Dumbest
of all of the dumb things that i've done this must be the dumbest
calling you up this drunk to say
this will be the last time the very very last time i call to say

o how the cops knew to wonder when wondering was dead
because it was already said and done -
it had all been said and done before

there was a tv pilot that addressed this same issue
when arnold said to willis only the truth will set you free
you're just a joke till someone stands up and says
i love you enough to know set myself free

hold yourself still - when liz put the song on
repeat again i'm not sure why
its not like she's coming home at all i'm

standing here with arms wide open
hoping that maybe you will understand the mess i've made.

there you go again talking like you've done it all
when you've not done a thing you're not trying stop telling me that you're
the couple downstairs are always yelling i got tired of the fighting yelling and shouting

we got tired of moving around; its like cops at
the accident flares up and waving people on with 'there's nothing here to see' 

o all the times that we make messes up and downs and backwards again
the truth will set you free i tell you truthfully
this all i can take this is me at the end of my rope

i'm standing here with arms wide open
hoping that maybe you will understand the mess i've made.

Dear, All of us
dear, all of us held hopes that
maybe this won't be any better or worse than before
you lying there wondering what about left to care
don't tell me what to feel, don't you dare

where does the pain go, where does it go when it leave?
does it extend like rays of light from you to me and then back to you again 

all of us, dear, all of us through all the ups and downs
thanks to you dear for bringing us all back to ground.

dear all of us had wondered what it would be like to not
be here, at one point or another hold still while they help
but the helping just isn't helping
you smile and say you're not sure how much more you can take

where does the pain go, where does it go when it leaves?
does it extend like rays of light from you to me and then back to you again

all of us, dear, all of us through all the ups and downs
thanks to you dear for bringing us all back to ground.

dear all of us waited while the synopsis was nested and
brought out painfully drawn by experts tired smile says
don't make a mess only sing it to set it free to let it out no need to hold onto this

where does the pain go, where does it go when it leave?
does it extend like rays of light from you to me and then back to you again

all of us, dear, all of us through all the ups and downs
thanks to you dear for bringing us all back to ground.

Driving
why don't we hold still untill the cops drive by
they don't care about us they couldn't care less about you or I
all the way home the quietness and the radio played on
filled in the blanks with sound

maybe you were right
when you said all the things inside of us
that might be seen as ugly
could very well be the most beautiful

and then the song stops lights fade black
talking comes and the talking goes
and it raises itself out
how many times do we need to talk about this thing
it makes itself so apparent in everything

maybe you were right
when you said all the things inside of us
hat might be seen as ugly
could very well be the most beautiful

 

ACCIDENT CAR

Accident car accident car
Going to where all the accidents are
Sooner or later you can tell that the more they talk the further they go
They don’t get far; don’t get far

This one was done
this one got left
Waiting to be put to rest

Call the kids up
Tell them it’s the greatest thing
Tell the drunks at the back
to shut their pieholes
‘cause they’re not listening at all

my mom says to get things done
you best not mess with uncle tom
my mom says to get things done
you best not mess with uncle tom

FEBRUARY
they made you wait so long that you felt that the waiting
Wore you out
And in wearing down
You were worried that you wouldn’t make it

They made arrangements for flowers and candles
Told you about how you should stop asking
Why can’t you stop asking about it?

I am standing on top of you
Wondering about which way it goes
Wondering how
This is you and me
Establishing gravity
Pushing through
February again.

The car was left
Halfway between the accident and out of town
It wasn’t mentioned as you walked through the door
Why all the anger?
Why all the telling?
This won’t happen, you can’t promise
But want to promise that
This won’t happen anymore

I am standing on top of us
Wondering how to make the break less
Apparent and noisy
Its hospitals and sad
You make it up as you go
No wondering about it anymore
Cause it always turns out the same

You and me
Establishing gravity
Pushing through a different sort of February
