Arm's Length

Your love is selfish
your love is cold
your love is shallow
you don't want more
don't want to lose me
well that's not for me
yes, that is for you
this is can see
Austin
is where you are
so you'd like to have my company
while i am in the same city
arms-length
is what you want
you'd like to spend some time with me
and then you would be free to leave,
well, God's Speed
you're losing me
i'm taking it my company
no, you will not be reaching me
You say you're unclear
about your future
so then you feel
unclear about me
but when is it clear?
my future's unclear
but i'm manning-up
you're not man enough,
my dear
CHORUS
Go again, get gone, get along, get moving girl
I've gotta lot, I'll dig it up, I'll grow it out and see
Having fun, livin’ up, having laughs with friends
My livin-lovin-life is full even with out him, I'll
Set a line, set a line, set a line, set a line for him
And make it clear what must be done for him to be with me
2 arms, 2 legs, full heart, 2 hands
I don't deserve a half, no I deserve a full man
CHORUS

Business Casual

Business casual
High heels and a pants suit
Laying in an open casket
you’ve got the world looking down on you
and you look So fantastic
Your skin is flawless and your lips are rouge
In your Open casket
They will watch you
when you’re falling
And you’re gaining
Giving words to your decay
Post a message from
The box inside your office
That you’re happy
And you’re ok
Business is good
Family is great
Life is looking merry looking gay
Business casual
High heels and a pants suit
Laying in an open casket
you’ve got the world looking down on you
and you look So fantastic
on satin pillow shades of blue on blue
In your Open casket
They see you slipping
See ya giving See ya gripping
Read you like you
Were a charade
Take the phone call
Change the status
Leave the message
That you’re happy
with your fillet
dinner was good
family is great
I can’t be happier today
Climb the hill and get the mail
Take a pen and break the seal
It’s a notable affair
And it’s asking that you wear
Business casual
High heels and a pants suit
Laying in an open casket
you’ve got the world looking down on you
and you look So fantastic
Your skin is flawless and your lips are rouge
In your Open casket

A Love Alive
05:27
|

Start the water
Pull the bath
Get a candle
Strike a match
Light a fire
Let’s relax
The record’s spinnin’
Start the track
Cause I want to feel it
A love alive
So let’s take our time ‘cause baby we must feed it
For it to survive
Don’t know the future
Barely know the past
Graduation’s nearing
It’s coming fast
Shifting cities
Changing tracks
They say ‘guard your heart girl
It may not last’
But I want to feel it
A love alive
So let’s take our time ‘cause baby we must feed it
For it to survive
And I want to keep this
This you and I
So if you’re with me darlin’ won’t you come on let me hear it
I need to know your fire
they say ‘guard your heart girl’
It may not last
The future’s unclear
There’re rocks in your past
I say give it time, see it through, let it be
When you feel like
He’s the one, that you want, most of all
You feel just right
In his arms
You feel just right
As his woman
Cause I want to feel it
A love alive
So if you’re with me darlin’ won’t you come and let me hear it
I need to know your
Wait for the moment
When the time’s in the present
Then you’ll see it your future
It will become
Now is the moment
That was one time your future
You must use it your patience
You must let go
Love him your Alex
If you choose to with him
Then you’re heart you must give him
You must let-go
Waiting for the moment
When the time is in the present
Then you’ll see it your future
It will become

Blvd.
03:29
|

Blvd. is open
And her soul is hummin’
She says her life’s a blessing
Well she’s got more comin’, child,
Don’t look down
Dancing in the kitchen
With the widows open
Her friends are all around her
And they’re laughing, joking, now
Young and loud
She had her first heart break,
Her first uplifting off the ground
She learned that after the pain,
The joy would always come around
Back in Alabama
On the back porch swingin’
The lake it waiting for her
And her family’s singing loud
Full and proud
Cooking in the kitchen
With her best friend talking
The boys are on the lawn
The dogs are outside jumping round
Oh home town
She found she loved her songs
She loved they’d gather people round
Opened her heart up wide
And let it rise up with the sound
and all her webs inside
she came to think that they were alright
and she knows
that she might be
and she knows
that she might be
and she knows
that she must be fine
biking through the city
with her friends and sweating
they’re heading to the springs
and you can bet they’re jumping in
summer swim
talking to Anne Garland
and you know she’s listening
her wisdom’s asking questions
and her love is sinking in
oh best friend
she had a new heart break
a confrontation with the ground
opened her heart up wide
and let it rise up

