Heavier Things
Bigger Than My Body
- This is a call to the colorblind
- This is an IOU
- I'm Stranded behind the horizon line
- Tied up in something true
-
- Yes, I'm grounded
- Got my wings clipped
- I'm surrounded by
- All this pavement
-
- Guess I'll circle
- While I'm waiting
- For my fuse to dry
-
- Someday I'll fly
- Someday I'll soar
- Someday I'll be so damn much more
- Cause I'm bigger than my body
- Gives me credit for
-
- Why is it not my time?
- What is there more to learn?
- I've shed this skin I've been tripping in
- And I've never quite returned
-
- Yes, I'm grounded
- Got my wings clipped
- I'm surrounded by
- All this pavement
- Guess I'll circle
- While I'm waiting
- For my fuse to dry
-
- Someday I'll fly
- Someday I'll soar
- Someday I'll be so damn much more
- Cause I'm bigger than my body
- Gives me credit for
- Cause I'm bigger than my body now
-
- Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines
- And it might be over in a second's time
- But I'll gladly go down in a flame
- If a flame's what it takes
- To remember my name
- To remember my name, oh
-
- Yes, I'm grounded
- Got my wings clipped
- I'm surrounded by
- All this pavement
- Guess I'll circle
- While I'm waiting
- For my fuse to dry
-
- Someday I'll fly
- Someday I'll soar
- Someday I'll be so damn much more
- Cause I'm bigger than my body
- Cause I'm bigger than my body
- Bigger than my body
- Bigger than my body now
Something's Missing
- I'm not alone
-
- I wish I was
- Cause then I'd know I was down because
- I couldn't find a friend around
- To love me like they do right now
- They do right now
-
- I'm dizzy from the shopping mall
- I searched for joy, but bought it all
- It doesnt help the hunger pain
-
- And the thirst I'd have to drown first
- ever satiate
-
- Something's missing
- And I don't know how to fix it
- Something's missing
- And I don't know what it is
- At all
-
- When autumn comes
-
- It doesn't ask
- It just walks in where it left you last
- You never know when it starts
-
- Until there's fog inside the glass around
- your summer heart
-
- Something's missing
- And I don't know how to fix it
- Something's missing
-
- And I don't know what it is
- At all
-
- I can't be sure that this state of mind
- Is not of my own design
- I Wish there was an over-the-counter test
- For loneliness like this
-
- Something's missing
-
- And I don't know how to fix it
- Something's missing
- And I don't know what it is
- No I don't know what it is
-

