Ticket To Concord

We roam, like wolves
Through alleyways and empty spaces of our homes
Haunted and searching for a place to call our own
From across the wind swept peaks
To the places we hide our hearts
This piercing loneliness calls us back to the dark, back to the dark
We love, through smoke
Our little flames will light the way and lead us home
Are we to Blame?
If we ignore the knocks at our door?
If we’re in love on the floor?
What if there’s a war?
What if there’s a war?

Take it to the Sun
02:01

Bring all you need
See what is unseen
On the mountain you know
What is down below
(That which is timeless is found now)
The rain, the wind your fingertips, your eyes, all we adore
On the mountain it comes don’t ask for more
Take it to the sun

When You Get to the Top

Someday, when I’m older Im gonna learn to climb these trees
Some nights, I just wanna pray at your feet
Some nights I wanna be a soldier in uniform coming home to see my baby
Then I realize that I’ll never be, oh I’ll never be
No Romeo
His story’s been told
But I can be, the kid who’s gonna drive you home
No and I can’t be, no dashing prince from little Italy, a bohemian living on the street
But I’ll take you home, oh I’ll take you home
Maybe Friday night, we can dance and sway
But I’m all out of charm, and I’m afraid to live this way
I say damn it all
Can’t I just break through?
Someday when I’m older can’t I just be, oh can’t I just be
Your Romeo
Our story ain’t told
And I’m still, the kid who’s gonna drive you home
By the light of the moon, I watched the pavement sketch your silhouette
Your eyes flashing red like the ambulance down Detroit streets, where I plan to be
Glistening Light in the heat of the city
Mescaline eyes, but your mind and knees are at ease, oh at ease
What movie stars do we steal from now?
I got my own Greta Garbo with a Motown vibe
She’s all cloak and shadow, smiles and scars, the cool of a dagger, the heat off a car
And she don’t
Need nothing
No she don’t
Need nothing
At all

Peak

This mountain’s too high I can’t break, my fall
I’ve climbed to the top I think I’ll live up here, with the snow and all
Every animal is a comrade
Every season brings its taste
I’m living out here with Japhy Ryder
Screaming into space
A sleeping bag and a can of beans, the stars are miles wide
Oh glistening peak, King of Sierra Nevada
Falling night washes over me, in between the trees
“This is life,” he shouts, and I agree
Freedom Infinity
And you can’t go back
When you learn something like that
You’ll never feel secure, in that old suburb
The peak says it all, you’re here, what do you do now?

Snow in June
03:11
|
|||
|
We lie on old oak in summers gaze
Fight our eyes to stay awake
My words don’t work around you
There’s no snow in June
I wanna grow with you
I wanna root deep down, into the earth
With pious truth I’ll raise you up and hold you close
And we’ll die too soon there’s no snow in June
I can feel your heart shoot through my bones and I’m bound and bruised
If we only had tonight, I know just what we’d do
I dream of fireworks
You dream of Hope
I fall apart at your lips, and you would pick me up
Just you and me
Midnight looms
Could it be?
Snow in June?

Lovely Thing

Take your hands off your face
I can see you’re scared to say
What you feel you know is true
Be sure my heart belongs to you
The shadows show the light
You cannot hide what burns so bright
And you know that this is true
Because I showed those words to you

I don’t deserve you
After all the lies I’ve told
Like when I moved to Colorado
I’m just ashamed of where I’m from
Most of me is true
Like the way I feel about you
My arm around you in the cold, the way you look me in the eye, the ache I feel after goodbye
Let’s talk, on god, over coffee that I won’t drink
I’ll tell you what I really think, about you
I’ll say “No one quite makes my mind move like you, and your smile just seems to easy
I think you make me better, I don’t want die young anymore”
And I don’t wanna die young, die young anymore
And I don’t wanna die young, die young, anymore

See Ya

My head spins around
As I try to catch your eyes tonight, I really think I might this time
Keep it simple, brown eyes, turn your key with mine
Broadway was meant for girls like you
One day You’re Gonna Miss it All, if you hide behind your walls
So let me tear ‘em down and speed past the rules that seem so cruel that kept us from screaming out
Under the street lights
Waiting for sunrise
Maybe the car dies
Or maybe we do
But I’ll see you in the front seat, we’ll stare at the stars
We’ll drive to New York, maybe we won’t get that far
Aren’t you scared? Aren’t you ready fro a change? Fall in love, Fade away
That is all that can say
Through stones in my throat, bleeding vessels, broken bone
There was something in the air, this little flicker made me feel like you cared
This cosmic pull, a flare of hope, but you say “I don’t know where we stand anymore”
Then you dropped it all and you walked away, away.
Away, away, away, away.
I think I let her go, but when I’m all alone
I see her face, and I realize, I’m a liar.
But thats ok
Ill let her go
Sometimes you gotta let go of who you love.

Your Ice blue eyes watch the tide roll in
Fade in and out, turn pages in the wind
We can live like kings on hozomeen
We can have it all, thats all we need
Whats so great about black hair and blue eyes?
And the birds they sing in harmony and the green grass eyes flash over me
In the woods this feels surreal
Empty hearts and open fields
I know what I need to do I gotta hold on to this feeling
I gotta take another shot I gotta take it to the top Im gone take you to the top
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta love
What do you want?
What are you doing this for?
The American dream?
The American war?
But your skins so warm and your legs so long
And I want your mind and I need your love
I know what’s great about
Black hair and blue eyes
I know what I need to do I gotta hold on to this feeling
I gotta take another shot I gotta take it to the top Im gone take you to the top
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta love

Lovely Thing (Reprise)
02:40

Somedays I’d rather be at home or maybe just dead
These car rides I dread because I, fell too far, I’m still not sure
These words I’ve never said, to you
You’re the reason I’m not stuck in some old junk house in Jersey, strung out with my old friends
But I am nothing again, leave it I’ll just go
I know you’ll never know, you’ll never know, you’ll never know
What If I was worth it?
What If we deserve this?
What if you see what I see?
(Theres nowhere, for me to, go right now)
(I am just too late I guess)
