Standing
Music and lyrics by Noah Watson
All vocals and instruments performed by Noah Watson

If you're waiting for your walls to fall
If you're standing at the edge of it all
If you can't find peace and you're sick of it all
Just start cracking your walls
They'll eventually fall

Forgive my soul
Everyone gets lost sometimes
Your walls will fall
But, it takes broken hearts and knuckles to know
Well, I know

Standing

I Dream of You
Original lyrics by Marjorie Goetschius and Edna Osser
Music and additional lyrics by Noah Watson
All vocals and instruments performed by Noah Watson

I dream of you more than you dream I do
How can I prove to you this love is real?
You're mean to me, more than you mean to be
How can I make you see the way I feel?

When I'm so close to you, the world is far away
The words that fill my heart, my lips can't seem to say
I want you so, more than you'll ever know, more than you dream I do
I dream of you

Fight
Fight
I'll fight with all my might and I won't stop until we can be together again
Will you wait for me, my girl, my one and only lover?
And if you won't, I might as well surrender

When I'm so close to you, the world is far away
The words that fill my heart, my lips can't seem to say
I want you so, more than you'll ever know, more than you dream I do
I dream of you

I Dream Of You

Brilliant Colors
Music and lyrics by Noah Watson
All vocals and instruments performed by Noah Watson

Am I insecure, or just unsure...temporarily blind to a life I adore?
It's dark sometimes, but it's all in my mind
The sun will still shine even if I do not

Kiss me on the lips before you go, as the sun goes down in flames
I start to feel a chill as you close the door
Lucky, Cold is my middle name

Now, to kill my time, I find reason in rhyme, take my drinks with a lime, and break down quite a lot
Well, enough is enough
It's time to get tough
It's time to grow up, and become someone I was not

I can't stay here so here I go, to the beat of my own drum
You've gotta ride the wave even if it's slow, 'cause your speed only matters some

I'm a broken, stained glass window
You're the sunlight shining through
And, together we make brilliant colors...emerald, violet, bittersweet, marigold, and blue

Brilliant Colors

Airbag
Music and lyrics by Thom Yorke & Colin Greenwood
All vocals and instruments performed by Noah Watson

In the next world war, in a jackknifed juggernaut, I am born again 
In a neon sign, scrolling up and down, I am born again

In an interstellar burst, I'm back to save the universe

In a deep deep sleep with a love you never had, I am born again
In a fast german car, I'm amazed that I survived, an airbag saved my life

In an interstellar burst, I am back to save the universe

Airbag

Fire Escape
Music and lyrics by Noah Watson
All vocals and instruments performed by Noah Watson

Like fossils in the rocks, the clouds are beautiful
And I don't see the weight of life or loneliness as dark clouds anymore
Yeah, we're alone...alone in this together

You weren't home when they came inside
I couldn't run
Dead if I tried
I couldn't know what they would do
When I was in pain, I had in mind the image of you

Sit and wait on this fire escape all alone, in the dark

Fire Escape

Morse Code
Music and lyrics by Noah Watson
All vocals and instruments performed by Noah Watson

Watching the wind
Feeling a smile
Morse from birds coding for miles

Left on a whim
Left to get out
Now there's a force holding me down

There's a thunderstorm coming down the road
I can feel it coming now

Watching the wind
Feeling a smile
Morse from birds
Coding for miles

There's a thunderstorm coming down the road
I can feel it coming now

There's storm cloud in a sunset, like a fireball burning bright
But it's not my place to be here, in between the dawn and night
Never running from the ghosts of your problems
Always looking through your scope at the next one
Finding money, chasing honey, always need some
Just keep pushing 'til you die die die
As I fly today, I watch the world slow down
All the boats that are stuck in the Atlantic, well, it scares me now to think about
I don't want my best two weeks back, but with someone who won't shut me out

I can feel it coming now

Morse Code

Somehow
Music and lyrics by Noah Watson
All vocals and instruments performed by Noah Watson

I know you were feeling something
I could feel it, too
So, I'm gonna leave my window open, baby, just for you
I hope you come through
I do
Any day, if you're coming through, then I will be right here waiting for you

Oh, before now, I didn't want to be in love at all
But somehow, you have struck a chord and struck it loud
For now, I'll try not to feel too high
Cause when I crash down, oh, I hit so hard

I was waiting on a clear sign, baby, I was waiting for your heart to call
All I heard was a curious static, like you really weren't there at all
When it comes to love, though, I take my time
I know this could all be a dream somehow

Somehow

Shelby
Music and lyrics by Noah Watson
All vocals and instruments performed by Noah Watson

Shelby, I just read your letter, and we can make a good thing better 'til it's right...all right
Oh me, I don't have a number one record, but I can write a love song with a sweet melody

