Good Wife 07:14
lyrics

Good Wife _________ Big plans and he’s gonna get things done, and he Tells his plans to everyone Ya' better make one fast move kid or it’s gone, well cuz’ Big Ideas only stretch so long Seventeen with no idea where to go, so he Packed his care and headed to the road Got lost in Denver for a while when he met her He’s in love and he knows that for sure She is everything to him and he’s everything to her - Twenty-three with a job, wife, and kid He’s got happiness and that good enough for him He still holds those Ideas in his head, he’s not Standing still but he talks about them less Just a matter of time I guess She’s a good person a Good Wife as well Patient and pretty and strong as hell She knows his dreams and she’ll follow him to them, well cuz’ Her dreams are Love, Trust, Happiness, and Him. Oh Love it’s everything you are Give up everything you have, everything you want Oh Love it’s everything you are Give up everything you have, everything you want Oh Love it’s everything you are ______________________ When The Sun Is Setting ______________________ Once in a while, when the sun is setting With the cold, faucet water running Hands are washed, from what you’ve been cutting A Mother’s touch, things are finally feeling Not the same, no there’s something different A coming peace, like our hands have shifted Dusty fumes, you said you felt but didn’t Know about the reason, well Follow me, through that Cedar Tree Grove Climb the fence, by the teetered old stove Hungry eyes, took in all that they chose The water’s edge, this is all that we know Bush and Pine, all know green with pleasure Take my hand, take my younger brother For all the world to see For all the world to see

Better Songs 03:44

Better Songs ____________ If I could write you a better song, like the ones I wrote when I was young Stand up fast get the blood to your head Dance those legs till you can barely stand Let the daytime, light the way ‘till the nighttime’s end, now Whatcha’ gonna’ do with the time you’re given Spend a little here, waste a lot while missin’ Out on the road, nobody knows where you are One of these day’s you’ll wind up alone With a wife and a kid and a job and a home, now Don’t really really bother with those kind of things You only need me - Write you Better Songs Like the ones I wrote when I was young - Shy from the Sun to escape the heat Well it’s hard to sleep, with your scent on my sheets The nightlife’s beat bleeds, into the morning's grief When the throbbin' bursts through my skull These lonely arms want a soul to hold Spin you slowly float like a crow - Write you Better Songs Like the ones I wrote when I was young - Everything I did wrong is coming down hard I did my worst Is anger ever really the better answer I can do my best, if we all stay friends Is it ever like the movies Where we all stay young Everything is perfect We all have fun Is it ever like the movies Where we all stay young And we look a little older - Write you Better Songs Like the ones I wrote when I was young We all had fun When I was young

Party In Your Honor _________________ Root do do doo, root do do do doo I would take your hand and run with it Like we were just invited To the captains royal garden For a Party In Your Honor We’ll probably show up early Talk politics while you worry They call your name and you stand up You bow, they clap, and you blush - Well everybody showed up for you Maybe next time we can bring your family too Just take my hand as we leave don’t worry about a thing I’ll carry you all the way home - Let’s meet the mayor of the city Ask him about society He said, “kid listen, watcha’ using your brain for, Just go out and waste some time on the dance floor” Dim the lights down low and move up close to her Just move your feet it’s closer to the answer - Well everybody showed up for you Maybe next time we can bring your family too Just take my hand as we leave don’t worry about a thing I’ll carry you all the way home Here we go! Root do do doo, root do do do doo

Poor Excuse For A Lover ______________________ Oh I only need you for just an hour After you can leave maybe take a shower I am such a Poor Excuse For A Lover Oh I just ignore you when it’s over What if I could change Or maybe I’m just stuck in my ways What if I did change Would I just revert someday Oh I only need you when I’m lonely Middle of the night when I take you slowly And I whisper simply words, yeah you’re my one and only I only say these words, to get you from your clothing. What if I could change Or maybe I’m just stuck in my ways What if I did change Would I just revert someday

Time Alone 04:49

Time Alone __________ Wash these colors from your skin Holidays were always best, when you were just a kid And the calls keep on coming from your family tree And your voice sounds so happy on the answering machine You need a vacation something to set you free Cuz’ you waste all of your days sitting bored out on the street Each night while you’re sleeping, well, you never really dream You close your eyes for a second and soon it’s morning - You don’t like all the kids that you’re with, but You don’t like yourself enough to be alone Be alone - Watch the pavement as it rains Little circles turn it dark as the summer sheds it’s shame And the day dreams in your head make life seem so plain You envision higher spirits, it doesn’t change a thing Years from now, when you’ve left this hollow town You return to find it spring time, bulbing tulips on the ground And the sun heats the pavement ‘till it’s warm to the touch You left her so fast, never cared for it much - All your friends they call you up, saying “let’s have fun,” but you’re tired and you’ve had enough - Listen closely to the wind Singing all the songs you wrote out on the front porch as a kid And maybe it’s the many years that make you forget This place is oh so lovely, this place is different Think about that August night you got laid near the tree All the times you got so high, yeah you could barely speak All the girls you brought home, only to deceive And the one you truly loved, she broke your heart in three - Maybe soon we will find our cells united You always will fall asleep to television Maybe it’s not you, maybe it’s me

