Geometry of You
02:51
|
|||
I'm angled in, I'm sloping down and tumbling through
The intersections of my irregularities
There's never been someone else to work around
Another shape with parallel insecurities
I can't tell if this acuteness is obtuse
We're winding down and odyssey of two
With emotion that's unfolding in a volumetric notion
I'm tangled in geometry of you
You're telling me get to the point, don't cross the line
And I say baby don't take this on a tangent
We're just two hearts arcing towards some unseen sine
Waving back with hope we don't break into fragments
I can't tell if this acuteness is obtuse
We're winding down and odyssey of two
With emotion that's unfolding in a volumetric notion
I'm tangled in geometry of you

Nice To Be Needed
03:13

Ain't it nice to be needed
To have someone to please
To be talked up and treated like a team undefeated
Ain't it nice to be needed
Grab that dish off the top shelf
Scratch that itch that I can't reach myself
If ever I could use some help
Baby I need you
Ain't it nice to be needed
To have someone to please
To be talked up and treated like a team undefeated
Ain't it nice to be needed
Well to loosen up my knotted back
To entertain the guests who won't relax
To make amends and fill the gaps
Baby I need you
Ain't it nice to be needed
To have someone to please
To be talked up and treated like a team undefeated
Ain't it nice to be needed
And if you are ever with another, remember I need you
And if you call yourself a lover, remember I need you
And if you are tempted to discover, remember I need you
And if you find yourself another, remember I need
You you you you you
Ain't it nice to be needed
To have someone to please
To be talked up and treated like a team undefeated
Ain't it nice to be needed

Best I Can
03:39
|
|||
A day late, a dollar short is my middle name
Lately the cards don't fall my way
I need the queen of hearts and all I got are spades
And a handful of blues
But I'm doing the best I can with what I got
Maybe I'm gonna make it maybe not
What else can I do to get it through to you
That I'm doing the best I can with what I got
Feels like I'm living in someone else's dream
Been pulling hard and coming loose at the seams
But that won't stop me from trying
To push on through
But I'm doing the best I can with what I got
Maybe I'm gonna make it maybe not
What else can I do to get it through to you
That I'm doing the best I can with what I got

Goodnight, Sweet Luna

Good night sweet Luna
Go on rest your head
Turn the day’s songs
Into dreams instead
Someday this mean world
Will treat you with respect
Good night sweet Luna
Go on rest your head
Good night sweet Luna
Don’t be misled
Speak your whole truth
For the truth left unsaid
Is a broken wing bird
Left bleeding red
Good night sweet Luna
Don’t be misled
Soon
And long overdue
The moon
Will bend low for you
Goodnight sweet Luna
We’ll see it through
Good night sweet Luna
I’ll sleep when I’m dead
Too many thoughts
Are a-filling my head
So much to do
So much left ahead
Good night sweet Liza
I’ll sleep when I’m dead
Good night sweet Luna
Let your mind go
Never stop dreaming
Even when you grow old
The world will tell you
To turn bitter and cold
But never stop dreaming
No matter what you’re told
Good night sweet Luna
Go on rest your head
Turn the day’s songs
Into dreams instead
Someday this mean world
Will treat you with respect
Good night sweet Luna
Go on rest your head

Someday
02:38
|
|||
Man I'm tired
Of digging holes
Trying to get to the other side of the world
So I don't have to be here
Talking to you
When you ask me what I do
And I can say
Someday
Someday
I'm gonna know everything
About everything
I'm gonna find meaning
Someone who loves me
I'm gonna lift my voice and sing
This here town
Has been taking hits
They take from the poor
And they give to the rich
It's enough
To make your face turn blue
You can throw your hands up
Or find something to do
Or you can say
Someday
Someday
I'm gonna know everything
About everything
I'm gonna find meaning
Someone who loves me
I'm gonna lift my voice and sing
I've been trying hard
To play it cool
To act my age and to follow the rules
Folding all my laundry
I do the 9 to 5
But really I'm just bored and wanna play outside
And I can say
Someday
Someday
I'm gonna know everything
About everything
I'm gonna find meaning
Someone who loves me
I'm gonna lift my voice and sing

Orange Peels
02:56
|
|||
This is the song that they sing for us
If they sing without a care
Or whisper it a prayer
They'll be singing for us
And only us
This is the part about the day we met
You were throwing orange peels
Had me spinning like a wheel
And I'll never forget
The day we met
Because it's all about forever
And it's all about today
I will hold you in my arms
Come what may
Come what may
You took care of me when I hit my head
When I couldn't recall
What made me fall
Or the jokes I said
Again and again
We could build a life out on the sea
Working while we're young
But when our time comes, it's you and me
Counting three good things
Well I hope the little ones get their mama's charm
Curious and bright
Even through the darkest night
And we'll count the stars
And they'll be our hearts
Because it's all about forever
And it's all about today
I will hold you in my arms
Come what may
Come what may
Mmm
This is the song that they sing for us
If they sing without a care
Or whisper it a prayer
They'll be singing for us
And only us
