Flying Blind

Kim, can you save me
From the monster underneath my bed
I can't fall asleep, can't get out of my head
Not tonight
Kim, are you listenin'
Can you hear me when I shout out loud
I'm walking the streets with my head in the clouds
Every day
Well I don't know if you were listening
Or if there's a fever in my mind
I get the feeling now
That I've been flying blind
And I might be chasing what you left behind
Well
Well you left me
Well you left me strung out on a line
With seasons of hope parading through my mind
All the time
Tied
Up and lonely
Like a ship in the night I'm the only
I'm sailing away and I wanted you with me for the ride
Well I don't know if you were listening
Or if there's a fever in my mind
I get the feeling now
That I've been flying blind
And I might be chasing what you left behind
Well I don't need no complications
Or explanations
Anymore
For all my trials and tribulations
You kept me waiting
Like a sucker for too long
So grab your bags and say so long
Well I don't know if you were listening
Or if there's a fever in my mind
I get the feeling now
That I've been flying blind
And I might be chasing what you left behind

Honey Won't You Stay
03:53
|
|||
High and dry
A kite in the desert sky
So long to hollow lullabies and half-baked dreams
You'll run like the Nile to the open untamed sea
And now I'm just as I used to be
Twisted alone
And you act like you didn’t know
I left just enough to make it through the night
Oh, but you, you took it and ran
Now don't you look so grand, runnin'
Through the reds of my traffic lights
So you can take the back roads
So long as you know
I don't need to see your tracks to know you're leavin'
The sun has set and the leaves fell with the season
I don't need to see your ticket to know that it wasn't just one way
So Honey won't you, Honey won't you stay
Hurricane, swept in, blown away
Now all my chalk thoughts are spinning in the drain
Like a radar in the rain, now I'm overloaded and frayed, and baby
I thought you heard me say it
I said, August storm
Just a ghost of the summer's warmth
Take this
White rose and turn it into dust
I said, blind men could see
That darlin' what you do to me
It ain't right and there ain't no way that it's fair
So you can take your sweet time
Cause in the meantime
I don't need to see your tracks to know you're leavin'
The sun has set and the leaves fell with the season
I don't need to see your ticket to know that it wasn't just one way
So Honey won't you, Honey won't you...
Stay
Oh won't you...
Stay
High and dry
A rain cloud in disguise
You're a black cat on the last of all your nine lives, but
Soon I'll be gone and just like you it won't take long
Now the ashes of tomorrow sing your sad song
So...
Now wherever you go
I hope that you know
I don't need to see your tracks to know you're leavin'
The sun has set and the leaves fell with the season
I don't need to see your ticket to know that it wasn't just one way
So honey won't you... I said Honey won’t you?
I don't need to see your tracks to know you're leavin'
The sun has set and the leaves fell with the season
I don't need to see your ticket to know that it wasn't just one way
So Honey won't you
I said Honey won't you?
Honey won't you, Honey won't you stay

Train Song
03:24
|
|||
Smoke stacks, signs, departure times
I've got a suitcase full of clothes
I'd best be heading on down the railroad line
And it'd be best if you didn't know
Well I tried to make you love me
Now I'll try to let you go
But when the train pulls through the station
And that whistle starts to blow
Well I can't help but remember
That one story that you told
‘Bout how you rearranged the furniture
When you were just a few years old
And I know this time there's no good reason
Left for me to stay
But if these trains are meant for leavin’
Why am I standing at the gate?
Maybe it's my fault for forgetting
Who I was when I was mine
I've come to realize this one thing
You couldn't fix what I couldn't find
So when they ask me where I'm goin’
And I tell them I don't know
By the time that train is slowin’ down
And the whistle starts to blow
Well I can't help but remember
That one snowy afternoon
When we were talking 'bout the future
And all the things we were gonna do
And I know this time there's no good reason
Left for me to stay
But if these trains are second chances
Why'd I watch mine roll away
Well the sun has come and gone now
That's how it goes, I understand
When I reach into my pocket
To hold your picture in my hand
It's a quiet consolation
A mistake that I don't mind
Maybe you'll meet me at the station
Or maybe somewhere down the line
And I can't help but remember
When you asked me for your song
And I laughed but I didn't tell you
That they were all yours all along
And I know this time there's no good reason
Left for me to stay
But if these trains are starting over
Why won’t mine just roll away
Yeah if these trains are starting over
Why won’t mine just roll away

Shadow of a Man
04:25
|

There's a shadow of a man that's been following me around
He looks just like I used to and he sounds just like I sound
He's staring through my windows and he's writing on my walls
Walking in my footsteps and answering my calls
He's subtle in the daytime but he's everywhere at night
When I look around I see him, when I don't he's in plain sight
So I opened all my windows and I unlocked all my doors
Hoping like a fly inside he'd come again no more
Damn this quiet room
And the ghosts that haunt me too
I won't lie but I can refuse
That an honest man can't hide the truth, no
Shadow of a man, I am you
There's a shadow of a man who steals my light away
And I want it back so badly, but I don't know what to say
Cause I'm tangled like a spider spun in his own web
I am the lone provider of these shadows in my head
Now some red like the devil
And others soft like rain
Some run ‘round the riverbend
And some are sweet like cane
But the hues are always changing
And my story's still unread
The only thing that's certain
Are these shadows in my head
Damn this quiet room
And the ghosts that haunt me too
I won't lie but I can refuse
That an honest man can't hide the truth, no
Shadow of a man, I am you
There's a shadow of a man
Here sprawled across my floor
Watching every move I make
I just don't know what for
And I hear those bells a-ringin'
Yeah I hear them loud and clear
But it's not those bells a-ringin’
It's these shadows that I fear
Now the mornings here are quiet
So I'll wait until the dawn
And that man you knew so long ago
Come sunrise will be gone
And you'll know it when you see me
'Cause I'll be riding with the wind
My shadow right beside me
My unforsaken friend
Damn this quiet room
And the ghosts that haunt me too
I won't lie but I can refuse
That an honest man can't hide the truth, now
Shadow of a man
I am you

I'm Gonna Be Okay
03:28
|
|||
For all my lonely nights
In my darkest hour
For the needless fights
And strong whiskey sours
For the times that I spoke
But had nothing to say
Now I know
I'm gonna be okay
For all the walks I took
Alone at night
For the lefts on my books
That should've been rights
For the postcards I kept
To remember brighter days
Now I know
I'm gonna be okay
And I waited for a morning
That I thought would never come
And I broke without a warning
Like a dog on the run
I was stuck inside a barrel
Without a crack for the sun
Hoping for hope
That I'd find peace in someone
For all the times I said I'm sorry
But didn't know how to change
For the pain and the worry
That won't go away
For the trouble I caused
For the grief and dismay
Now I know I'm gonna be okay
Okay -
I'm gonna run to the sun and start healing
Okay -
For all the love songs I wrote
That lacked luster or meaning
For the scribbled down notes
About how I'm feeling
For the nights that I felt
Like slipping away
Now I know I'm gonna be okay
Now I know I'm gonna be okay
