Happy

Why’s it gotta be that way
Always in my face
With nothing to say
Hiding behind a name
Oh to be happy
Are we gonna be this way forever
Always in my face
I never have nothing to say
Hiding behind a name
Oh to be happy
Are you still running
Why are you running away
You got a problem
Open your mouth and say it
Because time keeps slipping away
Are you still running
Do you have to run away
Oh to be happy

Rain

The rain is falling down
I have always wanted
To give you that pure sound
You left me quietly on the bed
Lost in translation
Incomplete sentences
Oh and I won’t move now
For anyone
I’ve learned to move around
For everyone
In the wrong ways
The rain has possessed me now
I’m crying over sentimental value I found
I’ve held in this world
That’s made my mind to make me
Wear myself out
Like a dog begging you to take me out
And lay me down
Oh and I won’t move now
For anyone
I’ve learned to move around
For everyone
In the wrong ways
The rain is falling down
I envy the leaves for reaching out
In spite of winter’s memory
And played by the weather
Like piano keys I long to be
Composed that way
The rain is falling down
Oh and I won’t move now
For anyone
I’ve learned to move around
For everyone
In the wrong ways

Death Bed

I wish you didn’t give me so much privacy
You don’t have to knock on my door
For you
I am always home
I want to be
Behind your eyes
Beneath the noise
At the party
Your silence is so loud
I can barely
Keep it together now
So I dream of you from afar
So far
With a picture of you in my heart
In my heart
Like a movie
You and I
We play all the parts
Nothing’s real in my mind
There we never have to fall apart
I keep it together now
And the year’s roll on by
I keep loving you
But I’m never by your side
And pretty soon
I’m gonna be on my
Death bed
Wondering what I could have said
What could I say
I was just afraid
Don’t walk away
You were always on my mind

Takeaway

I wanna be the silent observer
Watch the clouds roll by in the sky
Internalize the transient
Everyone says no
You’re an actor
Play your part
In the play of your life
Baby this is it
When all is said and done
Words fail
Action’s never called
There’s nothing moving you
The audience dissolves
You’re alone with your own thoughts
Who will be there to remember you
Do you need me to
I’ve traveled quite a lot
Seen a fair share of the plot
Learned my lessons and some I still have to
If there’s one thing I could take away
I would take you
I wanna be the silent observer
Watch the waves crash down
Throw my body
Project out
Come back up again
As the crest and forget
Where I begin and end
I’ll become the whole damn ocean
And I’ll take you

Circles
04:21

|

When you’re running around in circles
And everything is the same
When you’re running around in circles
Nothing’s changed
Go to the same old spots
Hear the same old names
Conversations
The same old games
Are you running off
Something’s been eating you away
Are you running off
the same mistakes
When you get home
Will you tell me you’re safe
When I get home
Will you wear the same face
Something’s changed
Rearranged
It’s OK you don’t have to hold my place
When you’re running around in circles
It’s OK you don’t have to hold my place
