I worry I weigh three times my body
I worry I throw my fear around
But this moment
There's a calm I can't explain
My candle's melted
Only diamonds now remain

By the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the lie, pretending
That it somehow lingered on
When all I got's...

Chorus:
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will pay no mind
When it won't and it won't

Cuz it can't, it just can't
It's not supposed to

Is there a second in time I looked around?
Did I sail through or drop my anchor down?
Is anything enough to kiss the ground?
Say I am here now, and she is here now

So much wasted in the afternoon
So much secret in the mother tomb
How about you...

Chorus

And I will pay no mind
Worry about no rainy weather
And I will waste no time

. . .



This is a call to the colorblind
This is an IOU
Stranded behind a horizon line
Try to be something true

Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry

Chorus:
Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be
So damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body
Gives me credit for

Why is it not the time?
What is there more to learn?
I've shed this skin I've been tripping in
And I've never quite returned

Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry

Chorus

Cause I'm bigger than my body now

Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines
And it might be over in a second's time
But I'll gladly go down in a flame
If the flame's what it takes to remember my name
To remember my name, oh

Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry

Chorus

Cause I'm bigger than my body
Bigger than my body

. . .



I'm not alone, I wish I was
'cause than I'd know, I'm down because…
I couldn't find, a friend around
to love me like, they do right now
they do right now…..

And all is well, I can't complain
well okay, I guess I could
I got my place, I got my name
I chase my tail, all the same

and I cant think about what's keepin' me down
Something's missing,
and I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing,
and I don't know what it is, no I don't know what it is
I don't know….

And it all comes, it doesn't last
It just walks in, with a bad you lash
And you never know, when it starts
until this fog inside the glass around your summer heart

Can't put my finger on what's keeping me down
Something's missing,
and I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
and I don't know what it is, no I don't know what it is

I can't be sure that this state of mine, is not of my own desire
I wish there was an over the counter test, for loneliness, for loneliness
like this

Something's missing,
and I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing,
and I don't know what it is, no I don't know what it is

Friends check, Money check
good times check, guitar check
all check, all of you, check
everyone, check
havin' fun

I’m so alive
I’m so enlightened
I can barely survive
And not in my mind
So I’ve got a plan
I’m gonna find out just how boring I am
And have a good time

‘Cause ever since I’ve tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It’s been fine, I’ve been cool
With my new golden rule

Now is the new deep
Down with the old me
Talk is the same cheap
It’s me

Is there a God
Why is He waiting
Don’tcha figure it out
When he knows my address
And look at the stars
Don’t it remind you just how feeble we are
Well it used to I guess

‘Cause ever since I’ve tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It’s been fine, I’ve been cool
With my new golden rule

Now is the new deep
Down with the old me
Talk is the same cheap
It’s me

I' m a new man
I wear a new cologne
And you wouldn’t know me
If your eyes were closed
I know what you’ll say
‘This won’t last longer than the rest of the day’
But you’re wrong this time
You’re wrong

Now is the new deep
Down with the old me
I’m over the analyzing tonight
Stop trying to figure it out
You try to figure, you try to figure it out
It will only bring you down
You know I used to be the back porch poet
With my book of lines always open
No and all the time I'm trying
Never gonna find the perfect rhyme

. . .



I know a girl.
She puts the color inside of my world.
She's just like a maze,
Where all of the walls all continually change.

I've done all I can
To stand on the steps with my heart in my hand,
But I'm starting to think
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me.

Fathers be good to your daughters;
Daughters will love like you do, yeah.
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers,
So mothers be good to your daughters, too.

Oh, you see that skin;
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day you two met.
I bet I was on your mind
Never never anytime.

Fathers be good to your daughters;
Daughters will love like you do, yeah.
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers,
So mothers be good to your daughters, too.

Boys you can break,
You find out how much they can take.
Boys will be strong, and boys soldier on,
But boys would be gone without warmth
From a woman's good, good heart

On behalf of every man, looking out for every girl,
You are the god, and the weight of her world.
On behalf of every man whose looking out for every girl,
You are the god, and the weight of her world.

Fathers be good to your daughters,
Daughters will love like you do, yeah.
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers,
So mothers be good to your daughters, too.

Think I'm gonna stay home
Have myself a homelife
Sittin' in the slow-mo
Listenin' to the daylight
I am not a nomad
I am not a rocket man
I was born a house cat
By the slide of my mother's hand
I think I'm gonna stay home

I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I used to be in my "am to see now"
You'll never find it ‘cause my name is in that

Homelife
Been holdin' out for my homelife
My homelife

I wanna see the ending
I wanna learn a last name
Finish on a Friday
And sit in traffic on the highway

See, I refuse to believe
That my life's gonna be
Just some string of incomplete
Never to lead me to anything remotely close to my homelife

Been holdin' out for my homelife
My homelife

And I can tell you this much, I will marry just once
And if it doesn't work out, give her half of my stuff
It's fine with me
We said eternity
I will go to my grave with the love that I gave
Not just a melody line on the radio wave
It dissipates, it soon evaporates
But homelife doesn't change

