Table for Glasses Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sweep the dirty stairs
The ones I waited on
This is just for me
I felt it watching her
[Chorus]
And it happens too fast
To make sense of it, make it last
It happens too fast
To make sense of it, make it last
[Verse 2]
Where do you intend to go
With your dirty dress?
Lead my skeptic sight
To the table and the light
[Chorus]
It happens too fast
To make sense of it, make it last
It happens too fast
To make sense of it, make it last
[Bridge]
Lead my skeptic sight
Lead my skeptic sight
Not asking of me anything
Saying nothing about what it means
Without anybody telling me
How I should feel
[Outro]
Lead my skeptic sight
To the table and the light
Lucky Denver Mint Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This time it's on my own
Minutes from somewhere else
Somewhere I made a wish
With Lucky Denver Mint
[Chorus]
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
[Verse 2]
Hurry, go on ahead
Good things won't let you wait
I'll catch up when we get home
At home I'll leave, a dollar under water keeps on dreaming for me
[Chorus]
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
[Bridge]
Why can't I learn?
Why can't I learn?
Learn, learn, learn
Learn, learn, learn
[Chorus]
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
Your New Aesthetic Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We're lowering the standards in a process selective
The formula's too thin
But it takes more than one person
So everyone jump on
I'll miss you when you're just like them
[Pre-Chorus]
Imitate and water down
(Selection breathes on its own)
Before the crash, I'll write it out
(Selection breathes on its own)
Make them open the request line
Let selection kill the old
(Take back the radio)
[Verse 2]
I remember back then thinking
Easy comes but doesn't stay
What comes easy never stays
But the politics need means
And business never leaves
You better sing now while you can
Better sing now while you still can (Imitate and water down)
[Pre-Chorus]
Selection breathes on its own
(Until we crash, I'll write it out)
Selection breathes on its own
(Make them open the request line)
Let selection kill the old
Take back the radio
[Chorus]
Sing now while you can, while you can
Sing now while you can, while you can
[Post-Chorus]
Imitate and water down
Selection breathes on its own
Until I crash, I'll write it out
Selection breathes on its own
Make them open the request line
Let selection kill the old
Turn off the radio
[Outro]
But it takes more than one person
So everyone jump on
I'll miss you when you're just like them
Believe in What You Want Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, don't bother going through your motions
Nothing that makes sense ever works out
And don't kid yourself, you know they want money
Well, nothing can be good on its own, it's just a merit
[Chorus]
Spinning and spinning
Do you believe in what you want?
Dancing in plastic, shake-up snow
Do you believe in what you want?
[Verse 2]
Put your trust in simple acts
Make the flyers, get them up all over town
And don't kid yourself, you know it's for money
Well, please keep in sight what makes you care, you have it always
[Chorus]
Spinning and spinning
Do you believe in what you want?
Dancing in plastic, shake-up snow
Do you believe in what you want?
[Bridge]
Your camera flash (Your camera flash)
On us, meaningless (On us, meaningless)
Your camera flash (Your camera flash)
On us, meaningless
[Verse 3]
You cannot waste a single night
What you ignore is priceless to me – to me!
[Chorus]
Spinning and spinning
Do you believe in what you want?
Dancing in plastic, shake-up snow
Do you believe in what you want?
A Sunday Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On a Sunday, I'll think it through
On the drive back, I'll think it through
What you wish for won't come true
Live with that – with that
[Verse 2]
And on a Sunday, she thought it through
Now as I drive back, there's thirty-six less hours
I have to change the course I send myself
I gotta live with that – with that
[Chorus]
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday
[Verse 3]
On a Sunday, go once around
'Cause when the ride's done, the hopes that you have carried
They fall out from your hands back to the ground
Live with that – with that
They fall out from your hands back to the ground
Live with that – with that
[Chorus]
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday
[Bridge]
Learn as the drugs leave
Learn as you lose it
You will
[Chorus]
And the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday
Yeah, the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday
Yeah, the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday
On a Sunday
Crush Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Faintest snow keep falling, falling, yeah
Hands around your waist
Nameless, standing cold, standing cold
[Chorus]
Like a breath
Like a breath
Take in restraint like a breath
My lungs are so numb from holding back
[Verse 2]
Walk close to the fence
Feel it hit your clothes
Turn and smile nice
Smile, say goodnight, say goodnight
[Chorus]
In a breath
In a breath
Simple discourse breaks you clean
Simple discourse breaks you clean in half
[Bridge]
Regret
Do try it once but then you know
It's your move
Settle for less again, again
[Chorus]
Like a breath
Like a breath
Like a breath
Like a breath
Take in restraint like a breath
My lungs are so numb from holding back
Yeah, from holding back
12.23.95 Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Didn't mean to leave you hanging on
I didn't mean to leave you all alone
I didn't know what to say
I didn't know what to say
[Verse 2]
Didn't mean to leave you hanging on
I didn't mean to leave you all alone
I didn't know what to say
Didn't know what to say
[Outro]
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas
Ten Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We left behind the busy crowd
So it seems we slow down
Meet me with a way out through the lies
Nowhere, going nowhere in the fake yellow light
[Chorus]
Blame no one
Blame no one
[Verse 2]
The feelings change so fast
Safety scares them away
I can't bring myself to say it
It's my own advice I need
Nowhere and then nowhere
Living trapped inside the chase
[Chorus]
Blame no one
(So blame) blame no one
(Could you look in my eyes and)
Blame no one
Blame no one
[Bridge]
Our weakness is the same
We need poison sometimes
Our weakness is the same
We need poison sometimes
So take another drink with me
[Chorus]
(So blame) blame no one
Blame no one
(Could you look in my eyes and)
Blame no one
Blame no one
Just Watch the Fireworks Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here, you can be anything
And I think that scares you
I think that scares you
Here, I've been here before
But only by myself
Myself
[Chorus]
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
[Verse 2]
What giving up gives you
And where giving up takes you
I've had and I've been
Here, in center frame
Here, there's only air
And just enough space to fit
[Chorus]
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
[Bridge]
I said, said, said it out loud over and over
Said, said, said it out loud, but what do I know?
