Home Is Wherever the Heart Is

You'd be forgiven for asking what the hell it is I'm here for
The last time I stood here you wouldn't let me through the door  
'Cause I already said, you already know
We already did this a long time ago
 
Deep down I know I still ain't got what you need

It's bad but I've tried, and trust me, with all of my might             
I don't mind sleeping alone, but not every night
See, I'm feeling selfish, and why not?
I do good what do I got?

Well clearly, I really ain't got the thing you need
But, whatever you want, know it's a yes from me

I know it's bad, but I'm gonna say whatever you want me to say  
Why let a thing like integrity stand in my way
Perhaps I'll be honest tomorrow, but as for today

It's a yes, so long as you let me stay
It's a yes, just don't turn me away

Yes I know, I know
Understand that I know
I know it's bad but, maybe I'm no good
If it's bad, well, maybe I'm no good
Yes it's bad but maybe I'm no good
Yes it's bad but baby, I'm no good.

I'm No Good

Please don't put your rind upon my plate
You wanna chew the fat that's fine
I'll chew yours, you chew mine
Let's create a little clarity in mind

But please, don't point that thing at me
Don't wave it in my face
Coming in here, stinking out the place
Laying all the good to waste
       
I know you feel bad
And that don't feel good
But, I reckon if we only tried it could

But, it's suffocating don't you know?
This heavy feeling in the air
It ain't your fault, and it's not fair
Just try and be a little more aware

That this just makes me feel bad and that don't feel good
I reckon if we only tried it could
If I can't make it better for you, well
That's too bad

But, please don't put your rind upon my plate
I got things to do 
Got shit I'm going through 
Ain't we all got fat to chew

'Cause we all feel things
And they can feel strange         
But, the way you're going nothing's gonna change                 
If I can't make it better for you, well 
That's too bad

But, please don't put your rind upon my plate

Upon My Plate

Chasing the Moon

Rubbing smudges from my eyes
Now things are falling into focus
It's only now I realise
How much I let go by unnoticed

But now, now I see the birds

But somehow I was missing something
A little too self-involved I guess
'Cause I always made a point of looking
But I was too focussed on the emptiness

But now, now I see the space
Now I see the light

Living in a world of pure imagination
As if I were condemned to dream
But I've begun to see that magic 
Ain't nearly as unreal as in might seem

'Cause now, now I see the birds

And I wonder how one comes to see the things they couldn't see before
I was blind but now I see the beauty that I never truly saw 

And so, not another moment wasted
Oh, not another moment more

Now I See the Birds
