Mirage
04:09
|
|||
You let yourself go back again
Though you know it’s not the same, you still pretend
You try to find that better life
But you're circling with no place to arrive
There's nothing there for you
And never really was
Just a beautiful mirage
Lurking in the sun and dust
You let yourself fall down again
You lost your footing and blame it on the wind
I want to help, what can I do?
We're family aren't we, me and you
There's nothing there for you
And never really was
Just a beautiful mirage
Lurking in the sun and dust

Landslide
03:30
|
|||
You’re just like a landslide in motion
There’s nothing I can say to hold you back
Crashing through the trees with a resolution
To break down everything within your path
Let’s not pretend there’s nothing going on
I know exactly what you’re running from
You’re just like a landslide in motion
A natural force that swells up from the ground
Coming out of nowhere, moving fast
There’s nothing I can say to slow you down
Let’s not pretend there’s nothing going on
I know exactly what you’re running from

Sky
03:30
|
|||
Looking out through tangled branches
Trying to see what lies ahead
Waiting for the fog to break
So I can see where this road ends
I’m just driving, burning time
And hoping soon i’ll recognize
A passing landmark, a destination
That I can say was worth the drive
I know by now it won’t come easy
Always feeling miles away
The destination changes daily
We can’t make up our minds anyway
You can’t pin down what you want so badly
In the drifting shadows of your mind
Searching for that perfect signal
We can’t stop staring at the sky
I know by now it won’t come easy
Always feeling miles away
The destination changes daily
We can’t make up our minds anyway

Figures
05:06
|
|||
I’ve always had a poor sense of direction
Yet I’m walking in the middle of the night
in a distant place that’s far across the ocean
and everything I recognize is far behind
I can hear the stray dogs following
Running down my confidence
The figures in the shadows conspiring
I’m so completely out of place
I said that I knew my way back from memory
Now i’m running through the alleys after dusk
Knocking on the wrong doors looking for you
Looking for a way back to my own resolve
And I can hear the stray dogs following
I start to lose my confidence
The figures in the shadows conspiring
I’m so completely out of place
I hear you call my name into the darkness
I see your figure outlined in the light
I know your voice, it sounds like home to my ears
Even when nothing else is certain in the night

Drifting
04:04
|
|||
Drifting too far out
Trying to get back to that solid ground
Feels like I'm losing speed
And I can't seem to move my feet
Too far out to swim
All I want is to be back home again
Surrounded on all sides
By waters I don’t recognize
Gone too long without the sun
Everything is left undone
Out of focus, out of reach
Like falling in and out of sleep
Looking at the shore
But it feels farther than before
The wind will come and go
It feels like i’ve lost all control
Out too late, can see the sun
Everything has come undone
Out of focus, out of reach
Falling in and out of sleep

Hold On
03:46
|
|||
I can hardly sleep
I feel those footsteps following
It’s something strange
I can’t explain
It pulls me like a tide
And then it leaves me out to dry
I can’t keep up
With all this change
All I can do is hold on
Where’s the time I spent?
It seems like summer came and went
Without a sound
I can’t slow down
I can’t keep running from this ghost
Afraid of what i’ll never know
The only safe place is with you now
All I can do is hold on
All we can do is hold on

Wishing Well
04:08
|
|||
I’m losing sleep,
wondering
If my hours spent
will amount to anything
Just pennies dropped in a wishing well
The minutes spill
grain by grain
I feel too young
to worry about these things
the neighborhood we know is changing
A few short years could reorder everything
We run around in circles
following the shadows we cast
The elusive dreams, we keep watching
through the weathered glass
I don’t need
I don’t need
I don’t need something to be
I don’t need
I don’t need
I don’t need something to be

Green Valleys
03:54
|
|||
Now your body aches for sleep
But your mind won’t stop
All around the valley’s steep
And you can’t climb up
It stretches deep
It’s clear to see
Relief will come
And i won’t leave
Down in here we’ll stay
And in time we’ll be ok
We’ll wait for the sun to come
And watch all the shadows run
Away
Look how far we’ve come to be
Right where we are
I’ll be with you till we’re there
No matter near or far
The valley’s green
We’re in between
But everything
Is growing
Down in here we’ll stay
I know in time we’ll be ok
So we’ll wait for the sun to come
And watch all the shadows run away

Sun in the Window
03:20
|
|||
Quiet and dark
As the train left town
In the passenger car
Just the quiet conversation
The hours pass
And the shadows move
Golden fields through the glass
Come and vanish in slow motion
Perfectly in between
We stay
The sunlight comes through the window
And puts you to sleep
I hold my breath to be perfectly still
The silence rings in the soft golden hues
Like a dream
As we float between come and go
Like the earth stands still for us
Perfectly in between
Like dust floats in the light
Perfectly in between
In the hour before we arrive
The sunlight comes through the window
And puts you to sleep
I hold my breath to be perfectly still
The silence rings in the soft golden hues
Like a dream
As we float between come and go
Like the earth stands still

Tall Grass
04:23
|
|||
Out in the tall grass
Watching the night
Wild with the dreams
That glint in your eyes
Up to our knees we
Can’t see our feet
And everything’s still but
The rustling leaves
The sounds of the night
Make the air feel alive
As i’m out and still waiting
For you to arrive
I want to catch up
As you run against time
But the grass has grown taller
And i’m falling behind
Let’s not stray too far from each other
In this new place that we’re just now discovering
