Dreampop-y Thing

I don't know what to say
if all the things I've had on my mind
were all plans that could never have
worked out for me
I will say it will be fine this time
I won't try to do things my way
I'll promise to go away from this town
and hope to be fulfilled the next time around
I don't know what to say
If things would finally go my way
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to say

they want to take you out of your shell
echo the sound of the sea
the sound, the sound of the sea
they'll let you drown in there
you must take care of yourself
you can't think all by yourself
in books the rules are set
by someone you never before met
we built a web to trap us into
so we could share your secrets around the world
men have their money like children have toys
they play around waiting for something
fool around waiting for nothing
and you cant really own anything
and you'll never, never go back
to your shell
and it all boils down to a question
whether what you see is really real
no no its not about your perception
you must leave behind what you cant forget

Summer Flowers

I bought a blues harp to play a blue note
the rain was the rhythm
and when I got home I turned off the lights
you need to rest 'cause life is a trip
from one town to another
you came back all changed
my mind is filled today
but it won't be blank tomorrow
organic, yet ephemeral
summer flowers in winter
any moment the world
could come off the tracks
If you don't find your monster, it wont find you
I found joy in feeling the rhythm
the town always asleep
organic, yet ephemeral
summer flowers in winter
any moment the world
could come off the tracks

Secrets for Me
02:56
|
|||
|
I'm remembering all those times
when all of us felt so alive
what good has these years brought us now
like brothers we felt so alike
I see those days
they are forever gone
Don't think that I had a clue
what we were about to do
If we lit those trees on fire
now we could be frozen in time
I see those days
they could be ahead of us, again
I don't want to go
back to the bottom of the well
where I was, there's no more
secrets for me
I'm remembering all those times
when all of us felt so alive
what good has these years brought us now
like brothers we felt so alike
I think we'll meet soon enough again

I feel discontented
I feel intoxicated
I feel discontented
I feel...
You're a girl who makes me feel so disconnected
the kinda girl I just don't understand
If you come with me I promise I will lose my mind
If you come with me I hope that we can make it out alive
Aino
You took away all my imperfections
Aino
I'd give away all my possessions
You thought I was like a rockstar or something
I'd give anything to see you again
I'd give anything to see you again
I'd give anything to see you again
I feel discontented
I feel intoxicated
I feel discontented
I feel...
You're a girl who makes me feel so disconnected
the kinda girl I just don't understand
If you come with me I promise I will lose my mind
If you come with me I hope that we can make it out alive

The Memory
02:38
|

Everybody's busy, but I am waking up, idle and free
its the second time I get up today
thinking deep on a late night on monday
there's nothing left to do since yesterday
everybody I run into I'm not interested in
my sister she said "you sound depressed"
I say "all the people I meet they are dead, just like Elliott Smith,
when He was still alive"
Maybe it's me who's dying one day at a time
my mind's distorting all the precious memories
can't name the sickness I may have never had
but the sadness it keeps coming back
everybody tells me that time goes much quicker now
but I'm left wonderin', just who I am
the times when my mood shifts can be lonely
I can even it out by acting oh so goofy
What do we have other than these memories
is there another story now to tell
the mind wants to make it oh so epic now
you don't wanna remember just how awful it was
It's weird we live
in the present,
somebody's shouting loud that they are FREE
but we keep looking back as we get older...
like a whisper'd say
"something true was forgotten"

The Milky Way
03:24

ill surely
visit
you
some day
well purely
sing about
our milky way
and the beauty
of the people
around us
how we forgot
how to
ask the right
questions
youre travelling
about,
though you have a
home
with this warmth
around,
your peaceful
soul
theres a place inside,
in case someone,
comes to knock on your
door
youll ask them,
to come on in,
and youll tell your
stories
this house it has
a fireplace,
and it smells just like
home
for the ones that you
have embraced,
and the beauty at the
door
you always had
a soft spot,
for the most peculiar
people
theres a character,
though life aint a cartoon...
greeting at
the entry
ill surely
visit
you one of these
days
well sing your song,
revisit,
the one about
the lion
ill remember you,
and your songs,
the blue notes
and the rest of it

Any Day Now
03:28
|

It's a somewhat difficult
but oh so familiar situation
you thought you could choose
when you'll be getting his appreciation
any day now, any day now, any day
He'll tell you the truth
just like his eyes told you before
the truth is that you shouldn't act the way
the old you would have wanted to
any day now, any day now, any day
It's difficult but I think it's what she choose to do
It's unforgettable but remember, she'd warned you
any day now, any day now, any day
He'll tell you the truth
just like his eyes told you before
the truth is that you shouldn't act the way
the old you would have wanted to
he'll tell you the truth
he'll tell you the truth
He'll be gone
He'll be gone
any day now, any day now, any day
He'll be gone, he'll be gone...

A Heart Softly Beating
03:59
|
|||
|
You've got a heart softly beating
it is doing the rhythm keeping, for you
you are warm you haven't ever lost that spark
that's been there since the start
You are here and you're present now
and my memory of you, will always be one of warmth
I wish you well, I hope you live a good life
You're a friend and you're a very special one
I'll be seeing you
If you're feeling like it now
We'll be living under the same roof and the same sun
I'll be seeing you, o-oh, I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
If we keep this up for another year now
We'll be dreamin' about some of the same stuff we used to dream about
I'll be seeing you, o-oh, I'll be seeing you
