Heart and Soul

Pantomimes, things you'd never call lies
It was an inside plan for eventual demise
And the gatekeeper sank when his heart fossilized
He found the treasure first, but his boat capsized
Found Saharan sands in her iPhone hands
Left the coffee-stained map for the next couple plans
Left her diamonds there, so she'd know she'd have friends
If she ever weathers the storm
Whoa...
Oh can you take it real slow
I want you crawling back for more
Oh can you take it real slow
I need you crawling back for more
Sun-drenched thighs and an apple-pie guise
She had the fog baptized to keep her thoughts organized
And the dust grew thick on her faded Levis
She left her fate to rest with a few fireflies
Found a wiretap on the songs in her mind
Cleared the static to hear her heart's faint reply
And though it all comes back to whether it could belie
The true story of her life
Oh can you take it real slow
I want you crawling back for more
Oh can you take it real slow
I need to taste your heart and soul
Oh can you take it real slow
I want you crawling back for more
Oh can you take it real slow
I want to taste your heart and soul

Painting Pictures

You're painting pictures for a sorry day
You see the sunlight but it looks all grey out there
But I'll be with you if you say my name
I'm still inside of you baby
(so you say...)
You tried to steer but you're dead stuck astray
They want to love you but they can't foreplay, what they'll
Think about it or what they'll say, if you
Let them in you're crazy, oh
Well you color my eyes when
I can't see the light and
I can't find my way to you
Oh, well I run and I hide when
I can't be beside you
And you're all that I want to do, oh
Well you cover my eyes
When I can't handle sight, and
You're all that I need from you
Oh, I swear that I've tried and
I can't keep on trying
All the way from here to you

Can't Feel Your Toes
03:01

They say it used to shimmer
Like white lightning wrapped around her finger
And her eyes were so bright
They kept the world alight
And him, around her finger
They say he'd spend a fortune
To run to the mountains, and sit by the river
But she's dancing in the flowers
In the valley below
I want to know
How many more
Made you feel this way in your toes
And as you weigh the world
On your kitchen scale
I hope you don't forget the rose
And if I'm hurting would you play it off
Or would you care in any way
And if i hurt you would you save it all
Or would you let it go, another day
Pushing down the lidocaine
So you can face the light of day
Hiding in your hideaway
Following the sun
Swimming in a drop of rain
Sipping on forgotten pain
Wishing it was left to drain
And vanish in the sun
Renewing in the light of day
Arcing from the sun and rain
Floating in the cloud's remains above
Sipping on the light of day
So you can put the night away
Simulating hideaways
Safe from the sun

Ashes
02:52

I'm not sure what to say
just liked that dress you wore last Sunday
And I...couldn't see
But seems you felt just like
Your father said you would one day
And we fall with the ashes
But they're not to blame
And of all the matches
It was the one in the rain
And I'm ready to answer
But the call never came
Yeah we all turn to ashes
But they're not the same, no
Not sure how to pray
You'll change your mind, you said you'd
Always make way
For the winds on the brae
But I...couldn't wish
Away the sound of the organ that
Carries you down in your bridal gown
But if we fall with the ashes
Then we'll climb up the rain
And you're pouring our mattress
From the window pane
And I can't bear to answer
The call of the crane
Oh we all burn to ashes,
We all burn the same

Can't Follow You Home
02:31
|

I turned only 18 last week
You were turning 30 before you had teeth
I was drowning inside my relief
That I could hide forever between the sheets
And there was nothing left for me to speak
As you implore the ceiling that you've run plum out of sheep
And darling I'm afraid that you might sweep
Our love under the bed as you scrub the footprints clean, and
I couldn't know
Why your gardens never grow
But if you ask me to rack my brain, I'd
Say there's nothing left
And if you say you can't take me this way, I
Can't follow you home, oh
You were drifting slowly through the peat
As I was drinking it distilled till I felt not so weak
And the barn doors never transcended their creaks
As the wind howled and they lamented every leak
But there was so much left for us to see
Between the water's sunset, and its weary feet, and
I couldn't know
Why your gardens never grow
But if you ask me to rack my brain, I'd
Say there's nothing left
And if you say you can't take me this way, I
Can't follow you home, oh
