01. All These Things
We've spent quite some time
Coming up with all sorts of lines
But oh, how the days roll away.
You said, "Let's wait for this."
And I said, "Let's wait for this."
And now we've arrived at this day.
All these things we have between us
It's amazing how we have so much.
And we all sing, "La, la, la, la, la, la..."
I remember the first time
I looked into your eyes
Oh, how I knew it then.
I remember this time last year
We had all kinds of fears
But, oh, how it disappeared.
Now we realize that the time has come to grow as one
This moment represents everything we have in us.
02. Trying to Move On
I’ve been trying so hard to be happy for you
Well I’ve been trying so hard to move on
Each day I sit here so confused by what I put you through
Well I really need you now, I need someone
I know that having thoughts like this is no good,
I’m trying to focus
Well I aimed but it seems I’ve missed once again
03. Statue
My ripe eyes swell in their sockets.
They have escaped before---only to orbit my head,
tethered by bloody cords.
In the end I fear infection and reel them back in.
Sometimes I pull out my wet brain.
I crawl up a mountain and rest it on the peak
then quietly go back down the mountain.
I don’t tell anybody where my brain is.
I just smile inside of my mouth.
When my head has that extra space
I can pull my eyes inside and if they bring a light,
they can look around a bit.
I always miss them when they are gone.
Not like my mind, it’s peaceful up there.
When my eyes return they look down
and when I ask them about what they saw.
I can’t tell if they are happy or sad.
One day when I went to get my brain it was frozen solid.
I didn’t know what to do.
So, I just put it back inside of my head.
I crept back down the mountain with my cold brain.
I didn’t mind much, in fact I didn’t mind at all.
Eventually my veins, full of warm blood thawed.
05. The Drawers of Nature
The drawers of nature have all been filled
Do you know what this means?
The sea has tossed out you and I
Life is meant to be seen
What makes all this work?
Is it what we’ve learned?
Or is it the promise that we’ll get back what we deserve?
All these hands have four seasons
It’s time we plant these seeds for us
Open up these doors and pull me through
The drawers of nature have all been filled
The rocks have formed, now all this is real
It’s only the shadow of time
The drawers of nature have all been filled
The rocks have formed along the shore
So all this must be real
06. Puppets & Ninjas
The more people there are, the less I seem to know
All the people that never left need to go
We’re scattered across time zones and area codes
We’re shuffled up and driving down different roads
Puppets & ninjas, film and song
I’m still not sure what went wrong
Remember what our stereo used to play?
Close to Me and Another Day
I still listen to that like it was yesterday
Remember the promises we made when we were kids?
Times change, have you come to terms with that like I did?
You’re a good person, the same no matter what
I still remember your room long after that door shut
07. Constellations
Constellations have a way of playing a trick
On the stars I seem to pick
And as the world turns my eyes grow sick
I should probably rest them now
Why is it that the night can appear more bright then the day?
The hours change in the smallest ways
Which throws off my whole day
And I often wonder how the stars in the sky
Can be so far away and seen with the human eye
Why is it that the night can appear more bright then the day?
Some things I can’t explain
08. The Prince of Snow
Tonight is a dream because you are here
I dream of nights like this my dear
Hold my hand and have no fear
Love like this will never disappear
I’ll be this, The Prince of Snow
If you see me than you’ll know
Birds chirp, “say what you will”
The sails have all been torn
Now the sun can perform
Love has begun to warm
I’ll be this, The Prince of Snow
If you see me than you’ll know
Oh dear, no dear. Love hasn’t spun away
The wind has stopped, but love…
Love has not
09. A Well Traveled Ghost
I once wrote a letter, I once bought a stamp
I addressed it to myself, it made perfect sense.
But it never arrived, it never gave truth to circumstance.
I photographed you on the North-Western coast
For all of our travels I loved this the most.
"I'll love you forever." The last words of his toast.
This is the story of a well traveled ghost.
When asked I always consider myself shy
Although everyone else says that's a lie.
But I've always seen myself as that kind of guy.
He splashed in the water, he stomped on the floor
They wanted him to quit, but I wanted more.
When we stay out all night the next day we're always sore.
You hand-cut me flowers, one was a rose
It's as real as a garden in the summer I suppose.
And the scent of the shoreline fills up my nose.
I skipped to the last page of the book that he wrote.
It was based on the last words of a fictitious note
I ripped out the page and placed it in my coat.
10. Brace for the Noticed
The future is what the future was
My favorite answer is because, because
Because the future is, the future was
There is a liar inside all of us
Everything has a way of working out
Can anyone explain?
Brace for the noticed
Flushing around
Wasting all over you
The future is because the future was
The past came because, because
They’re two stories for every ten of us
In just a moment I’ll lose your trust
Everything has a way of working out
Can anyone explain?
Brace for the noticed
Flushing around
Wasting away
Brace for the noticed
Flushing around
Wasting all over you
11. I Remember
Handouts and challenged doubt
Spread through the land of liars
Shows with wine create conversations
That nobody’s listening to
I remember thinking everything would change
I remember wondering where I was headed
It’s strange that the names can lie to your face
When cornered they disappear without a trace
I’m so exhausted, well I’m so burnt out
How many more hoops do you have stored away?
You’re not fooling anyone, at least not me
I’ve given you all I am willing
We've spent quite some time
Coming up with all sorts of lines
But oh, how the days roll away.
You said, "Let's wait for this."
And I said, "Let's wait for this."
And now we've arrived at this day.
