Like You're With Me

I come home after work
Put my feet up on the table and
Turn the TV on
People say the same old things they always say
But somehow
It's so much funnier when you're with me
And I've been seeing lots of friends
Going places I haven't been
And that's great
But it's just not the same
It's just not the same
As when you're with me
Keep myself busy every day
But I miss you all the same
Yeah I miss you
Your shirt it smells just like you
Might put it on just to
Feel like you're with me
Open the door and step outside
Sky is blue not a cloud in sight
It's like the world is happy to see me
Then I come home and you're not there
Empty couch and empty chair
And I'm talking to myself no one to hear me
And I've been seeing lots of friends
Going places I haven't been
And that's great
But it's just not the same
It's just not the same
As when you're with me
Keep myself busy every day
But I miss you all the same
Yeah I miss you
Your shirt it smells just like you
Might put it on just to
Feel like you're with me
Like you're with me
You're with me like
You're with me like
You're with me like
You're with me like
You're with me

Original Lies
03:09

Daily we await your choice of words
Fists of steel black and blue
Employed by the serpent
Revile and belittle
The more we shrink
The bigger, and bigger, and bigger
Your authority grows
Tall tall giant
Little boys and
Little girls
Original lies
Original lies
Original lies
Original lies
We're all human in the eyes of God
I pray you laugh I, pray you cry
Why don't you step into the garden
Where the green grass grows
Release your heavy burden
Let the water of life, flow
Just let it flow
Original lies
Original lies
Original lies
Original lies
Something's not right
The sun on my shoulder
It fades to night
And we're pushing boulders
With all of our might
And we're gettin' older gettin' older gettin' older
Original lies we made tonight
I'll cave tonight
Maybe I
Can't run and hide

Red and Blue

Born to be you
Born to be me
Rockabye baby
As you sleep
Learn to read
Learn to write
Letter's glowing
In the sky
Lead us home all the people cry
Red and blue on the same side
First crush
First kiss
Lavender love
Moonlit
Denny's and strip malls
After school
Blue collar
Monday through Friday
Nine to five
Never got the good grades
Debt builds and lights fade
Lead us home all the people cry
Red and blue on the same side
Pesticides and brown water
Cops killing brown daughters
Cities sprawl and rent soars
All the things you can't afford
Who to trust
Who to believe
Autocratic lies
On TV
Who to trust
Who to believe
Autocratic lies
On TV
Lead us home all the people cry
Red and blue on the same side
Lead us home all the people cry
Red and blue on the same side

Deeper

You fell from the sky and I don't know why
Now I'm so confused of what I should do
You open me wide see what's inside
Should I retreat is there enough of me
Deeper
Deeper
Deeper
With you
Are you all that you seem I can hardly believe
These glasses are rosy you're so nice and cozy
But the head space I'm in so frightfully dim
Don't know if I'm ready, heart's so unsteady
Deeper
Deeper
Deeper
With you

Stand Back and Fall Down
04:31
|

|
Sick and tired of living in shit
Curtain falls, lands on my head
Self-destruction and regret
Evil voices live inside my head
There's no one can make me heal
Let everyone make me feel
Stand back
And fall down
Stand back and fall down
Wear my heart on my sleeve
Letting all the colors fly free
Trees and mountains help me grow
But every day the city's where I go
Haven't got what it takes
I wanna give up every single day
Stand back
And fall down
Stand back and fall down
All these thoughts are in my head
All these fears so afraid
Wanna make them stop so I can live
Wanna open up let conscious give
Ruler says that I'm too short
Can't write what others wrote
So you just stand back
And fall down
Stand back
And fall down
Stand back
And fall down
Stand back
And fall down
Jump up stand tall
Jump up stand tall
Jump up stand tall
Jump up stand tall

Nice Try
06:34

Heard you talking about
How you want to get out
But you'll never have what they have
You'll always wait for the check
Over there on the east side of town
Where they have the finest wine around
But you'll never be what they are
You'll drive yourself around
I'll bring your coffee and your tea
But you don't really know me
You live in a world of your own
A world in which you own
Used to believe that it was true
You can do anything that you want to
But the lines the lines on my face
And the price the price of this place
Nice try
Nice try
Nice try
Nice try

Rock and Roll Man
04:05
|

|
Late night party lights
Three dollar beers
Loose buttons, loose jeans
Girls out there trying
Hot topic, hot pants
Cigarette lounge and dancing laughing
Man on the prowl
Cymbals crash, keys smash
Rise and swell
Voices lift up and take you somewhere
You'll gladly go
Cause you wanna know
What it's like to be a part of the ride
Rock and roll band
He's a young man
Rock and roll band
He's a young man
Singer sways side to side
Belts it out as the crowd cries and
The room is hotter energy rises
Pink cheeks flushed as we're dancin side by side
It's like a ride on a train steam rises
Energy burns as the countryside flies by
And you get on ready to go somewhere new somewhere old
You just know that it won't be
Rock and roll band
He's a young man
Rock and roll band
He's a young man

Ribbons in your hair, love
I thought of you
Flowers everywhere, love
I thought of you
Think of you in the morning
Think of you in the night
Think of you when I'm sleeping
Think of you all the time
Outside the wind is blowing
Still thinking of you
It may even be snowing
Still thinking of you
Think of you when it's sunny
Think of you when it rains
And I'll never be happy
If I don't see you again
If I don't see you again
So won't you take my hand, love
Say you're thinking of me
I promise to be yours, love
On bended knee
In the spring or the summer
Winter or fall
Whatever the season
I'm yours to call
I'm yours to call

Home Again

Home town
Old friends
Mom and pa
Together again
That old willow tree
Bends to forget
We carved our names
As the sun set
Home again
Home again
I'll never forget
The way it felt
To fall down
And get back up
That old corner store
With you favorite things
Mom and pa
Had to shut it down
Home again
Home again
Home again
Home again

You pluck the strings of your guitar
They are waiting you are a big star
I am yours and yours alone
But you're always coming then you go
You come home it takes a while
Your clock is backward you have jetlag
And I'm so happy when you're home
But you're always coming then you go
Then you go
Then you go
I'm so happy when you're home
But you're always coming then you go
But it's ok the space is nice
I think it's better to have time
Time to think and time to grow
So I guess it's time for you to go
Summer eases into fall
Days are short soon they'll call
And you'll be heading out the door
So I guess it's time for you to go
Then you go
Then you go
And you'll be heading gout the door
I guess it's time for you to go
I am yours and yours alone
And I know soon you're coming home
