SH2BA (she hates to be alone)

Don't mind me love, be back in ten
Sorry to be leaving again
At a loss so tell me, what can I do
After all this world revolves around you

Well there's something bout me leaving it drives her crazy
And I try to tell myself that someday maybe
No, there's nothin that'll change this arrangement
She hates to be alone
She hates to be alone

Tuesday in July, quarter past four
Low and behold, you wait by the door
"You wouldn't believe how long that felt too
When you're gone I shake and feel so damn blue"

There's just something bout me leaving, it drives her crazy
And I try to tell myself that someday maybe
Thinkin' nothing's gonna change this equation, but I
Got to keep in mind she can't help it, baby
It's the constant company she requires lately
Yes that "when you're gone I feel you betray me"
No, there's nothing that'll change this arrangement
She hates to be alone
She hates to be alone
She hates to be alone

There's just something bout me leaving, it drives her crazy

Exit

can't slow down
nowhere to go
four wheels, a dotted line, west of chicago

clear mind
endless road
nothing but sunshine sioux falls to jackson hole

i'm tired, still i try
to tap a beat out to the sound
cant deny, in time i'm sure i'll come around
care to talk about it?
knock a peg right down
what's required to get my feet on solid ground?

been climbing, climbing
down treadmill drive
all day to run, nowhere to hide

if you think that it don't matter
what you do here with your time
better recognize beyond exit signs 'cause

i'm tired, still i try
to tap a beat out to the sound
cant deny, with time i'm sure i'll come around
care to talk about it?
knock a peg right down
what's required to get my feet on solid ground?

i'm tired, but i got to
keep my head from hanging down
cant deny, with time i know we'll come around
we can talk and talk and talk 'til we work it out
i know we're tired, but we gotta try this
one more time

i'm tired, but i got to
keep my head from hanging down
can't deny, with time i'm sure i'll come around
we can talk and talk and talk 'til we work it out
i know we're tired but we gotta try and try and try

i'm tired, but i got to
keep my head from hanging down
can't deny, with time i know i'll come around
we can talk and talk and talk 'til we work it out
 

Shoes That Float

don't point that finger at me
i'd open my mouth but you wouldn't believe
you can't understand something you refuse to see

the concept of being is trying to be

because you're damned if you do
and you're dead if you don't
you're done when you're through
but sometimes you won't

he's wearing a helmet so go for the throat
and walk on water if you've got shoes that float

hijack ideas, and don't let them breathe
burn up the pages nobody will read
it won't manifest until you yourself believe

it's like expecting growth without planting a seed

oh, you see, the truth lies hidden under your bed
give up the platform, forget what you've read
unfortunately, the last words she said,

“it's only the mystery you've made in your head.”

he's wearing a helmet so go for the throat
and walk on water if you've got shoes that float

oh, you've got shoes that float

i said he's wearing a helmet so go for the throat
and walk on water if you've got shoes that float

oh, you've got shoes that float

Great Riddance

they're here, auditing the wine vault
bottling the ocean salt
authoring the wet asphalt

once throttling a diamond
squandering the time we got
despite it all, the world never stopped

but i recall, maybe too well
you cut me off, but i couldn't tell
then i took a shot, but you forgot
until someone new bagged me up

she said, “saw you looking happy just not at me, couldn't help but respond”
"thought a bit about us, never doubted we could get it back on"

“i know this might sound crazy but i feel it's what we're destined to do” yeah
i said, "you've come too late, yes much too late
and it's the end of all i'll ever have with you"

rage (rage) conjured up from bloodshot eyes
didn't see your car go by
i couldn't feel but when did i try?

skipping to the part where i'm learning to walk again
more like crawl far away from you, my friend
thank god because it all panned out in the end

but i recall, our seventh fall
you cut me off, sure i was at fault
still we had a shot, but you cared not
until someone new came

she said, "saw you looking happy just not at me, couldn't help but respond"
“thought a bit about us, never doubted we could get it back on”

“i know this might sound crazy but i feel it's what we're destined to do” yeah
i said, "you've come too late, yes much too late
now it's the end of all i'll ever have with you"

"you're too late, too months too late
this is the last of any mind i'll pay to you"
forever bound inside the arms of someone new

Astronaut

i connect the dots, but i'm stopped by some strange paradox
i'm an astronaut, and i've got a reservation at restaurant
and i know just what i want
excuse me if i seem a little nonchalant
here's a memory while i collect all my thoughts
because i found a touch of inspiration in a chocolate box
but you know we go around in circles, ‘til there’s no response
and i would love an opportunity to take my shot

it's the time and place
i'm off in outer space
just look at your face
oh, so introspective

up above the sky
you still won't tell us why
and no one knows a damn thing to expect, no

nobody knows a thing

upper echelon, got to get them children off my lawn
up before the dawn
another lonely night because you know she's gone
and you know just why it's wrong
in spite of all this nonsense, still you don't belong
on and on
your days are full of such contagious yawns
both impressive and obsessive but it's mostly just bizarre
like a speeding car, go drift to wreckage at your local bar
‘cause that’s the source of all the poison you've been searching for

it's the time and place
i'm off in outer space
just look at your face
oh, so introspective

62 miles from ground
it's blue and green and brown
but you couldn't hear a sound
from this new perspective

up above the sky
you still won't tell us why
yes, no one knows a damn thing to expect, no

nobody knows a thing

it's the time and place (it's the time and place)
i'm off in outer space (i'm in outer space)
just look at your face
oh, so introspective

62 miles from ground (miles from ground)
it's blue and green and brown (blue and green and brown)
but you couldn't hear a sound
from this new perspective

up above the sky
and still won't tell us why
yes, no one knows
