When you go wrong

13 months and some odd days
since you passed
and each Sunday
I walk beneath the overpass
Of a hospital
where you stayed
where we spent your final days
Hey white boy
where do you stay
when you find white pills in the sidewalk cracks
walking back to your apartment
No I didn't take them
cause I knew you'd need them more than me
The furnace kicks on
it's your favorite song
You always hide when you go wrong

You found me now
I heard you knocking on my door
whispered my name
but I can’t let you in no more
I know I made a promise
Said I wouldn't ask but now I will
with your wings would you protect me
cause I can’t hold my body still
I’ve seen your fire
over the mountain off the path
Knelt down and cried
because your beauty left me blind
I know I made a promise
cause I’m not worthy of your love
but still you whisper to me
are you sure it's me youre thinking of

Jude's song

I think I know
what you're going through
I might be wrong
whatcha gonna do?
I know I can't take your pain from you
but here we are
You reach the door
but you can't get through
You see the signs
but they don't see you
You tally up every word you say
inside your room
You get alone
then the voices come
Pick up the phone
calling anyone
But just the same with your friends around
you're still alone
You reach the door
but you can't get through
You see the signs
but they don't see you
You tally up every word you say
inside your room
You felt secure for a couple months
to play it safe but it's not enough
All of my friends are running for their lives
and so am I

New start (The secret)
03:33
|
|||
|
With just one word it started
and marked a lonely path
Through a field to the ocean
where they told you to turn back
When the waves bent to touch you
the water, fog, and wind
broke apart every memory
and covered all your limbs
If I told you the secret
while you were asleep
Do you think it could reach you
somehow in your dreams?
Cause I been holding your memory
for far too long it seems
When just a new start and a song in my heart
is all I really need

Voice of love

Lack of makeup your disguise
despite the party you're the only one who's dancing in my eyes
Why are you so kind to me
If only you knew all the promises I didn't keep
But swaying with your eyes closed
you see everything
Remember Sundays at the fair
don't it take you back to times when you were unaware
All the pain that life can bring
they wanna see you cry
and make you die for silly things
Swaying with your eyes closed
you see everything
even if you're breaking down
I love you just the same

It was last July
we saw the sunlight fading
waves brought in the tide
and lo, our ride was waiting
Through your sun tan skin
I saw you blushing cherry red
we were laughing at the
children as they ran ahead
If tomorrow comes
my jeans are on your dresser
and I'll wake up to see
the sunrise and no lesser
Youth is wasted on the young
don't mind me saying
We'd be lucky
just to see our bodies aging
And it's funny how the
memory rose up with the tide
overtook me as I walked
along the ocean side

One hundred promises
02:56
|

|
I've made you a hundred promises
and I've broken every one
Don't know how I let it get so out of hand
or when it came undone
Darling you can call me names
but look me in the eye
Tell me who I am
Oh but see the cherry blossoms on our street
can we let their blooming in?
Put our hearts inside the buds up on the trees
and grow that love again
Darling there's a cloud above me, isn't there?
you can see the scars
Yet you've known pain and heartache too, let's go outside
and try to glimpse some stars

You wake up from the dream again
not sure what it means
but you've got to follow it
you're fraying at the seams
I remember places
and they're meaningless to most
but their magic captures me
and I can lose control
It's been a long time coming
you've wasted years just looking back
but now the present is here
and your past is your past
I've loved you a long time
seen inside your skin
thought my love could help you
but I was just a kid
Your dad was no father
left when you were young
turned his back and took your song
a melody unsung
It's been a long time coming
you've wasted years just looking back
but now the present is here
and your past is your past

Got it bad
03:51
|

He shifted in his chair
suddenly aware
“I know I should know better now, but I can’t stop”
He couldn’t make it back
the pressure slowly stacked
he holds his breath and looks through you as you look back
like it happens all the time
you know you got it bad
when he’s locked inside himself
your eyes
The show was pretty loud
pushing through the crowd
I saw him at the bar when he looked up at me
I wonder why that was
I never called his bluff
He let it burn inside him like an unseen fire
like it happens all the time
you know you got it bad
when you’re locked inside yourself
her eyes

All your memories
05:09

“My dear diary,” I write
“how are things with you tonight?
Another day a lesson learned
nothing spent and nothing earned”
All your memories are mine too
All your burdens are mine too
Couldn’t say what came before
but my body keeps the score
When the dragon rears its head
I’ll be sound asleep in bed
Because all your memories are mine too
All your burdens are mine too

In the summertime yard with the flowers
She'd decide what to do with the hours
Swimming pools are my eyes floating weightless
Black cat stretching out across the pavement
Some day
They'll spell it out for us
Either way
They'll spill our vagrant blood
She's lit up staring in the mirror
In the bathroom down at the theater
Pockets full of receipts like a trash can
Trying hard to make a good impression
She can't see life the way that her friends do
Moving out of this city cause she's supposed to
Some day
They'll spell it out for us
Either way
They'll spill our vagrant blood

Stalling

You got what you wanted
staying home most every night
Alex was a good friend
he put up a decent fight
Moving forward, looking back, you’re stalling
and it’s over now so why are you still calling
Sometimes after midnight
on my walk back home or wherever
I test your memory
I ask you questions you wouldnt answer
Pages from the calendar keep turning
and so it seems your ghost keeps on returning
