The Weepies Album

Yesterday, when you were young,
everything you needed done was done for you.
Now you do it on your own
but you find you're all alone,
what can you do?

You and me walk on
cause you can't go back now.

You know there will be days when you're so tired that you can't take another step,
The night will have no stars and you'll think you've gone as far as you will ever get

but you and me walk on
cause you can't go back now
and yeah, yeah, go where you want to go
be what you want to be,
If you ever turn around, you'll see me.

I can't really say why everybody wishes they were somewhere else
but in the end, the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself

and you and me walk on
yeah you and me walk on
cause you can't go back now
walk on, walk on, walk on
you can't go back now

You named me judge the day that I was born
You asked too much to fix what you had torn
Things got out of hand, now I understand

And I'm out of your range
Now it's kind of strange
How we change orbit in our lives
You were kind of a moon outside of my room
I could just feel you nearby
Now I feel you gone
'Cause I know what side you're on
And it's not mine

I walk the line between now and then
It's deep sea diving with no oxygen
Guess I went somewhere to hide
Far behind my eyes
I willed you there to see
But you never came for me

Take the sky
For example
A canvas of a billion suns
But our local hero
Shines them out by day
Safe for the winking of a Venus or Mars

Even the stars
Sometimes fade to gray
Even the stars
Hideaway

I see the bare moon
Raise it’s big bald head
I see my friends play the fool
I’ll make my own way
In the wide world
Just know I don’t want to wander too far

Even the stars
Sometimes fade to gray
Even the stars
Hideaway

Even the stars
Sometimes fade to gray
Even the stars
Hideaway

It’s so calming
All kinds of names
Some say I don’t the play the right kind of game
I try to be honest
I try to be kind
And honestly leave when I know that it’s time
I know that it’s time

Hear a phoebe sing his only song
The summer’s day is hovering
I’ll write my full heart
Troubles while I can burst
Out the windows of our traveling car

Even the stars
Sometimes fade to gray
Even the stars
Hideaway
(x3)

Do you disapprove
Alright you’ve made your point
You don’t have to choose right now
I don’t have the time to step into that joint
No one wants to see my face there anyhow

Monday come like Tuesday
You were something else I will admit
I remember what you told me
I only wish I could forget
I only wish I could forget

Standing in the sun
Smoking quiet cigarettes
Just before I let you down
Funny how a heart shatters all at once
Seems like it should make a sound

Monday come like Tuesday
You were something else I will admit
I remember what you told me
I only wish I could forget
I only wish I could forget

Too much to ask
Just one kiss
You’ll never know
What I’m gonna miss
Yes I’m getting old
Wandering this way
Wondering what’s wrong and right
Traveled alone but the traffic holds it still
Did I lose the will to fight

Monday come like Tuesday
You were something else I will admit
I remember what you told me
I only wish I could forget
I only wish I could forget

All good things. (All good things.)
All good things. (All good things.)

Not sure where to go,
Everyone I know,
Says I'm to forgiving.
And now that I'm gone,
I don't wanna move on,
I just keep you living.

All good things. (All good things.)
Oh I wish you,
All good things. (All good things.)
Come to an end.
All good things. (All good things.)
Oh I wish you well.

This box inside of my head,
Empty side of the bed,
I fill this place without you.
I keep pushing the bruise,
'Cause I don't want to lose,
What I love about you.

All good things. (All good things.)
Oh I wish you,
All good things. (All good things.)
Come to an end.
All good things. (All good things.)
Oh I wish you well...

I could think of a million ways,
You've proved you're one to one.
So live inside of your shades of gray,
And nevermind the sunshine that I'll find.

I got so much space now,
I got a whole house,
With the wind blowing through.
I don't need somewhere to hide,
I got this whole world inside,
I was accustomed to showing you.

All good things. (All good things.)
Oh I wish you,
All good things. (All good things.)
Come to an end.
All good things. (All good things.)
Oh I wish you well...
All good things. (All good things.)
Ohhhh, ohh, ohh
All good things. (All good things.)
Ohh, ohh, ohh
All good things. (All good things.)
Oh I wish you well.

Sometimes it’s hard to say
Even one thing true
When all eyes have turned aside
They used to talk to you
And people on the streets seem to disapprove
So you keep moving away
And forget what you wanted to say

Little bird
Little bird
Brush your gray wings on my head
Say what you said
Say it again
They tell me I’m crazy
But you told me
I’m golden
Sometimes it’s hard to tell the truth from the lies
Nobody knows what’s in the hold of your minds
We are all building and people inside
Never know who walks through the door
Is it someone that you’ve met before

Little bird
Little Bird
Brush your gray wings on my head
Say what you said
Say it again
They tell me I’m crazy
But you told me
I’m golden
Little bird

I know what I know
A wind in the trees and a road
That goes winding ‘onder
From hear I see rain I hear thunder
Somewhere there’s sun
And you don’t need a reason

Sometimes it’s hard to find a way to keep on
Quiet weekends, holidays
You come undone
Open your window and look upon
All the kinds of alive you can be
Be still, be light, believe me

Little bird
Little Bird
Brush your gray wings on my head
Say what you said
Say it again
They tell me I’m crazy
But you told me
I’m golden
I’m golden

Left behind everything I knew
All the colors but bone-white and sky-blue
Hit the continent running
Engines were humming just to break through

