rest
damn the day its frenzied heart attack
if you leave you know I'll want you back
Fall asleep when you leave
you know exactly what I'll see
a thousand years of peaceful nights
under your soft light

In the darkness of the night
see a spirit wandering
catch it in a net
throw it in a bag and take it home with us
We don't mean you any harm
this is good for the both of us
we can hide under the bed
from all of our boring friends
Watching out the window
at moonlit swaying trees
lonely stars and satellites
miss your old life sending chills
down the spines of sensitives
We don't mean you any harm
this is good for the both of us
we can hide under the bed
from all of our boring friends

Sheepskin
slip right in
glove to mitt
perfect fit
Tiptoe
nice and slow
smile when you're supposed to smile
bite your tongue
In a little time, a little time
you will fit right in
nobody will recognize
the game that you've been playing
Make sure
the buttons stay done
the zipper stays up
and your tongue stays dumb
In a little time, a little time
you will fit right in
nobody will recognize
the game that you've been playing

Sharpen the edge
keep tabs on dull as it happens
need to cut through tomato skins
don't wanna watch for slippery surfaces
No I cant deny it
there are things we’ll always need
things we’ll always need
Feels like a cure
it feels like a cure
as simple as its pure
Hand washed and dried
hear the ringing down the summer street tonight
that's my idea of making a living
as then and now and could be forever
No I cant deny it
there are things we’ll always need
things we’ll always need
Feels like a cure
it feels like a cure
as simple as its pure

The wind's blowing hard
singing notes in its own key
in a song to bend and break mighty trees
a song to sing you asleep
A howling lullaby
The snow in your eyes
in the cones of streetlights
headlong into waves of stars
the calm of a winter storm
A fierce kind of peace
In the seconds before
the lights go out
you thank the wind and the snow