New Deep
- I'm so alive
- I'm so enlightened
- I can barely survive
- A night in my mind
- I've got a plan
- I'm gonna find out just how boring I am
- And have a good time
-
- Cause ever since I've tried
- Trying not to find
- Every little meaning in my life
- It's been fine
- I've been cool
- With my new golden rule
-
- Numb is the new deep
- Down with the old me
-
- Talk is the same cheap it's been
-
- Is there a God?
- Why is he waiting
- Don't you think it's odd
- When he knows my address
- And look at the stars
- Don't it remind you just how feeble we are?
- Well it used to, I guess
-
-
Cause ever since I tried
- Trying not to find
- Every little meaning in my life
- It's been fine
- I've been cool
- With my new golden rule
-
-
Numb is the new deep
- Down with the old me
-
- And Talk is the same cheap it's been
-
- I'm a new man
- I wear a new cologne and
- you wouldn't know me
- If your eyes were closed
- I know what you'll say
- 'This won't last longer than the rest of the day'
- But you're wrong this time
-
- Numb is the new deep
- Down with the old me
- I'm over the analyzing
- Tonight
-
-
Stop trying to figure it out
- Deep will only bring you down
- You know I used to be the back porch poet with a book of rhymes
- Always open knowing all the time I'm probably
-
- Never gonna find the perfect rhyme
- For 'heavier things'
Come Back To Bed
- Still is the life
- Of your room when you're not inside
- And all of your things
-
- Tell the sweetest storyline
- Your tears on these sheets
- And your footprints are down the hall
- Tell me what I did
- I can't find where the moment went wrong at all
-
- You can be mad in the morning
- I'll take back what I said
- Just don't leave me alone here
- It's cold, baby
-
-
Come back to bed
-
-
What will this fix?
- You know you're not a quick forgive
- And I won't sleep through this
- I survive on the breath you are finished with
-
- You can be mad in the morning
-
- I'll take back what I said
- Just don't leave me alone here
-
-
It's cold, baby
-
-
Come back to bed
-
-
You can be mad in the morning
- Or the afternoon instead
- But don't leave me
-
- 98 and 6 degres of separation from you, baby
- Come back to bed
-
- Don't hold your love over my head
Home Life
- I think I'm gonna stay home
- Have myself a homelife
- Sittin' in the slow-mo
- And listening to the daylight
- I am not a nomad
- I am not a rocket man
- I was born a housecat
- By the slight of my mother's hand
-
-
I think I'm gonna stay home
-
-
I want to live in the center of a circle
- I want to live on the side of a square
- I used to be in my M-Z now
- You'll never find it cause my name isn't there
-
-
Home life
-
- Been holding out for they homelife
- My whole life
-
-
I wanna see the end game
- I wanna learn a last name
- Finish on a Friday
- And sit in traffic on the highway
-
-
See, I refuse to believe
- That my life's gonna be
- Just some string of incompletes
-
- Never to lead me to anything remotely close to my home life
-
-
Been holding out for my home life
- My whole life
-
-
And I can tell you this much
- I will marry just once
- And if it doesn't work out
- Give her half of my stuff
- It's fine with me
-
- We said eternity
- I will go to my grave
- With the life that I gave
- Not just a melody line
- On the radio wave
- It dissipates
- And soon evaporates
- But home life doesn't change
-
-
I want to live in the center of a circle
-
- I want to live on the side of a square
- I'd love to walk where we both can talk
- But I've got to leave you cause my ride is here
-
-
Homelife
-
- You keep the home life
- You can take the home life
- I'll come back for the home life
- I promise
Split Screen Sadness
- And I don't know where you went when you left me but
- Says here in the water you must be gone by now
- I can tell somehow
- One hand on the trigger of the telephone
- Wondering when the call comes
-
- When you say its alright
- You got your heart right
-
-
Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and
- Wait on the porch 'til you come back home
- On, right
- I can't find a flight
-
-
We share the sadness
- Split screen sadness
-
-
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
-
-
All you need is love is a lie cause
- We had love but we still said goodbye
- Now we're tired, battered fighters
-
-
And it stings when it's nobody's fault
- Cause there's nothing to blame at the drop of your name
- It's only the air you took and the breath you left
-
-
Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and
- Wait on the porch 'til you come back home
- On, right
- I can't find a flight
- So I'll check the weather wherever you are
- Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
- It might be my only right
-
-
We share the sadness
-
- Split screen sadness
-
-
I called
- Because
- I just
- Need to feel you on the line
- Don't hang up this time
- And I know it was me who called it over but
- I still wish you'de fought me 'til your dying day
- Don't let me get away
-
-
Cause I can't wait to figure out what's wrong with me
- So I can say this is the way that I used to be
- There's no substitute for time
- Or for the sadness
- Split screen sadness
- We share the sadness
Daughters
- I know a girl.
- She puts the color inside of my world.
- She's just like a maze,
- Where all of the walls all continually change.
-
-
And I've done all I can
- To stand on the steps with my heart in my hands
- But I'm starting to see
- Maybe it's got nothing to do with me.
-
- Fathers be good to your daughters
- Daughters will love like you do, yeah.
- Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
- So mothers be good to your daughters too
-
-
Oh, you see that skin?
- It's the same she's been standing in
- Since the day she saw him walking away
- Now she's left
- Cleaning up the mess he made
-
- Fathers be good to your daughters
- Daughters will love like you do
- Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
- So mothers be good to your daughters too
-
-
Boys, you can break,
- You'll find out how much they can take
- Boys will be strong
- And boys soldier on
- But boys would be gone without warmth from
- A woman's good, good heart
-
-
On behalf of every man
- Looking out for every girl
- You are the god, and the weight of her world.
-
-
So fathers be good to your daughters,
- Daughters will love like you do
- Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
- So mothers, be good to your daughters, too.
Only Heart
- Do not waste this evening
- Baby im begging you
- Your big imagination's playing its tricks on you
- If you think my up and leaving's is something I'm
-
- Gonna do
- Feel my chest when I look at you
- Baby you
-
-
You got my only heart
- Yah, you got my only heart
- Yah, you got my only
- Only heart
-
-
It's so hard to be so far out
- Living our seperate lives
- Your phone was really broken

-
-
Its alright if you want me to
- Tell you you
-
- You got my only heart
- Yah, you got my only heart

- I swear I never will
-
-
Remember now you
- You've got my only heart

Wheel
- People have the right to fly
-
- And when it gets compromised
- Their hearts say 'move along'
- Their minds say 'gotcha heart'
- 'Lets move it along'
-
- And airports see it all the time
- With someone's last goodbye
- Blends in with someone's sigh
- Cause someone's coming home
-
- In hand a single rose
-
- And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
- That's the way this wheel keeps working now
- And I won't be the last
- No I won't be the last
- To love her
-
- You can't build a house of leaves
- And live like it's an evergreen
-
- It's just a season thing
- It's just this thing that seasons do
-
- And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
- That's the way this wheel keeps working now
- And you won't be the first
- No you won't be the first
- To love me
-
-
You can find me
-
- If you ever want again
- I'll be around the bend
- I'll be around the bend
- I'll be around
-
- And if you ever stop when you wave goodbye
- You just might find if you gave it time you will wave hello again
- You just might wave hello again
-
-
And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
-
- That's the way this wheel keeps working now
-
-
You can't love too much one part of it
- You can't love too much one part of it
-
-
I believe that my life's gonna see
- The love I give returned to me