Miles Away
04:07
|

Sitting Forward
Sitting back
messing up your bed sheets
Making up the bed
Marking off the old lines
Making a new list
Fixing up your breakfast
Washing off the dish
I need you heaven
Heaven, you are miles away
I have an inside
Kind of feeling
That he will not stay
I need you heaven,
Heaven
I’ve hit the sand-bar
Run aground
Same one that I hit before
Keeps coming round
It clears a message
That I’m in too deep
Seeing him in the shallow water
Standing on his feet
I need you heaven
Heaven, you are miles away
I have an inside
Kind of feeling
That he will not stay
I need you heaven,
Heaven, you are miles away

Truths in the Ceiling
03:44
|
|||
I thought you gave me what you got then
No plans of keeping
I had a little you a lot then
And no way of seeing
That you’d give me what you gave before the sunrise
You’d leave me with no footing in the daylight
I couldn’t give you what I felt then
You tied ropes to the feelings
You bound me in your web then
You asked for my shillings
I went
I went back home
I lived like I had lived before
When you had
You had gone it alone
You never dialed my number on the phone
Blue blue blue sky
Red rain
Red eyes
Black black black night
Long way
Longer drive
I couldn’t give you what I held then
The truths in the ceiling
You were a razor to my melt down
My mess made for spilling
I went
I went back home
I gave you what I gave before
When you had
You had done it alone
You never dialed my number on the phone
Blue blue blue sky
Red rain
Red eyes
Black black black night
Long way
Longer drive

Date Night
05:21
|
|||
lay it down now
it is date night
you and me
by the spring side
peddle back now
through the East Side
i’m so glad i came
into your life
doo – da – doo…
weigh it down now
water sealed tight
burlap bag
filled with sand and rice
coolest breeze
we have felt in nights
we don’t know where it came from
but it feels nice
doo – da – doo …
the sky it boasts of storms
this i have realized
we’re forewarned
but like the oaks by the spring side born
we will be just fine
if we grow soft
if we grow strong
doo – da –doo …

Silence in the Suburbs
00:46

The silence in the suburbs has got me crazy
It’s as lush and as lovely as can be
The lawns stretch out wide
Beneath balconies wide
But there’s nobody out there to greet

Not Sure What's Real
03:47
|
|||
I don’t believe what you say
Cause you’re not sure what’s real
You don’t know what you think
You’re not sure what you feel
Come away from my life
Because I am for real
There was some grief
Some pangs of exposure
Some mix of missin
And addiction withdrawal
We walked out under streetlights
Said bye for the first time
And if you wanna dig a grave
Do it with the dead by your side
Please don’t believe what I say
Cause I’m not sure what’s real
I don’t know what I think
I’m not sure what I feel
But I’m livin my life
And yes I am for real
I’m not full of peace
But I’ve got plenty to work with
I’m not full of grief
But I’m sad all the time
I’m not sure if my settling
Is good as it’s gettin
Or if I need the best
Poured and cast up high in the sky
Blow the house down
Then throw the money out
Bend down clean up the floors
Bring your friends round
And have them bring more
Come on love
Go on and blow your house down
I don’t believe what you say
Cause you’re not sure what’s real
You don’t know what you think
You’re not sure what you feel
Come away from my life
Because I am for real
I’m not full of peace
But I’ve got plenty of life

Spirit of the Rain
03:32
|
|||
You came with the spirit of the rain
packed down the joy made room for pain
well go then
and i won't give a fuck about when you came
I don't want there to be empty rooms
sun bleeds in the window and i'm through
don't send me your letters
your words are no better
than the spirit of the rain
i don't want there to be empty rooms
sun bleeds in the window and i'm through
the album is spinning
no need for repeating
save yourself
fall in line
be the one you came for
in the end
filed away
i'm the one your came for
far away
nameless shape
i'm the one you came for
you came with the spirit of the rain

The Rise and Fall
04:38
|
|||
Wishing well
I have found no end to you
Your floor is timeless
It gapes with your youth
And I have sought out your laughter
I’ve wrestled days for your fruits
You remain and watch your actor
Age in all her pursuits
But I’ll come back
Where I left
Lay me down
Find my breath
The rise and fall is best
Little girl
You had so much ahead of you
Disappointment
Morning fades into blue
But you’ll never see the daylight
When shadows hem in your room
Put on your rings now
Lace up your boots
But I’ll come back
Where I left
Lay me down
Find my breath
The rise and fall is best
But I’ll come back
Where I left
Lay me down
Find my breath
The rise and fall is best
The rise and fall is best
The rise and fall is best
