I've been away a year and a day
You recognize love after the fact
You did what you did and that was that
Don't say words that you don't mean
When I'm gone, please speak well of me
Looking back now
I only wish I had been kinder
Did I ever know love, did I ever know love?
And could I have been blinder?
Don't hold back all your love for someday, for someday
I would say that I'm sorry if it would do any good
But to never regret means you have to forget
and I don't think that I could
. . .

When you go away it's like you hide the sun
I regret today, the things that we might have done
No relief from grey skies
Where'd you take those blue eyes?
What can I do?
When you go away it's an unfinished song
Can't find words to say
but I know where you belong
Take me with you this time, won't you, won't you?
Don't make me miss you this time
don't you, don't you
We're so much better together don't you think?
I do.
Walk the street parade looking through everyone
But they don't have your face
Oh look what I've become
. . .

Don't know why you do the things you do do do
Holding it together with some glue glue glue
Your favorite color isn't red it's blue blue blue
No one knows a red red rose
So you never get the things you need need need
Where it's hurt you cover up
with weeds weeds weeds
Open it back up and let it bleed bleed bleed
No one knows it's a red red rose
I'm not yours, you're not mine
Hope you find love in time
Memories come back like falling leaves leaves leaves
Never get to love by saying please please please
Praying only gets you on your knees knees knees
No one knows a red red rose
Take your time putting on
your clothes clothes clothes
Look into the mirror and you pose pose pose
Learn to live with everything you chose chose chose
No one knows a red red rose

(feat. Colbie Caillat)
I went to the market
though it was threatening rain
I was late to the station
so I missed that train
And the streets filled with umbrellas
and we all looked the same
But I'm the one who's waiting
'til the sun comes out again
I was made for sunny days
I made do with grey, but I didn't stay
I was made for sunny days
And I was made for you
Found a book you gave me
When we were first in bloom
When I thought that you might save me
from the dark side of the moon
Instead we both went walking
through the shadows and the gloom
And we never did stop talking
And you still light up the room
Oh, the nights are longer
Oh, you make me stronger
And the late light lingers on the grass
And the nights are dark but then they pass
They don't seem so deep
I'm still losing sleep but I don't mind,
no I don't mind
Got you a winter jacket
that our baby wears around
And we chase him through the springtime
and the sleeves drag on the ground
And every hour we're working
and work and play are bound
And every day is Sunday
'cause the sun comes dancing down
. . .

Lovers walk two by two,
doing things lovers do
They're in love, where am I?
I see them on my way home,
how I hate to be alone
They're in love, where am I?
I guess I have to hope
that today the sun will shine
And maybe tomorrow you'll be mine
Until that day I will wait
and watch the lovers on the lake
They're in love, where am I?
I walk alone on lover's land,
past the kisses in the rain
They're in love, where am I?
They're in love, where am I?
. . .

Well I know that life is hard,
you make it all right
And I know how dark you get
late in the night
I'm gonna add my effort to you
I'm gonna add my effort to you
Try and love you
You feel wronged by everything
that hasn't been right
Why can't we sit and watch TV
'til late in the night?
Oh don't take it away, oh don't take it away
When it's dark you say it is
because there's no light
And though it's not I'll say it is
I'll say it's all right
. . .

Be my thrill
My little white pill
My unpaid bill
The one who will
Be my love
My little grey dove
My push and my shove
My heaven above
And we tumble down like Jack and Jill
And I miss all of the joy you kill
But I love you still
Be my thrill
Be my one
My day in the sun
My little pop gun
The best thing I've done
Be my what
My open and shut
My everything but
My little hot slut
And we tumble down like Jack and Jill
And I miss all of the joy you kill
But I love you still
Be my thrill
Every morning is like the one before
And Everybody needs someone to adore
I'm counting on you
Oh oh baby say you will
Oh oh baby be my thrill
Be my youth
My kissing booth
My little sweet tooth
My beauty and truth
Be my thrill
My little white pill
My wait up until
The one who will
And we tumble down like Jack and Jill
And I miss all of the joy you kill
But I love you still
Be my thrill
And we tumble down like Jack and Jill
And I miss all of the joy you kill
But I love you still
Be my thrill
Yeah I love you still
Be my thrill
. . .

