Say it with Song Lyrics

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me,
Anything.

Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing

 

I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love

 

I wanna read good news, good news
I wanna be innocent again

 

I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on Earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls, honey..
Is that true?

 

Saw your face, heard your name
Gotta get with you
Girls like girls like boys do
Nothing new
Isn't that why we came?
Tell me if you feel it too
Girls like girls like boys do
Nothing new

 

And it would take a time machine
To fulfill all of my fantasies
'Cause a hidden dream can be embarrassing
And the only thing that's sacred till the end

Every time I tempt fate
There's a major earthquake
Heard the people scream as the ceiling fell
Every building damaged
Only one left standing
It was Frank Lloyd Wright's Imperial Hotel

A rumination in my mind
Winding like the ramp at the Guggenheim
And I'm not there yet
But I'm feeling hesitant to build something that's sacred till the end

OR

And I'm not there yet
But I'm feeling confident to build something that's sacred till the end

(He did a very melancholic, stripped down solo album then later re-recorded the same album but more upbeat with a full band and rearranged the songs and lyrics.)

 

I've got a twenty dollar bill that says
You're out late night starting fist fights vs fences
In your backyard
Wearing your black eye like a badge of honour
Soaking in sympathy
From friends who never loved you
Nearly half as much as me

 

Moats and boats, and waterfalls
Alleyways, and pay phone calls
I been everywhere with you (that's true)

Laugh until we think we'll die
Barefoot on a summer night
Never could be sweeter than with you

And in the streets you run afree
Like it's only you and me
Geez, you're something to see

Oh, home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you
Oh, home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you

 

We've been riding down this highway now for all these years
Breathing in the dust along the way
But it's the kindness of a friend is what's remembered in the end
It is a debt that is a pleasure to repay

And it never feels like we're getting any older
But the memories build up around the eyes
And I need more fingers than I've got on my two hands
This life may be too good to survive

We were dressed to celebrate your wedding day
We marched along with the St. Anne's parade
Sang out our hearts while they sent away their dead
The sun shone on the river and we began our lives instead

And I'm up too damn early in the morning
But I can't remember ever feeling so alive
And I need more fingers to count the ones I love
This life may be too good to survive

 

And it never feels like we're getting any older
But the memories build up around the eyes

This part though

 

The world has crossed the threshold
And it's overturned the order of the soul

When they said repent
I wonder what they meant

 

Spring sweet rhythm, dance in my head
And slip into my lover's hands
Kiss me, won't you kiss me now?
And sleep I would inside your mouth

When I was a senior in high school we had to play a song for a literature class to analyze the poetic elements in the lyrics. I chose this song and only realized once it started playing it was too sexual for a high school class haha. That was an awkward few minutes.

 

Time
Has taken its toll on you
The lines that crack your face
Famine
Your body it has torn through
Withered in every place
Pestilence
For what you have had to endure
And what you have put others through
Death
Deliverance for you for sure
There is nothing you can do

 

Hellogoodbye - "Here"

I like where we are
When we drive in your car
I like where we are
Here
'Cause our lips can touch
And our cheeks can brush
Our lips can touch
Here
Well you are the one
The one that lies close to me
Whispers hello, I miss you quite terribly
I fell in love
In love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be
But here in your arms
I like where you sleep
When you sleep next to me
I like where you sleep
Here
Our lips can touch
And our cheeks can brush
Our lips can touch
Here
Well you are the one
The one that lies close to me
Whispers hello, I miss you quite terribly
I fell in love
In love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be
But here in your arms
Our lips can touch
Our lips can touch
Here
Well you are the one
The one that lies close to me
Whispers hello, I miss you quite terribly
I fell in love
In love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be
But here in your arms
Well you are the one
The one that lies close to me
Whispers hello, I miss you quite terribly
I fell in love
In love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be
But here in your arms
Here in your arms
Here in your arms

 

Cause now I'm a faaarmer
And I'm digging digging digging digging digging

 

I was nowhere, till you changed my mind
Love is sent through being good to you
Then you were somewhere, Somewhere hard to find
Only what you always were, it's true

I'm looking for an open door
Where I can sit and play in peace and quiet

Tomorrow changes
Fields of green today
Yesterday is dead, but not my memory
We were strangers
And then you came to stay
The sweetest spring old morning sings to me
So now I've found a living sound
That moves, that breathes, and then makes love to me

 

Take me, break me
Tell me a good one and maybe I'll cry
Go with me, show me
Tell me a good one and maybe I'll die
Lately I've been dancing in ceiling fans
Circled in secrets, playing a game
Well I know it sounds strange but it could be the other way
Round in a town where they don't know your name

 

Little girl in bloom
All the clouds will go drifting by
So sing your lullabying tune
Every word is in your eyes
As you sit and softly croon
