Certain Kind of Man

There's a certain type of man who does things a certain way
And he never means to do 'em his thoughts they just drift far away
And before he knows it
He's gotten away with it
And messed everything in his life up
There's a vague sense of triumph in trying to be what he's not
And a peculiar way of running when he discovers he's been caught
Like a stupid kid
Throwing a tantrum he thinks
He's messed everything in his life up
On his own life may seem long but he's never been one to complain
At least not anything important
He's been there before and found intentions are irrelevant
And he's never had such good intentions anyway
Ever wonder why we look at the sky and ask why are we here?
With the wind at faces we hold hands to keep each other near
Sometimes I can't help but
Cry for all creation
Cuz we messed everything in this life up.

Genuine Fake

Sitting in a living room
Pretending to read
Keep looking busy
Because someone might see
She's looking at the clock
Counting the minutes down
She's trying to be true
But only when he's around
I'm a genuine fake
Guaranteed to lie
This is perfect bullshit
You shouldn't be surprised
I won't even try
She's hungry for answers
And not too ashamed to ask
Behind a total wreck
She's never looking back
And gazing out at the desert
Wonders how far she'll go,
Wakes up in a rental car
From dreams he'll never know
I'm a genuine fake
Guaranteed to lie
This is perfect bullshit
You shouldn't be surprised
I won't even try

Between Two Sorrows

Playing with matches
In a room on fire
Ready to light this house of cards
And watch it all spiral
I bought a oneway ticket
In the bathroom
I thought if you were standing there
I couldn't say I'm leaving you
I wanted to be
Your one and only
Now I've played the fool
I'm ready to see
Where does a man like me
Go when he's lonely
But I can't hang around
This town is dead to me
Leave behind the only one I've loved
I'll call you drunk to say I'm sorry
I'm better loved from far away
Where no can put me out
In the studio till morning comes
Running out of things to write about

Roots
03:33

One life to be open
One door to be closed during the day
One mind to put together
One home and a desire to stay
When you've found the right position
And you're staring worried at the ceiling
Close your eyes dear, and imagine
You're in every bed you've ever been in
You've got roots
Reaching down through the earth
You've got beds
Reaching back to your birth
I saw the future in a dream
We had a boy who looked like me
I can't recall the life that I led
The man I was has long been dead
You've got roots
Reaching down through the earth
You've got beds
Reaching back to your birth

Will I Love You
03:06

Our last night was thursday
Then we said goodbye
Through the glass I was watching
To see if you'd be alright
I know what you're thinking
When you're not near
Where there are so many questions
This answer seems so clear
Will I love you tomorrow?
As sure as the sun will rise
Can I love you from a distance?
As sure as the moon moves the tides.
You bought me a poster
I hung it at my place
You say that you missed me
I see it on your face
How could I do you justice?
So simple and right
I'll walk to your apartment
And stay with you tonight
Will I love you tomorrow?
As sure as the sun will rise
Can I love you from a distance?
As sure as the moon moves the tides.

Lights In The Sky

When I saw you on the other side
I said I wouldn't breathe a word
But I know better
And you known better too
Everyone can see it my eyes
We only run to each other
When we feel the need
Lights in the sky drift away
And we wonder what we've seen
I see you discreetly thru an open door
While you talk it out on the phone
And we're so close sometimes it's hard to tell we're separate
As we fidget with our clothes
We only run to each other
When we feel the need
Lights in the sky drift away
And we wonder what we've seen
I saw it floating in the sky one day
Hovering outside my window
I couldn't believe it'd finally happened
I felt like I probably should have died
We only run to each other
When we feel the need
Lights in the sky drift away
And they wonder what they've seen
