Winter (bonus track)
. . .


Here is a song for the only one
That you know that you never know
You're still looking for
The softest things you never quite see
But you know they are true
So let them carry you
They're there for you
And everything you do...
Spot on a satellite
Is bleeding you today
You don't wonder why
Will this thing get off
The ground and let you go
Home
Home...

Doesn't it make you feel good...
Doesn't it make you feel good...
Doesn't it make you feel good
To know that some things
Are never so involved

. . .


Was I dreaming...
Was I awake...
Or did you come home
Today...
For the rest of my life...
A little pity...
For the rest of our lives...
A little pitty...

Pick up your stones and go to work on my bones
Then tell me if I'll be alright
I'll come round for this moment
The only other moment
To see you when you're down
I come round
I'll come around
See you when you're down..
This is a mistake...
Long roads never cast the long burning embers
Of your heart
When the sun rose the surface,
It removed the reflection of you
Long roads don't mean anything to me now
They're gone...
And done...
Into the sun...
For now...

Pick up your stones and go to work on my bones
Then tell me if I'll be alright
I'll come round for this moment
The only other moment
To see you when you're down
I'll come round...
I'll come around
See you when you're down...
This is a mistake...

. . .


Take all your medicine
It's gonna make you well
You'll have to run till it's over
I'm sure you'll be able to tell
You'll know it's over
For the rest of your life
You're gonna be high
Come home
It's something less than a holiday
When you come home
It's something less than a holiday
They'll be sneaking up behind you again
Talk to the doctor
He said you're well for home
Take all your medicine
Be sure you're never alone
You'll know it's over
For the rest of your life
You're gonna be high...
Come home
It's something less than a holiday
When you come home
It's something less than a holiday
They'll be sneaking up behind you again

Come home
It's something less than a holiday
When you come home
It's something less than a holiday
When you come home
It's something less than a holiday
When you come home
It's something less than a holiday
When you come home
It's something less than a holiday
When you...

. . .


Step on the tracks
Feel you're alive
It's not any worse
Closer in time
It's like a perfect picture of
Ordinary life
You hit the bottom
To see if you're alive...
You'll be here some time
(tears are in your eyes) -?
Bending backwards to look behind
Pushing forward, killing in time
You thought it would change in time
You thought it would change your mind
You thought you'd be first in line
You thought it would change your life
It's like a perfect picture of
Ordinary life
You hit the bottom
To see if you're alive...
You'll be here some time
(tears are in your eyes) -?
You'll be better off not wasting your time
A sentimental heart is always last
In line
A sentimental heart is always last
In line
It's like a perfect picture of
Ordinary life
You hit the bottom
To see if you're alive...

It's like a perfect picture of
Ordinary life
You hit the bottom
To see if you're alive...
To see if you're alive...

. . .


Drink to the sun
We write to millions
You kill everyone
Around you
Save yourself from...
From the ground you break
And the lives you take

I lock the door
Spinning the dust...
In a room
Still like the sun around you
Don't like the space of
All our space of
And you're just become a word...

. . .


Fallen through
Reach behind me
See if you remember me
Come with me to that place where
We remember what to be
Follow me
To that place where
When you're lost
You finally see
Keep in mind as you remember
All the answers you walked right through
Quietly...
We'll keep traveling
We'll forget all that we need
Later on when you find me
We can sleep
We'll sleep beneath the trees
We'll sleep beneath the trees
We'll sleep beneath the trees
We'll sleep beneath the trees

[Chant:]
Ahahahah...owowow...[etc.]

. . .


Let us forget your existence
The day met, I will forget
On the other side of vacant life
Faces pass through
And we never saw what we saw
Ever again
The meters are too slow to know
To know
Our final thoughts
How far they got
And the simple things that we erase
With names that take their place
And we never saw what we saw
Ever again
Some things are so dangerous
Moments unexplained to us
To finally become aware
Everything you've ever seen is gone

(do do do do do...[etc.])

Some things are so dangerous
Moments unexplained to us
To finally become aware
Everything you've ever seen is
Some things are so dangerous
Moments unexplained to us
To finally become aware
The most beautiful things you've ever seen
We'll be gone...

. . .


We owe it all the the sun and the heart
For now it gets al little bit harder
So turn it up
Turn it up
Till the clock is done and left
Till it's left behind me

It's just like staring into the sun [X7]
It's just like...
We owe it all to the sun
And our hearts for now
They get a little bit harder
But if you change your mind
And wave goodbye to us
And them...
You were stepping on my hands
But if you change your mind will then...
Its Just like staring into the sun [X14]
It's just like
It's just like...
All we want is a lonely house
A lonely bed
To call our own
A lonely bed
To call our own
To call our own

. . .


Watch out cause we're trouble shooting
On the weekend
We try to connect but don't hold your breath
Cause we can
Love you a little
Gets you through
To the middle
It's a sound that you learn to hate
We try to get to you but don't be late
Cause we'll...
Love you a little
Gets you through to the middle
1-2-3 is how you get to sleep
But don't forget your mother
While you count your sheep
Cause she'll
Love you a little
Gets you through to the middle
Pick'n up the pieces from the night
Into the day is how we
Love you a little
Gets you through to the middle
If the summer will be easier
To finally let me go
Let me go
Love you a little
Gets you through to the middle
Let me go
Love you a little
Gets you through to the middle
Didn't mean to let you down
Just thought you'd hang around
But we've been waiting for so long
So long
Didn't mean to let you down
Just thought you'd hang around
But we've been waiting for so long
So long
Didn't mean to let you down
Just thought you'd hang around
But we've been waiting for so long
So long
Didn't mean to let you down
Just thought you'd hang around
But we've been waiting for so long...

. . .


You were a doctor of medicine
She was a nurse with no direction
Oooh we are babies
It was a snake in the grass
Too bad you knew
It wouldn't last
Oooh we are babies
We are babies

Oooh oooh we are babies
Oooh oooh we are babies
Oooh oooh we are babies

. . .


Coming home...
Coming home... Will I see you again?
Coming home...
Will I see you again?
In the Winter
In the Winter
Turn it down, will I see you again?
Turn it down, will I see you again? In the Winter
And please
Let us know...
When we can come
Home.
