I can’t handle your casual cool
I can’t handle the way you’re thinking
Oh, the time it takes me to drink those thoughts away
I walked alone from the Golden Gate and watched the rich people in the bay
Just dreaming of a time when I could relax
But it’s a mistake for me to say that I will always feel this way
Give it a rest, just walk away
And I’ll hope you’re not thinking what I’m thinking if you’re thinking about it at all
I can’t handle that casual face staring at me so flat and calm
It’s a ticking bomb
It’s as if you’ve come undone
I walked alone through the Stockton tunnel heading somewhere that isn’t quite my home
My heart’s not where it used to be
But I’m just talking to hear myself think that I’m having a good time now
I can clearly see I don’t know what’s in front of me

You Drive Me Crazy
03:41
|

Do you really wanna lead us down that road?
We both know where it goes
There’s a difference between being right and being the one who thinks they’re not wrong
You drive me crazy
You speak me off my feet
We talk in circles every time we meet
Is it impossible?
We’re pulling us both back down
Is it impossible?
Are you really gonna turn and walk away?
I love you but I can’t stay
What’s the use of me admitting fault when you won’t believe a word I say?
Is it impossible?
When neither of us back down?

In waking dreams I’m not sure what more I could ask to have around
A few more hours at work and nights with you out on the town
My confidence was shaken
I’m not asking you to stay, I’m just asking you to wait
I don’t wanna make you change, I like who you are with me
Sometimes walking hand-in-hand I lose track of what time it is
Making those memories all the time, it’s the only shoe that fits
Stumbling, laughing we’re so drunk we wouldn’t notice half the world cave in
Bouncing through streets like tableaus, a beautiful silence without an end
Golden hair sway in the breeze and blue eyes glow in the sun
Acting tough and hiding out, you’re not fooling anyone
You have gotten where you are being a lonesome loaded gun
And I told you I’d follow you and that’s just what I have done
My confidence was shaken
You are what you are
We will get where we get to

Impossible Thoughts
04:07
|
|||
When you took my hand
You felt you could stand on my shoulders forever
And never touch the ground again
The words you command
Colour the world that we share with each other
When we are or are not together
But I should have known
What should you know?
The stones that we throw
What should we throw?
Would tumble and grow into
Impossible thoughts;
Bridges we can’t cross
The summer began
A sad, shifting current we both got caught up in
We struggled to fight as the tide came in
And you were my man
It meant so much to feel an understanding
Hand-in-hand we were taking what came to us
I had no plan
It was just nice that we found a connection
And I didn’t know it would mean this much
I’m sorry I ran
I didn’t know how to be what you needed
‘Cause I don’t even know how to be myself
The words we forgot
Making us what we’re not

Getting Weird
03:15
|
|||
You have a very comfortable bed
Is it weird?
Are we weird?
And even though we just met
We’re in here, getting weird
I know it’s a strange thing to ask
But sometimes my brain gets out of whack
I like the way you’re making me laugh
Is it weird? Is that weird?
And how you kiss while rolling in grass
Is that weird? Am I weird?
Do you wanna just pretend?
We did it the right way…
We don’t have to mind the rules…
You got your name around your neck
Is that weird? Am I weird?
I got the coolest mug I could get
It’s not weird, it’s not weird
I know it’s a strange thing to ask
But sometimes my brain gets out of whack
And you know it’s out of whack
And I know it’s out of whack
Do you wanna just pretend?
We did it the right way…
We don’t have to mind the rules
We’ll have a good time anyway
We could always make it up
No matter what our minds say…
I just wanna feel you up…

I'm Sorry I Love You
06:08
|

We’re barely young
You’re right, what’s the matter?
I’m still unsung
So what? So what?
I’m lost to everyone
Everyone’s been scattered – across what you know
What do you know?
I talk smack, it shoots back
My mind’s racked when it’s said and done
I try to approach you; you know it’s a problem
We’re so caught up we fail love
And make love despite it
In this situation we both lost the good fight for good
We both lost the good fight
We’re hardly young
You’re right, what’s the matter?
I’m still unsung
So am I, so what?
I’m lost to everyone
Everyone’s been scattered across what you know
What do you know?
I tried to approach you; you knew it was a problem
I talked smack, it shot back, my mind’s said and done
It’s all said and done, we’re all said and done
It’s all said
And it’s done

SEMANTICS
03:23

As of six o’clock today
It’s been a week since I have seen your face
And I can’t wish it away
I keep wondering where you took your face
I been over and over
Every emotion you could name
Going over and over, into revulsion
I really wish I could see your face
Where do you go when you leave me lonely for so long?
I’m out of control and I don’t think I’ll fix that with this song
At ten o’clock today
I was trying my best to forget your face
But I can’t wish it away
I keep wondering who’s taken my place

Rushing like a river
My life is like a sea
Fast and overwhelming
It washes over me
It tosses me about like sand upon a shore
Fast and overwhelming, it throws me to the floor
One, two, three, four
Numbers painted on our front door
One, two, three, four
Numbers on the clock and it’s starting to pour
Barriers lay before
The hope is to succeed
Fast and overwhelming
Fear of failure will impede
Blowing all around me, my future like the wind
Fast and overwhelming, it never seems to end
Fire with such fury is burning up my soul
Fast and overwhelming, it soon will take its toll
Rocky as a mountain as I’m falling to my death
Fast and overwhelming, it takes away my breath

A Summer in Los Altos
04:08
|
|||
I miss you so much when I see pictures of you laughing
They make me feel sad because I know that you aren’t really happy
When I think I understand
I know half of what you feel
Because you’re not what you seem to be
And when you try to take my hand
I won’t get just what is real
‘Cause you cannot give yourself to me
I miss your touch
I miss the way that I used to touch you
I miss your smiling blush
I miss telling myself I could trust you

The Sunny Side
06:44
|
|||
We wake up so early the Sun’s yet to ignite
But when light breaks through the room your eyes beam crystal blue
We lay and talk for hours ‘til our stomachs get loud
We kiss and laugh a lot
I’m calling you inside
I’m crawling through my life
I’m calling out to you
I’m crawling now it’s through
When we walk up your street we take the sunny side
You skip a step ahead and pull yourself into me
You smile and kiss my lips and everything slows down
The city starts to spin
It all works out somehow
You’ve still got my old phone and the rest of me
I’ve got that little pink dress you never got to wear
I came home one day and put you away in a drawer
I took your picture down
Don’t wanna see it no more
I’m running away from days my brain just can’t erase
Running on empty
The second time around
Stay away from Dave’s, I don’t wanna see you around
Those new friends that you made don’t like that place anyhow
I’m calling out to you
