Best Laid Plans
02:38
|

Best laid plans, get laid best unplanned
Because you know where it's going to end when you play that hand
But as it plays out, we can ride on the bus till the scenery changes
I'm sleeping it off, waking up surrounded by strangers
And kindness goes farther than friends know
And when it shows, there's hot hot tears down in your soul
But as it plays out, we arrive in the dust, in the dirt, on the pavement
I'm brushing it off; it hurts more than it hurts just to say it
We made plans, and we made some more
We walked slow to the corner store
It felt good not to drive
It felt good just to be alive

Dark Shades
03:06
|
|||
|
If I could see the future in a magic crystal ball
I'm not sure if I'd peer inside, or if I'd look at all
And I might get tired of it
but it's as real as it'll get
I'll walk into the sun with my dark shades on
I'm puttin' em on
And I won't make excuses, 'cause it's under my control
I'm gonna sing a song of simple love
I'm gonna rip off Rubber Soul

Black Ice
02:14
|
|||
|
You had a fine time
It was smiles all around
Crossing state lines and this state is "denial"
It's a strange dream
It's a coffee with cream
It's a small thing from a vending machine
Oh, over black ice we roll
And we'll keep singing this song

Leaving Lights On
02:48
|
|||
|
We're leaving lights on in rooms that we're not in
We're setting sights on the flightiest of whims
But where do we begin?
We're restless but we're tired
And all the common sense got caught up in the wires
So make a picture of where you want to be
Dirty paintbrushes and cut-up magazines
But where do we begin
We're restless but we're tired
We're slowly burning down but we didn't start the fire
And I wanna know the secrets in the code
I'm tired of all the potholes in the road
Let's patch them all
Let's break the rules and make our own

Creaking Stair
02:59
|
|||
|
Were you there on the edge of a creaking stair
When I sighed to myself?
Did you see how when it was up to me
How I shut right up and fell in love?
With a handful of dirt and a tarnishing ring
We listen to the radiator sing
And it says "Silly child"
Were you there when the foundations was laid?
When I made the mountains rise?
Did you see that holy mystery or did some dust get in your eyes?

Know Better
01:44
|
|||
|
Having a smoke with some friends of old
And you can feel your blood slow
The hardest thing you'd ever know
Was this was all gonna blow
Your head was "squashed and put into the pot"
But you still know what she forgot
When everything is telling you "go"
Know better, you know?

Ottawa Tavern
02:28
|
|||
|
Pockets are deeper than the average creature; I'm blessed, it seems
Sleeping more than ever before, with lots of dreams
I don't know what they mean
On dim computer screens
It's a warm, confusing thing
I can't believe they let us play on the radio
And how did it happen at the Ottawa Tavern? What a show
We'll never know how we made it home
It's a warm, confusing thing
In our travels, how's it that when it's bad, it's good?
Guardian angels perhaps, doing what they should?
Seems a bit absurd, but I won't turn 'em down
It's a warm confusing thing

I'm glad that I caught this train 'cause it brought me to my knees
I said some things that were lost on me, yeah, I said so many things
There are houses up against the tracks that remind me of my home
White siding and small backyards with a patch where the grass don't grow
And now I know
And now I see
It's all around
It follows me
It's sad when best laid plans just slip right from your hands
Some things deserve to fly, some things just won't be had
The basement tends to flood and mold begins to grow
The things you had to throw away should have gone out long ago

Wrong Season
02:22
|
|||
|
It's the wrong season for the leaves to fall but
I just saw one, there's another
Maybe it's an omen of a coming problem
Who can spot 'em, till we got 'em
We write novels in our heads
Always skipping chapters
We act like the jokes not dead
Till there's no more laughter
It's the wrong season to make hot chocolate
But we made some, it was rockin'
Staying up late just to pack the night in
Need to shut up, put a sock in it, man
We slip slow into the night
Like it's gonna spot us
Lighting farts and riding bikes
Till the autumn's got us

Sunflower

Sunflower
Growing by the creek
In a couple weeks, we'll see
Sunflower
She might change her name
But she's still the same as me
Somehow I wandered into the sun
She wants to hang out with me
We're riding our bikes around just for fun
We're making time in the city
Sunflower
Pushing down the roots
Growing where she wants to be
