lyrics

Dream a Window

You can dream a window, step outside
throw your arms around the open-wide
Life's a hang-up, many times it seems
It's a long ride, but it can set you free.

I was lying in bed one morning I was petrified, hadn't slept all night
I heard the phone ring by my head
Well I picked up, said yeah it's me
I think I won't be in no more
And I checked the f*cking straight-life at the door

I just dreamed a window, stepped outside
Saw the door was open all the time
Life's a hang-up, many times it seems
It's a long ride for you and me

It was easy as just doing it,
that job ain't you
Your girlfriend's out-her-mind, there's nothing you can do
So I filled my life with music and trusted friends, learned to read the bends
And I found some space to throw my weight around

I've finally found
Legs to stand on, friends to lean on,
and the piece of mind to care
It was always there
A chance worth taking, a life worth saving
Now lights are changing, times so strange that I can hardly bear,
but I'll dream me there

You can dream a window, step out there
Throw your arms around it, man
Life's a hang-up, many times it seems
It's a long ride, but it can set you free
It's a long ride, yeah it's gonna be
It's a long ride for you and me.

Feel You

I can feel you in the morning
I can feel you in my sleep
I can feel you like an armchair sitting in the sun on a river so deep
I can feel you like you're flowing
I can see you nice and clear
And I can tell you that I've got something for you, babe, you ain't had here

Let this be the love I've wanted, like I know it is, lord
Let this thing forever be, or a little while's fine
I'll take my time, oh lord I'm on it, take me as I am girl
Bring that love on home to me
And tomorrow just let it be

I can fit you in my suitcase
I said you're little like a toy
You make me feel just like my mama rocking me off to sleep when I was a little baby boy
And I can feel you like a night wind blowing straight on out to sea
And I can tell you I'm shook and I'm shaking and your love it takes me

Let this be the love I've wanted, like I know it is, lord
Let this thing forever be, or a little while's fine
I'll take my time, oh lord I'm on it, take me as I am girl
Bring that love on home to me
Until tomorrow

I'll rock this time
I'll roll just fine
Come walk this line with me
I can't deny that I'm lost inside
But this simple song could be the best damn thing for me

I can feel you like my woman
And I can feel my little girl
Kinda like the way your voice is the strongest and the sweetest little sound I ever heard in the whole damn world
I'd like to hear it in the morning
You know I fear it in my dream
and I can tell you I'm falling and all in and your voice it calls me

Let this be the love I've wanted, like I know it is, lord
Let this thing forever be, or a little while's fine
I'll take my time, oh lord I'm on it, take me as I am girl
Bring that love on home to me
Until tomorrow

I'll rock this time
I'll roll just fine
Come walk this line with me
I can't deny that I'm lost inside
But this simple song could be the best thing I ever done wrote
Feel that lump sitting in your throat
Coming out and singing every note
Just looking for that simple sense of free
That I can feel in the morning
Or even in my dreams
I said, it's simple as it seems
Cummon and let it be

Home

Look around it with your eyes half closed, and feel
Lately when I sleep, it's deep

Yes and I found home, at the bottom of a bottle
Shaking like a grain of sand
This life I choose will be in my own two hands

Feeling something like a hole inside, heal
Knocks me off my feet
Hits me like a heartache, and it's got the best of me

Yes and I found home, at the bottom of a bottle
Shaking like a grain of sand
This life I choose will be in my own two hands

So tie me to the floor, when the ship goes down
I don't wanna feel my feet on solid ground
Sweep me out the door and leave

Feeling something like a hole inside, heal
I wanna feel it heal

Right at home, right at home
At the bottom, looking up and seeing me
You can watch this thing unfold, slowly, slowly

So tie me to the floor, when the ship goes down
I don't wanna feel my feet there
Sweep me out the door and leave

Feelin'

When I wake each morning and I slither in my bed
Contemplate the room and kiss my lady's head
I've been chewing these same lines since I was 17
Trying to kill the ghost of this whole music scene

So cummon let me in
And the world keeps spinning
So cummon let me in
Feelin' don't fail me now

And isn't it amazing, these legs I've grown
Trying to throw my arms around the great unknown
I'm just a lonely boy was born to play the blues
I ain't trying to walk in nobody's shoes

So cummon let me in
And the world keeps spinning
So cummon let me in
Feelin' don't fail me now

