TEXAS:
Both of my brothers ran away from home then,
Both of my brothers ran away from home then,
Took their lives down in Texas,
Met their wives down in Texas,
Won’t you agree that,
My brother’s learning,
All sorts of freedoms,
That come when you don’t have to worry,
About Anything
We’ll jump the train track, and we’ll swim the river,
I’ll walk the difference, if you find The Giver,
You climb the tree, and stand on the edge,
Let the wind take your wings, and leave here like me,
Oh my brother don’t do that, you’ll land down flat on your back,
What comes after that, a trip to the doctor,
They find nothing wrong, with you and your legs,
And they let you go free, to live here like me.
Won’t you agree that,
My brother’s learning,
All sorts of freedoms,
That come when you don’t have to worry,
About Anything

SUMMER:
I’m the one who can’t sit still,
I’m the one who knows what’s real,
I’m the one who waits for warmer times
You’re the one who feels fine,
Doesn’t take long to get cold at night,
Where did you find yourself in the morning,
I never wear my Sunday Best,
You never wear that Sunday Dress,
We both spend our holidays in bed
I’ll step outside to see the sun,
You stay indoors to see no one,
This morning it was Winter, but now it’s Spring
I can see the Summer,
Shining through your window,
I can see the Summer,
I can see the Summer
“Put the bottle down,” he says, “I’m gonna call the police,”
Don’t drink that its ruin, my father says it’s poison,
Just one taste it feels, just like power,
But nobody witnessed, and we drank it down like a potion
You know my doors open
I can see the Summer,
Shining through your window,
I can see the Summer,
I can see the Summer
How do I know what you feel,
When we don’t talk much about how we feel,
All the words you never said,
Are probably the same words that I never said
I don’t want you to ever say you’re not coming home,
You know my doors open.

T-SHIRT GIRL:
Don’t worry about me
I’m doin’ just fine
But how’s your mother
She doin’ alright?
Yea this ole’ t-shirt
These dusty jeans
You’re lookin’ better
Than I’ve ever seen
And in the morning when I call, to take back everything I said
My words get thin, your cheeks they blush, we end up back in bed
The hurtful words of a drunken kid
I’m barely listening
To a word you speak
Then how’s it different
Then just last week?
You think it’s working
I have to disagree
You take for granted
Everything you see
And in the morning when I call, to take back everything I said
My words get thin, your cheeks they blush, we end up back in bed
The hurtful words of a drunken kid

PRETTY LADY:
Pretty Lady walking down the street
Don’t you ever wanna look at me
I just wanna know about the things she does
Pretty Lady walking up to me
Do you wanna run away for free
I’m just a kid with a heart that’s made of gold
In a messed up world where nothing’s working
I try my best just to make it all make sense
Tie my shoes at the bottom of the ocean
Things are easy down here
If I climb to the top of everything
Will I know just what it takes?
To be a king in your head, but just a kid at heart
I try to leave but I won’t get far
Pretty Girl you’re the blood to my heart
Sounds silly but I’m feelin’ like I need you
Put your books down come with me
I’ll show you everything there is to see
It’s a matter of then, or Right Now…
In a messed up world where nothing’s working
I try my best just to make it all make sense
Tie my shoes at the bottom of the ocean
Things are easy down here
If I climb to the top of everything
Will I know just what it takes?
To be a king in your head, but just a kid at heart
Oh, oh when we saw the Sun
And it changed most everyone
Now I breathe in the dust
And it fills up my lungs
And I breathe easy…

GUY LIKE THAT:
Whatcha gonna do with a guy like that
Does he wonder, does he feel, does he ever fight back
Kids in town and the kids at home
It’s a matter of time ‘for we all feel alone
Remember that time we ran so free
Meet me by the river at a quarter to three
Call to the Heavens and call to the Sun
Everything we worked on never felt done
In America,
You can do most anything
If you got your friends
And the daylight that they bring
But the worst mistake that you ever made was dyin’ too young
You try to make it up to me, but you’ve come undone
Whatcha gonna do with a guy like that
Does he wonder, does he feel, does he ever fight back
Kids in town and the kids at home
It’s a matter of time ‘for we all feel alone
In America,
You can do most anything
If you got your friends
And the daylight that they bring
But the worst mistake that you ever made was dyin’ too young
You try to make it up somehow, but you’ve come undone
Build up a castle just to tear it down
What you don’t know then, you’ll know now
Oh my friend it’s never too late
If you find what you’re missin’ we can celebrate
In America,
You can do most anything
If you got your friends
And the daylight that they bring
But the worst mistake that you ever made was dyin’ too young
You try to make it up to me, but the song is done

