You run away
You could turn and stay
But you run away
From me

I tried to be
Your brother
You cried and
Ran for cover

I made a mess, who doesn't
I did my best
But it wasn't
Enough

You run away
You could turn and stay
But you run away
From me

I'll give you something you can cry about
One thing, you should try it out
Hold a mirror shoulder-high
When you're older, look you in the eye

When you're older, look you in the eye

I tried, but you tried harder
I lied, but you lied smarter
You made me guess, who was it?
I did my best but it wasn't enough

You run away
You could turn and stay
But you run away
From me

You run away (I tried to be your brother)
You could turn and stay (you cried and ran for cover)
But you run away (I made a mess who doesn't)
From me (I did my best but it wasn't enough)

It's not something to cry about
It's not something to lie about

You run away (I tried to be your brother)
You could turn and stay (you cried and ran for cover)
But you run away (I made a mess who doesn't)
From me (I did my best but it wasn't enough)

Saving it up
Savoring every ounce of sunlight
What comes to be, gradually
Feels like overnight

So, bundle up
And hunker down
See you on the other side
Mercury falls so
How, how do we make it though the days?
How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
Well, you have to understand that
Soon enough we'll wake up from such a
daze,
thanks to all the many ways
We're all pushing through, for Summertime

We cover it up, we bottle it in,
But that won't make it feel right
Toppin' it off, rubbing it in
There's always a big mess of white

So bundle up
And hunker down
Here it comes again
Just one more round
See you on the other side
Mercury falls so

How, how do we make it though the days?
How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
Well, you have to understand that
Soon enough we'll wake up from such a daze,
thanks to all the many ways
We're all pushing through for Summertime
Our love pushing through, for Summertime
How, how do we make it though the days?
How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
Well, you have to understand that
Soon enough we'll wake up from such a daze,
thanks to all the many ways
We're all pushing through, for Summertime

Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
Hold on, here comes another heartache
Too bad, but it's still a chance I had to take
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak

Soaking in another rainy day
I stopped to watch the long parade
Winding slowly through the maze
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
Hold on, here comes another heartache
Too bad, but it's still a chance I had to take
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak

I lost my way in the summer breeze
I fell down to my hands and knees
And now I am searching
Through the autumn leaves

Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
Hold on, here comes another heartache
Too bad, but it's still a chance I had to take
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak

And here you stand in front of me
In all of the complexity
That I had mistaken for simplicity

Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
Hold on, here comes another heartache
Too bad, but it's still a chance I had to take
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak

Hold on

Goes to show
It's not what you know
(But) who you know
So's, you know
I can go with the flow
Build my note
Then throw to snow
Before the show
Stay low
Play it on a Dobro
Oh, I tiptoe to and fro
From Ontario
My stereo's blue like the rodeo
Growing like a freak show free throw
It's just the intro
Keep dropping like dominoes

One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four

Now rewind
What'd you have in mind?
Could we unwind?
I'm fine
We can find a streamline
Recombine and intertwine
If I'm gonna headline
Tryin' to be moving all the behinds
Line to line
Try to shine
Redesigned and redefined
Keeping up the spellbind
Gotta make it worth the grind
Just in time to have another close encounter of the third kind

One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four

I've been away for years and a day
You'd be thinking I'd be lonely
But I'm out here to stay
Wouldn't have it any other way

Oh flip, the light is turning orange
Coat ripped when I caught it in the door hinge
I slip when the lady in the four-inch
Bought it in a store in Germany
You wore it like a makeshift snowdrift
Had to get a gift
Saw the red shift rift
Gretta got an eyelift
Oh sure, that one's obscure
Maybe piss-poor, but I had to take a little detour

I've been away for years and a day
You'd be thinking I'd be lonely
But I'm out here to stay
Wouldn't have it any other way

One Mississippi
Two Mississippi
Three Mississippi
Four

On the lookout
The wind stopped
We chose this spot
To begin

When we looked out
The waves crashed
Smashing our past
Moving fast
Nothing lasts
Make it last

This all will pass
Just like us
Just like this spot
Don't miss this
We've only got one shot

Hold on to this rock face
It's dried and cracked
But grab on
Don't wait long
Longing to
Look out for you

This all will pass
Just like us
Just like this spot
Don't miss this
We've only got one shot

On the lookout
On the lookout
On the lookout
On the lookout

Don't you know we lost?
Sunk so low, we just called it off
How an ordinary moment gets tossed
A more than ordinary woman's the cost

Believe me
Believe me

Thought I understood
Fought to buy the whole neighborhood
You ought to try, "I told you so", it feels good
Bought it high, and sold as low as I could

Believe me
Believe me

It's come undone
Done
It's come undone
Done

Have another look, another look around
Have another look around

I can't stay too long
Can only play a handful of songs
How a melody can make up your mind
Take a memory and leave it behind

Believe me
Believe me

It's come undone
Done
It's come undone
Done

No, don't know everything
There's known unknowns
Too long just wondering
Lazybones

Spare me the parlor tricks
That impress your fans
Waving your candlesticks
In your burned hands
I have learned to live with livin' with
Every choice we made
But I would love to live with giving this
Shaky voice some shade

I don't think you're comfortable
Until you're not
When things get wonderful
You get hot

Can you forgive me for
What I had to do?
I'd use a metaphor
But I'm done with you

I have learned to live with living with
Every choice we made
But I would love to live with giving this
Shaky voice some shade

