I Am One
03:08
|

It’s always been me on my own
But I’m good at forgetting what is better left unknown
You can look all you want into somebody’s eyes
But they’ll never be like windows and a window won’t suffice
If you love someone once you’ll only want more
There’s nothing new to see here that you didn’t see before
And if you hold on too tight you’ll never be free
Now there’s a little secret that you didn't hear from me
It’s a fool who breaks their own heart
Even in a million pieces
I am one

St. Anthony

Saint Anthony, patron saint of lost things
Finds me kites in trees
On 7th Street I can hear the bells rings
Ending suffering
Have you seen me?
I lost myself
I’m in between
Here and used to be
Not good enough, reality
The one I love, I cant understand it
Love’s not in the wanting
A perfect end, we could not have planned it
All that’s left is remembering
Have you seen me?
I lost myself
I’m in between
Here and used to be
Trying, trying
There must be peace somewhere
Can we keep it?
Is it ours to claim?
And if its all the same to you, sir
Haven’t seen it since
I lost myself over the fence
Bring it back to me
I’m over here
I’m calling
I lost myself
I’m in between
Here and used to be
Not good enough, reality

A Long Time
03:37
|
|||
Long ago I found out
I am the one I cannot know
But every time I fell in love
Please look at me, tell me you know
Something that I dont
And the songs will start to be sung
I waited for you for a long time
And watched my life pass in the meantime
There it goes now let it all go by
Take my hand and take it fast
You haven’t said what I think I heard
Now every moment seems the last
Who wins each time love is deferred?
And the bells will start to be rung
I waited for you for a long time
We waited for change to a blue sky
There it goes by now let it go by
I know it’s hard to understand
But try to understand
I waited for you for a long time
I waited for you for a long time
I waited for you for a long time

Moment to Strike
05:12
|
|||
Saw you on the internet
You looked good
I can honestly say I’m happy for you
That’s only a little untrue
All the best to yours and you
I was waiting for the moment to strike
Always waiting for the right moment to strike
And the moment never came
I see love to the left and right of me
I see love in spite of me
I’ve settled like a rock
At the bottom of the river
Why can’t I skip clear across?
I was waiting for the moment to strike
Always waiting for the right moment to strike
And the moment never came
You know I’d never lie, babe
Stick a needle in my eye, babe
But if you ever see my face
Then lie to me
I was waiting for the moment to strike
Always waiting for the right moment to strike

White Herons
06:24
|
|||
I see white herons
Fly in front of my car
I just keep driving
Trying to get where you are
Tell me what do I do now?
I think I know what you’d say
“You’ll have to make it through somehow”
But I brush that away
Who’s gonna tell me I fucked up?
I was relying on you
Who’s gonna show me how to love?
You relied on me too
The only thing that I regret
Though I think that you knew
You said it every chance you’d get
But I just wasn’t through
See you walking me down the aisle
See you holding me as a child
See you sending me to my room
See my baby, he looks like you
Taking your glasses of when you laugh
The day you were born and your epitaph
See you playing piano on my leg
See you bumming a cig for old time’s sake
See you dancing alone in the living room
See you angry with me when I’m just like you
See you singing Sinatra to your wife
See you open your eyes in the afterlife
The water is wide without wings to fly
See you holding my hand when it’s my time
When it’s my time
