no way round

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

If it was every day raining
If the sun never shone
I would not be complaining
Long as you came along

If it was only an ocean
I would swim it and see
Would you take to the notion?
Would you rescue me?

But how do you touch me from so far away
My pretense of sanity day after day
Lighten my load just to deal with reality
There’s no way round

What if I told you
I only live for the end
I think I’m dying,
Dying to know you
All over again

No way round (no way round)
Coming down (coming down)
When we’ve found ourselves so far from the ground
It’s insane (it’s insane)
It’s okay (it’s okay)
When there’s no way
No way round

Dying to know you

But how do you touch me from so far?
Does every step pull me to where you are?
A window of madness I’ll hold on somehow
There’s no way

Under the cover of darkness
I can always pretend
But it’s hard, hardest at night time

Coming down (coming down)
When we’ve found ourselves
So far from the ground
It’s insane (it’s insane)
It’s okay (it’s okay)
When there’s no way
No way round

Coming down (coming down)
When we’ve found ourselves
So far from the ground
It’s insane (it’s insane)
It’s okay (it’s okay)
When there’s no way
No way round

No way round
Every day rain
What if I told you?
No way round
Cover of darkness
No way round
No way round

so not real

Friday, February 16th, 2007

This is so not real
Anything can happen,
It already did.
Did I wake too soon?
Was the only thing that mattered
You?

‘Cause I don’t feel

This is so not real
Anything can happen,
It already did.
Did I wake too soon?
Was the only thing that mattered
You?

‘Cause I don’t feel
And I won’t heal
I don’t feel
I won’t heal
No

This is so not real
Anything can happen,
It already did.
Did I wake too soon?
Was the only thing that mattered…

I wake up in the morning
And it’s just another day
Though I don’t like what I’m seeing
Think there’s got to be another way
I get up and I pull on my pants
Then I go downstairs and the only thing that’s slipping through is
So not real
So not real
So not real
So not real
So not, so not real

fly away

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

Living in a corner
Where the sunlight hardly reaches in
Hoping for the words you long for
Forget the words and start to sing
Watching with deliberation
Nothing comes to those who
Wait in line for blind salvation
Step aside and test your Faith

Fly away, high across the mountain
Fly away, leave it somewhere down there
Fly away, far above the desert

On your knees beneath the table
Should the walls all crumble in
Would they know you
Who would find you
Know enough to start again and

Fly away, high across the mountain
Fly away, leave it somewhere down there
Fly away, far above the desert
Take these wings and fly

With your mother, to your father
Know your sister, how your brother
Someone somewhere somehow

Listen with intention with the right before I’m meant to die
If that’s a plan already written
Take these wings and learn to

Fly away, high across the mountain
Fly away, leave it somewhere down there
Fly away, far above the desert
Take these wings
Take these wings
Take these wings and fly
