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
I saw it performed live twice this weekend. The first time I heard it it caught me off-guard, a glancing blow. The second time, I took it in the chest.
sweet desire
is bitter torture,
You are no fathers daughter,
No man has this much to offer,
Skin dark as sin,
Soft and when,
We took cover,
From the rain,
And the thunder,
Under stained glass we did slumber,
Till the sun came out to blind us,
Till we could not see anything,
So we knew at once we were meant to be,
And we heard the gods all rise and say,
The love we made is no lie.
And with 30 years of hopes and fears breathing down my neck,
Such a sad sad thing i set you free,
'Cuz I can't get you back.
You are fire, you are water.
When you dance, it is torture.
Maybe some night by the grey light of the dull moon we can meet,
Tangled, intwined, we have climbed, we have wrangled, shiny sequence sparked and spangled,
Our hearts are cuffed and mangled,
We speant the night,
By the side of the water,
Passed the breakers and the markers,
We swam out into the darkness,
Till we could not feel,
The bottom.
Till we could not feel anything.
And the shoreline slowly drifted out fo reach,
As the moon shone down and the ocean heaved,
And darkness gave to light.
And with 30 years of hopes and fears breathing down my neck,
Such a sad sad thing i set you free,
'Cuz I can't get you back.
You are fire, you are water.
When you dance, it is torture.
Maybe some day on the bottom of the ocean we can meet.
Though we know if we do, we can never leave,
'Cuz the moment that we turn away
The gods will say
The love we made
Was a lie.
Song That Best Fits Today:
Never mind overjoyed
Just start with happy.
There’s no more silent nights
And no more horrid fights
Just got a new place
And put a thousand miles
Between you and your
Wrong impressions
And ok, that’s my opinion
Not everybody else agrees
Hey self defeater
You're underrated by yourself so quit looking down
And you need attention
You really do
And I know that it’s yesterday
That you’re blowing away
And something so
Un-sugar coated like you
Shouldn’t have to try
Just to satisfy
And ok that’s my opinion
Not everybody else agrees
Hey self defeater
You're underrated by yourself so quit looking down
And what’s over you
Has come over me
Drive around
And you walk around
Wishing and thinking, wishing and thinking
And I think that you think too much
Ok that’s my opinion
Not everybody else agrees
Hey self defeater
You’re underrated by yourself so quit looking down
You’re underrated by yourself so quit looking down
You’re underrated so quit looking down and look up
And look up
And look up
Look up
Look up
Look up
Look up

We were lying in bed, staring at the moon,
and I was wondering if I was supposed to be in love.
But we couldnt quite decide if the moon was full,
but I thought, well, tonight its full enough.
And this morning I was casually trying to sniff my fingers on the way back home.
I could smell you and I felt like a little boy.
Now we've been on these open seas far too long
so take a breath, take my hand, there's land ahoy.
