Wreck of the Day

Monday, May 1st, 2006

Driving away from the wreck of the day
And the light’s always red in the rear-view
Desperately close to a coffin of hope
I’d cheat destiny just to be near you
If this is giving up, then I’m giving up
If this is giving up, then I’m giving up, giving up
On love, On love

Driving away from the wreck of the day
And I’m thinking ’bout calling on Jesus
‘Cuz love doesnt hurt so I know I’m not falling in love
I’m just falling to pieces
And if this is giving up then I’m giving up
If this is giving up then I’m giving up, giving up
On love, On love

Maybe I’m not up for being a victim of love
All my resistance will never be distance enough

Driving away from the wreck of the day
And it’s finally quiet in my head
Driving alone, finally on my way home to the comfort of my bed
And if this is giving up, then I’m giving up
If this is giving up, then I’m giving up, giving up
On love, On love

Satellite

Monday, May 1st, 2006

Black and blue I chose my way
I, the candid castaway
In a way delayed by one more broken season
To find reason for appeasing you and

So I found my guiding light
Lamp and flashing red and white
Through a starry night I’m better nowhere-bound
Than boundin on your solid ground

Satellite, save my life
I’m wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
A whisper on a two-way radio

Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhh

All in all I feel the same
Wishing on an airplane
Its callin stars by name
A lonely song of freedom rings
In hope of someone listening and
So I send my feeble flare
Through the silent arctic air
Heading anywhere
Until at last i’ve finally found
A place to lay my anchor down

Satellite, save my life
I’m wishin on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
You never know never never

Heaven help me I’m
Drownin and I can’t save me
Send some salvation
To keep me alive

Satellite, save my life
I’m wishin on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
Satellite, save my life
I’m wishin on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
A whisper on a two-way radio

Ahhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhh

Paper Bag

Monday, May 1st, 2006

She don’t run from the sun no more
She boxed her shadow and she won
Said I can see you laugh
Through these bottle caps
And this wire around my neck aint
There for fun

But someday we’ll all be old
And I’ll be so damn beautiful

Meanwhile I hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I cant see you
Then you can’t see me
And it’ll be okay
Fly little bee away
To where theres no more rain
And I can be me

Yeah they talk about her
She smiles like shes so tough
She says
“hey can you talk a little louder,
I don’t think my heart is broken enough”

But someday we’ll all be old
And I’ll be so damn beautiful

Meanwhile I hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I can’t see you
Then you can’t see me
And it’ll be okay
Fly little bee away
To where theres no more rain
And I can be me

Some days I wait in the indigo
Singing that song on the radio
I blame these puddles on the rain
You know I gotta keep these cheeks dry today
Gotta keep my cheating strategy
And baby I’m gonna have it made.

In the Rough

Monday, May 1st, 2006

You say you fell while holding diamonds in your hands
“It’s your fault for running, holding diamonds,” I said
And I offer no sympathy for that
I hear that it was you who died alone
And I offer no sympathy for that
Better off I sparkle on my own

And someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough

I turned around 3 times and wound up at your door
Now you say you know all you did not know before
And I offer no sympathy for that
I hear that it was you who died alone
And I offer no sympathy for that
Better off I sparkle on my own

And someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough

I got your love letters
I threw them all away
And I hear you think that I’m crazy
I’m driving 95
And I’m driving you away
And I shine a little more lately

Someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough

Someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough

I shine a little more lately

In My Head

Monday, May 1st, 2006

Under the weight of your wings
You are a god and whatever I want you to be
And I wonder if truly you are
Nearly as beautiful as I believe

In my head
Your voice
You’ve got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night

Under the weight of your wings
Should ever we meet on your side of your stereo
I will pretend I know not of your thoughts
And even the way that they mirror my own
I’ll take you away in the way that you take me and go where I go

In my head
Your voice
You’ve got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night

Fall away to the sound of my heart to your beat
Melancholy and cool, kind of bitter sweet
Love on repeat
I’m echoing all your philosophies
And as I fall away to the sound of my heart to your beat
Melancholy and cool, kind of bitter sweet
Love on repeat
I’m echoing all your philosophies
And as I…

Oh…

I don’t
Wanna be fool-hearted
Baby, I’m out
Numbered in my head
I don’t
I don’t wanna be fool-hearted
Baby, I’m out
Numbered in my head
My head…

In my head
Your voice
You’ve got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another night

Yeah, your voice
You’ve got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night

Lonely night…

Under the weight of your wings
I make believe you are all that I’ll ever need

All that I need…