OUTER SPACE:
Yesterday I found out how we met at the Salt Lake Lights
Are you comfortable, I’m comfortable here
We’re just two kids in love, finding out what we’re made of
In the darkness, I’ll carry you on my back
All my life is out of place
And all my friends are in outer space
What do we do about it now
Nothin’ much but wait it out
All we found is a little bit of light in the darkness
Chase me north or chase me south, I’ll come back around
All my life is out of place
And all my friends are in outer space
What do we do about it now
Nothin’ much but wait it out

WINDOW:
Don’t look out your window
It’ll just make you sad
Blank parking lots and empty churches
A world that left you in bed
Are you ever coming
Back home to see your family
Sleep in parking lots and empty churches
See the road pass beneath
All you have to do is think about
The Sun when it shines
The Birds when they sing
The Wind when it roars
Or a Summer breeze
Your feet in the grass
And your head in the clouds
Come on, you’re almost there
Come on, you’re almost there
All you want, and all you need is here
Oh my brother,
Are you worried at all?

ALL SHE DOES IS WORKIN’:
Do you ever wonder?
All she does is workin’
All I do is miss you
Do you miss me back?
You can come on over
We’re just having a party
Everyone’s invited
Come kick it at my house
OH YEA!
I can barely function
I’m too drunk to think straight
What’s the point in waiting?
I’m tired I wanna sleep
Wake up from this nightmare
Don’t you worry I’m here
Broken but it’s OK
This is all a dream
OH YEA!
You can come on over
We’re just having a party
Everyone’s invited
Come kick it at my house
OH YEA!

Dream State

DREAM STATE:
Take back all the words that you said that you never meant, honestly
If I told you what it’s like, would you wonder what it’s like?
Tell me what you see at the top of the mountain, way up there
You have told me what it’s like, now I wonder what it’s like
And if I ever run away in the middle of the night, It’s cuz I’m lonely
Got nothing but the memory, running nowhere as fast as can be
And if I ever sign my name away you’ll know it’s cuz my clothes don’t fit
These bones like they once did, and I’m too tired to notice it
Don’t you sing it in your songs
Don’t you write it in your books
What’s the worst that’s ever happened
To the king of petty crooks
Don’t you tell it in your stories
Don’t you read it in the news
I will tell you all my problems
I couldn’t stop now, even if I wanted to
Won’t stop singing ‘bout the good in you
Won’t stop singing ‘bout you
Don’t you sing it in your songs
Don’t you write it in your books
What’s the worst that’s ever happened
To the king of petty crooks
Don’t you tell it in your stories
Don’t you read it in the news
I will tell you all my problems
I couldn’t stop now, even if I wanted to

INSTRUMENTAL VI:
I’ll try my best
But you put it all to rest
Do you know the story ‘bout the boy?
Left home too soon
Got caught up in a flash typhoon
Found out how big the world was
You try to sing the words, but you don’t know them
So you try your best
Walk south, downtown
Take a short cut underground
But you run into the kids you hate
You tell them off
And you fight them till they stop
But they never did anything
You try to sing the words, but you don’t know them
So you try your best

Wake Up

WAKE UP:
In the morning
When you wake up
Let the Sun in, we will enjoy the Summer
Let me near you
I’m better with you
And if you’re lonely, we will enjoy the Summer
Wake up from the sleep that you’re in
Let’s go outside and do something fun
My arms are removed from my shoulders
And placed on a shelf to grow older
Wake up from the sleep that you’re in
I’m tired and I wanna go do something fun
My head is removed from my shoulders
And placed back in a dark closet corner
In the morning
When you wake up
Let the Sun in, we will enjoy the Summer
Let me near you
I’m better with you
And if you’re lonely, we will enjoy the Summer
I feel much the same as I once did
Blank on just what I should be doing here
I’m ageless and faithless and worried
If I leave will you follow with me
Tell me ooooh,
When you feel ooooh,
Good enough toooo,
Sing along with me
In the morning
When you wake up
Let the Sun in, we will enjoy the Summer
Let me near you
I’m better with you
And if you’re lonely, we will enjoy the Summer

THE OTHER SIDE:
I found myself on the other side
Of a dirty beveled bathroom mirror
With the faucet water running thick
With my head sunk low and my hands held near
I try and get my body warm
So I place my hands by the space heater
I try and get the chill to move
From my heart to my hands, from my hands to the floor
Oooooh,
You and I speak freein’ words
But no one really hears you talk
And our colored lungs they fill with dust
As I shout to you and you shout to me
We were someone else there
Through the window we could see the moon
The quiet beams would touch our skin
And nothing ever feels this good