Everything Is Good _________________ Good Wrong Real Right Everything Is Good, yeah Everything Is Good But I feel like I should leave Well I probably should, If I only could Everything is wrong, yeah everything is wrong Like a fist tight full of sand Before long, it falls away it’s gone And everything is real, yeah everything is real Wash the makeup, lose the mask Inside you feel, emotion you can’t steal Maybe you were right, yeah you were probably right I’ve been sleeping while awake Well I decided you were right, yeah you were right - Is it gone Most of my mind Well I feel this way Much of the time Is it wrong Is it right It confuses me Most every night And I barely sleep I never dream I just lay and stare straight through the ceiling

Tall Tales ________ I’m alone Sitting on the back porch of a party house, no ones home I’m a stupid rule No one follows me because I’m so uncool What if I wast my life Workin’ a dumb shit job, nine to five daily grind Oh I wish you’d please Disregard these things I’m better than I seem - I come on too strong Would you tell me if I’m wrong? Fall down next to me And I’ll fill up your dreams Have I waited too long, now Are my chances gone? Would they change your mind? My Tall Tales of a better life - Oh when we first met At that dance party I left my words un-said You’re so beautiful The way you move your feet would you fall away with me I would show you love Like a movie scene I’d steal your hand and run Take you anywhere If the world’s too small the moon is just right there - I come on too strong Would you tell me if I’m wrong? Fall down next to me And I’ll fill up your dreams Have I waited too long, now Are my chances gone? Would they change your mind? My Tall Tales of a better life

Easy ____ Wouldn’t it be Easy To pack all my things Jump on a plane, or train, or car Don’t tell anyone Now, wouldn’t it be sleazy To leave in a day New Years morning I’ll sail away Would you remember me? - Yeah where would I end up? Where would I end up? - Wouldn’t it be Easy To forget everything Clear out your mind and put memories aside Oh maybe in time Let’s make it Easy Try and be happy When it’s all deceiving just out of reach Step closer to me - Yeah where would I end up? Where would I end up? - On the outside of town Oh, buried in the ground On the Golden Gate On the Empire State Wouldn’t it be Easy, oh to just run away Got your life in a suitcase, and you’re leaving today

I’m talkin’ about a Time Machine - Sever the handshake and turn your back to the Cold steel knife of an et tu brute backstab You lay there bleeding The blood of your guilt Oh just wishin’ for a Time Machine Mother I have married someone I hate Mother I have married someone I cannot stand Even to talk to What wrong did we do? Oh I wish I had a Time Machine - Don’t you notice anything, how Memories feel more, real when you’re dreaming And don’t you notice anything, or is it everything? I’m talkin’ about a Time Machine ______ Ocean ______ Tell me about the three weeks you spent back in Eden I’ll bet you had fun as you should And tell me about the summer that you spent down in Florida I’ll bet you met everyone you could No you don’t talk to anyone but yourself With your feet in the Ocean and head laying up in the clouds While my body lays over the Ocean Tell me about your best friend when he was just a kid Did he tell you all of his secrets Tell me about your lover when she left you for another and You wanted her to stay but she can’t No you don’t talk like anyone but yourself With your feet in the Ocean and head laying up in the clouds While my body lays over the Ocean

World War Me ____________ All my heartache is leaving town I put it on an airplane that got shot down World War Me is happening Love is an old book I never read Written in a language I barely understand World War me is happening I gave you my heart while you were on vacation And by mistake you left it at the railroad station And the sun beat down, heating up the pavement And it burned so black they all tried but couldn’t save it Now I’m just heartless and hate everything I’m cold and I’m callous and downright mean Would you lend me your heart and maybe you’ll see Oh the difference some happiness could do for me - World war three Happens in my head World War Me I’m givin' up instead Honestly It’s happening - And I gave you my thoughts while you were out on business They were all full of love and brimming with kindness But the tax on your mind is ever relentless And you say that you’re grateful for second opinions Now you’re back home and things aren’t so easy Yeah the house is a mess and the dishes are dirty Oh we only have time for things that are greedy No one told us that love life would ever be easy - World war three Happens in my head World War Me I’m givin' up instead Honestly It’s happening - To you… And you… Call a medic I’m not feeling fine I’ve got head trauma be it rain or shine And the United Nation never seems to find the time To intervene and stop the war inside my mind Can it be… - World war three Happens in my head World War Me Giving up instead Honestly It’s happening It’s World War Me
