Serendipity

who's it gonna be?
you never know who you're gonna see
escaping from the city at the port authority
it's serendipity
and maybe you'll land yourself a job
like when lisa just so happened to be visiting her mom
you rush onto the bus
and you run into an early inspiration
& spend the right talkin' out the current situation
you're wondering if it's a coincidence
or maybe if it's not?
your life is like a line if you're connecting all the dots
but it's another little thing that you like about living in this town
the countless other people that you'll always see around
on one level it'll be sad and hard when all you know is gone
maybe something's saying that it's time for moving on

Go Home
02:18
|
|||
|
all i wanna do is go home
i'll take some time alone
i'll close my phone
then i'll clean up all of my clothes
all i ever wanted to know: the places i could go
through the snow
i was pacing to and fro
you'd hold me close
it's cold, i'm skin & bones
the only thing i wanted to do
was go back home to you

My Pick
03:52
|
|||
|
now that i'm awake
i'll try to sit and meditate
i'll double up upon a pillow
to make myself more comfortable
i could start every day like this
if i follow through with it
everyday at half past two
do you hear the neighbors' chickens coo?
choo-choo! there goes the train of thought
not what i was going for
but if i settle in the sound
there's nothing more to think about
i could spend everyday like this
if i follow through with it
balance comes to mind
every time i close my eyes
if it's for peace i pine
i could do this all the time
1, 2, 3, 4
pick me foot up off the floor
up, over, down
put my heel back on the ground
i could start every day like this
if i follow through with it
and i could end every day like this
if i had my pick

Doctor
01:09
|
|||
|
doctor, diagnose me
i've got something kinda gross that i can't see
somewhere inside of me
it keeps me out of bed
i could be sleeping now
instead i'm getting sleepy
why does it feel so good if it's so bad?
where is the equilibrium in that?
it's the one thing i'll always have

Week Away
03:34
|
|||
|
in two months time, the sun will shine
i'll go back to clear, i'm eager to see her
some blue peeks through some trees
we're almost out of the cedar grove
there'll be no more mud once we're on the road
each day is closer to a week away
in the best of moods, i'm patient in times like these
when it ripples, with a steady head it settles
with ease
i'll never forget to recall
what it's like when we're together
i'll see straight till then
each day is closer to a week away
each day is closer to a week away
each day is closer to a week away (each day)
each day is closer to a week away (each day)
each day is closer to a week away

Just Friends
02:27
|
|||
|
i'd been wondering what's been left unsaid
a mystery, not an autobiography
in the heat of the night
i was out of my mind and red in the eyes
sometimes someone will appear in your dream
& you could fool yourself overthinking everything
i tried to tackle it right out of my head
contending or pretending we're just friends
when it persisted, i was wondering: when will it end?
so i inquired at just the right time
when everything was calm, and everything was fine
i put my life on the line
if i'll ever be yours or you'll ever be mine
all i wanted was to hear you say that you never thought of me that way
all i wanted was to wander away from the thought that taunted me all day

Everywhere
02:30
|
|||
|
do you know how much i love, how much i care?
no matter where you go, i'm with you everywhere
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
i'm so glad you're here right now
did ya know that i was on the run for someone like you?
how'd you know that i was here?
somehow this all seems sincerely so
where have you been all my life, my love?
i can't believe we're here right now
singing all the songs we're singing aloud
this love is like the lion's roar
but the lion's roar is something i've not seen before
where have you been all my life, my love?
where have you been all my life, my love?
where have you been all my life, my love?
