Lyrics:

It's never straight and we love the swerve Stories live ‘round every curve Once a stranger in a lonely world Now I love your shadow and I love your curls Two children of society Built to rob you of identity Lifted up to be set free By any name you’re a rose to me By any other name you’re a rose to me When the river overflows Stirs up the sadness in your mind You won’t tread water alone I’ll be swimming by your side Until the day I die We are an army, love is a sword It's the tapping on the kitchen floor And it stands before us a protector To keep the monsters from our door Love keeps the monsters from our door When the river overflows Stirs up the sadness in your mind You won’t tread water alone I’ll be swimming by your side Until the day I die The distance between you and I is shrinking before our eyes And with your cheek touching mine I feel so alive That I ain’t scared to die

Lyrics:

wait by the door seek a sign of something more let the last light of day slowly bend around your frame wake in the night to the low moon on the horizon this is only for a while yeah it’s only for a while wake in the cold watch the mountains as they unfold in the first light of day as it bends around your frame

Lyrics:

And you’re stumbling while you move to slow towards me I begin to talk while we sync each others feet And I try to grasp the moments of our lives Your skin pale blue your lips shake like crazy Oh I can’t move my fingers across your lips The notches of your faded hopes I try to soak up all the moments you give me now And you know that we would explode if we’d got it all I remember when you first showed me around And I try to grasp the moments of our lives Your skin pale blue your lips shake like crazy Oh I can’t move my fingers across your lips The notches of your faded hopes

Lyrics:

Morning light touching down Like a kiss on your head Don't want to leave this town Just want to stay in bed And watch the water out our window Let's watch the water run through Our little river town With you sleeping next to me And the sun breaking through the clouds Our little river town follow the water down It was made for us this must be the place for us Our little river town All of the neighbors call me by my name They all want to stick around here Baby I know you feel the same way So we can live by the water Live by the water that’s running through Our little river town With you sleeping next to me And the sun breaking through the clouds Our little river town follow the water down It was made for us this must be the place for us This is our home through hard times and good When we're down on our luck We take a walk and we watch the water run Let's watch the water out our window Let's watch the water run through Our little river town With you sleeping next to me And the sun breaking through the clouds Our little river town follow the water down It was made for us this must be the place for us This love of ours no one can take from us Our little river town

Lyrics:

Watch the sunrise through the rain One hundred more miles to fame In a half broken machine Chasing a dream We're the creatures from across Any truck stop parking lot Long hair, yesterday's jeans Chasing a dream Wild eyed, lonesome, freaks Pirates on an asphalt sea Of red lights, running river Another night tracing the dark Crimson eyes, white knuckles And a black and blue heart Bless the mad ones, those who know You can’t rock without someplace to roll Bless the driveways, the beds, and caffeine That carry a dream When we’re yellowed by the sun And dangle our feet from the horizon Proud and free, wannabes We chased a dream Wild eyed, lonesome, freaks Pirates on an asphalt sea Of red lights, running river Another night tracing the dark Crimson eyes, white knuckles And a black and blue heart Are we wading in the water Are we walking on the tide Running river may you ever be our guide No endorsements, no reinforcements Only three hundred horses pulling me home Down that road sweet road, so roll baby roll Red lights, running river Another night tracing the dark Crimson eyes, white knuckles And a black and blue heart Are we wading in the water Are we walking on the tide Running river may you ever be our guide Running river may you ever be our guide Running river may you ever be our guide

Lyrics:

light through the doorway comes you are the fear that I’d run from you are the leaves come to call a season returned that I forgot feels louder than light cutting the night just like a knife spin me around and I lose my way a dream returned that I forgot can you be what I need? see what I see? all the simple things coffee, the paper, the evening breeze getting lost in the north cascades, planning a life that just can’t wait can I be what you need see what you see oh, I pull you in from the cold so here we are can we be who we want? do we know where this will lead? how do I quiet these growing fears that govern me? well I know where I begin, and I know where I’d like to end I have been to the shadowed edge I have seen the weary rest where are we now? ?

