1. I crossed the seven seas, brought giants to their knees
I stuck a big ol' smile on my mother's face
She said, "Son, if you're gonna leave, you best remember me
I brought you in, I'll take you out of this place."
My lover's packed her bags and she's never coming back
A big ol' birds ready to take her away
The pilot's on the phone, he said, "Forget with going home
If they wanted you there, they would have made you stay."
They would have made you stay.
2. I took a picture of the sun doing what it does
With white birds and palm trees hanging above
So when the winter comes in and eats up the sand,
I'll have a piece of summer sitting my hand
Sitting in my hand
Chorus:
I walk the whole world looking for you
Then I searched the stars and under the moon
In the dark, I saw your face and then I
Took you home just to keep you safe
Just to keep you safe

Winter Days
03:37
|

|
My winter days are over,
My love drunk car finally sobers
I lock the doors and come over
We get together and compare our scars
Your story starts with no beginning
And mine stops with no end
To love in life and forgetting
Understanding you're giving in
We're giving in
Little girl with the weight of the world on your shoulders
For a skinny thing, you're moving boulders
A heavy heart, a heavy load,
Where you stop, no one knows
But I know that road
My winter days are over
My love drunk car finally sobers, yeah
I lock the door and come over
We get together and compare our scars

Where Have You Been?
05:19
|
|||
|
Loneliness is a mouth I've barely kissed
With your footprints left on everywhere
We've been
You're bartering for ignorance so bliss
Honey, where have you been?
82 tiles on the floor
They're rushing by and you're counting
Several more
With one hand on your chest and the other
Holding death
Honey, where was I?
(Chorus)
Do your eyes still rain when they're watching over me?
Does your head still dream after drifting off to sleep?
Does your hair still curl when the weather's warm outside?
Can your hand still feel what it's like to be inside mine?
I wonder why everything I love has died
With my heart in my hands,
I do my best to understand
Honey, where have you been?
(Chorus)

Even
03:57
|
|||
|
Even the sun has its off days
And lets those clouds come out to rain
But sure as sin, it's back again
Just the same
Even lovers have their fights,
But soon remember lonely nights
Get to bed and rest that head
You'll be good in time
Even the Devil needs the Lord
Just to keep from being bored
'Cause with no enemies,
We have no means for
Being mean anymore
So I hold the one I love
And I tell her that I need her
She fits me like a glove
She's got me wrapped around
Those fingers
Even the honest tell their lies,
Even the failure still will try
Is it worse just to die alone or never
Know if you were right?

Bad Luck
03:27
|
|||
|
It's bad luck, you know
We're always running, girl,
From the things we used to know
When I sleep alone
Don't care for the tv or talking on the telephone
It's bad luck and broken bones
Keep me company every time that I get home
When you sleep alone
Don't care for the tv or songs on your radio
No, no, no, no

Porchlight Instrumental

|

|
Burning out the porchlights
Making plans for going home
These kids skipping out the night life
In exchange to be alone
I can feel you breathing somewhere
Deep inside my bones
Can't you feel me calling when you need to come back home
You need to come back home

Backwards and Bent
03:08
|
|||
|
Well, me, I'm so backwards, I'm bent
I sleep all day, 'cause the nights that I've spent
Awake at the store, asking for more
Tylenol to clear my head
You, you're almost sick again
For the pains that you feel
You have no medicine
The doc checks your eyes,
Tells you you're fine,
He just says, "Go back to bed."
So you're lying in bed and you're looking outside,
Counting the stars and fireflies
The voice at the end of the telephone line
Says, "Baby, let's get some sleep."
But you made the mistake of staying up late
To compile a list, the things you love and you hate
Your eyes want to close, they want to break
But they'll just have to wait
So we're two broken kids,
Laying side by side
I broke my foot,
You're going blind
I'll look out for you if you can stand for me
Together we'll be complete
Together we'll be complete

Peso
03:39
|

|
I seen all kinds of sorrow
Tasted all kinds of pain
But don't you let nobody tell you
It's all the same
You could take a pill
You get your fill,
They're not going away
Met some kid across the border
He was digging in the sand
Virgin Mary 'cross his neck and he had
Pesos in his hand
He was watching for planes
He's getting away
I've seen the world from the ocean
I've seen it from the sky
But I never been to Heaven
Just to ask the good Lord why
He knows someday, I'll be coming his way
