I Got Time
That's the greatest picture that I have ever seen
So I stole for myself so you could see just what I mean
And this alluvial fan it represents my life
I've got the strength to move, but why should I
I got time
I got time
That's the greatest story I have heard so far
Lilies in the toilet spiders driving motorcars
All the evidence would seem to point out that
I'm just another choke in your wheels and that you got me trapped
I got time
I got time
You take the weight of a heavy notion
I'll take the wave from coast to ocean
That's why the ride is light
It's all alright
It's alright
This alluvial fan it represents my life
I've got the strength to move, but why should I
You take the weight of a heavy notion
I'll take the wave from coast to ocean
I got time
I got time
Because of You
I can stand here and do this again
I can say but where to begin
I know that I'm caving in
Because I'm heavy I'm heavy
So the wonder of you is done
I'm tired and bloody and good to be gone
I know that you did me wrong
'Cause I'm ready I'm ready
As for the part of having something more
Let's not pretend it's like it was before
I wish I could say that it's not because of you
But it's because of you
I've a dark and snowy remembrance of this
But remind me again of what I'm gonna miss
When all you do is let me down
You better tell me something and tell it to me now
As for the part of having something more
Let's not pretend it's like it was before
I wish I could say that it's not because of you
But it's because of you
And are you sorry
As for the part of having something more
Let's not pretend it's like it was before
I wish I could say that it's all because of you
But it's all because of you
And light went black
And I got scared
Anchor
The anchor
Is a kickstand
So I'm taking you down with me to the wrong side
Of the quicksand
And our flashlight destiny
You can be the walker
I'm gonna be your wire
You can be the ugly truth
I'm gonna be your liar
Still the future lit up so bright
For all to see
I can't look now
You're all the same
You're all the same to me
Up and away
Up and away
The anchor
Is a kickstand
So I'm taking you down with me to the wrong side
Of the quicksand
And our flashlight destiny
]
It's all wrong we tripped along
So much worse off for it
And only God can help the one who put the magnets in your head
Up and away
Up and away
If I could just get up I'd be fine
I'd be fine
Find You Dead
Once I knew this boy
You wanted what you could get
If you wanted it so bad
Why did you go out and take it in trade
Instead my momma cried
She shook and wondered off to a different place
My daddy couldn't make things better
Then if he couldn't say it
Wait around and maybe I'll forget about it after a while
Instead I like to think ahead
'Til they find you dead
Skipping out on God is bad
But not worse than mitigating it
That's why I don't make the time to hope and pray
So I'm just gonna shine in the brilliance
Of the only one who has gotten you behind
Wait around and maybe I'll forget about it after a while
Instead I like to think ahead
'Til they find you dead
'Til I find a bag
And get my turn in effigy
You'll burn
Veda Very Shining
That was my heart when time was a seed
Tell me what that means
We made it out okay but soon it turned to dust
Tell me what it means
Cut it out get off the floor
Because it doesn't make you matter more
Veda very shining
Who will you wait up for
Life love heaven death
Is that what makes you such a mess
Veda very shining
At the well and out of luck
You said, "I've had enough"
Still you couldn't make a man out of me
Is that such a bad disease
Just cut it out get off the floor
Because it doesn't make you matter more
Veda very shining
Who will you wait up for
Life love heaven death
Is that what makes you such a mess
Veda very shining
You're not real and yet you seem familiar
If that's what you want
If that's what you want
That was my heart when time was a seed
Tell me what it means
Cut it out get off the floor
Because it doesn't make you matter more
Veda very shining
Who will you wait up for
Life love heaven death
Is that what makes you such a mess
Veda very shining
Co-pilot
Everybody says that you're no good
I don't pay attention though
It doesn't matter though I know it should
I don't pay attention
So what's the use
It never ends
And you're singular it's true
So much for them
Who cares about my friends
Be my co-pilot
Come be in my dream
You look so beautiful there
Just like the part of you
That makes the part of you seem
Everybody tries to bring you down
I don't pay attention though
It doesn't matter
I can hardly hear a sound
And I don't pay attention
Because number one
I'm good with you
And the way you look at me is number two
So what else would I do
Be my co-pilot
Come be in my dream
You look so beautiful there
Just like the part of you
That makes the part of you seem
Seem like a one way track
I feel like I could float away
So what's the use
When it never ends
And you're singular it's true
So much for them
Who cares about my friends
Be my co-pilot
Come be in my dream
You look so beautiful there
Just like the part of you
That makes the part of me seem
Take a ride co-pilot
Shimmer on in my dream
Go!
Say it a good dip
Is a real good way to go real fast
Say it I'm on track
I'm built for speed pull up the back
On your mark
Ready set
Go
Teaser with pretty lines
With shiny glass and perfect time
Ease up against my spine
Because there's still a million miles to climb
On your mark
Go
Would I do what it takes
If it would shut you off?
Now don't be so sure
But don't make have to find out
I feel lucky you look nice
I'm not gonna say it twice
You're in my car now
Say it a good dip
Is a real good way to go real fast
Could I do what it takes
If it would shut you off?
Now don't be so sure
But don't make have to find out
I feel lucky you look nice
I'm not gonna say it twice
You're in my car now
Sparklegirl
A good girl always knows what's right
Don't forget your keys now be late
I'm told that if you last the night
They'll make you drown or float just wait
Wait be more like fire than a firefly
And that's the best way to be happy
Sparklegirl
It's clear there's a lot to fear that's so
Up I won't try to slow you down
But I've gotta get there first or be buried
It's not like us to say we told you so
It's not like life to be that fair
Sparklegirl
It's clear there's an awful lot to fear that's so
Up I won't try to slow you down
But I've got to get there first or be buried
Alouette & Me
So you'd trade me in for them
When they're so mean
I wouldn't do that if I were you
Why did you say all those love things
When you knew you'd leave
I wouldn't say that if I were you
Alouette and me
I don't want to know you lately
Alouette and me
Why did you go ruin everything
In a dream I held my head up
But I'm not brave let them see it
What you've done stultifier you're such a liar
You should be ashamed
Let them see it what you've done
Alouette and me
But it's all right
And I'm not mad
Even though I'm not there for you no more
Alouette and me
Just mark off the territory
It's the strangest thing
It doesn't hurt but I won't forget the sting
But it's all right
And I'm not mad
Even though I'm not there for you no more
I'm A Fool
It would be nice to know everything
But I never said I did
And now that I'm a moving target
With nothing to admit
What will I find when I cross that line
For now it's fine just to say goodnight
Though it would be kick to get may way
I hardly ever do
And the closet that I get
Is nothing on you
Like what happened when I said you'd never go
But now I know that
I'm a fool
To think that you
Could ever be that true
So you decide
I'm not a child
And somehow I'll get by
Now just think for a minute what you say
And then about what you've done
And I'll think about your other girls
And how I want to be the only one
Make a plan
And figure out where you stand
And see it through
Just make your move
I'm a fool
To think that you
Could ever be that true
So you decide
I'm not a child
And somehow I'll get by
I don't care what you say
I don't care what you do
Just make it me
