Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Who were you?
Who am I?
What did we do except get high?

I was young,
You were beautiful,
We had everything we could ever want.
The queen- she lives a sheltered life,
devoid of inspiration.
The drones are stomped,
and gobbled up-
the martyrs of her federation.

Chorus:

Wishing on these million stars,
is tedious to most,
but soon I will be cashing in,
this karma that I've grossed.

This crossroads where I lie,
The corner of stay inside or try,
Invisible become the flames,
when viewed behind those rose colored shades.

Verse 2:

The pain- it made me interesting,
what I couldn't define was mine.
And I didn't learn a single thing.
Regardless, I feel fine.
So throw on a jazzy serenade,
so we can lay and waste the day.
Emotions and thoughts, 
they shuttle away-
the revolution of record play.

The static shock- defibrillates.
Your kindly heart, at rest; deflates.
Their lovely words, they resonate.
When all the other paths converge,
it's fate.

Chorus:

Wishing on these million stars,
is tedious to most,
but soon I will be cashing in,
this karma that I've grossed.

This crossroads where I lie,
The corner of stay inside or try,
Invisible become the flames,
when viewed behind those rose colored shades.

Bridge:

I 
Don't know why.
We could have all these problems
when we're so in love.

And I
do not care.
Cause as long as you need me,
I'll always be there.

Chorus:

Wishing on these million stars,
is tedious to most,
but soon I will be cashing in,
this karma that I've grossed.

This crossroads where I lie,
The corner of stay inside or try,
Invisible become the flames,
when viewed behind those rose colored shades.

Just A Song About A Girl

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Can we talk about the wind?
Intangible feelings that box you in.
I have found a way to escape.
Maybe you'll try it one day,

(someday.)

And why do you keep your hair so long?
There's so many things to get it caught on.
And when will your love escape your mind?
You know it makes me cry every time.

(all the time)

(Chorus 1):

I... 3x
I love you,
I love you.

(Verse 2):

Our time for now has gotten short.
Like a loud noise without report.
So have you taken my advice?
Cause I think you look real nice.

(real nice)

(Chorus 2):

Oh... 3x
Oh my God,
Oh my God.

(Bridge):

Sleeping is a sacrifice,
we all make,
sometimes.
Maybe I will love again,
But not for now.

And dying is a part of life.
We'll all die,
sometime.
I'll follow you into the void,
but not for now.

(not right now)


(Chorus 3):

I...
Ohhh...
You...

You were mine

(you were mine)

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

The prairie rolls below me like the gently rolling sea,
I've yet to find another place so flat and full of peace.
There's farmland far as I can see a-paved with gold and green.
The natural pleasures the abound just waiting to be seen.

Bridge 1:

Horizon stretches all around,
my eyes survey the level ground.
The rusted station-wagon chugs along,
and I am homeward-bound.

Verse 1 cont.:

the bluffs they rise before me, giants in ancient repose.
Down in through the creekbeds where the wild gooseberries grow.
I climb up to the highest point, a neighbor to the stars.
Where I only catch glimpses of the headlights of the cars.

Bridge 1 cont.:

On this hilltop where no-one's sin,
can follow me- where no one's been.
It's here I'll settle down and live-
the old land of my kin.

Chorus:

The Illinoisan Poet,
trying to stake a claim for him.
Putting oil in my lantern,
when the light starts glowing dim.

Behold the wild violets,
growing free out in the yard.
You wouldn't think to know it, 
but this simple life is hard.

Verse 2:

A fault line grinds against itsself,
a jarring crackling quake.
It causes things to stir and shift,
and people all to shake

It finds something inside us,
and it shuffles it around.
It makes for crazy aftermath,
but such a soothing sound.

Bridge 2:

Time and time again my world 
it has been ripped apart,
the lay-man would roll up his sleeves
and call it a fresh start.

Verse 2 cont.:

So I go about rebuilding,
and a-sweeping out the dust.
And building new foundations,
of a home I'll build for us.

They say this land's corrupted,
by politicians and their greed.
But I've found everything,
up in this land that I could need.

Bridge 2 cont.:

This Land of Lincoln here,
it is the place where I was born.
Where you can always find a friend,
and shelter from the angry storm.

Chorus:

The Illinoisan Poet,
trying to stake a claim for him.
Putting oil in my lantern,
when the night starts closing in.

Behold the wild violets,
growing free out in the yard.
You wouldn't think to know it, 
but this simple life is hard.
