Brown Eyes

Lay down softly as you go
Brown eyes, don't look so low
Sweet dreams, I pray them for you, I do
Time heals every kind of wound
Your soul is pure as it can be, believe
Brown eyes, set your trouble free
Father, I know you'd make him proud
Healer, keep all your loving loud
On a beach I fell for you, I knew
Dancing, a dinner made for two

Stay

Maeve, don’t you say to me
Things will change this time
Don’t you say
Stay
Rainbow afterglow
Coming down
Time away
They say it makes us finer
But I feel fine when we’re alone
Don’t you say
Stay
But I want you, I want you
To stay
Stay

When She Comes
03:38

I play drums on pots and pans
And eat my lunch with dirty hands
My coffee is as black as my blue jeans
She wears out my old Harley shirt
But damn it looks good with that skirt
The way she pulls it up when I walk by
I swear to God I’ll never leave
but God I swear she’s so naive
Maybe she’s the type that won’t let go
Well I can sing a thousand songs
But then I might just sing ‘em wrong
Baby here’s another one for you
Skip the bar with me
Lets get some cheap beer and go down to the beach
I’ve got a joint in my pocket if you can reach
We can talk about the places we won’t go
And the things about each other we don’t know
She plays her favorite indie band
And I pretend to understand
The reason why she thinks that they’re so cool
But I don’t really mind it much
It’s better though to feel her touch
The way she tenses up when he sings
Skip the bar with me
Lets get some cheap beer and go down to the beach
I’ve got a joint in my pocket if you can reach
We can talk about the places we won’t go
And the things about each other we don’t know
God I hope I played it right
But she ain’t even here tonight
At least I’ll sing it better when she comes

Slow Motion

Mama's on the phone telling me I'm on my own
In the following months on the hunt to own
A love that I can call up when I'm worn out
Strung out broke down head in the radio
Black flower letters super jazzed but getting better
Wonder if I'm ever gonna measure up and brave the weather
Road noise with the photo head bedspread
Maybe misread this thermonuclear warhead
On my death bed oh the bloodshed I'm a thick headed mother ** now I'm seeing red
The world is falling all around me
And in slow motion is everything that I see
Edit the program in my own downs
I'm frowning, can't seem to let her go
Now I'm going downtown again she's out of bounds but I'm putting in work quick smirk, I know I'm worth it, birth it, I ain't leaving this
I'd sell all of my guitars, quit the bar, do my best, I'm a man, this a test
I'm in love, I'm undressed, cardiac arrest in my bullet proof vest
In my Sunday best, Wild West, feeling like an unwelcome guest
but I’m blessed
did I follow your request to give you space just in case your master race felt out of place? Third base, poker face, retrace, I’m a disgrace, erase, return learn to concern my own burns
The world is falling all around me
And in slow motion is everything that I see
And I fall in slow motion
The ocean takes me home
It’ll all work out, be sound, I’m around, keep your eyes on me
I know that you feel like you’re drowning but please keep your eyes on me
Don’t you know that you can walk on water that you’re sinking in, keep your eyes on me
It’ll all work out, it’ll all work out
The world is falling all around me
And in slow motion is everything that I see

Going Nowhere
04:56

There’s nobody to tell you how to choose your love
You just pick somebody and run
Dreams are made to set fire with wiry haste
You notice
All these people going nowhere fast
Take your time but don’t let it pass
I say, I, I say a lot of things that ring true when I bring myself to the edge of it
I’ve learned some lessons
Im old, no, I’m young but I feel like I’m strung up on the days that betray my display of vision, driven rhythm, fiction
all that I see is
All these people going nowhere fast
Take your time but don’t let it pass
Shining truth
A mind over matter
To choose
All these people going nowhere fast
Take your time but don’t let it pass
All these people going nowhere fast
Take your time but don’t let it pass

I saw you in the mirror
We were just passers by
It sends a shiver down my spine
Eats from the inside out
The silence is getting faster
Feels the bathroom mirror
Where was I when I wanted it?
Too busy, too busy to
‘Cause I feel like it’s coming back
And I feel it’s coming back to this
Now when I come home
I want to feel like I’m just trying
I’m just crying
I’m just trying
(should I take a film pic of this? Sure. Should I take a couple?)
Shared dreams on beach water sound
(I’m so glad I didn’t bring the dry suit)
Where are the aliens now?
(Oh yeah it’s so stressful)
Some premonition you found
I was with you when you drowned
(I was with you when you drowned)
‘Cause I feel like it’s coming back
And I feel like it’s coming back to this
Now when I come home
I want to feel like I’m just trying
I’m just crying
I’m just trying
I’m just trying

I became everything I wanted to
Becoming
All I’m asking for is a break in the delusion
I find that when I sleep, that’s when I am most lucid
I can’t take these dreams of green eyes needing me
spark of lighting to my being won’t take my mind from where you sleep
I became an ocean
Then I became everything
Carried by the riptide with my eyes on the shoreline
And turning from a storm to stream
I thought that I could make you dream
But when I felt you let go baby
Calypso I stayed
Why’d you clear up that haze?
Just to leave that day, only to leave me changed
Never could face how you loved in vain
Tear drops fall like summer rain
A color day dream drifting down stream
At last this scene of love has passed
Some distant memory, how big and brave were we
So close were you and me but far from what I see
Chorus:
I became an ocean
Then I became everything
Carried by the riptide with my eyes on the shoreline
And turning from a storm to stream
I thought that I could make you dream
But when I felt let go baby
Calypso I stayed
