Better Weather

Are your feet still up off the ground cause
Just now I felt the feeling of a splashdown
Can’t remember why I wanted to stick around
Are you still in the air
Elated sedated not a single care
Cause I know the feeling of not feeling anything
Anywhere
The sun is shining but we’re still waiting for better weather
I’m waiting for a reason to pretend I never met her and
The world is spinning and I’m just trying to keep on standing
Not ready to fall not ready to risk a clumsy landing
Ohhh x3
As certain as the motion on the factory line
As certain as the summer always follows the springtime
We keep on waiting on some stars that never align
We both know that we are young but
We don’t know the warmth of really knowing someone
That feeling warmer than the sun
Oh warmer than the sun
The sun is shining but we’re still waiting for better weather
I’m waiting for a reason to pretend I never met her and
The world is spinning and I’m just trying to keep on standing
Not ready to fall not ready to risk a clumsy landing
Ohhh x3

Enough to Take Me Home
03:24

One two one two three four
I don’t want to be a rockstar
I’m standing still when I’m singing and playing guitar
And I don’t want a thrilling memoir
I’m not courageous and my parents aren’t famous so I’m not making it very far
I’m lost in the space
Too old to complain
Too young to explain what’s wrong
And I’m tired, I’ve only got a little more
Enough to take me home
Enough to take me home
I can’t fight the feeling,
There’s something wrong with being young
Every night I wait to see you come undone
Ten dollars an hour
To know the reason why
Sweetness turns so sour
And I don’t any longer
Get a final say
As grand scheme astronomy pulls me away
I’m lost in the space
Of who I’ve been
And who I intend today
It’s getting heavy, I only got a little more
Enough to take me home
Enough to take me home
I can’t fight the feeling,
There’s something wrong with being young
Every night I wait to see you come undone

Changes in the shape of the Earth
My lessons learned in times of trouble
Keep me out of the parts of town I never want to return
Changes in the shape of the sky
Your gold sunrise turns to blue in a matter of time
Before you know it’s the afternoon
And I miss the shape of the earth
Looking from the moon
And when I crash land into dirt
I’ll be thinking of you
Nostalgia is a last resort
Don’t look back until the credits roll
And the heavens crack
And your field distorts
And you fade to black
Changes in the shape of my heart
It’s drying out in the summer sun
The song I’m writing left undone
Changes in the shape of the start
And I miss the shape of the earth
Looking from the moon
And when I crash land into dirt
I’ll be thinking of you
There goes that summer feeling
The rain is pearling down
I’ve been learning just how to make
Bigger and bigger mistakes
That I wish I could turn around
And I miss the shape of the earth
Looking from the moon
And when I crash land into dirt
I’ll be thinking of you

Cartoon Frog

I, I’m staring at the floor
Everywhere I go since you’ve been gone
I see when I close my eyes
A vision of a man
Holding the mistakes of his life
Lord knows I’ve done wrong
Lord knows I’ve done wrong
Sometimes
A love that was strong
We were two cartoon frogs
I want to make it all right
I knew this would grab your eyes
To name a song what all along has been
An image in our minds
I hope to steal your ears
In these minutes of your time
To tell your broken heart
What it means to mine
Lord knows I’ve done wrong
Lord knows I’ve done wrong
This time
A love that was strong
We were two cartoon frogs
I want to make it all right
Second chances all around
Second chances in this swampy town

Carry On Forever

Carry on forever
Deep under the earth for
Worse or better
Carry on together
In the sunshine and the
Stormy weather
Carried like a feather
When the sun explodes we’ll
Float interstellar
Carry on together
Rich or poor oligarchs or
Aimless beggars
Carry on

The wonders of we’re knowing where we’re going, we’re feeling fine
The crazy notion of devoting life towards killing useless time
Well there’s no such thing as wasted time tonight
The wonders of we’re loving
Pointless things that make our hearts turn ‘round
the sun is waiting for its chance to tell you
but it don’t make a sound
When there’s no such thing as waiting to be found
No such thing as waiting to be found
The Hare Krishnas dance and shake each day we go to school
My lack of charisma so complacent when I followed every rule
So concerned with seeming unconcerned
It’s cruel to think that everyone is floating like an NPC
But it’s hard to fathom every atom every molecule in me
When I lie awake and it’s time to go to sleep
From horses to station wagons
A hundred years till
Super highways take me where I want to be alone
From horses to station wagons
A hundred years till
Cars and trains they’re not the same
We’re all going different places on our own
Going different places on our own
In the third and final verse
The bellyaching singer opened up and when he let a tear
He played a chord for all of us to lose our minds
And add it to our playlists isn’t that enough
From horses to station wagons
A hundred years till
Super highways take me where I want to be alone
From horses to station wagons
A hundred years till
Cars and trains they’re not the same
We’re all going different places on our own
Going different places on our own
(So let’s move to the city
Move to the city and leave this highway life)
Going different places on our own
(So let’s move to the city
And leave the suburbs, leave it all behind)
Going different places on our own

