Waterfall

Feeling sorry is not enough
Your sympathy is bouncing off me
Like snowflakes off a windowpane
How I love, how I love
The gently furrowed lines above your eyes
They hardly meet my gaze
(Chorus)
There's a waterfall
We're headed for it
You tell me don't look down
We'll just ignore it
But I'm tired of seeing what I want to see
Instead of being who I want to be
Want to be
(oooh)
waterfall, waterfall
You're too careful, like a cat
You pussyfoot around my back
And you always run away
I should have seen it in your hands
The way they softly understand
And put my reckless words at bay
(Chorus)

Holes
04:24
|
|||
|
Pain is a bottomless pit
It'll swallow you whole
Stand at the edge of it
The deeper you look, the deeper it goes
For the present moment, all I see is you
Evanescent, glowing
All I see is you
Standing across the room
I feel your eyes, they awake me from my sleep
Every cell alive, I wanna be
The only thing you really see
For the present moment, all I see is you
Evanescent, glowing
All I see is you
Problems are passing by
There's always more problems to be found
Weeds that we pick today
Will leave more room for tomorrow's weeds to grow

Authenticity
Why do you run from me
Thoughts can buzz like bees in my head
Harder I try
Still the days slip by
End up with nothing
(Chorus)
We're treating water
My face gets older
If I don't try to reach for my dreams
I'll have no one to blame but me
Words that I keep inside
Seldom want to hide
Find a way to slide past the gates at night
One thing keeps me sane:
Nothing stays the same
Ever-changing
(Chorus)
When I am most in need
I can forget to bleed
Tears in a pillowcase
Offer consolation
consolation
consolation
consolation

Thank God For That
05:11
|

|
Once in a while I can lose my way
I forget who I am
Floating like a buoy in the ocean waves
No sight of land
Once in a while, every few years or so
I succumb to my fears
I'd really hate to leave this place without a trace
A name without a face
And maybe I'll never
See the end of the road
But at least I've got you
And thank god for that
I really should close the window
But the sound of the rain
Smoothes the edges of my pain
Washes everything in grey
I really should close the window
On tired dreams from the past
High hopes weigh heavy, when I really should say
Tant mieux, alas
And maybe I'll never
See the end of the road
But at least I've got you
And thank god for that
Maybe I've been given
All that I'm owed
But at least I've got you
And thank god for that

Blow It Down
04:45
|
|||
|
A house, filled up with lidless jars
The streets, cluttered with rusting cars
Trees line up the boulevards
Unpainted gates guarding gardenless yards
Oh let's build a house of cards
So we can blow it down
Dampness on my skin lingers
Can't get the rings of my fingers
The whole world is swelling in my head
Like the disappearing numbers
A never-ceasing hunger
I can't keep my eyes from the past
Let's build a house of cards
Hang a romance on our lucky stars
Oh let's build a house of cards
So we can blow it down
Pain in my body keeps burning
Making mistakes but I'm learning
How to get out of this place
Let's build a house of cards
Hang a romance on our lucky stars
Oh let's build a house of cards
So we can blow it down
Blow it down
