The Heart Will Buzz
04:45
|

Well you make me want to sing
And I didn’t want to sing no more
Thought that I had sealed the door
On that broken room
‘Cause what good can that bring?
No I don’t want to live dirt poor
No I can’t do that no more
And I’m not jumpin’ through rings
Look at that sky
It’s opening up like me
Way up above the canopy
You can see for miles
And miles away
I see a little light from here
A glowing in the atmosphere
Something’s going to change
That’s the sound I’m dreaming of
Humming in the clouds above
It will find its way because
it always does
The heart will buzz
Well you make me want to run
To all the places I don’t know
Small corners and the big shadows
That hold me at night
And I thought that I was done
But I’ve got a little fight left yet
A few surprises for the movie set
I’m rewriting this scene
That’s the sound I’m dreaming of
Humming in the clouds above
It will find its way because
It always does
The heart will buzz
Can you find your own home?
And if you saw it, would you know it?
And I don’t mind, if you don’t own it
But if you feel it, go ahead and show it
That’s the sound I’m dreaming of
Humming in the clouds above
It will find its way to us
it always does
The heart…

Time
03:55

I was moving through the dark
I was looking to bum a light
The end of days are near
And it’s gonna be a long, long night
And if the love you have is clear
Then you better keep it in sight
I don’t wanna lose it now that it’s here
I don’t wanna hold on too tight
Time, nothing but time
All we need’s a little time
Time, nothing but time
All we need’s a little more time
I woke up in a daze
How long was I asleep?
Nothing looked the same
There was nothing much left of me
And the kids are calling a name
That I haven’t heard before
I was holding out my plate
Baby can I get a little bit more?
Time, nothing but time
All we need’s a little time
Time, nothing but time
All we need’s a little more time
Oh, and I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know, I don’t wanna know
Oh, I don’t wanna know
But how will I know
When it’s time
To go
I put on my coat
And I left without my hat
The party was roaring inside
And I closed the door on all that
And I know I’m on my way
As I whistle down the street
Just a shadow left of the light
Just an echo left of me
Time, nothing but time
All we need’s a little time
Time, nothing but time
All we need’s a little more time

Oh darlin’ don’t you know
I have walked with you a while
I have seen what makes you worry
I have seen what makes you smile
And when it’s hard to count your blessings
Don’t forget the world counts you
And you’ll be fine and you’ll be home, and you’ll be true.
When the grass is gettin’ high
And the light is gettin’ low
Leave a poem on the table
Leave a flower in a bowl
Keep your eyes on the horizon
And I’ll be looking back at you
And you’ll be fine, and you’ll be home, and you’ll be true.
Oh darlin’ don’t you know
I have walked with you a while
I have seen what makes you worry
I have seen what makes you smile
And when it’s hard to count your blessings
Don’t forget the world counts you
And you’ll be fine and you’ll be home, and you’ll be true.
I can hear the birds
I can hear the breeze
I can hear my heart
Finally
I wanna hear you sing
Every sunny day
And when the clouds roll in
I wanna hear you say
Oh darlin’ don’t you know
I have walked with you a while
I have seen what makes you worry
I have seen what makes you smile
And when it’s hard to count your blessings
Don’t forget the world counts you
And you’ll be fine and you’ll be home, and you’ll be true.

Never Enough
03:56
|
|||
|
Late at night, long black road, lonely voice, radio
Windshield like a picture show, flashing in the headlight glow
Early rising, punch the clock, take my place, among the flock
If I get lost, the neighbours talk
, time is just a thing we hock
Oh, there’s never enough
Oh, there’s never enough
Looking up into the stars
, laying on the roof of your car
All that light just seems so far, there’s no light left where we are
Tossing turning, lay in bed, fighting off the day ahead
Work to do, mouths to be fed
, all this racket in my head
Oh, there’s never enough
Oh, there’s never enough
Standing close, warm wind blow
, out ahead, the city glow
Oh I wanna let that go, I wish that I could let that go
Long way home, windows down, empty streets, the edge of town
All is still there is no sound, following the moon around
Oh, there’s never enough
Oh, there’s never enough, never enough

Kennedy
04:32

Oo I wanna feel like I did before
When we were seventeen in your brother’s car
Driving in the dark down Kennedy
Hiding from the kids we used to be
I remember trying to get to the end
Of the day before it began
I remember dying to go without
Every feeling, every doubt
Looking for the beauty in the bone
Looking for the answers, on the phone
I didn’t see, that I was free
That there was no one looking down, no one watching me
Oo, I wanna feel like I did before
When we were seventeen, in your brother’s car
Driving in the dark down Kennedy
Hiding from the kids we used to be
Lying to my mother, lying to my father
But I wasn’t fooling anyone,
But me
I remember waking from a dream
Feeling the wildness creeping in
I remember following the sound
Moving within me, moving without
Looking for the way to be alone
looking for the way to get back home
I didn’t see, that I was free
That there was no one looking down
No one stopping me
Oo, I wanna feel like I did before
When we were seventeen, in your brother’s car
Driving in the dark down Kennedy
Hiding from the kids we used to be
Lying to your mother, lying to your father
But you weren’t fooling anyone
So many faces I have seen
In the mirror
So many places I will return to forever
And if we’re not together
And if it’s for the better
Then why do I remember?
Give me the ache, give me the dark
Give me the song, that knows me by heart
Give me your hand, give me a sign
Give me a chance, to know I’m alive
Give me the ache, give me the dark
Give me the song, that knows me by heart
Give me your hand, give me a sign
Give me a chance to know that I’m
Really alive
Oo, I wanna feel like I did before
When we were seventeen, in your brother’s car
Driving in the dark down Kennedy
Hiding from the kids we used to be
Lying to our mothers, lying to our fathers
But we weren’t fooling anyone

