I Don’t Care, I Don’t Know

How did everything that I know, everything that I know get me here
How did everything that I know, everything at once just disappear
If I could know, it wouldn’t matter anyway
And still would you, would you still be here anyway? either way…

Honestly, when you’re next to me, I make believe that part of me
Is better than I am, yeah it’s make believe but you honor me, you honor me
And my doubts disappear, where they go I don’t care I don’t know

If the sky should fall tomorrow, the sky should fall tomorrow on me now
Would the love I stole and borrowed be enough to let me hold my ground
And if I could know, would it matter anyway?
And still would you, would you still be here anyway? anyway…

Everything All at Once

I dreamed that lonely and the vampires that control me
Could console me if ever I’d just go along
So I wrote you a letter but it turned into a song
And that reminds me that the birds think nothing’s wrong

And I may never love everything all at once
But knowing you might be the closest I’ve ever come

I’ve been painting flowers with gold leaves that inspire me
To be like you or at least be fine with me
Sometimes I sit for hours steady thinking as the peace comes
She reminds me that there’s nothing there left to think

Though I may never love everything all at once
Knowing you might be the closest I’ve ever come

And I may never love everything all at once
Knowing you might be the…

Though I may never love everything all at once
Knowing you might be the closest I’ve ever come

You Had Me Wrong

I walk uphill, and I walk uphill to look down, to look down
At the wall that I built, at the wall that I built come down, come down

And now all the weeds are gone, and I was right all along
That you had me wrong

I’d trade my will for the time stood still, or slowed down, slowed down
And if I bend your will, I bet you will come down, come down

And now all the weeds are gone, and I was right all along
That you had me wrong, that you had me wrong

And I walk uphill, and I walk uphill to look down, to see down

Hold On

I’m gonna leave this world, hold on, hold on (2x)
I’m gonna leave this world, but not gonna leave this world right now

I’ve gotta save my soul, hold on, hold on (2x)
I’m gonna save my soul, but not gonna save my soul right now

I’ve gotta right my wrongs, hold on, hold on (2x)
I’m gonna right my wrongs, but not gonna right my wrongs right now

Cuz there’s a place that I’ve been living in and I’m gonna be here for a while
All I know is when I’m listening, sometimes the days they stretch for miles

I’m gonna touch the sun and hold on, hold on (2x)
I’m gonna touch the sun, but I’m gonna milk the moon right now

I’m gonna fuel this war, hold on, hold on (2x)
I’m gonna fuel this war, but I’m gonna make my peace right now

And there’s a space that I’ve been living in, and I’m gonna leave here with a smile
Though I know I’m only visiting, I’m gonna be here for a while

I’m gonna leave this world, hold on, hold on (2x)
I’m gonna leave this world, but not gonna leave this world right now

Easy

I gave up on the rising sun, I know that I’m not the only one
And I gave up on everyone, but not on you
Can’t feel the weight caving in my chest
I’m crippled, tongue-tied, and dead at best
Don’t feel the truths that I most confess, but I felt you

Was gonna let this die, was gonna let this die
You’ve been on my mind, you’ve been on my mind

I don’t know if I’ll ever live to see any version of all of me
Never seen the point in searching endlessly, but I saw you
Now I can’t find the rising sun, I can’t find just anyone
I’ve never found what makes me run, but I found you

Was gonna let this die, was gonna let this die
You’ve been on my mind, you’ve been on my mind
And I still bleed for you, I still bleed for you
Like any friend of mine, any friend would do

Sometimes good love don’t come easy
Sometimes good love it is hard
Oh but your love it could ease me
I was just playing a part and now you’re wrecking my heart
Don’t need your love to complete me
Don’t need your love to feel fine
Oh babe your love it was easy
And now you’re wrecking my mind, I fear you’re wrecking my mind

Was gonna let this die, was gonna let this die
You’ve been on my mind, you’ve been on my mind
And I still bleed for you, I still bleed for you
Like any friend of mine, any friend would do
I still bleed for you (4x)

Comfortable Mind

Sometimes the words that I most need now
They elude me like gold laid in the ground
And sometimes the wolves are so unkind
But I’ve got a comfortable mind

My heart is like wood and stone combined
Yet it’s strung out live leaves out on the vine
But I’ve got a comfortable mine, I’ve got a comfortable mind

And if the stilts that I made don’t break, they’ll bend
When the ghosts that I fight inevitably win
I’ll have a comfortable mind, cuz I’ve got a comfortable mind

Around

We were made out of clay
Long before yesterday
That I remain I can’t explain, I can’t explain

Time is wasting, but I’ve been waiting around

And the lights they dimly glow
Will I find, how will I know
How your hands made of clay
long before slipped away, they slipped away

