So Long Now

I got my head on straight / after talking to you, dear
All that cryin's late / you should've thought it out clearer
You told me the same old stories / same old stories about it
You told me the same old stories / same old sorries and bullshit
But it's too late, too far / it's too gone, so long now
But it's too late, too far / it's too gone, so long now
I got my timing right / the lessons starting to smolder
Packed my burdens light / looked back once / and started all over
You wanted to say you're sorry / but that changed nothing about it
You wanted to say you're sorry / sorry's just a cheap way around it
But it's too late, too far / it's too gone, so long now
But it's too late, too far / it's too gone, so long now
Yeah it's too late, too far / it's too gone, so long now

An Adverse Wind

An adverse wind / seeps into the hole and down again
Spilling out just like a box / of razors, sharp / and full of pins
The rain comes in / leaking through the floor and down the drain
Peaking where the sun remembers not / or how / to warm again
Now and then / those fading memories come back again
Vivid like a photo held / up to the mirror / to view and then
You begin / to question all the things that might have been
Regretting all the moments fraught / with dangers they / contain within
An adverse wind / seeps into the hole and down again
Spilling out just like a box / of razors, sharp / and full of pins
The rain comes in / leaking through the floor and down the drain
Peaking where the sun remembers not / or how / to warm again

With The Benefit of Time

It's clever, to run in separate circles / And it's better, to ignore the curtain's call
It's clever, to pretend that all the best is at hand
But it's not clever, to trust you at all / No it's not clever, to trust you at all
It’s smart, to say things in whispers / To hold this conversation further down the hall
It’s smart, to close off all the doors that you can
But it’s not smart, to trust you at all / No it’s not smart, to trust you at all.
It’s good, to think fondly of the future / And the past, to gloss over all the falls
It’s good, to look at every moment in time
But it’s not good, to trust you at all / No it’s not good, to trust you at all.
It’s safe, to protect your own interests / Gather strength, from friends when they call
It’s safe, to protect all the love that you have
But it’s not safe, to trust you at all / No it’s not safe, to trust you at all / No it’s not safe, to trust you at all

Leaving Over You
03:30

You picked me up when you were falling, falling / three steps on the way down.
Worries top-down eased by holding, holding / Slapback silences on...
I don’t think anyone’s around / see blacks and whites and pearls around
Always change the grade, to help you pass the test.
Someone’s always leaving over you......
You shot me up when you were lonely, lonely / to act up on the way down
You give that sense to all around me, ‘round me / I loved that photo you’re on....
I don’t think anyone’s around / But you still keep me out of bounds
Always change the grade, to help you pass the test.
Someone’s always leaving over you
Zip me up, I’m just a past time, past time / Breeze by on the way out
Run on back, that mirror’s fixed now, fixed now / The pieces never looked so good
I don’t think anyone’s around / You know I’d fall for you right now
Always change the grade, to make me fail the test.
Someone’s always leaving over you......leaving over you (x3) woah woah oh woah.....

Turn the lights, turn the lights down on 17th street / Find the line through the circle where the two ends meet
It’s a world all around with sound / of a buzzing hive filling the street
So turn the lights, turn the lights down on 17th street
What the truth is, it’s a watershed moment / it’s glorified lightning when the sun goes down
It’s an earwig, it’s a chance to find cover / a sound to discover when the sun goes down
Climb the world to the top of a two-lane street
Turn around, looking back, the world’s under your feet
Time to leave, time to leave, but pay attention to the heartstrings drawing you back
So return, before the end draws you out from your sleep
'Cause there’s a reason, it’s a chance to discover / a time like no other when the lights go down
It’s moving onward, it’s not the ending to the story / it’s a time to draw closer when the curtains close down
What the truth is, it’s a watershed moment / it’s glorified lightning when the sun goes down
It’s an earwig, it’s a chance to find cover / a sound to discover when the sun goes down
