i will say what you need me to say
to make it all go away
where you need me to stay
i will give all i have for you to live
anyway you want to live
if you forgive all i've done to you
you don't get it, it don't work like that
we don't need words, we need a time machine
if you love me then you'll understand
we don't need words, we need a time machine
so say what you think you need to say
get it all out of the way
and spare me the thought of you
wait. just hear me out, I am about to fix this
trust me you will not want to miss this
and in the end all will be better
you don't get it, it don't work like that
we don't need words, we need a time machine
if you love me then you'll understand
we don't need words, we need a time machine
i was hoping I could be with you
'til I found out you could not be true
don't blame it on naïveté
how could you do this to me?
you don't get it, it don't work like that
we don't need words, we need a time machine
if you love me then you'll understand
we don't need words, we need a time machine

beware of me

remember how it felt when you're daddy said goodbye,
he was coming back tomorrow but still, that's what loneliness feels like
remember how it felt when your first dog dies, how could you know that everything that comes must go?
oh my heart's been broke
beware of me, beware of me
remember how it felt when you told your first lie?
how could you know, it wouldn't be the last time?
oh my heart's been broke
beware of me, beware of me
i adore you, so strong for you
i adore you, so strong - makes me want to
blow my mind, wake up back in time
away from who I have changed into
oh my heart's been broke
beware of me, beware of me

i, a door you walk through
look back, I've closed on you
look back, I've walked through
i love you
but I cannot undo the things I've done
i don't want to die like this
i don't want to live like this
so I guess I'll change
i, a door
look back, I've closed on your
memory, miracle all love is
but I cannot undo the things I've done
i don't want to die like this
i don't want to live like this
so i guess I'll change

lullaby

lie awake for old time's sake
and toss your thoughts on my shoulder
there they'll stay without the weight
they bore, before you came over
coat the glass with growing laughter
let the crown be filled with sweet pounding
swollen heart pushes apart
the ghost is on the mountain
mister, you're surrounded
the bridge begins to sway
look, hey! it's a challenge
let's see if you can manage
to live another day
the cold of the water calms me
every little breathing fish sees
and though the bridge was sturdy
i had to let the wind take me
hold me now
the air is getting thin
my mind is wasting away
hold me now
the sea is tumbling
my heart's been sand-swept away
ooooooh
lie awake for old time's sake
and toss your thoughts on my shoulder
there they'll stay without the weight
they bore, before you came over
coat the glass with growing laughter
let the crown be filled with sweet pounding
swollen heart pushes apart
the ghost is on the mountain
mister, you're surrounded
the bridge begins to sway
look, hey! it's a challenge
let's see if you can manage
to break the hardest wave
hold me now
the air is getting thin
my mind is wasting away
hold me now
the sea is tumbling
my heart's been sand-swept away
the cold of the water calms me
every little breathing fish sees
and though the bridge was sturdy
i had to let the wind take me

a slip of the tongue and i'm chewing the thoughts that you wanted
the rest buzz around and you slap them down like unimportant things
the croak in my belly sings
la la la la
la la la la
he spits out the bones when he's gnawed upon all that she gave him
she soaks in the ash and screams with glee 'so here is what i need,
i just want you to sing for me'
la la la la
la la la la

do you recall

do you recall the old world, when all the trees were small?
me neither, but i know
it's the feeling in my bones
in the pages of a book, in the way the mountains look
autumn wind against my skin
the blood that chugs within
i feel the lightning bolt, crack and jolt the skin and soil.
i hear the lion roar, makes my eardrums sore but the beat won't foil.
i know nothing at all.
do you recall the night watch owl?
how the moon coyote howl?
crying out for eternity, sometimes i feel like I'll never leave
and the leaves crawl across the road
searching for somewhere to go
cause they've lost their families and we know that isn't easy
i feel the lightning bolt, crack and jolt the skin and soil.
i hear the lion roar, makes my eardrums sore but the beat won't foil.
i know nothing at all
do you recall the old world?
when all the trees were small?
when all of us humans were
nothing at all

this time it'll be different
we are no longer children
and our hair is thickly rooted
yet we've never been less stable
and our fingertips are pressing lips to silence the forbidden
it is the curve
of the road
the gliding sensation of
driving erratically
ending up in an unintended destination
dangling legs from the walnut tree
a swift glance here and there
one for you and one for me
we'll watch the stars shoot through our legs
and pin us
to our growing hair
they'll pin us there
until we grow
and off and on we'll float the world and become the strongest trunk of trees
we'll spread our souls

for years i've been around the world
ten seconds past another year
for years i've never been alone
it's no surprise that i'm still here
slowly now
i'm quick to die
when we dance
i'm falling faster
play the moon
and scorn the skies
weary face
come calling faster
don't always let your dreams come true
dreams don't always do what you want them to
slowly now
i'm quick to die
when we dance
i'm falling faster
does the way
the sorrow cries
love for what you want and _____
don't live by your memories
don't cling to your dream waves
don't feel that your waiting
is worth any saving
don't love all you wanted
don't harp on disheartened
promises that call you
one day they'll be gone to
don't live by your memories
don't cling to your dream waves
your dreams aren't always what make the best stories
