The past is and the future might be I won’t know you, I won’t know me This world will no longer exist Replaced, reimagined, remixed I’ll know new, people by then And I’ll bounce back, and forth between friends Between friends Racing light, as if it might begin a tourist trying hard to just blend in The future does not exist Replaced, reimagined, remixed I’ll know new, people by then And I’ll bounce back, and forth between friends Between friends I’ll know new, people by then And I’ll bounce back, and forth between friends Between friends Replaced, reimagined, remixed Replaced, reimagined, remixed Replaced, reimagined, remixed Replaced, reimagined, remixed

She and He 01:43
She and he believe in different things She believes in life Oh, and he believes it’s trite She believes in love oh, and he really doesn’t She and he believe in different things She would walk in the dark and believe in a beautiful park And he would open his eyes and believe it was a bunch of lies She and he believe in different things He believes in her oh, and she believes they were destined to go far oh, and he believes they are… She and he believe in different things

do you think like me? question what it is to be? do you think like me? what’s it mean to be free? and hold me close when the snow comes we both want to know what it means just to be what’s it mean to be free? do you want to be left alone to be with me? judgment, thought and reasoning calculate at record speed hold me close when the night comes we both want to know what it means to think like me do you really think like me? does anybody think like me?

Some things change and some things don’t Some things only seem like they won’t a role, your soul, your way, astray You need some rules to keep you in line I need some rules that I can outshine to drift, a rift, with prayer, you there I see you as I am and as I want to be You see us connected through the sea Some things change and some things don’t Some things only seem like they won’t the years, will sear, His plan, can’t understand I see you as I am and as I want to be You see us connected through the sea I see you as I am and as I want to be You see us connected through the sea You see us connected through the sea

Prettiest girl I know Not by a lot though Not by a lot though not by a lot Who will look after me when the sun runs out of steam and the misty morning misses everything by a lot Who will stand by my side when I reach the end of the ride and when I miss another target wide by a lot Prettiest girl I know Not by a lot though Not by a lot though not by a lot

I know it’s been a couple of months Since I’ve prepared a meal for us I know it’s been several weeks since I’ve dusted the blinds I know it’s been over a year That you asked me to shave my beard And I stay up really late every night trying hard to unwind It seems that I don’t try very hard To keep a trimmed and tidy yard Have you noticed lately I have other things on my mind I see the dishes in the sink And I realize the garbage stinks I’m quite aware how badly my shoes need a shine It’s just my nine to five I’m under fire On the front line Defending the empire Honey I’m home, and how was your day You say you had a pile of bills to pay I try to tell you I appreciate all that you do And look at the messes they’ve made These kids are trying to drive you insane I try again but it’s hard to compare the me with the you Smiles, laughs, and finally to bed A sympathetic nod of the head I think we’re both just trying our best to do what we do I know she doesn’t understand She’s my woman, and I’m her man I try my best to keep us intact, it’s all I can do It’s just our nine to five We’re under fire On the front line Defending the empire

How’d this all come to be rocks and fire and dirt and trees and me Why are there birds and bees and squirming, swimming, thinking things and me Where’d it all begin How’d it all begin Why’d it all begin When did it all begin To end How did you come to me with obvious deficiencies it’s fine now you’re mine How can I live without the one I care so much about you’re mine it’s fine Where’d it all begin How’d it all begin Why’d it all begin When did it all begin To end

Tiny Good 03:12
Take care of you and I’ll take care of me what’s right for you shouldn’t it be right for me tiny good tiny god, to each his own what have I done I should’ve turned it more to the right what have I done tonight tiny good tiny god, to each his own tiny good tiny god, to each his own of the things that are that they are of the things that are not that they are not tiny good tiny god, to each his own tiny good tiny god, to each his own tiny good tiny god, to each his own

What brought you to me What brought me to you What does this all mean All the things we do I’ve just been sitting here drinking beer trying to make sense of all the diagrams the charts and graphs they’ve always left me on the fence What does this all mean All the things we do What brought you to me What brought me to you What brought you to me What brought me to you What does this all mean All the things we do
