Traveling On
03:01

I fell asleep / What did I miss?
What time is it? / And who is this?
And if you tell me that you don't mind
Well I call your bluff, you're not that kind
And I'm still tired, so I'm travelin' on
The signs are clear / My mind is made
Into the trees / I softly fade
Which way is up? / The label's worn
I throw it down / The lining's torn

The moon was bright that summer's night I met you
Sitting by the fountain in the park
It was there you held my hand as we listened to the band
How could such flames start from such a tiny spark?
I wanna go back to where it started
The place where I fell in love with you
For now I'm blue and so downhearted
Wonderin' why those happy days we knew are through
Now the summer's gone, the park's green lawn is fading
So has our romance lost its rosy hue
The autumn leaves came down upon the hardened ground
And covered up the love we thought we knew
I guess it's done, I jumped the gun, it's over
Perhaps I'll win her back again someday
But after all the snow, you know just where I'll go
Back to the park to hear that jazz band play

Skyscrapers
03:09
|
|

Don't you feel better when you're standing by yourself
Taking in the rooftop views away from everyone else
It's 'cuz you're good for nothin', you're just in the way
You don't mean not-for-nuthin' besides the lies you say
Look up the names of the skyscrapers ahead
And wonder why you're not alone at home in bed
Going out is boring, but at least you're being seen
A reason to behave and wear a shirt that's new and clean
But fear makes you hesitate and remember the pain
Of all the times you tried and failed to be less than totally lame
So learn the names of the skyscrapers you see
And wonder how much longer you should stay before you leave
Wandering and looking up at 33 South Six
Wondering what makes it so hard to simply exist
It's just the price of hoping you'll be ok
And you'll have some impressive thing to reach for every day
So learn the names of the skyscrapers above
And think of all the simple things you love
'Cuz you can't see the world turn in the dark
And you can't understand your misguided heart.
Ba dum da - dadada dum dum daaaaaaaaa

Let Me Weep
03:13

There are so many things a man wants in life
Money, fame, if he's luck a wife
But there's one thing ask as I lay down to sleep
I pray for the good lord to please let me weep
Let me weep for all the things good and bad
Let me weep for the times that I could have had
So now as I lay down my head to sleep
I pray for the good lord to please let me weep
Oh there once was a time when I would declare
That the sun always shone and that life is fair
But the days I see comin' well, I should let you know
For each day that shines bright, there's a night that glows low.
That's why I sit here with this one simple request
While others they ask for some peace and some rest
So now as I lay down my head to sleep
I pray for the good lord to please let me weep
Oh there's only one thing a man can do
When there's so many things that he has to go through
You sit down and look at the stars above
And hope that the good lord will prove of his love
He'll let you weep for the things that you want to see
Let you weep for the man that you want to be
Let you weep for the things that have come and gone
Let you weep for the hope that you can move on
Now as I lay down my head to sleep
I pray for the good lord to please let me weep

Ten More Miles
04:05

The sun is up - where am I no one knows
How can I keep walking on this path I chose?
Just give me ten more miles, I'll find my way
With 20 miles behind me, that's all I've got to say
Just give me ten more miles, I'll find what's mine
I've got to know what's waiting there behind that dead end sign
Just pay no mind
A few more strides - eyes open all alone
I can't find north, but why does every step seem wrong?
The sun's gone down - almost too dark to see
What I will find, but when I'm home I will be free

Long Time Coming
03:58
|
|
||
|
I ain't exactly made the right choices in my life
and found a way to lose my way again.
Playin' tricks on my mind just to fall asleep at night
and childish games to feel alive inside.
'Cuz it's a long time coming / to feel that same old somethin'
and it's a long time / to feel alright again
I'm not afraid of growing up - that's not what gets me down
it's thinking I forgot how to be ok.
And it's a long time coming / to feel that same old somethin'
and it's a long time / to feel alright again
Maybe it's not in my control, I guess I'll just have to wait...
but it's a long time coming / to feel that same old somethin'
and it's a long time / to feel alright again.
