Two Lights (2006)

There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him

Wait, what's the sense in life
Come over me, Come over me

Two Lights (2006)

Lonely, yeah that's the word
I leave my heart when I leave her
The days go on forever and the nights do too

Two Lights (2006)

Got a package full of Wishes
A Time machine, a Magic Wand
A Globe made out of Gold

No Instructions or Commandments
Laws of Gravity or
Indecisions to uphold

Two Lights (2006)

What is Courage
Is it Brave
What are Lions
I've only seen them in parades
How is love supposed to read
In a footnote of history
What's a tap on your shoulder
That you're afraid to look over
A soldier's down in a fire fight
No one can look me in the eye

Two Lights (2006)

I took a flag to a pawn shop
For a broken guitar
I took a flag to a pawn shop
How much is that guitar
I took a flag to a pawn shop
I Got me that guitar
What's a flag in a pawn shop to me?

The Battle for Everything (2004)

I'm 15 for a moment
난 한때 15살이었지
Caught in between 10 and 20
10살과 20살 사이에서
And I'm just dreaming
난 그저 꿈꾸고 있었지
Counting the ways to where you are
네가 있는 곳을 향할 방법을 생각하며

15 there's still time for you
15살, 너는 아직 충분한 시간이 있어
Time to buy and time to lose
뭔가를 얻고, 잃어버리기에
15, there's never a wish better than this
15살이 되는 건 더할 나위 없는 소원이야
When you only got 100 years to live
네가 만약 100살까지밖에 살 수 없다면

I'm 33 for a moment
난 한때 33살이었지
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
여전히 사람이었지, 하지만 넌 사람들로 볼거야
A kid on the way
같이 가는 아이와
A family on my mind
가족이 있으니까

I'm 45 for a moment
난 한때 45살이었지
The sea is high
바다는 한창이었고
And I'm heading into a crisis
난 위험한 고비를 향해 가고 있었지
Chasing the years of my life
내게 주어진 삶을 살아가면서

15 there's still time for you
15살, 너는 아직 충분한 시간이 있어
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
뭔가를 얻고
Within a morning star
샛별을 보는 데 정신이 팔릴 만한.

15 I'm all right with you
15살은 정말 좋은 시간이야.
15, there's never a wish better than this
15살이 되는 건 더할 나위 없는 소원이야
When you only got 100 years to live
네가 만약 100살까지밖에 살 수 없다면

Half time goes by
절반이 지나갔어
Suddenly you're wise
넌 갑자기 눈치채겠지
Another blink of an eye
또 한번의 눈이 깜빡이면서
67 is gone
67살도 지나갔다고
The sun is getting high
태양은 점점 높아지고
We're moving on...
우리는 나아가고 있다고..

I'm 99 for a moment
난 한때 99살이었지
Dying for just another moment
다음 한 순간을 지내기 위해서 죽어가고 있었어
And I'm just dreaming
그리고 난 그저 꿈꾸고 있었지
Counting the ways to where you are
네가 있는 곳을 향할 방법을 생각하며

15 there's still time for you
15살, 너에게는 아직 시간이 있어
22 I feel her too
22살에 나도 그녀를 느꼈지
33 you're on your way
33살에 넌 너의 길을 가고 있지
Every day's a new day...
나날이 새로운 날들을 맞이하면서...

15 there's still time for you
15살, 너에겐 아직 시간이 있어
Time to buy and time to choose
무언가를 얻고, 선택할 만한
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
이봐 15살, 만약 네가 100살까지 산다면
When you only got 100 years to live
지금이 최고의 시기야.

The Battle for Everything (2004)

I Woke up got my lazy ass out of bed
I Watered all the rocks growing in my head
I Had a thought...and fell asleep on you...

There I was somewhere West of Tomorrow Land
Flying through the stars just like Peter Pan
I said...Damn this looks too good to be true...

There she goes... my heart again (would you mind rolling over)
I can feel it in the air (something's coming down)
I don't know and I don't care that it's a small world

It's a nice day if you wake up in Disneyland...
It's a nice day when you wake up in Disneyland...

In my dream everybody's got a little house
A dog, a bank account managed by Mickey Mouse
And the only thing we fight about is the Lakers...

In my dream all the pirates down in Neverland
Never get the Hook... they just get a hand
While the crocs sing Superman till we just can't take it...

There she goes... my heart again (do you mind rolling over)
I can feel it in the air (something's coming down)
I don't know and I don't care if it's a small world

It's a nice day when you wake up in Disneyland...
It's a nice day if you wake up in Disneyland...

We can fly away...

I Woke up got my lazy ass out of bed
I Watered all the rocks growing in my head
I Had a thought... and I looked up to see

The sign read the park she's closed today
E-tickets don't work here no more anyway
Where every day's a magic day to be free You see...

