What Do I Do

What do I do things have gotten weird
You’re never here
What do I do I pushed you away
When all I want is you to stay

La ti dad a da da-da

What do I do can I take it all back
I don’t think and I’ve jumped the track
What do I do oh I am beggin
Look past my head to what my heart is saying

Chorus

In the end what is really clear
The love I gave was insincere
But this isn’t

Verse 1

You’re the sunshine
In my mind
And I never never never want to let you go  

 

Sweet Bird

Broken sign in a broken window
I know just how it feels
The wind breaks just for a second
And in this I see your eyes

A loss of thought is your disease
Everyone needs to be free
People without chains on their ankles
People without words to hold them down
It's the healing wing

(Chorus):       Fly on sweet bird
                        Do as you've learned
                        Fly on sweet bird
                        Do as you've heard and be free

Just to think about her 
Can send me so far away
It's so hard to leave here sometimes
It's so hard for me to stay
It's the healing wing

Chorus

 

California

When the moon shines through your window at night
Do you sit alone and cry
Or do you fall fast asleep
Oblivious to reasons why

You don’t know who you really are
But you think you’d like to know someday
Drifting through your life it seems
Doesn’t help you anyway

Come back home to a families love
Come back home to a families love
Come back home to a families love
Melissa
Come home

When the roof over top of your head
Is made of a cardboard box
You’ve got to realize you’re going
About this wrong
 
Well I know that I miss you
And we had a lot of fun
But you had to leave us
And take to the run
 
Chorus
 
Do you like your life
Not knowing about tomorrow
Is it what you wanted
Do you like your life
Not knowing about tomorrow
Is it what you wanted
 
Chorus

 

I Know I'm Crazy

There was a time in my life
When I could smile and be free
But that time has passed away
But it has not taken me

I know I'm crazy
Baby that's me
I know I'm crazy
Baby can't you see
This is bigger than you and me

There was a line in my life
I could walk with ease
But that line I've worn away
But it is not everything

Chorus

I can't find my home
I'm out on the street
But I'm on my feet
And I know I'm not alone

Chorus

 

Ghost Town

The sun goes down in the east out here
The stars are set in unfamiliar signs
The air is thick with ghosts of condescension
Breathe it in and find I’m melting into madness

Give me a sign
Give me fire to even out this jagged edge
Get me up to change my mind
Throw another blade inside to cut me down

Sidewalk shadows stalk my steps down nameless streets
Ghostly eyes glare through a shattered stained-glass window
Heavy breezes sigh a haunting melody (ahh)
So out of place among these days so void of rhythm

Give me your mind
Give my reigns to tame this fury in my soul
Get me up to change this time
Throw another kiss inside to make me whole

Spiral down a hollow shell my own true hell this emptiness
Feel you near and through my fear I grip the dawn
Remember still that love and will are now at war
Throw you back and stumble into the storm

The people live in a glass out here
Water their lawns walk their dogs slap on plastic smiles
I rip away their twisted veil of innocence
To find a skeleton of you in every one in every one in every one…

Higher and higher away I climb
Away form you away from me away from time
Away from all those who would shame me for my crime
To give my soul to save a soul then watch it die

Give me a sign
Give me your mind
You’ve lost this time
Now you’re inside

 

Life

Here I am born in no regard for time
My friends we must learn to smile
Someday someday is not that far away
Someday someday may be today (with)

Life oh
Life Yeah
Let it in

Here I stand waiting always waiting
For you for her tomorrow the spring to wash over me
What do I think I will find there
What do I think if I think about it

Chorus

She is lovely
She is
She is fire
She is

Chorus

Oooooohh…

 

Walk into Sunshine

Welcome to my space she says with eyes like cannons
How do I always find mistakes I am prone to stray
Maybe it’s not as it seems something is something is astray
I need a light to crease these darkened days (all I want’s)

A little love tied to my tracks (yeah)
A little love waving to me
A little love given back (yeah)
A little love fate brings to me

Welcome to faith your face is facing away
It’s time that you fear oh, it’s time that I don’t care

Chorus

Wake up wake up
Wake up blind…

Chorus

One more walk into sunshine
One more white lie
One more reason for ice age
One more good night

 

The Fade

Sun don't you walk out
sun don't you walk out on me
Sun don't you walk out sun don't you walk out on me
You gotta keep on shining for free

Babe won't you listen
Babe won't you listen to me
Babe won't you listen
Babe won't you listen to me
Has your brain been eaten in your sleep

Baby baby I guess it's just the fade
Baby baby I guess it's just the fade

Car don't you quit
Car don't you quit right down on me
Car don't you quit
Car don't you quit right down on me
If I had a dog I wouldn't need you I'd already be in the country

Baby baby I guess it's just the fade
Baby baby I guess it's just the fade

Babe I ain't gonna leave you
I ain't gonna leave you alone
Babe I ain't gonna leave you
I ain't gonna leave you alone
I ain't ever growin' up and I ain't ever growin' old

Here I go now
Here I go now I can't stop
Here I go now
Said here I go now I can't stop

I may get tired but I will never drop
I may get tired but I will never drop
I may get tired but I will never drop

 

Green

Look up to yourselves
See your shadows can't hide
Everything's in your hands
When you're 300 feet high

Green green save me
Help change what needs to be
Green green I believe
You're what we need

Look out for ourselves
See your shadow can change the world
Every dream’s in your reach
When you're ready to fly

Sing sing and save me
Help change what needs to be
Sing sing I believe
You're what we need

She she can save me
Help change what I need to see
She she I believe
She's what we need

Please please save me
Help change what needs to be
Please please I believe
you're what we need


Mesmerize


Show me
I need to see
Show me
I need to see

I live for free
Under the sea
I live for free
Under the sea
I’m waiting to believe

Take the time
Mesmerize

Tell me you’re in love
Take the time
Mesmerize
Tell me you’re in love

Show me
I believe it
Show me
I believe it

Trees grow
So high
Things grow
Up thru the sky
Something’s can’t hide
 
Chorus

Spin it baby

Chorus

Show me you’re in love

 

Invisible Man

The mist surrounds me
And swims with my thoughts
You always astounded me
You always broke my heart

You know I’m happy in blue
I know you give what you ruin

Won’t you see me
Won’t you see me
The invisible man

Your smile can melt me
Like rain on a sunny fall afternoon
Incandescent candle burns the freeze
But no glow will unthaw you

You know I’m happy in blue
I know you dust what you run thru

Chorus

Distant broken words
Whispered in the darkness
From one heart to the air
And again

You know I’m happy in blue
I know you never keep what you use

Won’t you see me
Won’t you see me
Won’t you free me
Won’t you free me
Won’t you see me
Won’t you free me
Won’t you see me
Won’t you see me
The invisible man
