1. _ Daisy
I didn't see it coming
I just thought that you were friendly
But here we are passionately embraced
I suppose it's kind of funny
But it's also kind of scary
That your kiss brought back a feeling i'd erased
When you said that you were lonely
And i said i thought you would be
Then you took me to a darker holy place
Then i said i liked to kiss you
And you said you loved to kiss me
Then kissed the sweetest kiss i'll ever taste
'cos i've known you for an hour
But you're growing like a flower in me
I've known you for a lifetime
Or we're soul mates from a past life
Daisy
It's all mixed with indecision
And a painful soulful spilling
Of everything i've ever felt or known
And you know that they're all looking
So you kiss me even harder
Then hold me and i just feel right at home
Your touch is soft and tender
So i raise my flag surrender
Then say "i feel you staring at my soul"
And it makes them all feel awkward
But our time here's more important
So we sink into our closed eyed painful hole
I'm scared of what will happen
So i kiss you, say i'll call you
Then i tell you so much i don't understand
Then you kiss me with an answer
And my question seems invalid
And i go to bed with daisies in my hand
I call you there's no answer
But i know i have to see you
So i call and call and call and call again
But you never get my message
Or you choose not to return it
Because you shouldn't, needn't, wouldn't or just can't
I'm lonely and i love you
For the moment that is what's true in me
I've known you now forever
Joined at the soul together
Daisy
There'll be no way to avoid you
When i see you in the movies
And i realize right now you're not here with me
If i'll see you in my lifetime
If again i'll feel you kiss me
I suppose that i'll just have to wait and see
But for now i'll just be grateful
To be touched by such an angel
And put it down as life experience
That my muse is just a daisy
With the most beautiful nature
Will one day fall back in my flower bed
And i know you said you love me
And that's the only memory left for me
'cos i need you more than ever
Joined at the soul together
Daisy

2. _ A Month Today
Just 18 i've seen the world
Done more than some their whole lives unfold
Still at school just saving face
But a month today i'll be leaving this place
I've lived a million lives so far
But i'm still naive and a broken heart
I feel like i've heard it all before
With a whole life ahead to hear a whole lot more
You wouldn't believe half the things i've seen
Way too much for just 18
I've written songs about them all so far
And played them all on an acoustic guitar
Life is good, it's been alright to me
I've recorded my heart on a couple lps
It all comes down to the same old thing
Trying to find someone to share it with
I'm lost, i know that the world is weird
I'm swimming in waters that i used to fear
Crazy things have made me kind of tough
Sometimes i think that i've seen too much
Just 18 i've seen the world
Done more than some their whole lives unfold
Still at school just saving face
But a month today i'll be leaving this place
But a month today i'll be leaving this place

3. _ 8 Years Old
Eight years old
I was in love with a girl
Eight years old
My only love meant the world
We'd hang out
Play catch and kiss at lunch time
I was young she was something to call mine
I'd be lying if i said i was not
Devastated and broken when she
Opened my hand slid hers in
Then walked away
It was bad
The only eight year old kid suicidal
In the school
Convinced i was down to survival
Melodramatic in my usual way
I was sure that the whole world would end
When the girl left that day
And it did
Seventeen years old
Riding home on the bus
Seventeen
Looking for someone to trust
The seat next to me
Sits down a girl i once loved
She looks at me
And then i remember her touch
She smiles
Then touches my knee
All of the sudden i'm eight years old not seventeen
Again
Here's this girl
I was in love, i was eight
Almost a decade later
A decade too late
So she smiles
Asks me "so how you been?"
Then gives me her number to go out sometime this weekend
My head is spinning it's all too surreal
Deja vu doesn't begin to describe how i feel
So i laugh
There's nothing to say
Maybe everything in my life's gonna end up this way

4. _ 2 Sisters
On the tv there's a picture frame with two separate photos in it
My two sisters that's just about the closest they've been
My folks will tell you they've been that way forever
I can't remember the last time they were in the same room together
You'll hear stories about how they used to fight
Screaming slamming doors keep the neighbors up at night
And me their evil baby child brother
Just about the last thing they have in common with each other
Two sisters everything is awkward, tense
Don't know each other and it doesn't make sense at all
Two sisters both led lives extreme
Tried to erase any similarities
Married, single, secure, a floating balloon
Tried to forget the fact that they both came from the same womb
Two sisters a deadly combination
Avoid it at all costs it's not worth the frustration
Maybe a brother and a sister would be best for all
Two sisters had so much in common
Now they don't know each other at all
You thought that they'd grow closer with age
You were mistaken, they'll go to their graves apart
Not regretting what they didn't do
Never missing the sister that they never knew
Maybe the friendly sibling myth is a scam
I don't know any siblings that walk around holding hands
Maybe we all expect too much of them
Not only to be sisters but also to be friends
Maybe two sisters need to fight scream and weep
Maybe if two sisters don't fight
Then two sisters will never speak
Keep your theories and parent psychology
It doesn't hold with me
A frame with two separate photos in it
Is the closest that my two sisters have been
A frame with two separate photos in it
Is the closest that my two sisters have been
A frame with two separate photos in it
A frame with two separate photos in it

