My Wildest Spark
Once upon a time
There was a way that I was opened
Eviscerate my chest to present a beating heart
On more or less a darker day, it got away
Now you’ve got a way
To say that I can’t be that way anymore…
Now we fall to meet this waning light
Wish I could find
And the way that the fate
And the way that the time
It just goes and it finds
The wildest spark for me
It burns for me
I don’t know how you do it but it seems like second nature
The way you cut me in and shut it down like it’s a yesterday
How am I to be
When you turn to me?
I know that in this life, I wear my stripes
These scars and stripes
I know that it takes
Yeah, I know what it takes
Yeah, the will that it takes to be this way
To be…
The way that you say
The way that you play
The way that you play
The way to play
Is to never say
I’ll never say - that I love you…
I’ll never say it. No, I’ll never say it….nah….
And you know that takes, the time that it takes
And the will that it takes to be that way – to be…
The will that takes & the will that it takes
And the way that you play
And the way to play
Is to never say
No, I’m gonna never say
That I love you
Never say it, never say it…

Bend
I play for the story
And I play for the part
I paid for the ticket
Just to tear it apart
‘Cuz she’s got a radio
That only plays sparks
They fly from her eyes and they turn into stars
Seems like a movie
I saw once before
She cries when he lies
When he lies and she walks out the door
Don’t want us to break
I just wanna bend
I just want the comfort of knowing the end
Feels like we may
Feels like we might
Feels like the feeling I had last night

Sirens
Ethereal Lines
Traces of time
She is a sign
All over time, All over time
Songs of the siren
Moths to the fire and everything’s fine
Everything’s fine
Everything’s fine...
Madrigal choirs
Sing through the wires
Reaching for rhymes
Gone is the time but everything’s fine
Everything’s fine...

21 Grams
Holiday, we sway in the sun
Perfect day
Won’t you stay another one
Had a dream we played and we won
Walked away
We couldn’t stay and wait a ton
I wish you could miss you
Holiday, we strayed in the sun
Perfect waves
Can we catch another one?
Concentrate
I wait and you’re gone
Fly away
We couldn’t stay another one…
I wish you could miss you

Uptight
Uptight, communicate
Will we ever elevate?
I’ve got a place to go
Where the winds will serenade
I’m not unaware
Of little bombs everywhere
You couldn’t pay enough to make me really wanna care
Turn the page, another day
The way you sing
The way we sway
We gotta be another way
We gotta be another way
Uptight, I need that flight today
Uptight, I need that flight today
Eyes wide, I can’t see
You wanna take a drive with me?
The time we take
The time we steal
Too late to take the wheel?
In a time of dire need
We’re turning bittersweet
In a time of dire need
We’re turning up the wrong street
This life is driving me
To a place I just can’t be
Now we’ve got a way to feel that feels just like a bad deal
Uptight, I need that flight today
Uptight, I need that flight today

Asleep at the Wheel
Hey Sunday morning
You crashed a dream that I was in love
But now it seems that she wants to be
Somewhere that’s better than being with me
Cover your eyes
You don’t want to see
The things that can happen
Asleep at wheel
Yea, get a felling
The places I’m cold the fire can’t touch
But still you try with smoke in your eyes
The tossing and turning is all up inside
Cover your eyes
You don’t want to see
The things that can happen
Asleep at wheel
Take this away now
I wanna another new day now
One that gets lost in the waves now
I wanna another new day…
Cover your eyes
You don’t want to see
The things that can happen
Asleep at wheel
I got a feeling…
Yeah, I got a feeling…

The Pirates of Suburbia
I’ve had some time to think this over
But not a lot ‘cause that’s a sin
Can’t let the bad thoughts start to wander
Can’t let the good ones in
Anchors away!
We pirates of suburbia…
Anchors away!
We pirates of suburbia…
We are the pirates of suburbia
We’ve come to steal you silver and gold
While placid housewives sit and wonder
Just when it was they lost their souls
Anchors away!
We pirates of suburbia…
Anchors away!
We pirates of suburbia…

Dan's Rafters
Up here in the rafters
I can see
Things in the margins
You wouldn't believe
If only the embers could fly so high
Like us in the rafter we're stars in the sky
Up here in Dan's rafters where days come to rest
Confessional laughter and all of the best
We're calling all ghosts from days gone by
Come dance with us in the rafters tonight
Raise your glasses high
Drink hard to the heart that's buried inside
Cheers to the fire that binds
Casting the shadows in the rafter tonight
It just kills me when I hear them say
There just has to be a better way
Than whiskey and bread
and nothing unsaid
Up here in the rafters with my very best friends
Raise your glasses high
Drink hard to the heart you're leaving behind
Cheers to the fire inside
Lighting the heart of darkness tonight

Flesh and Bones
Him:
Well, she has no clue
What her heart can do
And she’s saying’ goodbye for the weekend
And I’m up Friday night
Under whiskey and light
Wishing there was a way we were speaking
I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you…
Her heart, lungs
Her breath and her tongue
Speak volumes
It comes when she’s reaching
She’s imperfect and right
And I’m lost in her sight
Wishing I had a way to be speaking
I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you…
I can’t reach you…
I can’t reach you…
The flesh and the bones
Of this song and its tones
Could sing me to you like a beacon
But I don’t have a line
The space and time
So these words in the ether they weaken
I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you
Her:
Throw me the line
Won’t you throw me the line