Antarctica, my only living relative
Antarctica, I can't wait anymore

Under ice there's a world moving slow
Carnelian stars and the bars down below
Serve only vodka and gin
I try to stay drunk so nobody knows

And then there's morning
Each one feels like the first one
A morning, so clean, so pure
Nothing so clear, now that I'm here

When I get back to the city
Everything's cluttered and pretty
I won't regret my return
I'll just remember the wind and the snow
And the howling so loud
That it alone drowns out the inside of me

You never change your mind once it's made up
Unless it's to crawl back on your knees

Is that the way you want it?
You get back to the wall
And put your hands up
It's a holdup
You give up like every time before
That is how you survived the war

You really multiply all these divisions
You give yourself the least of parts
I put on my green felt hat, pack our provisions
Playing a merry Prince of Thieves

You're not gonna lose this one
You don't have to cut and run
I think you can choose to love and what is more
That is how you survived the war

Now in a summer's day, spring a ripened plum
How will you live under the sun?
You follow the open road, remembering the guns
When you get lost under the trees

It's hard to say what you mean to me
Everyone is scenery
So you take a late-night drive alone
Trying to get home

Ohh come on come on come on
Give me a sign, a light
'Cause there's another way
That I'd rather be
If I could only get you alone
It's an inside joke that I never get
And I'm dying inside
But I'm not dead yet

Everyone is beautiful
Traffic like a funeral
And everybody tries to keep in touch
Through the radio

Ohh come on come on come on
Give me a sign, a light
'Cause there's another way
That I'd rather be
If I could only get you alone
It's an inside joke that I never get
And I'm dying inside
But I'm not dead yet

I guess you would say
You still don't mind
Nevermind the years
Of wasted time
I see you blush
Later on, after everybody
Else is gone...

Waste it on a Saturday
Join the great majority
All the ways I tried to keep in touch
You'll never know.

Ohh come on come on come on
Give me a sign, a light
'Cause there's another way
That I'd rather be
If I could only get you alone
It's an inside joke that I never get
And I'm dying inside
But I'm not dead yet, dead yet...
Ahhh, oooh (x3)

Old Coyote waits out there
With his gray-brown hair and his three-mile stare
I walk backwards through the air
Devil may care, the devil may care now

Ring around rosy game
Always ends the same way
We all fall down
Get up now baby, get up now baby
It's your song, it's your song playing

Vision of Mary in Converse shoes
She's putting down roots and stars she shoots out
I am crying on her couch
Talking in tongues when the words won't come out

Old Coyote's faking sleep
Not counting sheep on the watch he keeps
We bring springtime into bloom inside these rooms
And outside under the moon

red dirt fields in Tennessee.
red dirt mud, slow wet feet.
red dirt clay stuck in my heart
clogging up the way
the tears come thru

I'm blue, just blue, just blue

Pale grey sky
above my head
dark gray room
my rolling bed

close my eyes
see you instead
neon cafe sign
across the street
is growing red

But I'm Blue, I'm blue
and there is not a thing to do
I'm blue, just blue, just blue

look into the window see what's caught my eye
duck in to avoid the rain a baby wants to cry

so do i, so do i

quiet and green
a few spring blooms
a reckless day
and sparkle rooms

paint my face and fingertoes
all
still blue
Im missing you
and theres not a thing to do
I'm blue, just blue, just blue
Just blue, just blue, just blue
Just blue, just blue, just blue

Trying not to hope too hard
For what I want
Trying not to go too far
With all the dreaming

All the disappointment
So hard to handle
I am still in the dark
Lighting candles

Late at night I Lie awake
Think I should go
Catch a train to stranger towns
Where no one knows me

All the disappointment
So hard to handle
I am still in the dark
Lighting candles

All the company you keep
The things you do
Something in my heart
Will not give all you

Now that I have got somewhere
Where will I go
LoveâЂ™s a train to city lights
Where someone knows you

All the disappointment
So hard to handle
I am still in the dark
Lighting candles
I am still in the dark
Lighting candles

I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know why it takes so long

I cut my hair, I grow it back
First the thought and then the act
To think a plant up towards the sun
It can't be done, it can't be done

I see you now, I saw you then
I know you more, and different
I can't contain it, still complain
Love's a weed, trust is rain

In a moment wings unfurl
A butterfly, a little girl
Star pieces fall to the ground
Streaks of light, just tonight

Sam and Libby, Lib and Sam
Made a little one of them
A baby's born a man to die
I don't know why, I don't know why

All this beauty;
You might have to close your eyes
And slowly open wide
All this beauty;
We traveled all night
We drank the ocean dry
And watched the sun rise...

You can ask about it
But nobody knows the way
No bread-crumb trail
To follow through your days
It takes an axe sometimes
A feather in the sunshine
And bad weather
It's a matter of getting deeper in
Anyway you can

All this beauty;
You might have to close your eyes
And slowly open wide
All this beauty;
We traveled all night
We drank the ocean dry
And watched the sun rise...

I can see you're new, awake
Let me assure you, friend
Every day is ice cream and chocolate cake
And what you make of it
Let me just say
You get what you take
From it, so be amazed
Whenever you stop...
You gotta be brave.

All this beauty;
You might have to close your eyes
And slowly open wide (all this beauty)
And watch the sun rise.
