Now this is all me, now this is all me

Watch out for late phone calls, we face them concrete walls
Go to far, live too long, time's too short, right and wrong

Block after block, block after block

Rolled down gates look the same, different trips, different trains

Hey friends, break in the back door
And turn it up while the lights are out
Eyes closed and shouting right now

Lights turn on and dark turns outside, blindside dream, - ding - you're next in line.
It's plain now this is all me, now this is all me.

Lights turn on and dark turns outside, blindside dream, - ding - you're next in line.
It's plain now this is all me, now this is all me.

Eat when you're hungry and sleep when you're slipping like
Tired dogs, rested paws, today we show our flaws

Block after block, block after block

If one way, now unwise, what was left now is right

Hey friends, we'll jump the turnstiles
And cut it down while the lights are out
Eyes closed and shouting right now

Lights turn on and dark turns outside, blindside dream, - ding - you're next in line.
It's plain now this is all me, now this is all me.

Lights turn on and dark turns outside, blindside dream, - ding - you're next in line.
It's plain now this is all me, now this is all me.

I think it takes a pile of bricks for us to make a home
And I'm not sure that I hear mountains grow from just one note

Block after block, block after block

Everything happened, every step I've took and street I've walked

Lights turn on and dark turns outside, blindside dream, - ding - you're next in line.
It's plain now this is all me, now this is all me.

Lights turn on and dark turns outside, blindside dream, - ding - you're next in line.
It's plain now this is all me, now this is all me.

open road
is on my back today
hold me up and sure
not to drag away

all these twists and turns
piles of dreams and dimes
ill take whats infront
and leave this mess behind

. . .


Sun's going down let's get together
On the bridge we'll meet up tonight

Black pants red sweatshirt and brown bags
Above the East River's northern lights

You see what I see
I thought it make believe
Watched the sun rise
On my street

Old cement makes for
A solid place to lay
Bed of light grey
My bed of light grey

While I know it's letters
That can spell
I hear now it's words that can say

I decided to start writing less
And I'm talking more everyday

Sixteen of our friends
A five seat bright red van
Curbside view
Turn off of grand

Pound my steering wheel
We yell to the windshield
I'm finally home
I'm finally home

No time for cameras
We'll use our eyes instead
No time for cameras
We'll be gone when we're dead
No time for cameras
We'll use our eyes instead
I see flashes of gold

Every single car alarm we hear
We'll steal and throw through their window
My water comes straight from the tap
And those bottles are all just for show

I see that we're made of
More then blood and bones
See we're made of
Sticks and stones

Don't forget to breathe
Need locks for your keys
Don't forget to breathe now
Forget to breathe now

No time for cameras
We'll use our eyes instead
No time for cameras
We'll be gone when we're dead
No time for cameras
We'll use our eyes instead
I see flashes of gold

. . .


You're bringing the bar up
Life's not plastic forks and and paper cups,
I'm uncertain we can make a heavy wave
We'll set all things straight!

Chorus:
Heads in the paint,
Let's make some stains!
Let's make some stains, ready dive!
Heads in the paint
Let's make a mark
All of these years you brought me here,
You brought me here!
I thank you,
All of these years that we come through!

Some parts never taught!
Climbing fences, sleeping on roof tops
Want some many things I see,
I should get them,
Steal, rock, bricks and lead
Want so many things I see,
I should get them!
Steal, rocks, bricks and lead

Chorus:
Heads in the paint,
Let's make some stains!
Let's make some stains, ready dive!
Heads in the paint
Let's make a mark
All of these years you brought me here,
You brought me here!
I thank you,
All of these years that we come through!

Let's make love so big!
Make sure it can't be missed!
I'll carry all these days,
For months and for years,
I'll miss seeing you here!
All these days,
For months and for years,
I'll miss seeing you here!

Chorus:
Heads in the paint,
Let's make some stains!
Let's make some stains, ready dive!
Heads in the paint
Let's make a mark
All of these years you brought me here,
You brought me here!
I thank you,
All of these years that we come through!

Chorus:
Heads in the paint,
Let's make some stains!
Let's make some stains, ready dive!
Heads in the paint
Let's make a mark
All of these years you brought me here,
You brought me here!
I thank you,
All of these years that we come through!

