Hey Dadda

Somebody show us what’s going on
We can’t solve it with these pieces
I need a first-hand experience 
damned if we say it damned if we don’t let it out 
It’s a long way from home 
it takes a lot to be alone 
I thought we started off strong 
but now we’re down in the ninth 
and we’re swinging for the fences; oh￼

I tried to build a fort in the rain
I tried to keep the wind from coming in
I know that we sin
And we said our sorries 
But the hurt still eats away
When is enough going to change?
How much pain is enough pain?
I feel like we’re sane
And I know that we’re delivered from the tide that berries us
Call it a hunch
Call it a blindside left hook punch
If it happens again
We’ll be out for the count
No chance of recovery; no

We’re stronger now
can we help each other work it out?
We’re not hiding from the past
We tried what it gave us but now it’s time for something good

Tonight I’m cutting red tape
While it’s exploding and bursting
It leads into the next phase
It’s just a setback no don’t be sad
We’ll just relearn the basics
Bring the glue ‘case I brake it
I know it’s hard to tell
I got my head on right but my hands don’t work well

I tried to build a fort in the rain
I tried to keep the wind from coming in
I know that we sin
And we said our sorries 
But the hurt still eats away
When is enough going to change?
How much pain is enough pain?
I feel like we’re sane
And I know that we’re delivered from the tide that berries us
Call it a hunch
Call it a blindside left hook punch
If it happens again
We’ll be out for the count
No chance of recovery; no

We’re stronger now
can we help each other work it out?
We’re not hiding from the past
We tried what it gave us but now it’s time for something good

Show Us What’s Going On

Lyrics:

“The candle wax is a lake 
this wick is doomed 
while I chase away the afternoon 
Caught in a love song 
it’s not a religion 
but I got to make some good out of me 
so give me more
 I must be dreaming
 I can’t take back anything I’m feeling
 I still need more 
takeoff the ceiling 
I rue the day our bodies separate”

Lyrics:

“There could have been some plan
Like it or not
Darling, they’re not on your side

It was coming in hot
For crying out loud
We couldn’t figure out this town
So I’m just walking around

Turn around quick 
Now about-face
I got this soda pop rock in my head
I’m just messing with the sound”

Messing With The Sound

If rock n roll won’t sing
I’ll go find you a brand new thing
If your skipping stones just sink
I’ll go chisel down the rocks until they skip across this lake ￼ 

If your hands won’t move
I’ll lend my hands to you
Trust my arms if you fall
Until my body loses the strength to carry on 
Until my body..

Mental Physics

"when we were young
we were so smart
up through the clouds
up to the stars

maybe we can start from the end (can we)
start over again
(can we) start over again

then we got old
things fell apart
we lost track
of what we wanted from the start

maybe we can start from the end (can we)
start over again
(can we) start over again

baby"

Of The Sea

Skipping Stones

Lyrics:

“So this is silence
It trickled in
Where did it begin?
So this is bent now
Stupid screw is loose
How could you lead me through the whole night blind
I called you thousands of times
How could you leave me with the whole nighttime wandering, wondering why?

Now this is over
But you can’t even care to understand

How could you lead me through the whole night blind
I called you thousands of times
How could you lead me through the whole nighttime wondering, wondering why?

I know I’m coming on stronger than you’d like
But I couldn’t leave you alone, girl, through the night.

I couldn’t leave you alone”
