Greg Laswell Album

go to sleep while i gather all my things
and i will call you in a couple of days
i can hear the june bugs approaching
a god damn army of them in my brain

"sing," theresa says. "sing happy things"
"sing," theresa says if i do everything
one day a man will spring worth loving

all of my friends fall from the sky now
many more than i ever thought i had
everyone is sharpening up their angles
when all i really want is...

"sing," theresa says. "sing happy things"
"sing," theresa says if i do everything
one day a man will spring worth loving

ba-da-dum-da-dum-da-dum-dum
ba-da-dum-da-dum-da-dum-dum
ba-da-dum-da-dum-da-dum-dum
ba-da-dum-da-dum-da-dum-dum

"sing," theresa says. "sing happy things"
"sing," theresa says if i do everything
one day a man will spring worth loving

Dropped by your house today
My spiral down is over
Everyone is gonna say
That I am in way over my head
my head

And I don't think that you'd believe
The things that i've been up to
Since you went away
I think that we are even steven
Steven

And I'm amazed at how you fumble
Through saying the things that you do
I don't know how you do it
but you do it
you do it

Drove by my life the other day
It looked like it was over
Since you went away
But I am a day older
And it's almost may
It's almost may

And I'm amazed at how you fumble
Through saying the things that you do
I don't know how you do it
but you do it
you do it

Mary, do what you can
Do get me out of this
And I'll make it worth your while

Hey Tori, all of your stories
Make more sense these days
And I never wanted them
To be worth my while

I'll stand still
Go around, go around, go around...

Loui, do what you can, friend
To turn up the sound, man
And I'll make it worth their while

Robin, do what you can love
To face everything love
And one day it will all be worthwhile

I'd take all of it from you
All of it

Oh lady don't you worry
i'm just in a flurry now
but the wind is picking up now
and the new newspaper's all over town
and i say what's on my mind from here on out
and i am fine
okay yeah, sure jim is a friend of mine
but he is running out of time
i'll do what i can for you here
i'll do what i can for you here
dad whatever you have
i'm sure it's living in me
cause i'm convinced
that all of this has been the best for me
and i say what's on my mind most of the time
and i am fine
okay yeah, i could barely walk a mile
but i am running now
running now
i know you've thought about everything you could have done
i know your home is on fire with the things that you've done wrong
cause i live there too
yeah, i live there too

I'm going to see some friends from out of state
The very trip that you were supposed to take a while ago
But it fell through
Like all of you
Like all of you

Thought i'd make the drive but a free plane ride is in the air
And just like that my fear of it disappeared
Like all of you
Like all of you

And i look high and low for yesterday
High and low for you and i
High and low

Once i can see straight i might move somewhere cold
Seattle or the bay area; to see your ghost
What's left of you
What's left of you

And i look high and low for yesterday
High and low for you and i
High and low

Found a letter from a man i might have met, addressed to you
And i'll steal the words he ended with:
I miss you
And i do
Miss you
And i do

High and low for yesterday
High and low for you and i
High and low

This is just about as much as I can handle
I'm not nearly strong as I can sometimes seem
My life turned on a dime
And nearly threw me out of time

Same as you
Same as me
Same as everything we've seen
Same as you
Same as me
Same as everything we've seen

Oh and everything is nothing
Cause everything was me
Oh and everything is nothing
Cause everything was me

All of you
All of me
All of everything we've seen
All of you
And all of me
All of everything we've seen

Was all of it for nothing?
Was all of it for me?
Was all of it for nothing?
Was all of it for me?

Turns out that all of it was nothing
Cause everything was me
Turns out that all of it was nothing
Cause everything was me

My my how quickly I'm outside
of you
My my how quickly everything
That I knew

It turns out that everything is nothing
Cause everything was me
Always everything for nothing
Cause everything for me

Always everything for nothing
Cause everything was me
To you
Everything is nothing
Cause everything was

My my how quickly I'm outside
of you
My my how quickly everything
That I knew

Another humdrum grey day
i wonder if this rain passed toledo
and if so i hope it left a sunny day through your window
i can't make shape or form
of this new emotion

i need a drive up san francisco bay
i'd write this song on the way
i'm not sure i belong here anyway
she thinks that i've already gone away

another hum drum grey day
maybe i'll head out for a movie
the day is always so bright
after a matinee
wouldn't you say?

i need a drive up san francisco bay
i'd write this song on the way
i'm not sure i belong here anyway
she thinks that i've already gone away

yeah i figure one day i'll snap out of this
yeah one day soon i'll pull my head down out of outer-space
yeah i figure one day i'll snap out of this
yeah one day soon i'll take that drive out

You string lies up like lights
At Christmas time
They cut through my night and keep me up
Run away
Run away
Run away

What has been going on in that mind?
What have you gotta say?
I've gotta mark this down
Mark this down now

I'm hit with all of the times
You said "fine"
And daylight burns in a way I've never
Felt till now
Felt till now

I tear away at myself to get at you
Cut through my thick skull to bleed out you
What has been going on in that mind?
What have you gotta say?
I've gotta mark this down,
Mark this down now

Well I'm hit with all of the times
You said "fine"
And daylight burns in a way I've never
Felt till now
Felt till now

We would've made it if you would have
Opened your mouth up just one time
Yeah we would've made it if I would have
Opened my ears up just one time

i want to live on a street in the movies
the one with the trees that filters the sun out
little by little i could loosen up there
and take the long way around
take the long way around

i want to live on a street in the movies
i want my mind on undemanding things
honestly i could live without all of this
and take the long way around
take the long way around

where you are alive and well in me

Sleep my love while I come undone
And I'll brace myself for when you're done
Sweet dreams my love
Take them all
Take them all
While I Absorb you and what you've done
What you've done

You never gave it wind
You never let me in

You shine like winter under sun
Under sun
You kill me with christmas
And I hope you find the day that you
came undone
While I Absorb you and what you've done
What you've done

You never gave it wind
You never let me in

Whisper till the coffee comes
Whisper till you come undone
Whisper till the film starts
Whisper till I fall apart

My head rings of you
a melody that's hard to sing out
twisting around
with no cadence
and no root
by dissonance
i sing of you

and my ears are deaf to the sound of sense
i've tried to beat it in
