Little Things

Sittin' on the couch with you and a beer
As silly as it sounds, I'm happy to be here
There's nothing to do, so we're stuck here tonight
Maybe make the most of it, baby, it'll be alright
I'll be your caterpillar
I'll be your butterfly
I'll be whatever you want me to be
Stuck in the middle of a fight from noon until night
Not quite sure, think i've heard it all before, it's alright
But if we stop it now and start this over
We might just find each other in the little things
I'll be your caterpillar
I'll be your butterfly
I'll be whatever you want me to be
Turn off the television, no talk-shows on tonight
I'll be whatever you want me to be

Hey, Na Na Na

Hey, Hey, you're never gonna wake
To a morning like the one you woke to yesterday
Will the rabbit come find you now
And now that I know the world
Will the rabbit come find me out
Your reason, don't let it slip away
Your reason, don't let it slip away
It's gonna be OK
Take a ride together
Drivin' around in the belly of a whale, got a party to go to
Having the time of our lives, it's a night, like a lion in waiting
Chinatown, Chinatown is where we'll meet
An innocent girl with pale blue eyes, red lipstick on her teeth
Hey, Na Na Na come dance with me, said Hey, Na Na Na
Hey, Na Na Na come dance with me, said Hey, Na Na Na
Come, it's alright to look back on your own life
It's a little too late to say you're fine, you're living in denial
Slipping down a hole in the ground, it's a little beneath you
I have to ask, did you step through the looking glass?
In the dark, and in the light, do they all come for you?
Why don't I drive you tonight? Alice, I implore you
Come, it's alright to look back on your own life

Paper People

There was a time when we'd welcome any smile
Open hearts, like starry nights
It's essential we depart, make a new start
From California, we'll drive until the sun sets over the mountains of misdirection
We might just leave them in the dust
Find a new way to waste away the day
It's o.k. to let go when you know when to go
Come on, let's sing
We'll be here tomorrow, it's so ordinary
I know, inside, I'm old and tired
Somehow I'll let it go, see now I told you so
I know, inside, I more than tried
Somehow I'll let it go, see now I told you so
Take the last exit at the end of the world
Throw our notes into the fire
Find the words and write em in the dirt
Maybe someday they'll inspire
A thousand recipes to set a person free
We got so many, got so many
I'll leave behind the days uninspired
Try to write another line, take a drink and pass the time tonight
It's o.k. to let go when you know when to go
Close the door and walk away then
Who's leaving now, who's leaving now
Come on, let's sing
We'll be here tomorrow, it's so ordinary

Don't leave me now, I've got love locked away
Automatic doors won't come down, you're in the way
Oh, hey, it's the time between day and night
There's a satellite moving faster
Don't let the thief throw the knife away
I swam away, down a waterfall
Last time we met, said I'd be right back
I'll make you smile someday
Don't wanna say "Goodbye" tonight
Blow me a kiss a mile away
Stuck in the ocean, can't see the next sunrise
Don't leave me alone

Belles

I can see tears of every color
But why are they always shades of grey
And why do the bad things just seem to happen
Even though some of them seem pretty good to me
The writing on the wall can't read itself at all
Open up your heart and throw the lock away
What does it take to love you, baby
And how can I win this argument
Open your door
What will it take to make you love me the way you did before
Stop this thing, it's not like you died
I'll get you, get you away
Call my lawyer for a miracle
What does it take to love you, baby
Holding up my own hands
And never again open, open your mouth
Feels like you're holding all the answers
Handing out rights and wrongs
And never again open, open your door
I can never win holding onto my own breath
Don't just stand around
Just open your door

Optimistic Automatic
02:05
|

|
Woke up on the moon today
No air to breath, no sky to see
But, went out looking anyway
All optimistic, automatic
A couple swimming out to sea
They turned to me, said, "Can't you see,
We're all lovers, living happily"
Got a lot to do, a long way to go tonight
Woke up on the move today
Gonna run away to a place to find you
Singing at the bottom of the sea
Just called to say you shouldn't worry
Just called to say what's on my mind
Just called to say you'd better hurry
Just called to say I'm right behind

Online (And In Love)

Dancin' in your room tonight
Turn the radio back on
The sign says you're never open
It's like you don't exist
Who cares what it's like
What a day, what a day
Who cares, the sun won't shine
I'd rather it rained
I've been here before
I've wanted to be loved by someone, somewhere, who never knew my name
There's no more secrets
There's no relying on trinkets and comets and other broken things
Who can be seen here with me
A constant reminder
Who in the world could this be
They called to meet you
Who cares what it's like
What a day, what a day
Who cares, the sun won't shine
I'd rather it rained
Don't ever go, it's the same outside
Turn the radio and keep your eyes on mine

Place To Be
04:01
|

|
When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older see it face to face
And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place.
And I was green, greener than a hill
Where flowers grew and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be.
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day is done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you.

Here we come, if you're ready or not
Too terrified to drive
Didn't wanna do it, only had one shot
You say a bad word, i'll sing it backward
Thirty thousand miles above
Who brought them over
Animals
Can you feel it coolin' down
Want to see you sleepin' safe and sound
I'm not used to long flights coming down so far away
We followed anyway
Who brought them over
Animals
Did you think this over all at once
Can you feel it
Patience, officer