You and Me

Well I've been me for a few years
I've got good ears, I've got big fears
But I see you in a different light
I don't wanna fight
I know we might

Show me the night when you couldn't find me
Show me the night when I didn't call home
Even though I've looked for so long
I ain't seen myself in years
All of the while the whole thing's timing
It wraps around me like my gravestone
I just know I couldn't come home if you were somewhere else

I can see straight and I don't mind waiting
I can stand another day with me
It's all just great and you're not deceived
I believe in this thing we've grown to be
You and me

I've got long arms
They do no harm
I've got deep scars
Here they are
I've been down this road before
I know it ends
Wish I'd made friends

Show me the night when I coudn't please you
Show me the time when it was not so
I just want to let this thing go and only be myself
I don't mean all the things I say
I sure ain't meant all the things I said
But I just want to tell you, baby, that you are something else

I can see straight and I don't mind waiting
I can stand another day with me
It's all just great and you're not deceived
I believe in this thing we've grown to be
You and me

Lord, I know, I know this won't be easy
Watch my whole life dissappear
Not like this, oh please don't leave me here

I can see a million miles from here today
I can see ten years gone, watching our kids play
Cummon, not this way
I know I'm just one man, but we could change the world
Me and just one girl, you and me
You and me

Hangtime

Well it could be years away
But I see us shaking on a blanket in the sand
And I could hold you there like nothing ever come between to bits of something
On this dried up hill, this devil's land
And I'm hands down trying to handle it
Living inside this Skin
It's like an archless train you watch it right over your head
There ain't no stopping

Chorus:

Till I'm home again
Cutting myself a single line, no loose ends
It's like hangtime, waking up in your arms again
Feeling a sense of me and mine, oh so fine

I can make my bed, alone this time
Spaced out and lazy
Only half crazy
What's it you said that nobody's safe
Well I'm safe, jump on it I'm tired of treading this water
Come on home and treat me like your only daughter
We can both be amazed at the good things we taught her
Well my armchair-never-ending
Silhouettes in the rain, and dough's for spending

Color

Let me tell you the story of how I've grown so cold and how the biscuits burned
Well I've been chewing tooth and nail so long my jaw keeps aching, and my gums bleed
I've got this deck of cards, let's throw it out of my fourth story window,
we can run down pick em up all 52
That for me and you this life it seems to be
And I have got the where with all to see around these dreams, like a twist when I tear

Chorus:

This life in here and always feeling awkward
Gone straight up out my head inside this room
And I am a man who sees in color
And I am a man that you can see right through

Here's another one for the one, the one that got away
I've been spitting these same tired lines in the wind so long
I figured out I don't even feel this way
Well I had my hand, I laid it down and played it for the longest time, thought I was still all in
Now comes another one, let's see the worst envy
It's women come, women see, leave me be
Women are the death of me

Chorus

Bridge:

But I feel like waking up
Come on step around my head
I'm this type of fool still not content with nothing
But nothing is it in the end

I was flying back from LA the other day
Felt turbulence like I never had before
Peoples' thing were rolling from the ceilings to the floor
I said the same prayer that I always do, bless my friends and family and my enemies too
But I'll tell you something, it was the strangest thing
I just sat there, wasn't scared, didn't care if I died that day
I said I'm only 23, how'd I get to be so full of piss and fear
I don't even wanna hold the wheel and steer

Chorus

Bridge:

But I feel like waking up
Come on step around my head
I'm this type of fool still not content with nothing
But nothing is it in the end
Yeah, nothing is it again
And I say breath too much
Twists and I moan
And my shiny skin is thin
And I've lost a little weight
And I've sure lost a lot

Blind

So these walls surround me
Have they found me, is it them?
They're all the same, man
Yes, I've seen your hair, I've seen you shining fine and new
And it leaves me here with nothing to do

Maybe I can sleep all night this restless cage I call my own,
Thus it's flown
Up and in the air right past this twisted head of mine
Tries to put back reason to rhyme

Oh my woman, I've lost my mind
Used to be beautiful
Now I look at you, and I go blind
Only hold me in my dreams
And I've seen the last of your sweet love
So it seems

So these walls surround me
Have they found me, is it them?
They're all the same, man
So these women come
I grab's em leaves em on the shelf
At least I've lost my health
And my mind
