I don't blame you much for wanting to be free, I only wanted you to know
So you just do what you gotta do, my wild sweet love.
Though it may mean that I'll never kiss those sweet lips again,
Pay that no mind.
Find that dappled dream of yours;
Come on back and see me when you can.
Now I know they make you feel sad, they make you feel so bad.
They say you don't treat me me like you should, they got ways to make you feel no good.
I guess they got no way to know, I had my eyes wide open from the start.
And man, you never lied to me.
And the part of you that they'll never see, well that's the part you've shown to me.
So you just do what you gotta do, my wild sweet love.
Though it may mean that I'll never kiss those sweet lips again,
Pay that no mind.
Find that dappled dream of yours;
Come on back and see me when you can.
Down In Virginia
Sometimes my head is so cluttered with dumb ideas,
I must seem unteachable.
Last night I fell in love, and this morning I just feel sad-
Thinking about all that I lost and once had.
Down In Virginia, visiting true friends.
Trying my best to put on a smile for their new friends.
But my heart is aching for what they took down here,
Always aching for something that I have some other year.
There have been obstacles, but I've had it better than most.
Death doesn't scare me much, so many of my friends are ghosts.
If all the pain I feel is the price of life, then I'll pay.
'Cause it's getting to be a part of me now,
I used to think it was good enough just to be here,
But holding my place in this old race seems harder each year.
And emptying down a brown bottle don't make it clear
Take on Me
I don't know what I'm to say.
I'll say it anyway.
Today's another day to find you shying away.
I'll be coming for your love, OK?
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say, I'm odds and ends.
But I'll be stumbling away,
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me:
"It's no better to be safe than sorry."
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh, the things that you say-
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I forgot to remember.
You're shying away,
I'll be coming for you anyway.
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone in a day.
They have the time of their lives
I love to watch them floating
On their backs
Unburdened and relaxed
I sit in the tall grass and look the other way
And when I haul them in they always say
Our sencences will not served
We are constantly on trial
It's a way to be free
Most nights I go for a drive
To the highest place I can find
Stand there on a cliff with gooseflesh
Watching the wind rip the leaves from the trees
Death defying
Every breath
Death defying
Soon we will all be back in the yard
Behind the wall
Living hard
Dreaming of cool rivers and tall grass
We are constantly on trial
It's a way to be free
We are constantly on trial
It's a way to be free
"She comes back to tell me she's gone,
As if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own bed,
As if I'd never noticed,
The way she brushed her hair from forehead,
And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you're blown apart,
Everybody sees the wind blow"
It's not for a fuck, or a kiss
Rather give the world away than wake up lonely
Everywhere in every way I see you with me
Crowd surf off a cliff
Land out on the ice
Crowd surf off to sea
float towards the beach
If you find me, hide me, I don't know where I've been
Are we breathing, are we breathing, are we wasting our breath?
It won't be enough to be rich
All the babies tucked away in their beds
We're out here screaming,
"The life that you thought through is gone!"
Can't wind down, the ending outlasting the move
I wake up lonely
Crowd surf off a cliff
Land out on the ice
Crowd surf off to sea
float towards the beach
If you find me, hide me, I don't know where I've been
When you phone me tell me everything I did
If I'm sorry you lost me you'd better make it quick
Cause this call costs a fortune and it's late where you live
It's late where you live
Rather give the world away than wake up lonely
Everywhere and every way I see you with me
All the babies tucked away in their beds
We're out here screaming,
"The life that you thought through is gone"
Can't want out, the ending outlasting the move
I wake up lonely
I wake up lonely
I Lied. One more. This one is for M. It should've been on your mixtape, instead of Lord God Bird.
You were my best friend, going at it all.
And what if I put off my inheritance?
Where is the best man?
All arise us all in peace.
And I still like you, the best man.
Everything rises, going at it all.
All the surprises in a size too small.
And what if I told you
I was in love with this?
in a size for all of me?
I still know you.
And I still like you, the best man.
I still know you, the best man.
I still owe you.