Time is wasting, so if I haven’t stated
I want you around

I have come undone (3x)

Time is wasting, so if I haven’t stated
that I want you around, yeah I want you around
I want you around

Be Ok

Hole in the ceiling hole in the wall
Got a hole in my faith from where I can’t recall
Never knew that a silence could make such a sound
I thought I’d never be lonely with so much around

Til she came through the door with her hands in her hair
She had a flame and a wound but no love in her stare
She took all my innocence, my stereo
She took my head and my heart back to Mexico

I’m okay, I’m okay I’m okay, be okay, be okay

Now dust masks the floor and black smoke swims my lungs
I don’t know what kind of man I thought I’d ever become
Will I ever forgive or will I forget
Will I ever have the mind to be better yet

I’m okay, I’m okay I’m okay, be okay, be okay

If there’s no heaven, I pray there’s a hell
So at least there’d be a place beyond this earth we dwell
To undo this madness, redo this war
I fear there’s no time to settle my scores

I’m okay, I’m okay I’m okay, be okay, be okay

As I dance to the wisest of my favorite songs
I search out of my mind for where my dreams have gone
I look in the river and look in the woods
And I look in the mirror like you said I should

I’m okay, I’m okay I’m okay, be okay
I’m okay, I’m okay I’m okay, be okay, be okay

The sun it burns my eyes badly
I know that’s the opposite of what you do
But when it falls so madly, that reminds me of you

The night can lie and cheat and haunt me
That’s nothing you would ever do
But how the moon can really calm me
And that reminds me of you

Lately, I’ve been looking forward
To places I won’t look back, look back
For now, I’ll sink just like a feather whenever
I don’t mean to but I think about you like that

And time it moves so slowly
Not quite as fast as you like to
But when I chase it how I notice
That it reminds me of you

Lately, I’ve been looking forward
To places I won’t look back, look back
For now, I’ll sink just like a feather whenever
I don’t mean to but I think about you like that

And the wine it flows so madly
Though it’s something you’d never do
It’s the taste that really had me
And that reminds me of you (3x)

Awake

There’s a pale moon unrest in your eye and static in your hair
Every hope I had to reconcile just vanished in the air
Like a child I tried to compromise, crucified and all
My bones won’t fail to come alive when they’re up against the wall

It’s mainly when you’re close to me that I know you don’t care
Baby when you’re close to me, you’re not really there
Oh I know you’re not there

I bet the moon and my right eye that I’m as bad as you
I could tear me down just as fast, as fast as you time two
Now there’s a calming hope inside my head and static on the wall
That’s the good lord come knocking at my door but I don’t wanna talk

It’s mainly when you’re close to me that I know you don’t care
Baby when you’re close to me, you’re not really there
Oh I know you’re not there

I’ve been to kingdom come, I’ve been to kingdom come
I’ve been awake too long, I’ve been awake too long (15x)
I’ve been…

And I just want you close to me, you don’t have to care
Cuz baby when you’re close to me, somehow I don’t care
That baby when you’re close to me, you’re not really there
So baby when you’re close to me, you don’t have to care
Oh you don’t have to care

Mountains

I ran for the valley, hid in the pines
Ran down to the ocean, strayed far from the tides
Didn’t think you’d find me, I’m sure glad you did
This I still remember, though so much I forget

And if you didn’t say you loved me, I know that you did
It’s written on the mountains that you made out of my hill
You made out of my hill

You were so naked, no you were not hid
You would not tire, and your truth it remained clear
And still I wonder heavy like a stone
Does the rain that kept you lonely now leave you alone

And if you didn’t say you loved me, I know that you did
It’s written on the mountains that you made out of my hill
You made out of my hill

Now I know that you loved me, if I didn’t say I did
I’ll see you on the mountain when I get off this hill
Yeah I’ll tell you on the mountain when I get off this hill

When You Loved Me Good

I couldn’t write a song that meant much to you if I tried
I couldn’t spare you all the wreckage of my jealous side
I couldn’t drink away your loneliness like you wished I would
Oh when you stood right next to me, at least I thought I could

I couldn’t paint a perfect picture of the stars
I couldn’t fix the stone cold runaway from your angry
I couldn’t find the gold inside of me like you wished I would
Oh when you stood right next to me, at least I thought I could

Oh does the night keep on crying wherever you are
Oh cuz the nights won’t relent yeah they tear me apart
And I’ll cover my guns to be understood
I was at my best when you loved me good

Oh does the night keep on crying wherever you are
Oh cuz my nights won’t relent yeah it’s bleeding my hard heart
And I’ll cover my guns to be understood
I was at my best when you loved me good
Oh and I’ll lay down my guns to be understood
I was at my best when you loved my good
When you loved me good
