it's so nice out (it's so nice out)
it's so nice out (it's so nice out)
I wanna take you to see all the beauty
I wanna show you the forest and the trees
I didn't mean to, mean to say that
and if I could I would take it all back
and I just want you to believe me
but every moment feels like I'm sinking
it's so nice out (it's so nice out)
it's so nice out (it's so nice out)
I wanna take you into the city
and watch the buildings and the bridges sway in the breeze
I think I missed you, I regret that
leave a message, I'll tray to get back
I bought you flowers, but it's not working
we used to blossom but now we're wilting
it's so nice out (it's so nice out)
it's so nice out (it's so nice out)
hurting, it's hurting
and you don't care
I didn't mean to, mean to say that
and if I could I would take it all back
I didn't mean that, I take it all back

hottest day of summer
05:08

I cut the sleeves off of all my shirts, it was the hottest day in summer
the days went by uneventfully as far as I still remember
I've been dying to take off my clothes
the local swimming pool's evaporating
and you're so hot, like, god only knows
it's the way your hair's up
keep track of all the grains of sand
the hourglass is set to our time
I'll never let go of your hand
and these nights are endless
walking down to Bowditch Point
the sun is setting on your tan lines
and you're so fine, like, could you be mine?
I'm just a little sun kissed
the summer's only here so long
I'm not about wasting our time
the ocean breeze is the perfect song
and these nights are endless
I cut the sleeves off of all my shirts, it was the hottest day in summer
the days went by uneventfully as far as I still remember
keep track of all the grains of sand,
the hourglass is set to our time
I'll never let go of your hand
let's make this summer last a lifetime
I look to the sky
in hopes that it might rain
I don't think that I
will ever see it again

last rites
03:32
|
|||

another day in paradise
searching for a way to forgive myself
but I'm already on thin ice
hell is frozen, better watch my footing
if I'm to die tonight, would you read my last rites for me
before I enter my last sleep?
you never saw me cry
would you lend a hand if I were a stranger
we're both here in paradise
forty days and forty nights
all I can think is how could you leave me here
you shouldn't do it, it's not right
but now I'm all alone in the desert

prayer candles

I shower in candlelight
the angels are with me tonight
and Mary and Jesus
they're all in line
I listen to the singing choir
in the back pew, I perspire
it's been a long time, god
but I'm making amends
lead me to the prayer candle light
lead me to the prayer candle light
I once was lost, lost and I was blind
so lead me
I'm sitting in your holy presence
dissolve me of my transgressions
and all of my sins, god
I give it up to you
and I'm falling in line
with your perfect design
kyrie eleison
have mercy on me

peach
02:29
|
|||
|
we must face a simple truth
that I don't have the strength to leave you
and I don't mind the burdens that I seek
I am captivated by everything that hurts me
'cause I'm lost in your sea
the tide is coming in, the waves crash into me
I bruise like a peach
and you are the fall from a tree
you cut me right off at the knees
the cut was clean, but I'm still bleeding
but it's all right, my roots grow into place
and I will learn to cultivate

chasing my tail
04:17
|
|||
|
don't even know what to do with myself
is this jealousy or just a cry for help?
painted ivory sculptures of a life gone by
and when you walk in with another man, I want to cry
but please don't leave me alone
'cause I could make you a home
and I'm just chasing my tail
and I'm a ledge with no rail
getting hard to find some purpose in this life
trying not to put my faith in a paradise
when the bow line breaks into an eye
when the acolyte turns into dust
but please be patient with me
'cause I'm a touch out of reach
and I'm just chasing my tail
I'll try to no avail

a little more sunshine
03:19
|
|||
|
say goodbye to all the bad thoughts
floating around in your head all day
just like they own the place
feasting on your happiness
well I know where the sunshine goes
and I know where god keeps her rainbows
I know where it's warm all year
and if you wanna go you can meet me there
everyone I know could use a little more sunshine
everyone could use a little more love