Shelby, you helped me see when I was blind
Shelby, you showed me love that I couldn't find

Shelby, if you wanna be together, or if you wanna keep it un-teathered, it's cool with me
I know I can be your perfect lover, and I will always keep you covered so you won't feel cold

Shelby, you helped me see when I was blind
Shelby, you showed me love that I couldn't find

I know you worry
I know you care about me...but don't
Anyone can see I am just your average man, and that's what I'll always be
So I say...
Can't wait one minute
Can't wait one minute longer
I'm out
Time is all I need, so just let me be alone
Forget about me

I slip back into my cave of thoughtless wonder
The air feels like the mist from a waterfall
A lightning flash emits and I pause to hear the thunder
Silent moments pass and it never comes, and all I hear is my heart beating slow and strong

Shelby

In A Pocket
Music and lyrics by Noah Watson
All vocals and instruments performed by Noah Watson

I don't need your sunlight, Sunshine
I don't have to be lit to feel alright
Cause there ain't no right or wrong life
Well we all get scared, but we must fight

And I don't belong in a pocket or wrapped around a finger

Of the hundred million things to do, all I wanna do is be with you
But if that means I belong to you, you always knew, that won't do
You always knew that I don't belong in a pocket or wrapped around a finger

In A Pocket

I Ain't Gonna Waste No More Time
Music and lyrics by Noah Watson
All vocals and instruments performed by Noah Watson

Now I'm on a roll, so I ain't gonna waste no more time
Someday I'm gonna die, so I ain't gonna waste no more time
When it all goes wrong, then you make things right

I was so in love with you, baby, and you knew it this whole time
You just had me rollin' over and over
It blows my mind
It felt so wrong, but it was your right

In this life, people come and go, so you'd better know how to let them go, 'cause you can't control how they spend their time
It may seem wrong, but it is their right

Life is gonna kill us if we don't mellow out
Free me from your toolbox
Find somebody else to be your hammer 'cause I am no longer yours to slam around

I Ain't Gonna Waste No More Time

King
Written and performed by Noah Watson

I've been waiting so long to see you
How've you been, my friend, how've you been?

I've been livin' rock & roll

I awoke... got me feelin' like the king

King

Another State
Music and lyrics by Noah Watson
All vocals and instruments performed by Noah Watson

Driving on the interstate
Windows down
The air feels great
On a self reflecting trip
My car becomes a wayward ship

The truth comes walking through the door like a lighthouse pointing me to shore
The rolling fog, it burns away
It's clear I'm another state

The sun keeps popping through the clouds as the voice inside my head gets loud
It speaks of what I already know but it took this trip to finally stay glued

I hear the road right through the floor
My buzzing phone, a gentle roar
The fog begins to roll back in, so it's time for me to dip again

Another State

Time To Move On
Music and lyrics by Tom Petty
All vocals and instruments performed by Noah Watson

It's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going

Broken skyline, movin' through the airport
She's an honest defector
Conscientious objector
Now her own protector

Broken skyline, which way to love land
Which way to something better
Which way to forgiveness
Which way do I go

Time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going

Sometime later, getting the words wrong
Wasting the meaning and losing the rhyme
Nauseous adrenaline
Like breakin' up a dogfight
Like a deer in the headlights
Frozen in real time
I'm losing my mind

It's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going

Time To Move On

Cactus Without Needles
Music and lyrics by Noah Watson
All vocals and instruments performed by Noah Watson

I'm a train that's coming off the tracks
In a minute I'll be sliding on my back, but they'll put me back together pretty fast
I'm a plane that has no strip to land
I'll do tricks and entertain them when I can, but I don't think they'll ever understand

Well, I'm hooked on this prescription
I'm down to one or two
Now I've got to find another high to get me through
I spent two short weeks in heaven but now I must come down
I'm a cactus without needles
A king without his crown
I'll be cleaning out my dressers and looking under things
I'm a group that's not together
An eagle without wings


Cactus Without Needles

My Song Of Endless Love
Music and lyrics by Noah Watson
All vocals and instruments performed by Noah Watson

If you listen closely, you can hear my song of endless love, always
You love my singing but you can't hear my song, cause someone else plays theirs louder
But I won't play louder cause there will be someone who loves my singing more than you do
And if you won't listen, I'll politely bow and move along to my next show
Where the crowd will listen and my songs will fill them up, and make them feel like you used to
And you can join them
I never will refuse to sing for you, my song of endless love
Maybe someday, you will fall in love and sing to me like I have for you
And maybe you won't
My strings may go unplayed and take on rust and fall out of tune
But I'll keep on playing for those who love my words and melodies
If I must, I will sing for you, alone