Lyrics:

Though it may not be right now, with the way things have worked out, it was often that I should have said I was tied in fear throughout. Then you took me by surprise, with the way you looked that night. With your coat turned up against the snow, we were taking our time, and you couldn’t have known that you’d gone to my head as I’m walking you home. She has gone. She has gone right to my head. When I wake before you now, settle in and settle down. Where the trees are dark and hollowed out, with the winter drifting south. I will know just what you mean, a kind of golden age thinking. Where we both look back to things we’d known, as we’re taking our time, and we’re taking it slow. And it’s gone to my head, and you couldn’t have known You have gone. You have gone right to my head. Though it may just be right now, with the winter drifting south.

Lyrics:

I sink back below as the water surrounds. You’d known all this trouble could bring me down. Find something sweet to say and keep it to yourself. Let it get out. Keeping it down. I’ll sink back below til you change me enough.?Fade out, lose our sight as it changes to dusk With every single word that says we’ve come undone. Not making a sound, don’t let me leave now. You look as if it’s something I should know. The undertow we built into a home. I never want to know if I even love you now. You left it here, thinking it’d be saved somehow. I sink back below as the current surrounds. See me, and feel that all of our actions were bound I can’t remember which way that it went wrong. Some memory drowned. I can’t make it out. You look as if it’s something I had known. The undertow we built into a home. I never want to know if I even love you now. You left it here, thinking it’d be saved somehow No, do I even love you now? And I don’t see that I’ll ever figure out. We’re turning into something and you have held the line. Will you turn me into someone who takes it all in stride? I gotta know. I’ve gotta tell you. If I could ever, if I could tell you. Oh, no if I even love you now. You left it here, Thinking it’d be saved somehow.

Lyrics:

Stuck on you when I'm home I can't go out on my own Go ahead, bring it back Tell me what's normal now I heard we're going south Should I be so lucky now? Go ahead, bring it back Go ahead, bring it back Out of my former self Get me out of my shell I wave a fond farewell Go ahead, bring it back Wandered in wilderness Take me away again Take me away again Go ahead, bring it back Go ahead, bring it back

Lyrics:

Drawn from Orion, we bend while picking you up through the last days of autumn. Climbing the steps to your bed, the drifts building upwards like cards on a table towards home. Oh, winter takes me four hours away. Pick through the pines Where we met my grandfather. He told me you looked quite the same. Your coat filled with burs, and we grinned at the thought of it. Saying we know you’ll be safe. The sun howling down on your path to the bottom towards home. Time won’t change that you never looked away, if you pass so unexpectedly. And when we travel where you go through several weeks of snow to see. Backwards inside the lines, and you sit by my side as I read. The forest where we had just to leave you now. Oh, summer brings us back from far away. Soaked to the bone, overlooking the garden. And though all words may have changed, you’re picking me up by the turn of the autumn.

Lyrics:

By the big hunt in this light. Did you wonder if we might? Cause you were like sun on the side of this room that I wandered through. There’s nothing you could possibly say to change this for me. Wrapped in the sound of some fictional life. Where someone like you was kissing my eyes. You were like sun on the side of this room, that I wandered through. You feel like summer before the rain. The trip we took to the lake. Say what you meant all along. You taste like coffee and cinnamon. Caught in the thick of it, I’ll send of all of this to you now: You’re ever my love Taken our time cause we have never been scared. And you hardly knew yourself, and your books may never leave my shelf. You hardly knew yourself. I won’t be another. I don’t mean to say that I was just another. I don’t think there could ever be another. I don’t mean to say I was just another.

