1.
Light shines through darker days Eyes close then lose their way Slip away in the night while the whole town is asleep Caught between the space where you wanted to be Death acts and life reacts Spend time turning looking back Clues along the trail lead the following kind Over ground that seems to be new winding up the same every time
2.
Chasing time I can't help but miss you Chasing life Feels like you never left me Take more time To watch the falling leaves Take more time Take all the time you need I'll be here to comfort you But it's inside of you I'll be here to lift you up But it's inside of you I'll be here to care for you But it's inside of you It's inside of you We can give, give, give More than we receive We can love, love, love More than we hate And we can be It's all inside of you Take more time Take all the time you need I'll be here to comfort you But it's inside of you It's inside of you We can give, give, give More than we receive We can love, love, love More than we hate And we can be It's all inside of you [repeat] Inside of you Take all the time Take all the time you need [repeat] Take all the time you need
3.
Nobody’s going to fix her now But it’s a world full of trouble An American massacre In southern California But we’re reasoning with messengers Who sit and talk about the weather When it’s just another nightmare A slaughter of the children With the wolves out there And the bleeding hearts And the long, blank stares And the open mouths She had her last shirt on Now all stained with blood With nowhere to run And you sit and wonder whether anything could be done And I could climb a mountain But what am I going to find there? When nothing comes from nothing With every man an island And we’re reasoning with messengers Who try to pass for grown men And they’re coming up empty And they’re sending you their thoughts and prayers With the wolves out there And the bleeding hearts And the long, blank stares And the open mouths She had her last shirt on Now all stained with blood With nowhere to run And you sit and wonder whether anything could be done
4.
Ghosts in the room Tell me what to do Sunshine fights the crescent moon Tell me what to do Dig down below There's something in this home Speaking tongues I don't know There's something in this home Where did you come from Below or up above Love Hate Pull apart and break Fill in this grave Beside me where I lay Pack it tight with yesterdays Fill in this grave Where did you come from Below or up above

I got my own Idea of everything I got my own Idea of you I got my own That’s all that I poses I aint got a home But got my own address I’ve got my own Loneliness Uh huh Uh huh Trying my best To let in the open air But I got my own Cross to bear Leave it alone Que Sera Sera Its only time Just a matter of time You got your own Loneliness Uh huh Loneliness I know what you mean Your picture is a thousand words What’s on your mind Written on you’re your face Dragging my heals Looking for a place to stand I know the cracks Like backs of my hands Because I’ve got my own Loneliness Uh huh Loneliness Loneliness
7.
Du haut de tes yeux La mer emplie le ciel Je marche dans les cieux J'embrasse tes cheveux, de feu Brûle dans l’espoir d'un aveu D'un signe , une main, ton rire enfin, Et la nuit pour nous deux
8.
Let's do an old thing. Let's do an old thing. Let's make a tv with commercials on a scroll and a bedroom drive-thru. Or we could drive around, with all the windows down. Yah we could drive around, and play our mixtapes loud. It's just you and me, all day long, and we can do whatever we want. Put some scraps of paper in a popcorn bowl, let the scraps decide. Oh what is there to do in the summertime?
9.
How do you plan to find me alone my love How do you plan to keep me here Do the sands that hide me from you my love Do they ever call to you I don’t think you see me do you my love The scars and the hurt Do the stars that hide me from you my love Do they ever call to you Is it time to go up the crystal road Now that you have heard me my dear, my love Do the gods speak to you All the world has hid me from you my love The suns and the moons Is it time to go up the crystal road Think it’s time to go up the crystal road
10.
It's the same - the trees that scrape the sky dry river blowing by the blood behind your eyes It's the same - a battle rages on for everything beneath the sun It's the same - the lamps come on at night and lead you with their light back home to stay inside It's the same - we study maps 'cos grass is greener everywhere we turn It's the same - I think about those years when I was free and clear from all the looming fear It's the same - I dream about the days I couldn't tell you day from night
11.
Ain’t it funny how this town Swallows you up and spits you right out All that matters is the wind Seeking solace in what I can’t mend I missed the party, But I’m not sorry Spending the night in All that matters is the wind Ain’t it funny how things change Moves on without us Just like time And though you may curse my name My words will linger within your mind I missed the joke No, i don’t think I know it Will I ever get out of here? None of this will matter in a year I missed the boat But, hey wouldn’t you know it As long as I’ve got a grin All that matters is the wind All that matters is the wind All that matters is the wind All that matters is the wind All that matters is the wind
12.
Here's some grape juice i'll carry you, back to your shoes just so you know i got nothin to do but to shower you with songs that could split you in two here's my boots they will also carry you back to the place where we sang hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey hey... you know i adore you the more, more, more, more , more but how could you love, love , love, love, love love is a beautiful war I want more, more, more than i ever did before here's an Arnie it should serve as a sweet pick-me-up so we can talk late and let our hearts speak the necessary complexities just so you know i got nothin' to do but to shower you with songs that could split you in two just so you know i got nowhere to go but the home i built inside of your heart hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey hey... you know i adore you the more, more, more, more , more but how could you love, love , love, love, love love is a beautiful war I want more, more, more than i ever did before
13.
Well to all my friends that treated me so well You know I'm headed out to that Mission bell Gonna wash my soul, I'm gonna get it clean Headed down the border road called the El Camino Well I've been a prince, and you know I've been a post By a barbed wire fence and a murder of crows I'm leaving all I've loved and all I have seen Headed down the border road called the El Camino Headed down the border road called the El Camino Yeah my heart's grown sick, I got a shepherd's crook as a walking stick And I'm headed on Yeah, my heart's grown blue, I've done wrong by you I don't know what to do And I'm moving on, yeah I'm moving on One and one is two, and two and two is four I'm walking back and forth On your cracked tile kitchen floor With the orange juice and the sun that shines It really breaks my heart leaving you behind It really breaks my heart leaving you behind And all my ships have sailed away The price of this politic That there's plenty of time to pray And plenty of time to waste away Well to all my friends that I've loved the most You know I'm headed out to that other coast Gonna to wash my soul, gonna get it clean Headed down the border road called the El Camino Headed down the border road called the El Camino
