Nostalgia » The lyrics [+ Add +] |
1. _ Distance
Another tired Monday evening
This is the seventh in a row
I'm awake and barely breathing
In and out the great unknown
The distance singing softly
Calling out
Keeping time
From so far
I smell a fire burning
Something in me stirs
I'm suddenly nostalgic
For what I'm not quite sure
There's no stillness in my mind
No solace in a dark with no stars
I sit and watch the autumn colors change
In careful patches leaves are rearranged
The west wind blowin'
Through the window screen
I hope its strong enough to carry me
It's been a long, long day
For a sad, sad song
How the nights get cold
When the summer moves on
Am I running too fast
Is my heart worn thin
Am I running too fast
Am I chasing the wind
The world won't stop its spinning
I pretend I have a choice
About staying here or leaving
For the laughter and the noise
The distance singing softly
Calling out
Keeping time
From so far
I sit and watch the daylight dance away
I wonder where it goes and where it stays
The west wind blowin'
Through the window screen
And I hope it's strong enough to carry me
It's been a long, long day
For a sad, sad song
How the nights get cold
When the summer moves on
Am I running too fast
Is my heart worn thin
Am I running too fast
Am I chasing the wind
Am I chasing the wind
Am I chasing the wind
I sit and watch the autumn colors change
In careful patches leaves are rearranged
The west wind blows
Through the window screen
I hope it's strong enough to carry me
It's been a long, long day
For a sad, sad song
How the nights get cold
When the summer moves on
Am I running too fast
Is my heart worn thin
Am I running too fast
Am I chasing the wind
It's been a long, long day
It's been a long, long day
It's been a long, long day
It's been a long, long day
For a sad sad, song
How the nights get cold
When the summer moves on
Am I running too fast
Is my heart worn thin
Am I running too fast
Am I chasing the wind

5. _ Blue Eyes
Your color is purple
Your food is Chinese
You're a sucker for buying one and getting one free
Thursdays at 8:00
You watch your TV shows
CSI and Friends
These things I know
But what makes your eyes so blue?
Is it something inside of you?
What makes you beautiful?
I wish I knew
Is it your light shining through?
You're thinking about law school
You haven't made your mind up yet
You're thinking about dinner
You're counting up the hours of sleep that you'll get
You want to move somewhere
Where it doesn't rain or snow
You wish you were a dancer
You think Bono's got the answer
You're a democrat
These things I know
But what makes your eyes so blue?
Is it something inside of you?
What makes you beautiful?
I wish I knew
But what makes your eyes so blue?
Is it something inside of you?
What makes you beautiful?
Is it your light shining through?
I know just what makes you laugh
And what makes you cry
I know when you're sad you don't have to say why
I know what you love
I know what you don't
I know when you will when you might when you won't
But what makes you you?
What makes your eyes blue?
What makes your eyes so blue?
Is it something inside of you?
What makes you so beautiful?
I wish I knew
But what makes your eyes so blue?
Is it something inside of you?
What makes you so beautiful?
I wish I knew
What makes your eyes so blue?
Is it something inside of you

6. _ One by One
Now my dead end street
Is a cul-de-sac
For every acre gone
There's five new Cadillac's
Well I know I'm too young
To get so damn strung out by all that
But all our small-town stores
Have got new big-name signs
And the sky gets tangled
In new telephone lines
I dial three more numbers
For the same old friends of mine
Don't go changing on me
Don't go rearranging
Don't go changing on me now
How long
Till every single star is gone
One by one
They leave you when your day is done
It's always pop-star stories
On my TV screen
Who slept with who and where
And why it wasn't what it seemed
I listened all day
And still the radio played
The same three things
Don't go changing on me
Don't go rearranging
Don't go changing on me now
How long
Till every single star is gone
One by one
They leave you when your day is done
Wait!
Hold up the fading sky
It's hard to feel real
With all this light in your eyes
Wait!
Save a fading star
One by one
I wonder where they
Are
How long
Till every single star is gone
One by one
They leave you when your day is done
One by one
They leave you when your day is done
One by one
They leave you when your day is done

7. _ Invincible
I never thought any of this would break
It was a good dream
It's not easy trying to wake
I never thought we'd end up here this way
Then again, I don't think too much
About anything I say
About anything I say
Life was hard and the walk was far
It didn't matter then
Every wrong turn we made
And the price we paid
It didn't matter then
I know it's been hard to wait so long on a miracle
But wasn't it good to feel so strong and invincible
I never thought any of this would break
We built it so carefully
It would weather any quake
I don't know how far we'll fall
But anymore I don't know too much about anything at all
Anything at all
Life was hard and the walk was far
It didn't matter then
Every wrong turn we made
And the price we paid
It didn't matter then
I know it's been hard to wait so long on a miracle
But wasn't it good to feel so strong and invincible
Things are different now
And it's a wild world
Here's to waking up
When it was painful
Here's to living again
This isn't the way it was supposed to end
I couldn't blame you
For walking out now
I'm kinda tired, too
But I thought that somehow
We could hold up the sky
I guess this means
I never thought any of this would break
It was a good dream it's not easy trying to wake
Easy trying to wake
Life was hard and the walk was far
It didn't matter then
Every wrong turn we made
And the price we paid
It didn't matter then
I know it's been hard to wait so long on a miracle
But wasn't it good to feel so strong and invincible
Life was hard and the walk was far
It didn't matter then
Every wrong turn we made
And the price we paid
It didn't matter then
I know it's been hard to wait so long on a miracle
But wasn't it good to feel so strong and invincible
