I slipped away
I slipped on a little white lie

We’ve got heads on sticks
You’ve got ventriloquists
We’ve got heads on sticks
You’ve got ventriloquists

Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed

Rats and children follow me out of town
Rats and children follow me out of their homes
Come on kids…

I just remembered that time at the market
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
And rode down aisle five
you looked behind you and smile back at me
crashed into a rack full of magazines
they asked us if we could leave.

Can’t remember what went wrong last September
though i’m sure you’d remind me, if you had to

Our love was, comfortable and
so broken in

I sleep with this new girl I?m still getting used to
My friends all approve, say ?she?s gonna be good for you.?
They throw me high fives.
She says the Bible is all that she reads.
and prefers that I not use profanity
Your mouth was so dirty
Life of the party,
And she swears that she?s artsy,
But you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane
Our love was comfortable and so broken in.

She?s perfect
So flawless,
Or so they say.
Hey and
Say, Heyyyyy.

She thinks I can?t see the smile that she?s fakin?
Poses for pictures that aren?t being taken.
I loved you
grey sweat pants
No make up
So perfect
Our love was comfortable and so broken in.

She?s perfect
So flawless
I?m not impressed
I want you back

you saw me sleeping on the couch tonight,
i know it serves you right
makes you luckier than i
all the colors in the room have changed
compared to yesterday
but brother I’ve discovered you

we’re pushing on
we’re passing through
and it wont be long
till I walk with you
tonight I’m down
I’m inside out
staring at the pictures in the album you forgot about

and isn’t it a shame
times have changed
but isn’t it strange
lifelines stay the same, the same

we’re never where we want to be
that’s okay with me
that’s just the way it is, they say
it feels like make believe
that you’re my history
but brother I’ve rediscovered you and

we’re pushing on
we’re passing through
and it won’t be long
till I walk with you
tonight I’m down
yeah, I’m inside out
staring at the pictures in the album you forgot about

isn’t it a shame
that times have changed
but isn’t it strange
lifelines stay the same

round and round
I can’t believe my heart has waited this long
all along, we’ve been children in a cold world
where wonder was lost, every day
and if love was a compass
oh, I’ve lost my way

Me and all my friends
We’re all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There’s no way we ever could
Now we see everything is going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don’t have the means
To rise above and beat it

So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It?s hard to beat the system
When we’re standing at a distance
So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
When you trust your television
What you get is what you got
?Cuz? when they own the information ooohhh,
They can bend it all they want

So while we’re waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It’s not that we don’t care
We just know that the fight ain’t fair
So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

(Guitar solo)

We’re still waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population

So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Know we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change

Was a time when I wasn’t sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you’re in my heart now
Said woman take it slow
It’ll work itself out fine

You and I’ve got what it takes to make it
Said woman take it slow
And I nonononooo

You and I’ll just use a little patience

Sit here on the stairs
‘Cause I’d rather be alone
If I can’t have you right now, I’ll wait dear

Sometimes, I get so tense
But I can’t speed up the time
But you know, love, there’s one more thing to consider

Said woman take it slow
‘Cause the lights are shining bright
You dontnonoronoroo

Said woman take it slow
It’ll work itself out fine

All we need it?s just a little patience

…little patience, mm yeah, ooh yeah,
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah

I’ve been walking these streets at night
Just trying to get it right
It’s hard to see with so many around
You know I don’t like being stuck in a crowd
And the streets don’t change but maybe the name
I ain’t got time for the game
‘Cause I need you
Yeah, yeah well I need you
Oh, I need you
Whoa, I need you
Ooh, this ti- me….