5. _ Deep Talk In The Shallow End
If you were here i'd slap you senseless
Then i'd ask you where you've been
I'd tell you don't you know i worry
Sitting up each night in fear
And then i'd tell you that i'm angry
And i'd say you did me wrong
And that i hate you 'cos you sneak into
My every single song
If you were here you'd see the damage done
And then you'd feel the shame
I'd make you understand my pain
If you were 'round i'd show you wounds and scars
The proof that you were here
And then i'd make you cry like i did
If my point still was not clear
If you were here i'd scream and
Maybe trash the room if i had time
And then one single word would break your spirit
Just the same as you broke mine
If you were here you'd realize what you did
Stay for a million years
I'd make you cry my tears
But you're not here
And i'm not strong
And this whole thing has gone on too long
I need to leave this on my shelf
But instead i say it to myself
If you were here i'd slap you senseless
If only you were here

6. _ Grammercy Park Hotel
It's 3 am in new york
Sometime in 1995
The other half of the world
The other side
It might have been warm outside, maybe cold
Who could tell?
Three of us stumbled into room 421
At the grammercy park hotel
It's 3 am in new york
We sat for a while
We started to talk
We started to smile
Then he played a song i knew very well
3 am in new york
At the grammercy park hotel
He passed the guitar around
Over and over and over again
Till one of us broke a string
It was probably him
But the songs came out strong
They were loud, they were long
There were songs about girls, about boys
Sung a lot, screamed a lot
We made lots of noise
It's 3 am in new york
It's the time of my life
Minstrels and maidens and heartbroken songs
Made me cry
And we were anonymous, androgynous
Bearers of truth
And the indie rock columnists would have freaked out
If they knew
It's 3 am in new york
And i knew we were right
We were young, not so young
And in love with our lives
3 am in new york
I went back to bed
Three lone true prophets
With songs in our heads
It's 3 am in new york
And i just felt god
Lying awake in the dark
I was in awe
And i know in reality
It might not be true
But for three of us here in new york
It's all we could do
I know it's just songs, played on guitars
It's not rocket science, flying to mars
And i know it's not much, but it's all that i have
To be sure that i'm real
Again and again
And if there comes a day
When my fingers don't work
Or my voice loses sound
Gives me grief, gives me hurt
Well, i swear on that day
When i lose what's worthwhile
From that day forth i never shall smile
It's 3 am in new york
I feel fine, i feel well
Sound asleep
At the grammercy park hotel

7. _ Ketchum
Today i got my call from ketchum idaho
From hemingway and railways and whiskey wine and snow
But if you've never been in pain before then i guess you wouldn't know
I'm leaving in a while now for ketchum's icy sting
To walk and fish and write some songs, to stay up late and drink
And if i stay there long enough then i'll never feel a thing
And ketchum will be good to you if are strong and brave
She caters to the melancholy every single day
And babbles like a drunk old man unloading all his pain
I'll lock myself in ketchum's stare i'll make her my whole world
I'm gonna roam the ketchum streets to find a ketchum girl
And then i'll let her break my heart 'cos that's all that i do well
The valley will become my home her hills will keep me safe
I'll give her songs about my soul when there's no soul left to take
And i'll forget i ever lived in any other place
And it may seem inevitable i would love this fate
So beautiful and tragic and her heroes can't escape
And hemingway he shot himself one july evening late
But me i couldn't bring myself to bloody ketchum's name
Underneath her passion boils, never spoils surface tame
I'll slowly let her kill me with her lonely wind and rain
Her lonely tears and pain

8. _ How To Survive A Broken Heart
I should let this go but i just can't
And now it's just a lesson i can't grasp
So what's really the best that i could do
To hope to see you every year or two
And the things you said
Do they still make sense
Could you mean them now
Did you even mean them then
I could torture myself insane and tense
But i don't have the strength
I'm crushed in pain you drifted through my life
But even looking back i know it's right
I gave you my heart scared complete and whole
When all you ever asked for was my soul
And there's nothing left
But a song or two
That mean not a thing
If i can't play them for you
If i could hear your voice just one more time
Maybe i'd be fine
But i guess i won't
'cos it's too late now
And i guess you're gone
'cos it's too late now
And the pain i feel
Is all i can take
Maybe this turn of karma
Is too late
Maybe i was wrong
Maybe i was caught in a net of passion
Maybe i was caught
Maybe i should take it all with salt
And soon i'll believe that it's not my fault
And it's not my fault
And it's not my fault
And it's not my fault
And it's not my fault
And it's not my fault
And it's not my fault
If i say it enough
I'll believe that it's not my fault

