Make Me Right

VERSE:
"Make me right", is all he said as
he lay his heavy head
on the floor by the makeshift table
that held nothing but his watch.
The wood and nails that came together
have purpose as a whole
but he don't know where he should start
and all this starting's getting old, getting old.
CHORUS:
He can't give you a thing except his story
Words last longer than thought, that is their glory.
So take these and make them yours tonight,
that alone will make me right.
VERSE:
The years between then and now
have had their ups and downs.
Been heading towards the sun,
as he was told.
Never did he touch it though,
what a cruel joke to play.
So he started to start over
which brought him to today, to today.
CHORUS
VERSE:
What's the point in telling stories,
I'm writing this for me.
Though my arms are strong and able,
I lack my reason to be.
Never want to give up one thing
so that another grows.
What's the point in living three lives,
if there is nothing to show?

Forever Don't Last

VERSE:
I was sitting, trying to write a song
about love and how it lasts so long
but lately i've misunderstood
cause things aren't turning out so good
I look up and I look down
broken hears are all I've found
I should look to the albatross
he's the only guy who ain't at a loss.
CHORUS:
We all know that forever don't last these days
and I don't know
All stumbling round in a dead end maze
and I don't know
Lost in a foggy haze
and I don't know
We all know that forever don't last these days.
VERSE:
So, I'm the girl in my own sad story
Sweetie I should preface this with "I'm sorry",
but devoting one's life to another is crazy
It can't last forever
But you got down on your knee
looking up so sweetly
you asked me for my hand but why can't you understand
that I'm not crazy?
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
There will always be a richer man
who will buy me the clothes that I never had
There will always be a smarter guy
who challenges my inquisitive mind.
There will always be a younger girl
with a perfect set of teeth and tight blonde curls
So why make a vow that won't last no way, no how?
VERSE:
It's easy to scorn and act skeptical
Love is just so hectic, I'll
choose whether it ends or lasts
with decisions made when the present's past
So may the lover's love and the hater's hate,
we'll all just happily go our own way,
I'll see you on the other side
I kind of hope that I'm not right when I say
CHORUS

Been Known To

VERSE:
Part ways, I'll go my own.
Oh me, and the open road.
Left as a stone unturned,
I will never be.
CHORUS:
Cherish what you will
I've been known to,
cherish the things that stay still.
I've been know to,
cherish a spot in the shade.
I've been known to...
VERSE:
Look right and left,
from your eyes from your chest.
Take a long stare
You are going that way.
CHORUS
VERSE:
Oh the sun is going down
You, you have made it.
I, on the other hand,
I will stop here.
CHORUS

Falling Back
04:59
|

|
CHORUS:
I'm falling back, I'm falling back
To the place I left, to the place I left.
I'm falling back, I'm falling back.
To the arms I left, I'm falling back.
VERSE:
There is a house I've lived within.
The floors are damp and the walls are thin.
But there is a light that shines, it swings from the tin
Reflects north south east and west and never dims.
CHORUS
VERSE:
There is a door that sways on its hinge
Open or closed, it lets me in.
Here I am home, here I begin.
I'm falling back, I'm falling to him.
CHORUS
VERSE:
There is a road that leads away
I've sat there before and looked both ways
But I couldn't tell which was true and which was fake
So I'm falling back, and here I'll stay.
CHORUS

Perfect
03:50
|

|
VERSE:
It's been a long time coming,
but I'm still asking
the questions that will bring you 'round.
The words are placed
in such a way
now you are here.
I've been wasting plenty of breath
and plenty of words
on other stuff.
I've been holding out
for the perfect
time and space.
CHORUS:
Then I realize, "perfect" is the last thing that I need.
The first is utter loneliness,
The second it is greed,
The third's an empty belly,
The fourth's an aching heard.
But is it all worth one more beautiful song?
Song...
VERSE:
I've been waking
to the same day
for the last few years.
Running from place to place
shaking hands
my smiling face.
Now I'm sitting here
within marble walls
the floors are tiled in gold.
Eating like a king
and drinking like a sailor.
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I'm making plenty of dough,
For what? I do not know,
I'll tell you when I'm old and it is gone.
And something tells me deep,
that I'm awake when I'm asleep.
The same thing tells me there's hope for these hands.
CHORUS