I hear that shoe strings tend to break
but they tie back together great
I feel I know
i know where youre coming from

Notebooks filled with lines
and the clocks filled with good times
i think i know
i know where youre coming from

ohh i know, i know where youre coming from

i never have enough
and you always have too much
i might just know,
i know where youre coming from

quarters full the wash
all the other coins are tossed
i said i know
i know where youre coming

ohhh i know where youre coming from

im on my feet today
and im walking to the grave
i drew this map by hand
to show you how to become a man

im on my feet today
and then im walking to the grave
i said i-i know where youre coming from
where youre coming from

we the broke the walls out
in this old bedroom of your house
to make rooms for dreams
i know where youre coming from

we hear they come and go
but today its here to stay
i said i know
i know where youre coming from

ohhh i know, i know where youre coming from

im on my feet today
and im walk in to the grave
i drew this map by hand
show you how to become a man

im on my feet today
and then i walk in to the grave
i said i-i know where youre coming from
where youre coming from

bruises and scrapes, our life's mistakes are nothing but bad weather.
hope you sneaked in all of my friends just so we could leave together.
the books i won't read,
the air that i will breathe,
the colors i'd have seen,
i'll leave these pages in the trees
today, leave good for great
leave sleep for late
leave good for great
leave sleep for late
leave good for great
leave sleep for late
leave good...
so many books that i didn't read,
but there's so much air i chose to breathe.
how about the colors that i've seen?
so i'll leave these pages in the trees.
i don't sit alone, i pick up my phone.
one day we'll say all that we had.
the beaten path is beaten fast.
i'm practicing hooks and jabs.
i traced a few lines, misread all the signs, slipped many times.
my blood's still red and i'm just fine.
today, leave good for great
leave sleep for late
leave good for great.
so many books that i didn't read,
but there's so much air i chose to breathe.
how about the colors that i've seen?
so i'll leave these pages in the trees.
we sing along, but the notes are wrong
we sing along, through night and dawn (repeat 6 more times)

. . .


the northeast, well it's all i really know,
with dust and bricks and some cars
in the snow.
it's like new york in the late summertime.
can breathe again, even through this lovely grime.
as i said, the skyline's brighter tonight,
but this time i turned on five more lights.
it's like new york in the late summertime.
can breath again, and your bones, they feel alive.
i've got the northeast on my side.

. . .


These these cracks tell time
and story lines
burdens post red explore

and all my fancy books are just for looks
it drives slow like this train
train's been delayed
take the long way
figured we'd hop up here

cut and cross wires
electric fires
reset your clocks
and rewrite your thoughts
it's burning down
let's keep it up
flames they grow strong
the louder the song

cut and cross wires
electric fires
reset your clocks
and rewrite your thoughts
it's burning down
let's keep it up
flames they grow strong
the louder the song

if rats rats run this race
i'll get first place
jordan's purses
the hair
old rabbit ears
no longer hear
television beware

cut and cross wires
electric fires
reset your clocks
and rewrite your thoughts
it's burning down
let's keep it up
flames they grow strong
the louder the song

cut and cross wires
electric fires
reset your clocks
and rewrite your thoughts
it's burning down
let's keep it up
flames they grow strong
the louder the song



cut and cross wires
electric fires
reset your clocks
and rewrite your thoughts
it's burning down
let's keep it up
flames they grow strong
the louder the song

cut and cross wires
electric fires
reset your clocks
and rewrite your thoughts
it's burning down
let's keep it up
flames they grow strong
the louder the song

three teeth left his silver smile
brushed clean three metal tiles
and tiles like parking lots
three miles it never stops boy
you'll be okay boy
your silver tiles

and all our hopes
and all our friends
through parking lots
it's where we've been

shoes have grown mighty old
pants faded knees with holes
stitched up now silver thread
fixed up now like i said boy
you'll be okay boy
your silver thread boy
your silver tiles
your silver bones

and all our hopes
and all our friends
through parking lots
i found this
B i got in school

three teeth left his sliver smile
burnt skin from miles and miles
of crossing parking lots
three miles it never stops boy
you'll be okay boy
your silver tiles
your silver bones
with silver sides

and all our hopes
and all our friends
through parking lots
i found this
B i got in school

and all our hopes
and all our friends
through parking lots
i found this
B i got in school
it's the B i got in school

. . .


Ceilings falling down
Broken bricks and salty air
Sleeping on the ground
grasses much greener from down here
Ceilings falling down
I hold my hands up high
Ceilings falling down
I gave, I took, I try

Ice melts all around me
water down me, we'll
water down me
we'll never be
Ice melts all around me
together we will
together we will
make it freeze

Hold my hands up high
and shout out all my dumb demands
Feet tap what I say
but it sounds
why you in a stance?

Ceilings falling down
I hold my hands up high
Ceilings falling down
I gave, I took, I try

Ice melts all around me
water down me, we'll
water down me
we'll never be
Ice melts all around me
together we will
together we will
make it freeze

Searching for my left shoe in a pile of only right
Ice melts quickly, don't forget me!
It's bright out there, I'm wearing white.

Ceilings are falling down,
It's time to run and hide.
Ceilings falling down,
I stood and watched inside.

Ice melts all around me
water down me, we'll
water down me
we'll never be
Ice melts all around me
together we will
together we will
make it freeze!
(x2)