Said, said, said it out loud over and over
Yeah
I said, said, said it out loud over and over
Said, said, said it out loud, but it did not help
I'll stop now
Just enough so I can hear you
I'll stay up as late as it takes
[Chorus]
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
[Bridge]
I said, said, said it out loud over and over
Said, said, said it out loud, but it did not help
I'll stop now
Just enough so I can hear you
I'll stay up as long as it takes
[Outro]
I'll stay up as late as it takes
I'll stay up as late as it takes
As late as it takes
As late as it takes
As long as it takes, takes, takes
I'll stay up as late as it takes
As long as it takes
For Me This Is Heaven Lyrics
[Intro]
The first star I see may not be a star
We can't do a thing but wait
So let's wait for one more
[Verse 1]
And the time, such clumsy time
In deciding if it's time
I'm careful, but not sure how it goes
You can lose yourself in your courage
[Chorus]
When the time we have now ends
When the big hand goes round again
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
[Verse 2]
And the mindless comfort grows
When I'm alone with my great plans
And this is what she said gets her through it
"If I don't let myself be happy now, then when?
If not now, when?"
[Chorus]
The time we have now ends
When the big hand goes round again
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I close my eyes and believe
That wherever you are
Angel, for when
[Outro]
The time we have now ends (When the time we have now ends)
And when the big hand goes round again (When the time we have now ends)
Can you still feel the butterflies? (When the time we have now ends)
Can you still hear the last goodnight? (When the time we have now ends)
Blister Lyrics
[Verse 1]
"Take advantage of these times," you said
You let me down, It hasn't been the first time
As I'm falling in the pit of fire
My mind's made up: I'm never coming back here
[Chorus]
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States all alone?
The west coast has been traumatized
And I think I'm the only one still alive
[Verse 2]
Is it just a coincidence
To see you by yourself with no direction?
Now it's time to move on
And don't you know that things aren't getting better?
[Chorus]
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States all alone?
The west coast has been traumatized
And I think I'm the only one still alive
[Bridge]
When the world caves in whatcha you going to do?
When the world caves in whatcha you going to do for me?
When the world caves in whatcha you going to do?
When the world caves in whatcha you going to do for me?
Don't try and stop me because I'm falling fast
(When the world caves in whatcha you going to do?)
Into this pit of fire which surrounds us all
(When the world caves in whatcha you going to do for me?)
In a blanket of fear that I've been wrapped in for years
(When the world caves in whatcha you going to do?)
Don't try and stop me, you can't stop me
(When the world caves in whatcha you going to do for me?)
[Chorus]
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States all alone?
The west coast has been traumatized
And I think I'm the only one still alive
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States all alone?
The west coast has been traumatized
And I think I'm the only one still alive
Clarity Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll take your words
As if you were talking to me
So say what I know you'll say
Say it through your teeth
[Pre-Chorus]
Now in the deep and down, your heart moves
Now in the deep and down
I don't know how, but I know I want out
[Chorus]
Wait for something better
Will I know when it can be us?
Wait for something better
Maybe that doesn't mean us
Wait for something better
I shouldn't, it's not enough
Pull one excuse from another
[Verse 2]
And with pride
Keep every failure in
And with pride
Hold on to your sinking
[Pre-Chorus]
Now in the deep and down, your heart moves
Now in the deep and down
I don't know how, but I know I want out
[Chorus]
Wait for something better
Will I know when it can be us?
Wait for something better
Maybe that doesn't mean us
Wait for something better
I shouldn't, it's not enough
Pull one excuse from another
This time it means stop, stop
[Refrain]
Pull one excuse from another
This time it means us
[Chorus]
Wait for something better
Will I know when it can be us?
Wait for something better
Maybe that doesn't mean us
Wait for something good
No, I shouldn't, it's not enough
Pull one excuse from another
This time it means stop
Goodbye Sky Harbor Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is tomorrow just a day like all the rest?
(How could you know just what you did?)
Like all the rest
(How could you know just what you did?)
So full of faith, yet full of doubt
[Chorus]
I ask again
I shall ask you this once again
He said
"I am but one small instrument." (Do you...)
Do you remember that?
[Verse 2]
Time and time again you said, "Don't be afraid."
(If you believe, then you can do it)
"Don't be afraid."
(If you believe, then you can do it)
The only voice I want to hear is yours
[Chorus]
Again
I shall ask you this once again
He said
"I am but one small instrument." (Do you...)
Do you remember that?
[Verse 3]
So here I am above palm trees so straight and tall
You are smaller, getting smaller
But I still see you