Release Me
03:09
|
|

|
Oh when the rains fall down
Filling up the thirsty ground
All the diamonds to be found
Are shrinking in the morning sun
The brightest flowers grow in the blackest mud
Flash of colour then a heavy thud
But tell me baby in your blood
Do you still want to see me?
Before we talk this thing to death
I just might need a little breath
There was a time we used to breathe
Together
So please release me
Please release me
Please release me
You don’t have to please me
Anymore
Time moves at a different pace
When you finally bow out of that race
All the things we’ll never taste down at the finish line
I know the world had its way with you
It had its way with me too
There’s not much picking left to do
The bone is clean is shiny
Before we talk this thing to death
I just might need a little breath
There was a time we used to breathe
Together
So please release me
Please release me
Please release me
You don’t have to please me
Anymore

Born Grieving
03:58

How can it be?
My mother asks
When I was your age
I didn’t live in the past
I got on a plane
And I never looked back
I saw my future
In the eyes of your Dad
Why can’t you be like that?
Why can’t you feel like that?
‘Cause I was born grieving
All of my seasons
Came to me, when I was three
I was born grieving
No other feeling
Felt so real to me
But oh, to be free
How can it be?
My lover asks
When we were alone
Felt like home at last
I made you cry
You made me laugh
I saw a future
Now it’s fading to black
Why can’t you be like that?
Why can’t you feel like that?
‘Cause I was born grieving
All of my seasons
Came to me, when I was three
I was born grieving
No other feeling
Felt so real to me
But oh, to be free

Freshen Up
03:53
|
|||
|
Light is bleeding in through all the cracks I thought I’d sealed
Light is bleeding in and all the cobwebs are revealed
It’s time to freshen up the places that we go to hide
It’s time to freshen up, to freshen up the place we live inside
Light is streaming down it’s all around it’s in my skin
sweep up all those yesterdays and drop them in the bin
It’s time to freshen up the places that we go to hide
It’s time to freshen up to freshen up the place we live inside
So do what you want if you want to do something
Do what you want right now
So do what you want if you want to do something
Do what you want right now
You can do it now
Time is streaming in it’s streaming right in through my face
All the things I’m holding onto take up so much space
It’s time to freshen up the places right behind my eyes
It’s time to freshen up, to freshen up the place we live inside
So do what you want if you want to do something
Do what you want right now
So do what you want if you want to do something
Do what you want right now
You can do it now
Big city runaround is putting tired in my bones
Big city runaround is filling both my socks with stones
It’s time to freshen up the places that we go to hide
It’s time to freshen up to freshen up the place we live inside
So do what you want if you want to do something
Do what you want right now
Do what you want if you want to do something
So do what you want if you want to do something
Do what you want right now
You can do it now

I Can't Recall
03:42
|

I can’t recall
The colour of your eyes
I can’t recall, no I can’t recall
Even though I’ve looked at them
A thousand endless nights
No I can’t recall, I can’t recall
Yes there was a time we were fire burning through
Now I can’t remember, a single thing we used to do
Maybe I just dreamed it, the way I reached for you
I can’t recall
The way I used to feel
I can’t recall, no I can’t recall
Way back down a long road, it was something real
I can’t recall, no I can’t recall
Yes there was a time we were open as the sky
Lighting up the darkness, asleep behind my eyes
Did we finally know what’s sacred
Right before goodbye?
I can’t recall
I can’t recall
I can’t recall
I can’t recall, who I used to be
No I can’t recall, I can’t recall
Who I used to dream about, before you looked at me
No I can’t recall, I can’t recall
Yes there was a time when my time was just my own
All the lonely streets I walked, just looking for a home
Did we ever get there, will we ever know

Job Song
02:27
|

|
Well I’ve never been afraid to work
Never want to be a broke down jerk
Never want just take up space
Keep a job, keep a smile on my face
I’ve worked a thousand greasy bars
I’ve washed a thousand greasy cars
Factories when my work boots fit
or picking chicken feet out of a Chinese dish pit
Spun records on chartered cruises
Swabbed decks full of barfed up boozes
I posed nude for the sake of art
Was a skinny little dude with a huge, huge, huge
Heart
I put toys in the bubbles for the vending machines
Now I’m not saying I was living the dream
I sold bonsai trees at the mall in town
But only after the bead shop closed down
Fast food joint, perfect storm
I still have my Arby’s uniform
I swung a hammer and I worked with wood
Took a little while, but I got pretty good
I dropped the puck as a house league ref
I got fired with a few games left
I answered phones as a corporate kid
was a messy little worker with a messier lid
I tried my hand at fine dining
Nightmares so bad, make you laugh at The Shining
I was a baker at a bakery
Then after that I did deliveries
I rolled sushi up for the NBA games
Met all the players, but forgot their names
I hit the pavement with my weary feet
I rode my bike down highways and streets
Thought I was gonna be an architect
But the plans I drew up all got wrecked
I’m redefining what I know as work
I’m realizing it don’t have to hurt
‘Cause singing songs is all I want to do
Singing songs and playing guitar too
I wanna do them both for you
That’s my dream job come true
You can consider this my job interview

The Ocean
03:09
|

|
I love the endings
You love the stories
I love the darkness
You love the mornings
My heart is hollow
You’d say it’s open
I chose my tears
You chose the ocean
Holding my breath in
Out of fear
Running away when
Love got near
Starving myself
To disappear
What would it be like
Just to be here?
My parents voices
Are growing fainter
I had a vision
Of my whole future
No one to turn to
No one to call
What will it feel like
To feel it all?
I love the endings
You love the stories
I love the darkness
You love the mornings
My heart is hollow
Maybe it’s open
What would it be like
To let you in
What would it be like
To let you in
What would it be like
To be the ocean?
