i'll be awakened

Every chance I have is blown away like the morning paper in the wind.
The way I speak can turn you away. Somehow I don't know how to change.
Someday I'll be awakened.

Wake up to the morning light. Reveal the mess that I gave to myself.
Can't you see? Don't tell me lies.
In the holy dream you were by my side.
Someday I'll be awakened.

reminiscence

I don't know what goes to show.
The summer always comes and goes, never long enough to hold.
Standing in an evening breeze.
Thoughts of you, they come and go.

Were you there? Reminiscence. Who cares about the distance? Were you there? Reminiscence.
Were you there? Were you there?

As the days go passing by, I lay in bed and I wonder why; drifting deep into the night.
All the weeks–so good to me–they've gone away and I don't know why; drifting deep into the night.

Were you there? Reminiscence. Who cares about the distance? Were you there? Reminiscence.
Were you there? Were you there?

i wanted you to play in my band ep

driver

I spent the whole night waiting for the new day's sun.
Yeah, my mind's all messed up anyway.
Looking for the one.
(I hate that you make me nervous.)

Wait! If you wanna find out...
(Did I let you down?)
Say, if you wanna find out...
(Don't sit around)

Watched the daily parade from the steps by the colonnade.
Saw you pass by me in a daze as the desperate ones just lose their way.

Wait! If you wanna find out...
(Did I let you down?)
Say, if you wanna find out...
(Don't sit around)

i wish i were

The TV's on. The magic's gone. The ghost outside my window? She left at dawn. The waiting starts. Throw it in the fire. Much of my life spent sitting at a traffic light.

I'm trying to get better but it's just so hard.
Oh, I wish I were (...)
And now everything's changed, but I'm still right here.

Someone you know has just left town. I'm waiting for you to come around.

I'm watching the golden sun go down.
Oh, I wish I were (...)
And now everything's changed, but I'm still right here.

streets

Take me down to the streets all lined with people! I think I need it all the time.
I kept away and I'm wondering how I lost you: fallen over and gone again.

It hurts to say, but I'm out of it. I reached my hand into outer space.
I'm hiding myself from what's alright. The promise I awaited, oh.

half-light

I thought you were searching to rearrange your broken mind.
Drift into space, glowing in the half-light.
I hope that you're watching from the window far above.
I hope I never burn all my bridges down again.

Feel it wearing off and then I go to pieces again.
I'll see you there, oh.

I wish that the words I say could somehow make it true.
I drifted away, going back in perfect tune.

farewell skylines ep

college radio static

Whatever I could be, I hope I get it all. I'm fading the finest print waiting for the call. Don't wanna bring you down, so I'll be happy for you. Travelin' from town to town, it's something that I've gotta do.

I feel the walls are closing in, but I enjoy taking life by the hand.
You heard me through the college radio static in some words you couldn't understand.
Just hold my hand and understand.

Social climbers falling down the steps leading to where we meet. I fear the things that I've fallen out of just could be a repeat. I've seen the signs up in the trees so I tell myself to pretend, "It's all good, man! It's okay!" as the trees start to bend in the wind.

Everybody's going different places. I find I measure life by the week.
I heard it in the college radio static cutting through the LA heat.
Just hold my hand and understand.

alright

The silence opened outwards, alright. The reconstruction of another time. The kid walks out of the closing bar, waits outside and takes a breath of the cooling air, raining down.

If I should stay up late this time...
(Don't you think I could see it all?)
The radio towers extend to the sky.
(Hold it all back inside. As you sing the words, you could only cry.)

I think you should know it all by now. I dream of love, could you show me how?
If you should stay up late this time...
(Don't you think I could see it all?)
Mourning sun in an amber sky.
(Hold it all back inside. As you sing the words, you could only cry.)
