Long Drive

It's been a while, sorry I never call.
It's always a long drive when you've got no where to go.
I'm missing something, don't know what it is.
So I keep searching for it.
Miss you more if I could,
it's the memories I miss the most.
And those just seem to get old.
Visit more if I could but you're always so far from the world that I travel.
Keep going 'cause if I don't where will I go?
And going back is never the same,
even though it seems like nothing will ever change.
Days slip by, nothing's changed, still we all feel the same.
Lost at the state of our world with nothing but wide eyes and stories.
You say "come back" but time can only move forward.
And going back is never the same, even though it seems like nothing will ever change.

Right Through Me

You said you wanted a sail boat,
You tried to learn how to sail.
You gave it all up for nothing else.
I guess nothing is better than something
when you can't believe in yourself.
And the cloud over your head is blocking
the light in your eyes.
And this time I can't lie and say it'll be all right.
Innocence dug through our bodies
and left a hole where it used to be
making it hard to believe
when you can see right through me.
Your dreams are like hot air balloons,
hold your feet inches off the ground
but you didn't believe in them so they burnt themselves.
A pile of ashes waiting for you to see...
but you didn't believe in them and you buried yourself.
This time I can't lie and say it'll be all right.
This cloud of an idea,
air bubbles flicked out
a drip from the tip before it pierces your skin.
A gate way to walk away from everything.
And you think you don't think your feelings have all changed,
but it's you who's changing
and I who can't bare the weight.
This time I can't lie
and say it'll be alright.
I don't wanna visit you in the hospital.
I don't want to go to your funeral.
I don't want to lose faith in you.
It's you or my sanity, you are my sanity.
Just say it'll be alright.

My friend, please don't lie to me
don't give me a number,
let's play our old games.
And I can't quite place my finger on it,
things have changed.
Oh, and I digress to the things we once knew
when our time was pure.
and I digress to our games, our innocence
we always knew we were invincible.
My friend, please come sit with me
in these dinner booths built for two.
With enough room for all our memories
how could I forget how beautiful you are to me
the things you've done for me.
But I can't quite place my finger on it,
things have changed
Oh, and I digress to the things we once knew
when our time was pure.
and I digress to our games, our innocence
we always knew we were invincible.
Here I stand, sticking out like a sore thumb in a large crowd
and there you are just fading in
And I can't help but get to wondering what this all about
I can't quite place my finger on it
things have changed.
Oh, and I digress to the things we once knew
when our time was pure.
and I digress to our games, our innocence
we always knew we were invincible.

What is this?
another game?
I don't wanna play.
might I remind you there's no win
in a game that never ends?
Fool me once, shame on you
fool me twice and I'm the fool.
It's hard to build a house of cards
on a false start
It's hard to keep your head on straight
when you don't know which way to gaze
I'm having a hard time
believing in your lies.

I like the way you sound
bouncing signals of off satellites.
Keep my head wrapped around
ideas dreams real life.
Hold the stars in your eyes
so I can see them when I need to feel.
I need to feel real.
Keep it real and clear,
wake me up to laugh again.
Tell me how you made it here?
I wanna know everything.
And I'm wild but I'm real,
it's a farell world out there.
I wanna let you in.
Won't you hold my hand,
share the warmth of our skin?
They say that every end
makes way for something new to begin.
Lets start today.

see in the sky
all the stars they shine for us
a million spotlights
to light our way
because we're famous
and the world is our stage
and everyone wants somewhere warm to go
no one will ever really know
how much I need this
(you do)

Sticks and Stones

Dark clouds are looming over us,
looking for a place to call our own.
Time will pass us by
taking with us it's chosen toll.
Roots dig them selves real deep,
stand together and no one falls alone.
Lying here beneath these sheets,
I'm finding things I thought had gone.
Thoughts like avalanches fall from my lips
and I have no claim
a silent protest
to what might break us,
I keep my faith till the bitter end.
And what did Grandfather say?
Sticks and stones will break your bones.
But Grandmother did exclaim
All rivers flow into the ocean.
And you speak me fluidly,
I hear every word you say.
You say you are leaving,
I don't want to believe it.
So here we are,
where ever this may be.
Thinking about everything.
Hold Fast.
Fall asleep.

At times I feel like I need new eyes,
these days have passed me by.
If patience is a virtue
and a virtue is a grace,
then I lack civility today.
I saw them sparks shooting up
from the prairie grass
while I was speeding past.
I don't remember the fireflies,
forgot the dew scent of the midwest.
Tired days and endless nights.
Memories are a strange thing,
how quickly they are made.
Try to hold fast
relive the past
while all the good decays.
And time slips by in different ways,
I promise this time
things have changed.