Lyrics:

got my jar of flower petals screwed the lid on tight don't want the sunlight escaping gone to bed like it's going out of style steal an inch, force a smile shut your eyes and look around pay no mind to foreign sounds dig a hole deep in the ground I'll help you down while we're speaking of the devil keep your ears shut tight don't want the sunlight escaping a house built from expensive metal drawing from the well you had installed in the basement down your rabbit hole we go where's the surface? no one knows there's one more hole in the clouds where the sun's beating down but it won't reach underground i'm lucky that i brought my shovel dig up towards the light don't want the sunlight getting wasted i'd stand up but the ground's not level start rolling down the hill my mind is racing erasing

Lyrics:

the ship calling back toward the shore afraid that things aren't quite the same as before there's something wrong why is your face so long? the shore shouting to the ship we sunk a lot into this trip hope we don't fall in the water the ship returning to the shore tides aren't quite the same anymore bottom scraping shallow water the woods whisper to the trees realizing what this means remember all the things we had? said they would last right before they fell as leaves then the leaves line the forest floor preceded by the year before let them know what's in store

Lyrics:

on and on we start again leaves of grass or waves of wind same old shape but a different man fool them all, smile, shake their hands. oh this failing fame, sinks to nothing, is it all that you'll ever need? one by one y’all push against the aging guard though they pay the rent. craft them all, curate your days just so, just so, your perfect parade. but this fleeting fame sinks to nothing is it all that you'll ever need? so take me as I am and this life unseen. i'm here i'm calling out, i'm all you need we wake up, our faces on, is this all that we'll ever need? when the game is up, and no one cares at all, am i all that you'll ever need?

Lyrics:

It;s easy to fall in love but you don't know, how to get it out of you. We're lovers on the moon It's easy to fight gravity but you don't know you are floating away We are lovers on the moon our love is on the moon.

Lyrics:

golden light through the open door, splashless breeze against your skin. on the wind, the salty tide of sweat, of tears, of ocean. golden light through the old window, spilling out on the floor. on the wind, the luring call of toil, of change, of joy. oh your errant heart swept along by the breeze again. so you’re lost in the golden light, splashless while you drift. but on the wind there’s nothing left, nothing left to swim against. oh your unmoored heart drawn along in the wake again. oh your unmoored heart drawn along in the wake again. oh your wild heart wasn't it always someplace else?

Lyrics:

Movin through the day, You know it’s gonna be alright Everything you say The light that keeps me up all night I know it’s gonna be alright. Dancin’ through the rain, The sun appears to bring us light Everything I say You know it’s gonna be alright I know I’m gonna be alright We’re going home Oooh, oh, oh home We’re going home. Everything in time I know it’s gonna be alright Everything in life Begins again with morning light Begins again with morning light We’re going home Oooh, oh, oh, oooh Home, we’re going home Moving through the day You know it’s gonna be alright Everything you say The light that keeps me up at night I know it’s gonna be alright [repeated 2x] We’re going home Oooh, oh, oh, oooh Oooh, oh, oh, oooh home We’re going home

Lyrics:

winding down the valley towards the shore we must be close to the coast, I can taste the salt. and we grab the rising sun to make the world revolve around us. wander on. the fog is thick and the smoke from this train climbs, like the redwoods tall, as we rise and fall. those hills call your name, and the wind, she tells you things: “this world is ours. Let’s wander on.” wander on. wander on.

Lyrics:

don't we all throw a coin and wish for this? you and I in bed the record’s on we're so cavalier, 'understood at last,' you said, so we were calling out what we think our futures hold but you are the river, and i'm the stone canyon wall you were just, just passing through. morning light reappeared, we'd stayed up all night. the garden lay undiscovered, the trees shared their colors. can't we stay like this for all of time? never. never change your course, never change your mind? but you are the river and i'm the stone canyon wall and you're just, just passing through like the wind through the valley and the sea that scrapes the shore, all those days did shape us because you are the river and I'm the stone and you're swift, and you're strong, and I erode you are the river and I'm the stone canyon wall and you're just, just passing through.

