this is so much better
why don’t people stick together
why don’t we get a house
up on a hill
enjoy the weather
while we can
while we’re young
while we can still have fun
while we can sit out in the sun
and we can watch the people run
run run run

mollie walks to class each day
in perfect time she’s never late
and lately its been just the same
the same but oh so different
mollie whispered in my ear
to just have someone sitting near
to nearly make me wanna die
to dye my memories black and white
mollie cried and fell asleep
in perfect time she woke to leave
she left me with a mess to clean
she cleanly cut the cord
mollie walked to class today
behind her i followed all the way
the way back home is bittersweet
and sweetly we all forget

i like him
he’s funny
he told me a really good story
i don’t care
if it wasn’t true
the sun rose
he knows what I’m thinking
after all
its all just a dream
i told you
get out while you still can
he’s hungry
he’s not had his fill

Prophet

i spoke with the prophet
i told him everything
he said silly boy
you’re much too worried today
i don’t know if i believe
i only see what i can see
I’m only trying to be
somebody who listens
i wrote my statesman
i told him everything
how the prophet has a plan for our souls
how we’re all gonna reap what we sow
i'm not sure if he believes
i doubt if he even reads
i need somebody
somebody who listens

i don’t know
what i said
to make you mine
it’s a shadow
of a feeling
in the evening light
its a shadow
of feeling
its a glowing light
i don’t know
what to say
to you this time
you know me more than you know
you know me more that you know
I’m alone in my head
sometimes i make mistakes
I’m alone in my head
sometimes i make mistakes

i got all my ducks
in a row
i could watch them walk
all the way
to the lake
and wade into the water
and swim away
won’t see them tomorrow
or any other day
because they’ve gone away
and i’m here to stay

Alone

somewhere there’s a man
sitting all alone
in a house
made of stone
with a warmth
in his heart
and a chill
in his bones
and
somewhere there’s a mouse
scurrying to a hole
from a broom or a mop
to a sanctuary of his own
and he’s saying
i wanna be alone
i wanna be alone
i wanna be alone
i wanna be alone
somewhere there’s a woman
talking on the phone
to a man
in a house
made of stone
with a warmth
in her heart
and a chill
and
somewhere there's a lady mouse
scurrying to a hole
from a dog or a cat
to a place
made a home
like a sanctuary of their own
and they’re saying
i wanna be alone
with you
i wanna be alone
with you
i wanna be alone
with you
i wanna be alone

met u

met you on a day the world was turning
never would have guessed that you’d been hurting
guess it goes to show that life is moving
guess i should have said what you meant to me
so far away
you sang
you don’t have to do it alone
but you can if you want to
you will if you choose to
but i don’t want to lose you
no i don’t want to lose you
met you on a day the world was turning
never would have guessed that you’d been hurting
guess it goes to show that life is moving
guess i should have said what you meant to me
so far away
you sang

there’s no shame in losing your mind
you never really had it to begin with
you’ll never find it when you look
but perhaps you’ll stumble upon it again

In A Dream

the water’s so enchanting
i guess i’ll take a dip
but now i can’t recognize the faces of my friends
i could walk a thousand
a thousand miles from here
but that’s still to close for comfort, my dear
because in a dream
you looked so mean
i can’t believe
my thoughts
so call me up this evening
i like to hear your voice
even if its just a shadow of your thoughts
i’ll be in my bedroom
just lying on the floor
i won’t move a single muscle till you’re gone
the shadows on the ceiling
confuse my stupid mind
i can see your face each time i close my eyes
but in a dream
you said to me
why don’t you pack
your bags and leave
and now i can’t
explain myself
i can’t believe
my thoughts
so i got all these problems
i guess i’ll take a trip
i will meet you when my train comes back in
but as soon as i’ve departed
i wish i’d stayed at home
please don’t hate me for my absence, i know
in a dream
you said so sweetly
i can’t believe
my thoughts
so right before i doze off
i’ll think of you and then
i will leave you till the morning again
