how i tried to see him
but he was halfway gone
just a battered bird then
he used to be a strong, strong swan

Fast Friends
03:34
|

fast friends by the time of our meeting
old pals by the the time we finished eating
it's just that part of you that brings me in
a message in your glance that reads
i've got your secret safe with me
your heart, it beats a code i read
fast friends by the time of our meeting
a closeness that kinda feels like we're cheating
it's just that part of you that looks like sin
maybe that we're older now we'll know how to begin and skip the chase
a silly game that time erases
stop dead in our tracks like we're hunted
bow snaps and our pulse begins a pumping
we stick out like a flower in a bed of grass
we're hanging on that single stem for times we had that passed too fast
we never let those feelings last, no we never let those feelings last
fast friends

Stuck With Me
03:03
|

September by the bridge watching ships dock in
waiting for my friend's friend's friend's
folks walk aboard as i wave to them
we flap our hands in the wind, wind, wind
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
where's that money i spent
when my ship came and went
is it peaches aboard that ride
gliding into a sunset sigh
what am i missing on the other side
am i wasting my time, time, time
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
where's that money i spent
have you ever wanted someone but you were all by yourself
just by the bridge watching ships dock in
see those passengers on board bringing lovers to other shores
clouds open up and i get real soaked
having just missed my boat, boat, boat
a horn blows and the river sings
i watch another ship come in
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
there's only one guarantee that is that i'm stuck with me

Pistachio

"Pistachio"
envy the pistachio
cause she is so sweet inside
protected by her shell she hides
so sublime, just a fine old time in the shade
mother nature has made
sometimes she is much too closed to unfold, to unfold
she isn't crazy, she's just nuts
the fort she's been dealt, protects her from all but patient prey
just a fine old time in the shade
mother nature has made
sometimes she is much too closed to unfold, to unfold
and that's ok, i think it's alright.

It's Not You
03:00
|

when you're waiting for someone
to pick up on the other side for an answer that sits inside
oh my, oh my, that's just a waste of time
you're giving away a piece of you, you're giving away the thing that's true
baby i don't wanna go to sleep tonight, something in my heart just doesn't seem right
ooo, and it's not you
i've been warned before when i wasn't felling strong to shake and nod yes, just so i belong
takes away the thread that holds me together
like a boy in trouble i'm playing with bubbles
you're giving away a piece of you, you're giving away the thing that's true
baby i don't wanna go to sleep tonight, something in my heart just doesn't seem right
ooo, and it's not you
you're giving away a piece of you, you're giving away the thing that's true
i don't wanna go to sleep tonight, something in my heart just doesn't seem right
ooo, and it's not you
ooo, it's not you

Crossing the Street
03:27
|

walking into traffic head on
what a fool am i leaving you behind
on the opposite side of the cross
oh, i never know what i lost
unless i learn to notice the way you hold my hand
and pose so many questions i can hardly understand
oh, i hope you're thinking about me
oh, i don't want to act so mean
is this to love, what i learning of
with every fall
i see your face and hear your call
is this to love, what i learning of
with every fall
i see your face and hear your call

Cakes and Cookies
02:26
|

heard ya singing and i felt the power
near the stadium by the sea
with some friends who need me for my laughter
another partner for the summer's scene
something so temporary, out of the ordinary
embraced but feeling more alone
saw you waiting by the cakes and the cookies
and alarmed by the beating in my chest
i don't think it was the sugar rushing through my veins when we lay down to kiss
something so temporary, out of the ordinary
embraced but feeling more alone
ringing phone, a voice i haven't heard for a long, long time
my turn to speak, but how can i compete
when i can't even make up my mind if i've been bad or if i've been fine
something so temporary, out of the ordinary
embraced but feeling more alone

Head
02:49
|
|||
i know i shouldn't feel like this, i've a love at home
one who really cares for me and knows where i come from
with every feeling i resist another coin gets tossed
heads means leave and tails is stay
i think i'd better use my head today
oh, playin games with myself, and these games they don't help
things that make us feel real good are floating around us
an idea of love to conjure up
but never to discuss
baby, baby
playin games with myself, and these games they don't help, no they don't help
i'm falling into old habits
not sure where i belong
in between station and song, stuck in static
playin games with myself, and these games they don't help, no they don't help

when ya gonna step into the light
when will you peak out to view
when will you make your presence known
baby i just want to see you
will you be the flower that unfolds
will you really open up soon
will you grow strong in the sun
baby, i just want to see you
baby i just want to see you
patiently waiting little man
trying so hard to understand
look at what you've grown into
baby it's so good to meet you
baby it's so good to meet you
baby it's so good to meet you

Standing There
03:11
|

there's no apologies
or now i'm feelin scared
there's only standing there
notice in my eyes
all the times that have gone by
and the sun that is so bright
and the sun that is so bright
and the sun that is so bright blocks out tomorrow
tomorrow oh, oh.
