Let Love Wait
04:24

High tide, but you can’t see eye to eye.
It’s a long way down when you’re spinning me around
And if the sun shines will you come to me?
Pardon my intrusion, when you’re just a mystery.
Maybe if I just control the time
Spin myself between love and hate
Maybe she was never meant to find
Maybe if I just let love wait
If she’s near me I can’t tell
Until she just takes me by the hand
But I can’t see now all too well
Dreams are all I have again.
Tattoo my lips to your iridescent kiss.
Strike the match now surrender to your bliss.
And if the sun shines will you come to me?
Pardon my intrusion, when you’re just a mystery.
Let love wait, save it for a gilded day
If I let love wait, would you be inclined to stay?
Let love wait, just let love wait,
save it for another day, just let love wait
Let love wait, just let love wait

God Knows

Pater, Fili, Spiritu Santi
I watched you to find you, called you out before we ever began
An answer, a rescue, a mystic love like an opening plan
That broke myself to find you, now here you are with a dagger in hand
I trusted your answer above my own complete design
I let go and floated with no regard for letting go of the line
Then all at once I faulted, and all at once you were nowhere to find.
Where did you go?
God knows I tried, we could live another time,
God knows its plain as the scar on my face.
God knows it’s gone, just the will to be alone.
God knows I tried, God knows I tried
I busted the reasons, each one makes no sense at all.
No timing, no feeling, no sense to spare my pain control.
I fell down my own well, and then you poisoned the watering hole.
Where did you go?

Think of me in a white suit in a blue car
In a fancy place with a fancy name
That makes you wish you had a better life.
Think of me in a jet plane in a fancy chair
Journey bound to a place
Where the privileged talk with a plum in their mouth.
Think of me swimming with dolphins
And other fish that don’t want to eat you
in a crystal-clear ocean.
Think of me laying in a field of azure
Next to a girl in a darling dress
who apparently finds you interesting.
Let me die with a smile on my face.
Lai, lai, lai, sounds so right,
lai, lai, lai, one last time,
Lai, lai, lai, if you don’t mind,
just let me, just let me!
Think of me saintly, performing miracles in the name of God,
Clumsy me! I dropped my pen again.
Think of me demure, smartly dressed in night attire.
Everybody needs a naughty dress to a saintly name.
Let me die with a smile on my face.

What I Said
04:12
|

I’m caught in the middle of us now.
I’m looking at an emptiness.
You’re deep within and I’m without.
Your heart is an empty space.
Seems like I’m stuck here by design.
Feels like we’re a world away.
Days end and there’s no buying the time.
Can’t you find a word to say
What I said, what I said.
What I said is
“you’re the only one
that ever really mattered.”
When You said,
“You don’t know how it feels
when I hear you talk that way.”
Let’s meet in a place that won’t divide.
Somewhere from the rise and fall.
Come on, I’ll race you to the finish line.
Let’s see if we care at all
What I said, what I said.

Fade

Are you waiting for an invitation or an exit sign
the enemy of all we really want seems to be compromise
I can’t tell you how it ends
(But I won’t stop asking why)
we’re embracing the buried secrets
And they sustain the fight
Takin a dive into madness
Lookin for the boat on the shore
There’ll always be one more bullet
Even if you don’t need it anymore
Pining away for yesterday
How swiftly we forget
Bygone choices, present pain
Full of regrets
Highway won’t stop moving
Wish the wheels would slow
Maybe that just means
It’s time to go
When love comes to find you
The fire too soon burns out
You’re fueling passion you can’t sustain
Nostalgia creeps up
Yesterday consumes you
Grasping for meaning when everything fades
Plunging headlong into madness
Wishing for the waves on the beach
Sinking into rose coloured glasses
Slipping into deep blue reach
Are you waiting for an invitation or an exit sign
the enemy of all we really want seems to be compromise
I can’t tell you how it ends
(But I won’t stop asking why)
we’re embracing the buried secrets
And they sustain the fight
Takin a dive into madness
Lookin for the boat on the shore
There’ll always be one more bullet
Even if you don’t need it anymore

Hold Fast
03:35

If there was ever a reason, if one was needed at all
I’m standing positioned between the ground and the fall
The sound is leavin’ from uneven days
The wake of trouble slippin’ further away
Whatever chases you down
I’m in between you,
I’m in between you,
I’m in between you.
White sails on the sunset, white lines on the sea,
Hold fast my horizon, come on now to me
