Wherever Time Takes Us

Talk you off your ledge
Back to salvation
Everyone stays home
But you gotta go on a vacation
Je ne parle pas français
I wanted to go to Mexico anyway
You can can always choose
How long you're gonna stay
A thousand miles, you close your eyes
Everyone just wants to be wise
Look back way before
This happened even more
A thousand days, as many nights
Everyone just wants to be remembered right
If you could see yourself young
You'd see how far you've come
This is where we are but this ain't how it ought to be
Wherever time takes us we'll have to see
This is where we are but this ain't how it ought to be
Wherever time takes us I guess we'll just have to keep pushing to be free
Talk you out of your head
Back to reality
Everyone else makes friends
But you're cynical of that mentality
Je ne comprends pas
I'm just telling you what I saw
We can can always move
If you're feeling that raw
A hundred thousand trains of thought
Some trains just won't be caught
Looking on down the line
Looks like we're gonna be fine
A thousand billion ways of life
None of them seem to be just quite right
Keeping all this in mind
I think we're doing all right
This is where we are but this ain't how it ought to be
Wherever time takes us we'll have to see
This is where we are but this ain't how it ought to be
Wherever time takes us I guess we'll just have to keep pushing to be free

Don’t Look Now
03:05

There's a black shadow
That covers my life
It covers you too
Don't feel alone
We're here with you
It all works out
And all I see is all the love in the entire world
And all I see is all the love in the entire world
And when the dreams come true
There's no god for you
There's no one up the in the clouds
Just a nice rain washing down
Don't look now
It's just a belief
How can a belief be so unappealing
It's just the same as asking a person his or her name
Mmm can't you see now where we are
Mmm can't you see now where we are
And all I see is all the love in the entire world
And all I see is all the love in the entire world
It all works out

Bad Timing
03:31
|

|
Go, go to be gone
And the last one who knows
Is a little shaken
Yes, always when you go
In the surface of your eyes
The leaves blow in the wind
And the sound echoes for miles
A life of sin
Send me off in the night
To be alone
Send him off with a fight
The laws of a lonely soul
Send me off in the night
To be alone
Send him off with a fight
The laws of a lonely soul
When the leaves go
The light won't show
The night is away
But you know it will come through the ground
In the surface of your eyes
The leaves blow in the wind
And the sound echoes for miles
The Earth still spins
Send me off in the night
To be alone
Send him off with a fight
The laws of a lonely soul

There It Goes
03:32

Woke up this morning
An ascending song
Traveling through the window
Who knows for how long
The purple skies we take in stride
And the songs of the birds that we heard outside
There it goes
Let it all drift by
And ask yourself
If you ever really know
Here it comes again
There's no stopping it
Or saying if it's coming back again
The life beneath us
From where we land
Will live without us
We understand
The single chord sings to the sky
The song of the train as it passes by
There it goes
Let it all drift by
And ask yourself
If you ever really know
Here it comes again
There's no stopping it
Or saying if it's coming back again
The purple skies we take in stride
And the songs of the birds that we heard outside
There it goes
Let it all drift by
And ask yourself
If you ever really know
Here it comes again
There's no stopping it
Or saying if it's coming back again

Other Ideas Go On
03:37

Where the beach is
I wander to
I breath in
I notice you breath in too
Out of no where
Comes a beetle
And then two birds appear
Oh yes I hope you do
What you wanna do
No but it's not exactly
What you said
When you said that you know
That other ideas go on
I want to be there
And never want to come down
I say this with only love
Where did you go
Where'd you go
When you left me
Like an abandoned child
Never mind it all
When you learned it on the phone
Turn around
So I can hear you
I want to stay here
And never want to come down
I say this with only love

Let It Ring
03:15
|
|||
|
Calling your laughter
To the waves
End of spring
Never ending
Yesterday
Years passing
Oh where have they gone
What if it turned
After a while
Back around
I'd rather believe
Crossing the bridge
To feel the same breeze
Let it ring
Never ending
Yesterday
Years passing
Oh what if they're gone
What if it turned
After a while
Back around
I'd rather believe

