you had the bluest eyes that I've ever seen I was eighteen flying down 95 it was late in July and I don't know what to do with my life but I could fight all night it's illusion it's all fake beautiful mistake I bought you a drink smoked a cigarette lit the sky you held up your hands in fists and said you don't want me like this and I don't know what to do with my life but I could fight all night it's illusion it's all fake beautiful mistake you said to find god there's just one way get on your knees and pray but I don't believe in a faith that tells me who to love and hate and I don't know what to do with my life but I could fight all night it's illusion it's all fake beautiful mistake

Meteor 03:43
Well it took me ten days ten messages left to say do you want to watch the stars fall on my..birthday? and I almost didn't show I'm a runaway turn the key drove through that fog bank and there we lay watching the sky waiting to find you your hands were cold held up to nights shore meteor and I may have overheard you talkin about her and i ignored you but lookin back now I just said I was cold that was a lie too and I caught my first light heroin to my eyes and all this fuss and fight disappeared and there we lay watching the sky waiting to find you your hands were cold held up to nights shore meteor

Vespertine 04:25
sky blue you left while she cried for you and you busted down the coast with only a bag of rope and a memory like stone Vespertine you were everything damn that computer screen and all that never sleeps Vespertine you had everything you had me sweet thing but now I'm leaving in the morning tight rope, fish nets you carry a pocket knife and day dream with it one cut and she would fall bring a circus to its knees and refund the souls of all Vespertine you were everything damn that computer screen and all that never sleeps Vespertine you had everything you had me sweet thing but now I'm leaving in the morning and I'm gonna find you I'm gonna make you mine I'm gonna end this stick needles in the main line yeah i'm gonna do this drink your blood like wine not gonna stop till you promise to come back this time

there's a little crack of light wild she climbs up high there's no boundary lines little Indian girl rides through the night and I confide living on mountain tops by firelight oh what a lucky life it'll be alright it'll be alright there were lightning bugs till three till gram and gramps gave you electricity there were no boundary lines little Indian girl rides through the night and I confide living on mountain tops by firelight oh what a lucky life it'll be alright it'll be alright

We're Over 03:20
we started off you wanted me and I was gone can't always get what we want the tables turn I just want to get real I just want to feel I thought we were on you say maybe tomorrow so much to go wrong you want to lead not follow and I'm thinking were done here but you don't want to say we're over now every song that you played for me just makes me feel sick listening the tables turned I just want to get real yeah I just want to feel I thought we were on you say maybe tomorrow so much to go wrong you want to lead not follow and I'm thinking were done here but you don't want to say we're over and I know the letter I wrote to you was blinding lets play hide and seek so you cant find me sometimes flying feels like I'm falling and I don't want to fall for you again I thought we were on you say maybe tomorrow so much to go wrong you want to lead not follow and I'm thinking were done here but you don't want to say we're over

No Cryn' 03:32
you asked me out it was a Tuesday and I was just sayin how I never get asked you called me up said I was lovely but your lines seem to fade so fast two weeks went by it was like I was walking a tightrope sky high when every bone said stay away cause I'm not cryn' anymore heard you were holdin hands with her at the concert and you knew I'd see but I'm not surprised that you're sleepin with the city not everyone we fall for will fall for us bartenders advice at dusk so keep the whiskey comin so I can sleep again just sing me a luulabuy I don't care if I drink this whole bar dry just make me forget how our lips coincide cause I'm not cryn' anymore heard you were holdin hands with her at the concert and you knew I'd see but I'm not surprised that you're sleepin with the city

Gypsy Heart 04:46
She was a gypsy she came and went burrowed there bones in wet cement traded stories for post card cents and he was a fly frozen in the snow stuck like an arrow without a bow she said die or go back home and she saddled two kids on her wide hips took back her lung and breathed inside it as he fell apart and she cut two straps tied her hair back broke her dress and climbed up the mast sailed her gypsy heart she slept in a bus he moved in a flat wonder if shes ever going back tracing veins her body a map and she saddled two kids on her wide hips took back her lung and breathed inside it as he fell apart and she cut two straps tied her hair back broke her dress and climbed up the mast sailed her gypsy heart

Big Sur 04:06
the road was windy as we drank out of beer bottles til the six pack was through and the sun was falling on the mountains I ordered it neat like you there was a full moon over head wait for this part in the song it makes you feel like flying I said yeah it makes you feel like flying I said and then you looked back at me and placed your hand in mine seconds well they whirled by and I thought maybe I got you this time well fishes rarely learn how to fly and you ignore my songs and right or wrong you're gone you said you have to show ID you look like you're 17 and I'm looking for more maturity said can you just be good with me coming and going coming and going and then you looked back at me and placed your hand in mine seconds well they whirled by and I thought maybe I got you this time well fishes rarely learn how to fly and you ignore my songs and right or wrong you're gone and maybe you could a find a way to stay close cause every time you go I can't wait here for you to come home and then you looked back at me and placed your hand in mine seconds well they whirled by and I thought maybe I got you this time well fishes rarely learn how to fly and you ignore my songs and right or wrong you're gone

One Day 02:49
We sat in that cafe speaking, spinning and there was a baby on the way one day, one day he said he didn't want it this way should I go or should I stay? "I'm sorry" you say one day, one day and lullabies are strange close up or far range he's not, but you're ok one day, one day