Astral Apartment

From the bottom of my heart
In the belly of the whale
While on our way each day to beyond the pale
I never know just where to start I guess I’ll say goodbye
To the numbers in my phone that have been leading to my demise
There’s no blue skies in outer space
There’s no spacemen wading ocean waves
But in the floating glove compartment
Let’s let our car fall in the sun
And move into an astral apartment
If you told her yesterday it’s been too long
And it’s not enough to sing some pretty words in a pretty little song
If what used to lift you high just brings you down
Listen for the quiet sound
What goes around is coming back around
We know we’re not
Not the only ones
That wish we were born in another constellation
We know we’re not staying in one place
Till gravity puts wrinkles on our face
If what used to lift you high just brings you down
Listen for the quiet sound
What goes around is coming back around
We know we’re not
Not the only ones
That wish we were born in another constellation
We know we’re not staying in one place
Till gravity puts wrinkles on our face

Every day there’s a new day coming
Every day there’s a new day coming
Every day there’s a new day coming around
Round and round
Every day there’s a new day coming
Every day there’s a new day coming
Every day there’s a new day coming around
Black hole city in the center of my bedroom
And it keeps on cleaning my idling mind
The phone in my hand and the plans in demand
Well they keep on feeding the landfill of my time
Cause there’s too much time in the summertime
Cherry earthquake from the spaceship rocket
Sending waves of love through my idling mind
The corners of my heart in a blood red pocket
Thinking of you doesn’t cost me a single dime
It doesn’t cost me a single dime
(Autumn winter and springtime
They keep my feelings in line)
(Autumn winter and springtime
They keep my feelings in line)
(Autumn winter and springtime
They keep my feelings in line)
(Autumn winter and springtime
They keep my feelings in line)
Deep sea blue when you’re waiting for August
When you’re in your head only most of the time
The leaking truth from the boiling faucet
It’ll burn your pretty hand when your dreams are sterilized
When your dreams are sterilized

Into the Headrush Dream
02:51

Sometimes I stand up too fast
My body yelling to slow it down
Or else we’ll soon collapse
Right now I feel like falling down
My head’s a wheel when I think of you
Just spinning round and round
And if this new love is just a dream
Do you want to sail the blue moonbeams
And if it’s real those big blue eyes
I hope they find their way to mine
It’s time, make peace with the past
Cause if you try, it might make peace back
I just wanted to feel less unsure
But fate does a funny thing of giving more than you bargain for
And so if this new love is just a dream
Do you want to stay asleep with me
And if it’s just an alibi
Will you keep me a fool till the day I die
I know I have never quite
Said it in a song the way it feels for me tonight
Said it in a song the way it feels for me tonight
(So tell me it’ll be alright)
(So tell me it’ll be alright)

My patience all over the kitchen floor this morning
I was hungry and I wanted to scream but I couldn’t shake the feeling
That today is not my day,
But I said the same thing yesterday and the day before yesterday
So I tried to take it up with the stars but the sun is so concealing
The constellations that guide our lives are hidden by the morning sun
Whenever I awake
Sometimes I get the feeling that the sun it says the day is not mine
I’d like to say that I’ve seen the Milky Way but no
There’s too much light pollution in this town
Where I’m bound
I’d like to say that I’ve seen the Milky Way but no
The la la light pollution follows me around
Where I’m bound
This week I’m burning out just trying to make a living
The singer blames the fool that blames the worker
Are you getting it now?
And when I throw another in the air
And try to keep them all in line,
I end up with a day that’s not mine
I’d like to say that I’ve seen the Milky Way but no
There’s too much light pollution in this town
Where I’m bound
I’d like to say that I’ve seen the Milky Way but no
The la la light pollution follows me around
Where I’m bound
Woke up this morning just paralyzed
Instead of two places at once,
I wish that I could rest my eyes
And when I see the others in the sky
I forget that everything’s all right
I end up with a day of lost time
I’d like to say that I’ve seen the Milky Way but no
The la la light pollution follows me around
Where I’m bound
Where I’m bound