Song Bird
03:24

Every time when I'm out
Every time when I see you
I don't even pretend to ignore you anymore no no no
I don't even pretend to see you
Maybe the time has run out for me
And maybe it's up for you
Do you no longer believe anymore
I got a bird that whistles
I got a bird that sings
If I ain't got my baby
Well at least my bird can sing
Oh and the whole time it was just sitting right there in front of me
Oh and the whole time it was just sitting right there in front of me
Oh and we knew it wouldn't come back
No but we didn't really know where it would go
And we didn't know how far it had come
Oh is this what it's like when you can't find your own home
Is this what it's like when you don't know where you're supposed to go
Is this what it's like
Oh well I should know
I should know but I don't
I don't feel like I know nothing
I don't know nothing right now
I got a bird that whistles
I got a bird that sings
If I ain't got my baby
Well at least my bird can sing

Watch the Day
03:58
|

|
Always something going wrong
It never does last long
The sea has taken hold of me
Another thought has you today
Watch the day
And how it sounds
How'd you get to where you
Were when you were all alone
What's your name and how does it go
Hope you're careful when you're alone
Anyone can
Believe me when I'm right
There's no turning back now
There's certainly nothing that you could do
But when the time comes
I know that you'd love
To watch the day
And how it sounds
How'd you get to where you
Were when you were all alone
What's your name and how does it go
Hope you're careful when you're alone
Always someone turning 'round
Into the black sound
The trees have taken hold of me
Another thought has you today
Watch the day
And how it sounds
How'd you get to where you
Were when you were all alone
What's your name and how does it go
Hope you're careful when you're alone

Tracks

All of the land is passing by
In rows
Lonely once again
For now
Drawn from up above
Two hands tied
Behind my back
Behind my back
You have the place all to yourself
This time
Outside's tinted blue
For now
Drawn from up above
Two hands tied
Behind my back
Behind my back
Oh once you're gone you know
That you never could believe what you have to know
Lessons to learn and knowing when to
Lay low
Feeling love again
For now
Drawn from up above
Two hands tied
Behind my back
Behind my back
Two hands tied

Here We Are
03:06

Weather easy
Reach out and touch me
Hold me until there's always nothing to hold
This is a life
Remain so careful
Diligently overturn
Unearth and resume
Try with vision off
A light
Takes me down now
Motions of the world
Take flight
Where's your life
World
Here we are
All of us not being saved
And just for you
A rose is sent
But by the time that it arrived
It was already far too late
When you ask me that
You know what I'll say
When you look at me that way
Till the next time
World
Here we are
All of us not being saved
And just for you

Disillusion
03:28
|
|||
|
Tell me about the time when you were
The space above the sea
And above
Between your love
Oh I could never have
And I won't have again
There came the reason
Oh when it comes
When it comes
What it was
Lights low
About when you dream
About when you dream at all
And up and down
Oh when you're lost
It's all
It's all about
Disillusion
Disillusion
But there's a rock to rely on
When you told me
Let's go right now
Oh but there's a reason to wait
I fell and it was it was alright
To where there's no disillusion
Disillusion

Inside you
There's something gone
A darkness has
Come over
There's no way
From outside
To save you
I love you still the same
I love you still the same
I know I can't be with you today
I won't be around much these days
There's a darkness inside you
That no one else could take away
I love you still the same
I love you still the same
There's a light that shines
And it's calling from all sides
Last time I saw you
You looked so thin
I thought you might slip away
I love you still the same
I love you still the same
When the light comes
I'll still remain
You can find me when no one can
And when the darkness falls
You'll know where I am
Would you reach out and say hello
I love you still the same
I love you still the same
Wherever you go
Remember all the love
Whatever you decide
Remember all the love inside
I love you still the same
I love you still the same
There's enough at stake
Each and every day
We keep holding on tight
There's a look in your eyes
And it scares me every time
You'll be all right
I love you still the same
I love you still the same
