Run
03:04
|

I'll let love run
run like the wind
like a smooth honey flood
like a dream of the spring
if you want me to
if you want me to
I will
I'll let love in
into my shoes, under my skin
I'll let love win
give up my trophies and my taste for sin
if you want me to
baby, if you want me to
if you're sure that you want me, too
if you want me to
I will

Sandman
04:03
|

let's fly away
take a trip to some place
high above the sky
oh, sweet unseen
invisible mysteries
I'll never know
sleepless one, don't close your eyes
the sandman won't be coming tonight
let's fly away
take a trip to some place
I, I'm right behind you
oh, sweet unseen
invisible mysteries
I drown in you
sleepless one, don't close your eyes
the sandman won't be coming tonight

Phantom Limb
04:09
|

phantom limb
abandoned skin
oh, what a lovely mess we're in
the aftermath
broken hourglass
fragile things that I used to hold
though handling with care
things I was aware of
bearing the name of love
our promises and plans
still drifted into sand dunes
blown away by typhoons
phantom limb, abandoned skin
oh, what a lovely mess we're in
the aftermath
broken hourglass
fragile things that I used to hold
though seeking, I don't find
a way to leave behind me
all that reminds me
memory returns
and nothing has been learned yet
nothing but regret
holy ghost
haunting me
keep me safe
set me free
phantom limb, abandoned skin
oh, what a lovely mess we're in

Same Old Place
03:28
|
|||
who I am is tied to this little town
the streets, the beaches, the seagull sounds
I couldn't wait to get away
but I guess I'll go back someday
and if you come along, I can show you around
there's the old pine tree in our front yard
when we moved in, it was only this tall
it's the place where I can't stay
with the piano I don't play
it's where I keep the good things that I've lost
I can see it
the same old place I know
in the distance
on the fault lines of my soul
there's the southern strand where we spent the night
the sand was warm and the moon was bright
living that teenage dream
black water skinny dipping
I couldn't sleep, so he held me tight
and there's the empty house where he painted me
my high school hairstyle in yellow and green
and someday, they'll tear it down
making way for a bigger town
and my face will be a memory
I can see it
the same old place I know
in the distance
on the fault lines of my soul
I can see it
the same old place I know
in the distance
the changing face of home

Two Strangers
03:40
|

you can be my piano
I'll be the tambourine
you be the kettle, I'll be the pot
I don't mind if you have to scream
you can be salty
you can be sweet
lovely and wonderful, nasty and mean
honey, you can be just about whatever you like
as long as you be it with me
and we can stay up late
I don't mind
I've got my eyes on the prize
I've got my own reasons and
I don't need much to get by
when the morning comes
I'll be gone
you'll be singing that same old song
we're just two strangers
dancing tango in the night
you want to look like an angel
so I can wear the devil suit
if you're gunning for the free fall
I'll turn into a parachute
call it oppression
call it a fad
I call it the best that I've ever had
take off your shoes, honey
turn off your phone
it's time that we were alone
and we can stay up late
I don't mind
I've got my eyes on the prize
I've got my own reasons and
I don't need much to get by
when the morning comes
I'll be gone
you'll be singing that same old song
we're just two strangers
dancing tango in the night
in the chilly weather
I can burn away the cold
if you're coming untethered
I'll give you my body to hold
you be the coffee
I'll be the cream
life is a drag but tonight is a dream
stay till you're done, honey
do as you please
I like you best when you're free
and we can stay up late
I don't mind
I've got my eyes on the prize
I've got my own reasons and
I don't need much to get by
when the morning comes
I'll be gone
you'll be singing that same old song
we're just two strangers
dancing tango in the night

Back To You
04:32
|
|||
pulled up on my bootstraps
cause I'm leaving today
I ain't quite out the woods yet
I'm just about halfway
I tried to love you baby
in all of your misery
I know you need a good woman
but she just ain't me
is that so hard to see?
I got dust on my eyeballs
got a rattle in my bones
rainclouds keep coming, coming
I've never been so alone
and I'm leaving you baby
there ain't no more to say
I ain't quite out the woods yet
I'm just about halfway, halfway, halfway,
halfway, yeah
sweet fortune, come my way
but I would still
turn around
if I were coming
back to you
yes, I would still
turn around
if I were coming
back to you
going down to that water
with my tears and my shame
gonna wash off my troubles
I'm gonna wash off my name
my name, my name
you've got nobody left to blame
but I would still
turn around
if I were coming
back to you
yes, I would still
I would still turn around
if I were coming
back to you

Available Position
04:32

this modern romance
feels like old news
everybody wants something, baby
no one wants to choose
well, I'm tired
of singing the blues
no, living ain't easy
but you know that I've tried
to keep my smile on
even when I want to die
I might be broken
but I'm down to ride
no, I don't need a love that will be faithful
I just want a love that feels good
apply within
show me you're ready
I've got an available position for you
I don't need your money, honey
you know I get mine
I just want your body
and a bit of your time
well, if that's all right, babe
put your signature on the line
I'll tell you I'm selfish
but honey, I'm brave
you give me a fire, babe
watch me jump in those flame
yes, I can love you
right into your grave
no, I don't need a love that will be faithful
I just want a love that feels good
apply within
set up an interview
I've got an available position for you
now you're calling me crazy
and I guess that it's true
but I'd rather be crazy
than dead inside like you
so watch me crazy
yeah, it's just what I do
no, I don't need a love that will be faithful
I just want a love that feels good
apply within, baby
won't you give me a clue?
I've got an available position for you

Fly
04:38
|
|||
I woke up to an open door
sun in my hair, clothes on the floor
with visions of the night before
I update the names, the dates, the score
everybody's bound to crash and burn
everybody's bound to live and learn
fly fly baby
fly easy
fly fly baby
fly away
I loved you more than you know
about as wild as the wind blows
still, I'm not surprised you had to go
I knew exactly what I chose
you'll be learning as long as you live
you're only gonna get what you give
fly fly baby
fly easy
fly fly baby
fly away