Lyrics:

I spilled my colors onto the floor like a newborn babe unto the earth. I thought that it was righteous, but no, it’s not. I watched your fingers dancing on my guitar. I watched the empires rise and fall. I watched as daggers rained down from the clouds. I watched your fingers dancing on my guitar. I spilled my colors onto the floor like a newborn babe unto the earth. I thought that it was righteous, but no, it’s not. I gave you apples from our old tree. I gave you wisdom under the sun. I gave you something that we could not see. I gave you You, and to me, you gave Me. I spilled my colors onto the floor like a newborn babe unto the earth. I thought that it was righteous, but no, it’s not. I laughed at my footprints swimming away. I laughed at preachers with nothing to say. I laughed with all the dead men ’til they were all out of breath. I laughed at my body for being made of flesh. I spilled my colors onto the floor like a newborn babe unto the earth. I thought that it was righteous, but no, it’s not. And I thought that a dream was never coming true. And I thought it was strange that Me, instead, is You. I thought that oceans only waved when I looked their way. And I thought that Jesus Christ was dead, but I touched His wounds and I saw His face. I spilled my colors onto the floor like a newborn babe unto the earth. I thought that it was righteous, but no, it’s not.

Lyrics:

Jesse Winters found himself alone at 12 o’clock. It occurred to him slowly that loneliness is a path he’d rather not walk. “Poor, poor Jesse,” he told himself, “he’s on his hands and knees! He’s got no pride!” Preparing a letter addressed to the friends and the foes that he happened to have known, he scrawled in ink what was torn in his heart: his tormented feelings and his woes. “Poor, poor Jesse,” he told himself, “He’s on his hands and knees! He’s got no pride! Ah!” He picked up a rifle, then he stuffed an envelope with his letter to world, and tied his boots with the laces that he once used to hang himself, but broke. “Poor, poor Jesse,” he told himself as he loaded up his ammunition. He dropped his letter then he started shooting at the sky in the city square. And as they dragged him away, he told them about the letter — to read it out loud at the fair. It said: “My name’s Jesse. I’m angry at God, I ain’t ashamed to say. And so at noon, I’m gonna shoot Him down from his throne in the sky in the middle of the day. And when He falls down from the earth, my friends, we’re gonna have a trial — for each and every tragedy and genocide and every single problem He has made. I’m hoping He’ll apologize. Do you think He’ll apologize? I don’t know. But I hope so. — Jesse Winters.”

Lyrics:

In all I’ve lost, what should I have retained? How am I not much better off this time around? Look at all I’ve done. Look at all that pain! Look at me, o look at everything, o soul of mine. I hear all the voices telling me, “It’ll always be the same.” Crooked ways they push my body through: crooked voices, crooked aim. Shame, shame, shame, tell me your sweet story now and I’ll surely pay the price with my pain, with my pain. Pain, pain, pain, you and my everlasting love are gonna bleed together now, writing my name, writing my name, writing my name. I know you’ve waited so long to walk along the wounded way, to find a secret you can make me stumble on. But I stumble so well, I can make it look like dancing, always leaving things to chance and no one else. Well that’s the dream we’re dreaming in our heads, it’s so dense, and it’s so strange. But that’s the way our bleeding wounds do heal. We’ll come out perfect through the pain. Shame, shame, shame, tell me your sweet story now and I’ll surely pay the price with my pain, with my pain. Pain, pain, pain, you and my everlasting love are gonna bleed together now, writing my name, writing my name, writing my name. O Holy Ghost, I tried to teach you right and wrong. Tried to keep you in a stack of books and lies. But now I see what I now see: see you looking through my eyes at everything, have a look around. Heaven and the stars all tumbled down, learned to die, then I arose. Beauty in a dream that looks like me lives within me — I’m her clothes. Shame, shame, shame, tell me your sweet story now and I’ll surely pay the price with my pain, with my pain. Pain, pain, pain, you and my everlasting love are gonna bleed together now, writing my name, writing my name, writing my name.