Dance with me darling, the night is falling
You never answer although all my life I'm calling
Be my honeypie, never say goodbye
If you don't love me I will die
Be my honeypie
You turn me on, keep me up 'til dawn
Come and get me, baby
because soon I will be gone
What good are the stars above
if you're not in love?
Let me make it right, stay with me tonight
You ought to let somebody hold you tight
. . .

Always been like a hummingbird
and I can't sit still
Listen up, lover listen up, I never will
Wings move faster than the human eye
And if you could see my heart
well, if you could see my heart,
Kept from flying outwards
somehow I don't know
Wonder I don't come apart
Wonder I don't come apart
Hold out your hand
Yours is the only one that I dare land upon
Stole a ruby necklace
from the chamber of a queen
Distraction for my heart
distraction for my heart
Thrumming like a diver's every time you're near
The only sound I hear, it's the only sound I hear
Sweetness captures honeybees in time
Amber like your eyes, amber like your eyes
Maybe there's a season when I'll taste that wine
A thimble at a time, a thimbleful of wine
. . .

Maybe if you came about
Maybe if you turned this ship around
If you waited this one out
and just put your head down
Oh, in your dreams you find out
Though it's not quite how you remember
In your dreams you find out
Everything's greener
You're still hard to please
Maybe if you lightened up
Maybe if you wrote that anthem
Raising high a Dixie Cup
Don't put your hand down
What is it worth to you to be a free someone?
What is it worth to you? What would you do?
Everything.
Maybe if you came about
Baby don't you run this ship aground
Feet of water in the well
but you can't keep her head down
No, you can't keep her head down
. . .

This is not a lullaby,
one that makes you close your eyes
Here's a song that will not try
to hold you in my arms
This is not a true love song,
one that lifts your heart along
Because you know it's being sung
to hold you in my arms
The rain it falls
right outside your door
and you know if you call
I'll be there, I'll be there
whatever you call me for
This is just a quiet tune,
to bring the light into your room
When I'm not right in front of you
to hold you in my arms
This is not a lullaby
to keep the clouds out of the sky,
to be sure you will not cry
when I hold you in my arms
I'm gonna hold you in my arms
. . .

No money, no friends
You just passed the end
How do you get high?
You don't drink, don't smoke
You'll live long, you hope
How do you get high?
I'm down with no plans
One thing I don't understand
How do you get high?
Long pipe, big bowl
You feel good, you feel old
How do you get high?
You leave early, you stay late
You smile while your heart breaks
How do you get high?
Long past no hope
You're fixed, you're broke
How do you get high?
No money, no friends
You just passed the end
How do you get high?

Where we live spring comes early
Trees in bloom when the northern country
is covered in snow
A windy fitful day in winter
charging toward the Ides of May
The climate now is cling to splinters
We hold hands while we work and play
and hope tomorrow is a sunny day
Where we live men are women
Women are teenage boys
and everyone wants to look like them,
but be like men
Rubens would have loved you
and painted you that way
With your pen and paper,
paying quiet attention to a lady with a plastic face
So thin, so thin she might blow away...

16 balloons against the blue
they're red, they're red like a dream come true
Sure it was enough to give them to you
to watch you let them go, let them go
Empty your hands
of overheard conversations
Empty your hands
static from the big bang
and dinosaur radio stations
Empty your hands
genocides in foreign nations
Empty your hands and look up
His eyes are wide and beautiful,
my own feel dull and old
They can't recall some buoyancy,
they've had too much to hold, let them go
Floating past a daytime moon
transparent as a shell
Rubies in a well, sixteen apples on a tree
we never would have seen
if his fingers weren't so free
Our baby learned to run today
in circles on the grass
His joyful face it radiates
These moments go so fast, let them go
. . .