I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I'd love to walk where we both can talk
But I've got to leave you ‘cuz my ride is here

In my homelife
You take the homelife
You keep the homelife
I'll come back for the homelife, I promise
Homelife, I promise
Life
Homelife

And I don't know where you went when you left me but
It says here in the water, you must be gone by now
I can tell somehow

One hand on the trigger of the telephone
Wonderin when the call comes, when you say it's all right
You got your heart right

Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on your porch ‘til you come back home, alright
I can't find a fight
We share the sadness
Split screen sadness

Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight

All you need is love is a lie cause
We had a love but we still said goodbye
Now we're tired, battered fighters
And it stings when it nobody's fault
Cause there's nothing to blame
At the drop of your name, it's only the air you took
And the breath you left

So maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on the porch til you come back home, alright
I can't find the fight
So I'll check the weather wherever you are
Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
Might be my only right

We share the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
We share the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)

I called... because... I just... need to feel you on the line
Don't hang up this time
And I know well it's me you called it over but
I still wish you fought me ‘til my dying day
Don't let me get away

Cause I can't wait to figure out what's wrong with me
So I can say this is the way that I used to be
There's no substitute for time
Oh for the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
We share the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)

Oh in the sadness, it's alright, it's alright
Oh in the sadness, it's alright, it's alright
Oh in the sadness, it's alright, it's alright

. . .



Still is the light
Of your room
When you're not inside
And all of your things
Tell the sweetest story line
Your tears on these sheets
And your footprints are down the hall
Tell me what I did
I can't find where the moment went wrong at all

You can be mad in the morning
I'll take back what I said
Just don't leave me alone here
It's cold, baby
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come back to bed

What will this fix?
You know you're not a quick forgiver
And I won't sleep through this
I survive on the breath you are finished with

You can be mad in the morning
I'll take back what I said
Just don't leave me alone here
It's cold, baby
Come back to bed, yeah
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come on, come back to bed
Come back to bed

You can be mad in the morning
Or the afternoon instead
But don't leave me now
Please, the seperation from ya baby
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come back to bed

Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love over my head
One more time around, come on baby
Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love over my head
Come on, come back to bed
Why don't ya come on back to bed

Woman, you must be stoned in craze
Somethin tells me you might be losing your mind
Oh baby, come back to bed
Come on in (come on in)

Ladies, the next time your man does something to upset you
Don't do that thing where you pretend nothing's wrong
But you still show somethings wrong
And you say, 'keep asking'
And then us men asking, you say 'nothing'
Cause we'll stop after two times, god dammit
We'll stop
Nothin means nothin in our book, right?
So then you just make it worse
But we think you want to
Maybe you want to
But maybe we can bridge the gap here
We can both sleep in the same bed

Next time your man screws up
Just, just, just look at him
Fold your arms if you have to
Cause that's the worst thing in the world you can do to a man
Fold your arms
And just look him in the eye
And just say this
All you've gotta say is
"Someday baby"
"Someday baby"
Ooooohhh
"Someday baby"
"Some some some someday baby"

"Someday baby"
Ooooohhhhh ooohhhhh...
"Someday baby baby babayyyy"
"Maybe tonight baby"

Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love over my head
Come back to
Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love over my head

. . .



Do not waste this evening
baby im begging you
your big imaginations
playing its tricks on you
if you think now up and leave is something im going to do
feel my chest when i look at you
baby, youve got my only heart
yeah, youve got my only heart
yeah, youve got my only, only heart

so hard to be so far out living our seperate lives
your phone was really broken
i tried your number twice
and if you need confirmation, baby i understand
its alright if you want me to you tell you
youve got my only heart
yeah, youve got my only heart
yeah, youve got my only, only heart

and you love like your hands on the horn, baby
i adore you, but theres a hole in the cup that you hold my love
hold my love
if you let, if you let, if you let me leave
i swear i never will
oh remember now, you
youve got my only heart
yeah, youve got my only heart
yeah, youve got my only heart

. . .



People have the right to fly
And will when it gets compromised
Their hearts say "Move along"
Their minds say "Gotcha heart"
Let's move it along
Let's move it along

And airports, see it all the time
With someone's last goodbye
Blends in with someone's sigh
Cause someone's coming home
In hand a single rose

That's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
And I won't be the last
No I won't be the last, to love her

You can't build a house of leaves
And live like it's an evergreen
It's just a season thing
It's just this thing that seasons do

And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
And you won't be the first
No you won't be the first to love me

You can't love too much, one part of it (repeat)

You can find me, if you ever want to give
I'll be around the bend
I'll be around the bend
I'll be around, I'll be around
And if you never stop when you wave goodbye
You just might find if you give it time
You will wave hello again
You just might wave hello again

And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now

I believe that my life's gonna see
The love I give return to me
I believe that my life's gonna see yeah
The love I give return to me.
I believe that my life's gonna see the love I give