I worry, I weigh three times my body
I worry, I throw my fear around
But this morning, there’s a calm I can’t explain
The rock candy’s melted, only diamonds now remain

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

By the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the light, pretend that it somehow lingered on
Well all I got’s

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
That it won’t and it won’t because it can’t
Because it just can’t
It just can’t
It’s not supposed to

Was there a second of time that I looked around?
Did I sail through or drop my anchor down
Was anything enough to kiss the ground?
And say I’m here now and she’s here now

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

So much wasted in the afternoon
So much sacred in the month of June
How bout you

And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will pay no mind
When it won’t and it won’t
Because it won’t
And I will waste no time
Worried ’bout no rainy weather
And I will waste no time
Remaining in our lives together

I don’t think I’m gonna go to LA anymore
I don’t think I’m gonna go to LA anymore
I don’t know what it’s like to land and not race to your door
But I don’t think I’m gonna go to LA anymore

I don’t think I’m gonna go to LA anymore
I’m not sure that I really ever could
Hold on to a hotel key
in your bedroom neighborhood
With me sleep walking in Hollywood

I’m gonna steer clear
Burn up in your atmosphere
I’m gonna steer clear
Cause I’d die if I saw you
I’d die if I didn’t see you there
So I don’t think I’m gonna go to LA anymore

I dont think I’m gonna go to LA anymore
Get lost on the boulevard at night
Without your voice to tell me
I love you, take a right
The ten and the two is a lonely sight

I’m gonna steer clear
Burn up in your atmosphere
I’m gonna steer clear
Cause I’d die if I saw you
I’d die if I didn’t see you

I’m gonna steer clear
Burn up in your atmosphere
I’m gonna steer clear
Cause I’d die if I saw you
I’d die if I didn’t see you there, see you there

I think I’m gonna stay gonna stay, gonna stay in the grey, think i’m gonna stay
All the street lights say nevermind nevermind
All the canyon lines say nevermind
Sunset says we see this all the time, nevermind never you mind

We spotted the ocean
At the head of the trail
Where are we goin’
So far away
And somebody told me
That this is the place
Where everything’s better
And everything’s safe

CHORUS:
Walk on the ocean
Step on the stones
Flesh becomes water
Wood becomes bone

Half an hour later
We packed up our things
We said we’d send letters
And all of those little things
And they knew we were lyin’
But they smiled just the same
It seemed they’d already
Forgotten we came

(CHORUS X 2)

Back at the homestead
Where the air makes you choke
And people don’t know you
And trust is a joke
We don’t even have pictures
Just memories to hold
Cause sweeter each season
We slowly grow old

I am driving up 85 in the
kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
just stuck inside the gloom

Four more exits to my apartment but
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
and leave it all behind

Cause I wonder sometimes
about the outcome
of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why, why Georgia, why

I rent a room and I fill the spaces with
wood in places to make it feel like home
but all I feel’s alone
It might be a quarter life crisis
or just the stirring in my soul

Either way I wonder sometime
about the outcome
of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right
Am I living it right
Am I living it right
Why, why Georgia why

So what, so I’ve got a smile on
but It’s hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
Don’t believe me
Don’t believe me
When I say I’ve got it down

Everybody is just a stranger but
that’s the danger in going my own way
I guess It’s the price I have to pay
still “Everything happens for a reason”
is no reason not to ask myself

If I am living it right
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why tell me why
Why, why Georgia why

I know a girl.
She puts the color inside of my world.
She’s just like a maze,
Where all of the walls all continually change.

I’ve done all I can
To stand on the steps with my heart in my hand,
now I’m starting to see
Maybe it’s got nothing to do with me.

Fathers be good to your daughters;
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers,
So mothers be good to your daughters, too.

Oh, you see that skin;
It’s the same she’s been standing in
Ever since the day she saw him walking away
Now she’s left cleaning up the mess he made.

so, Fathers be good to your daughters;
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers,
So mothers be good to your daughters, too.

Boys you can break,
You find out how much they can take.
Boys will be strong, and boys soldier on,

But boys would be gone without warmth
From a woman’s good, good heart
On behalf of every man, looking out for every girl,
You are the god, and the weight of her world.

so Fathers be good to your daughters,
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers,
So mothers be good to your daughters, too.
So mothers be good to your daughters, too.
So mothers be good to your daughters, too.