Same sun
Same fun
Whole new World

I have learned to live with livin' with
Every choice we made
But I would love to live with giving this
Shaky voice some shade

My backpack was faded black
But now it's all blue
It looks whack, but it's compact
And works like brand new

I had found an old Greyhound
But it wasn't my scene
I'm underground at the turnaround
And this one is pristine

Warehouses above
All I'm thinking of
You gave your heart to me
Soon the world will see
Our graffiti love
Spray paint on my glove
They'll wonder who you are
On every subway car

I'm on my own, I'm Sly Stallone
I did it for you
I've outgrown my wings, and flown
Into something brand new

I show restraint, I'm the Patron Saint
Of urban gardens in bloom
If I don't faint ingesting paint
Breathing all of these fumes

Warehouses above
All I'm thinking of
You gave your heart to me
Soon the world will see
Our graffiti love
Spray paint on my glove
They'll wonder who you are
On every subway car

On every subway car you look amazing
While streaming out of bars their glasses raising
Systemically refused
Then chemically removed

Our grafitti love
On every subway car

When you walk in Jerome
You never walk alone
'Cause the ghosts dance all around you
All around you, in Jerome

Take the Bloody Basin Road
Through Black Water Canyon
Up the twisted road
To Mingus Mountain
Then you'll know you are home
In the ghost town called Jerome
Where the ghosts dance all around you
All around you, in Jerome

Bar brawlers and drifters
Gamblers and gun fighters
Ladies of the evening, and copper miners
They kept the jailhouse filled
'til it rolled down the hill

So, when you walk in Jerome
You'll never walk alone
'Cause the ghosts dance all around you
All around you, in Jerome

They're all around you, in Jerome

So, give it up for anger
It makes us strong
I maybe just meant to thank her
strong and wrong

Don't say how long
Don't say how long
How long

We never discuss the notches
We just fight away
Even a busted watch is right twice a day

Don't say how long
Don't say how long
How long
Don't say how long
Don't say how long
How long

I know you know how it feels
I know you know it's for reals
I know you know I know you...
so don't say it

That's what it takes to go there
On and on
You make a good case for nowhere
So that's where I've gone
Don't say how long
Don't say how long
How long
Don't say when
Don't say where
Don't say how long

Hey, Golden Boy
Don't let the darkness in to take you away
from yourself
Nobody else, there's nobody left to make you run
Somebody new, maybe it's you
Only bereft of meaning
One of these days
You're gonna wake up wondering how it
went down
Then in a daze
You're gonna make up something,
and wallow around in your room
Maybe it's soon
Or maybe it won't be for some time
I hope you'll be, thinking of me
And I hope you won't be lonely

Hang your head
But don't let your hair fall out
Just hang your hat
At somebody else's house

Game, set, and match
I'll have to give that to you
You are the man
Wait, there's a catch
Everyone sees right through you
But that was the plan all along
Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me you wanted something else
You entered the code
That made you explode
Now I hope you won't be lonely anymore

Hang your head
But don't let your hair fall out
Hang your hat
At somebody else's house

No, no, no, you're not a quitter
So, don't, don't, don't, don't you be bitter
Go, go, go where you glitter away

Hang your head
But don't let your hair fall out
Just hang your hat
At somebody else's house

Somebody else's house
Somebody else's house

I saw
I saw it
We all did
It hurt
I heard it
We all hid

You took what we all hide
We all hide from
The hooks went right inside
That's where they hung

In the park
By the playground
I won't let you down

You weighed and waited
You kept steady
You'd count, and recount it
Now you're ready

You took what we all hide
We all hide from
The hooks went right inside
Then the feeling numbs

In the park
By the playground
I won't let you down

You think you deserve it
I won't stand and observe it
From this point on
We won't allow this, brother
If we don't end this now
There'll be others

In the park
By the playground
I won't let you down
In the park
By the playground
I won't let you down

Why aren't we making the love we're in?
It could be the last time
You never want to throw that away
So, why aren't we making the love we're in?

Less heart to heart, and more brain to brain
If you're feeling tender, I'm Novocain
Lets crash the party, I'll crash the plane

Why aren't we making the love we're in?
It could be the last time
You never want to throw that away
So, why aren't we making the love we're in?

Even a beggar must have to choose.
They say you shouldn't wager more than you can lose
So, make mine a double, just hold the booze

Why aren't we making the love we're in?
It could be the last time
You never want to throw that away.
So, why aren't we making the love we're in?

In, in
Anyone can make it but we're
In, in
Some will even fake it but we're
In, in
Why don't we just make the love we're in?
Why don't we just make the love we're in?

Floating like a dream cloud above the lake
Drifting in and out of sight
Forty Miles above us

Watching the Northern Lights

In the true northern darkness
Far from the sleeping towns
We lay there in the silence
Young and free, half asleep, spellbound

We were watching the Northern Lights

In my mind after all this time
The memory is still clear
All I find I leave behind
The song is my souvenir

Watching The Northern Lights

In time we move so fast
In time away from the past
In time the pain heals at last
All in good time

In time the minutes dance
In time we trust a romance
In time we'll go live in France
All in good time

The clock has two hands
Strong to hold you tight
You can't buy another chance
To get things right

In time we learn to choose
In time we gain what we'll lose
In time we'll all sing the blues
All in good time

There is time, don't worry
Sometimes you won't care
And in time you won't hurry,
you're not going anywhere

In time we walk until
In time over the hill
In time we pay the bill
All in good time

All in good time
All in good time
All in good time

Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
Hold on, here comes another heartache