9. _ Long Train Ride
I pass a town without a name
Seen through the window of a train
A boy and girl stand side by side
The train arrives, she kisses him goodbye
She turns away then steps on board
He thought he'd die but now he's sure
But as he thinks of one last thing to say
The train just rolls away
I pass a station with no sign
An old man gets on the train just in time
He used to love this town despite the rain
But since his wife died it's not been the same
He curses himself, he was weak
At his wife's grave he could not speak
But as he thinks that maybe he should stay
The train just rolls away
The driver likes his coffee strong and hot
The train he drives is everything he's not
He watches the sad people board the train
Then laughs as he pulls out and rolls away
Hits a hundred, no holding back
Then his dear train comes off the track
The news report said instant death, no pain
But who's really to say?
But who's really to say?
The train just rolled away
The train just rolls away

10. _ My Drifting Nature
We used to be the best of friends
I wrote a song for you
You'd call me for no reason
Talk about tv and food
We used to be the best of friends
You read my horoscope
You said i wasn't anal enough to be a virgo
I said that's what i hoped
I admitted i was scared to you
I said i couldn't sleep
I told my jokes and they were bad
You laughed to humour me
We used to be the best of friends
We flirted but no more
Sometimes we'd drop each other hints
That we would both ignore
But now we're not the best of friends
We said we'd always be
There was a night i should've kissed you
That blame belongs to me
'cos you got a boyfriend, got a life
I guess he took my place
I started speaking to you less and less
Till you were just another face
But sometimes our eyes meet
Sometimes we look around
Then one of us will look away
I usually look down
The other night i was hanging out
Red eyes, wet hair
I looked across the circle
And you were sitting there
The moment lasted forever
The reefer round this time
I took the hit and passed it on
Inside i nearly cried
When i think about the friends i've had
Forgotten faces in a crowd
The many times i've bared my soul
I've grown this old, i've cried out loud
I looked at you, you sat in shock
I looked at you, you sat in shock
My drifting nature has got to stop
My drifting nature's got to stop

11. _ New Song
My heart it is eternal
And my soul it often flies
You can see it in the evenings soaring through the skies
And it takes me close to madness
Though it never really tries
I've crossed a million rivers
And i've walked a million miles
I've kissed a holy angel and i've tried to show some style
I never even questioned
How i know it's all worthwhile
But i'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
And i'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
And i'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
I will fall
My legs they get so tired
And my head it often screams
You can hear the thoughts all turning overload of fears and dreams
I don't mind the sting of feeling
But it burns when i'm empty
I'll ride the road i've chosen
And at times i know i'll fall
I have nothing to lose now so i want to taste it all
Wintertime in glendale
Till the next location calls
But i'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
And i'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
And i'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
I will fall
I'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
And i'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
And i'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
I will fall
I'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
And i'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
And i'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
I will fall
Well there's no one left but you now babe
Got to say that it's your call
I'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
And i'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
And i'm gonna make it through and i'm gonna do it all
I will fall

12. _ End Of The World
I don’t wanna ride this rollercoaster
think I wanna get off
but they’ve buckled me down like it’s
the end of the world
if you don’t wanna have this conversation
then you’d better get out
cause we’re climbing to our death
at least that’s what they want you tot think
just in case we jump the track
I have a confession to make
but it’s something like a corkscrew
I don’t wanna fall, I don’t wanna fly
I don’t wanna be dangled over
the edge of a dying romance
but I don’t wanna stop. I wanna lie
I don’t wanna believe its over
I just wanna stay with you tonight
I didn’t mean to scream out quite so loudly
when we screeched to a halt, I’m just never
prepared for the end of the ride
maybe we should get on something simpler
mike a giant balloon?
I’ve got two tickets left, and so do you
instead of giving them away to some
stranger, let’s get back in line again
and ride the big one
don’t you wanna fall?
don’t you wanna fly?
don’t you wanna be dangled over the edge
of this aching romance?
and it it’s gonna end then I wanna know
that we squeezed out every moment
but if there is nothing left
can you tell me why that it is
you’re holding onto me like it’s
the end of the world?