It's a nice day when you wake up in Disneyland...
It's a nice day should you wake up in Disneyland...
It's your L.U.C.K.Y. day should you wake up in Disneyland...
It's a nice day should you wake up in Disneyland...

The Battle for Everything (2004)

I met Jane at the center of the earth
It was dark there was dirt all around
But I gather you can figure that

Jane says I'm your body in the night
And I'll lead you where you might find yourself
Better if you follow me

So go right you'll be left at a big hotel
You'll meet the devil at the bottom of a wishing well
You know you better give him something
Give him something good
Like everybody else he's misunderstood

Jane says it's a long way out...
I'm gonna make it out
Cause I'm about her

Jane says, you're as Holy as a ghost,
But who loves you the most, if you offer
I might let you carry me

Jane there's nobody here but yourself
In the end it's the wealth of your spirit
Now hurry up get on with it

I went left I got right at some big hotel
There was a devil at the bottom of the wishing well
He said you better give me something
Give me something good
Like everybody else I'm misunderstood

Jane says it's a long way out
I'm gonna make it out
Cause I'm about
Jane says it's a long way out
I'm gonna make it out

I took a guess and cut a portion out of my heart
He said that's nowhere close enough but it's a damn good start
I wrote the secret that I buried on the wishing well wall
He said I've seen one... it follows that I've seen them all
We spoke of human destination in a perfect world
Derived the nature of the universe (found it unfulfilled)
As I took him in my arms he screamed I'm not insane
I'm just looking for someone to understand my pain...

It's a long way out...
I'm gonna make it out

The Battle for Everything (2004)

I'm Dying, Dying to wake up without you, Without you in my head again
I'm Dying, Dying to forget about you, That you ever lived
There's a shade come over this heart that's coping with laying down to rest
I'm Dying to live without you again

The Battle for Everything (2004)

Take off your shoes... Take off yourself
Take off your rented mental health
Take off your raincoat... settle down
Take off your nightmare and your frown
There is a place for you to go
To see another ringer in a rock show
Take my pretense for a time
Cause I want to say to you

The Battle for Everything (2004)

Hey Kid... Your time has come to change
Though I need you more than I've needed anyone in any way tonight
Hey Kid... I know it won't be long
The Captain's calling...

The Battle for Everything (2004)

Baby there's something on my mind tonight
There's a reason to believe we almost got it right
There's a fire burning in the firelight
As we roll on tonight

The Battle for Everything (2004)

You were right
You came over me
What'd never been before
You slid under my door and now I find
A Reason to admit I've been too lazy

America Town (2000)

I Took her leaving like I did before
I Turned around and I asked for more
And she didn't even mean a thing to me

America Town (2000)

It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming

I don't know where to begin
I don't know how to get out there...to see you
I don't know where to dig in
I don't know how to get in there...to feel you

It's been too long and I'm about to be in time for me
It's been too long and I'm in time, I'm in time, hey yeah

America Town (2000)

You were wrong
You were right
You are gone
Tonight
You were free
So alive
You were wrong
You were right
You were down
You could see
You wore hearts for me
You were sharp
Sharp as knives
You were wrong
You were right

America Town (2000)

I know I should be happy in your land
It’s not all that wild to me
Not that I want to be any other where
I know it’s hell out there

America Town (2000)

Over by the still she says,
“Man I think you better wait for tomorrow!
Take this pillow for your head
And I’ll take you.”

America Town (2000)

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird…I’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

Message for Albert (1997)

I sing above my vision. I sing above my face.
A fat old amphibian speaker for the dead.
Gather round ye animals. Gather round this lake.
Take upon your vigil. Wallow in the wake.

Due the shine that toad had born.

While riding back an eagle, laughing with the sun
He spied an old hairy fairy man upon the river Young.
and Sol said, fly away fly away if you can
But he settled next the oarsman, said I'm my own man and this is my life...

Heed above my meter, Heed above my fate. Can't go back again...
I got a reason to be fevered-summer waking morn.
Back back when the poor poor boy was born.

Now cross into his fortune. While enchanted by the queen.
A lone shady shelter stood beckoning his lean.
And in the time it takes a pillow to figure out a face.
Out from in the white tree she rose to take its place.

And the battle for his spirit then caused him to remain.
And he fought as a thousand Visigoths and he cursed the night in vain.
She said run away run away if you can
But last he heard a voice of...I'm my own man and this is my life...

Off to in her castle, laid upon the stairs
She showered him with daffodils and tied ribbons in his hair.
He woke for bare a moment but she wouldn't let him weep.
With lips of only roses kissed him down to sleep.

So royal loyal subjects now let your ears unbend.
For here ye this traveled tail must sadly meet it's end.
What's fate done to our hero I cannot reply...
The last that I saw him, a flection in her eye.

Message for Albert (1997)

Day by Day I wake up for you I do
and I rise to who knows who
well if I can say...some other day

Message for Albert (1997)

How have you been
In the shape you were in
I'm suprised that you got where you're going
