Four Days Lyrics
3 ContributorsFour Days LyricsAll I want is something good
It gets harder every time
She is leaving here tonight
Take a breath
Take your time
Spread your wings and rise
Make a mark upon the wall
Paint your face and pass the time
Close your eyes as she ascends
Hold your breath and ease your mind
Forty thousand times
Time fades into the night
They descend and then they climb
Feathers falling through the night
Have you seen Ohio rise?
It has been four days and nights
All I want is something fine
It gets harder every time
She is sleeping far away
Take a breath
Take your time
Spread your wings and rise
Rise into the black Ohio skies
They descend and then they climb
Feathers falling through the night
Have you seen Ohio rise?
It has been four days and nights, nights
High Life Lyrics
8 ContributorsHigh Life LyricsSuch a life
Such a life
Such a life
I'm a comet
And, honestly, I don't know why
All my friends got flowers in their eyes
But I got none this season
All of last year's blooms have gone and died
Time doesn't give a reason
Well hey baby, do you ask yourself sometimes
What you need to be forgiven?
Everything that you've ever done wrong
Is the reason that I'm driven straight to you
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I get my ends and my beginnings mixed up, too
Just the way you do
I thought if I told you
You might want to stay for just another day or two
It's just like answers that come in small packages that go in the mail
Waiting for the trains that just never come
Beginning to believe
In the disappearing nature of the people we have been
We have begun to change
Into the worst kind of people
So unkind
Oh apologies
No apologies
This apology
Doesn't describe the way it feels to feel for you
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I find myself slowly disappearing, too
Just the way you do
I thought if I told you
You might want to help me to remain with you
I just want to stay for a little while
I want to stay for a little while
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on
Because there's a nightlife falling down on me
I just feel like a change
Beneath the sun in the summer
A sea of flowers won't bloom without the rain
But oh, this desert life
This high life
Here at the dying of the day
I wasn't made for this scene
But I was made in this scene
And baby it's just my way
I don't want to go home alone
I wanna come on home to you
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I line my sky with all the silver I can use
Just the way you do
I thought if I told you
You might want to stay for just another day or two
Isn't that just like disappearing into the sum of yourself?
And the person you are disappearing into
It's like one plus one equals nothing at all
One plus two equals nothing at all
One plus me equals nothing at all
One plus you equals one plus you
Equals you and you and you and you and
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Colorblind Lyrics
19 ContributorsColorblind LyricsI am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready, I am ready, I am ready
I am taffy stuck and tongue tied
Stutter-shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am fine
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded and unfolded and unfolding
I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am fine
I am fine
I am fine
I Wish I Was a Girl Lyrics
9 ContributorsI Wish I Was a Girl LyricsThe devil's in the dreaming
He tells you I'm not sleeping
In my hotel room alone
With nothing to believe in
You dive into the traffic rising up
And it's so quiet
You're surprised and then you wake
For all the things you're losing
You might as well resign yourself to try and make a change
And I'm going down to Hollywood
They're going to make a movie from the things
That they find crawling 'round my brain
I wish I was a girl so that you could believe me
And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep
I wish for all the world that I could say
"Hey, Elisabeth, you know I'm doing alright these days"
The devil's in the dreaming
You see yourself descending from a building to the ground
You watch the sky receding
You spin to see the traffic rising up
And it's so quiet
You're surprised
And then you wake
For all the things I'm losing
I might as well resign myself to try and make a change
But I'm going down to Hollywood
They're going to make a movie from the things
That they find crawling 'round my brain
I wish I was a girl so that you could believe me
And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep
I wish for all the world that I could say
"Hey, Elisabeth, you know I'm doing alright these days"
In one of these dreams
You forgive me
It makes me think of bad the decisions that keep you at home
How could anyone else have changed?
All these wrong conclusions that leave you alone
How could everyone rearrange?
How could everyone else have changed?
What I see
I believe
For all the things I'm losing
I might as well resign myself to try and make a change
Well, I'm going down to Hollywood
They're going to make a movie from the things
That they find crawling 'round my brain
I wish I was a girl so that you could believe me
And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep
I wish for all the world that I could say
"Hey, Elisabeth, you know I'm doing alright these days"
But I can't sleep at night
