Homecoming
03:10

Fist full of paper clips floating out into space
Trace a line around my hand and draw a funny face
Let’s go up on the roof and look at sky scrapers scrape
At the day that’s clouding over the city scape
Don’t need to lock your door
No one’s gonna steal your things
Tomorrow we’ll play dress up if you want to kiss a clown
You can meet my friends if you wanna stay up late
Taking pictures alone at the bar
Does this face make me look sad or just a little bit stern
You can hang it on your wall and watch it while you eat
Burned the toast in the morning
Spilled the juice on the counter
Wiped it up without a sound
Then the kettle started whistling loud
Then the kettle started whistling loud

Definitely I took the photograph
Mom and Dad in their dark sunglasses
Where we were
Memories are so touch and go
It’s hard to know
You
You
You
You
You were the glue held us together
Nervous breakdown midnight tremor
Tuck me in and make it better
Again and again
Nervous kid, didn’t talk very much
In the back of the station wagon
Stop for lunch
It’s gonna be a long time
Til we get where we’re going
Oooo
Oooo
Till we get where we’re going
Till we get where we’re going
You were the glue held us together
Nervous breakdown midnight tremor
Tuck me in and make it better
Again and Again
Again and Again
Again and Again

The curtains open
But no one is around
I take a full bow
Sweat dripping down my brow
I thought I saw you
Lying in Elysian Park
But it was way too dark
To tell anything apart
Just to feel something real again
Makes me feel alright
Make me feel ok
Burry me slowly and just up to my head
I want to feel like I’m dead
But I wanna wake up like I said
Another lap around the lake and there you are
Looking crazy from afar
Hands twisting
Eyes like darts
Just to see you again makes me nervous
A second chance
I take a glance
Just to feel something real again
Makes me feel alright
Makes me feel ok

So Alive
03:19
|

Wanting something else is always fine
It’s been on my mind
Floating, spinning slowly out of control
Everything feels on hold
You can’t get what you want all the time
I’ve never seen you look so alive
So alive
And every time I see your face my heart aches
A vision awakes
But if you wake up in a sweat I’ll be near
Kissing your tears
Hold me, tell me something bout yesterday
Cause today is a fake
Pointing to the sky framing a star
It’s not bright it’s so far
You can’t get what you want all the time
I’ve never seen you look so alive
You can’t get what you want all the time
I’ve never seen you look so alive

Save Me
04:11
|

I’m just waking up when the sun goes down
Save for a few moments I’ve lived in a dream
Won’t you help me wake up
I’ve been in this haze long enough
Save me
Save me
I need someone to
Save me
Save me
I need someone to
Fresh shirt
Put the coffee on
Brush my teeth
Leaving now from the hotel room
For what’s it worth
Won’t you help me tidy up
Meet me at the train at 5 o’clock
I’m just happy to be alive
It’s not everyday you meet somebody by surprise
When I met you
I was a shadow of a man
I’m forever indebted to you
I’m feeling whole again
Save me
Save me
I need someone to
Save me
Save me
I need someone to
Save me
Save me
I need someone to

You Touch the Clouds
02:45
|

The drone above
The heavy breathing of a nearby pug
The itchy grass
The color that it stains my back
I’m finding some shade
Taking a break from a day that’s starting to make me feel insane
What do the birds have to say
A blue blue sky
A cat that stutters and runs by
The sound of cars
The birthday party cheers from far
You’re always late
It doesn’t matter because so am I
I don’t know how
But every time you touch the clouds

Something
03:26
|
|||
I’m kneeling at the door, calling you
The rain’s been knocking at the window too
Is something burning
Is that birthday cake
I put the frosting on before I baked it
Turning off all the lights
Getting older’s not a fight to fight
Was I a good baby
Did I cry?
Wiping off the sleep stuck to my eye
We all want everything
Once we’ve got something
A picture wiped from my memory
To get it back I’ve got to plant the seed
And when it grows I’ll pluck it from the earth
The smell will activate my birth
One arm outside the car
Driving fast, but we’re not going far
Let’s go home before the sun expires
I can’t talk anymore I’m so tired
We all want everything
Once we’ve got something

Pin wheel it’s spinning
But no storm has touched down so far
It’s thinning
The sun is peaking out
It feels so warm
I’m not that kid anymore
It takes a while to grow out of it
Healing
I’m feeling better now
I’ve grown
Healing
I’m feeling better now
I’ve grown
I’m not that kid anymore
It takes a while to grow
I’m not that kid anymore
It takes a while to grow out of it

Leo
04:48

Leo moved out of town when we were young
Swinging a bag of blue marbles
Didn’t make sense, but we had invisible friends
Touching the ground with a piece of chalk in my hand
Tommy worked for the CTA
Driving that white bus every single day
Running around with our heads cut off
And screaming until our voices were lost
And I haven’t seen him since we were kids
But I wonder what he’s been doing
Now that we’re older
But we were bold then
Saw him once in the hall when we were 15
Barely looked up, but he looked so clean
I was shell of a man back then
Nobody told me it was okay to be open
Leo how have you been since then
It’s been a while since I thought of him
Running around with our heads cut off
And screaming until our voices were lost
I wish I could’ve said something
But I wasn’t feeling confident
Back when we were kids
Didn’t second guess
Just to feel something
Was to be enough
What you feel is real
What you feel is real
What you feel is real
What you feel is real
What you feel is real
What you feel is real
What you feel is real
What you feel is real
