The Boat

Ah there, a yi ba di ba dum
Ah there, a yi ba di ba dum
Ah there, a yi ba di ba dum
Ah there, a yi ba di ba dum
All the way home
In the new boat
All the way home
I would look up
I would hope for
a conversion
I would hope for
an immersion
Hi hi hi hi ho a di ba di ba
Hi hi ho a di ba di ba
Ah there, a yi ba di ba dum
Ah there, a yi ba di ba dum
Ah there, a yi ba di ba dum
Ah there, a yi ba di ba dum
When it hits you
You will know it
When they choose you
They will show it
It's your ticket
to forever
It's your homeplate
It's your tether
Hi hi hi hi ho a di ba di ba
Hi hi ho a di ba di ba
All that I thought
All that I wrote
All that I said
with my eyes closed
Show me somehow
that I'm okay
Let me know I
won't be castaway
Hi hi hi hi ho a di ba di ba
Hi hi ho a di ba di ba
Ah there, a yi ba di ba dum
Ah there, a yi ba di ba dum
Ah there, a yi ba di ba dum
Ah there, a yi ba di ba dum

The Ocean

Little stream will you make it to the ocean?
Little stream will you make it to the ocean?
From the car it looked just like the ocean
course I'd never ever seen the ocean
maybe I could turn into a mermaid
swim it clean swim it clean
Little stream will you make it to the ocean?
Little stream will you make it to the ocean?
Prairie girl, what did I know about
deep waves?
What did I know about
sea scapes?
No, I don't belong here
City girl, what did I know about
city streets and everything that's underneath
I need to leave
I need to leave cause
I can't breathe under water
I can't breathe under water
I can't breathe under water
Little stream will you make it to the ocean?
Little stream will you make it to the ocean?

Lightning
02:19
|
|||
When the darkness comes now
I look for your lightning
I know it might hurt me
but it's also exciting
I have no defense
I'm a turtle with no shell
I'm swimming in the ocean
and it's scary as hell
I have a new dress
Wearing it is dangerous
I think that it's clean though
but it has a lot of stains, yes
I wear it when I'm with you
I think that you like it
It matches your lightning
but to me it feels frightning
I love you
at least I think I do
but I know it could be reckless
for a vulnerable fool
I have no defense
I'm a turtle with no shell
I'm swimming in the ocean
and it's scary as hell

Longshot

What I want, what I need baby
What I want, what I need
What I want, what I need baby
What I want, what I need
Don't you know I love you
Don't you know that I'll do what I need to do
to get you back again
Sail a ship across the ocean
Make a film about my devotion
Promise next time I will do better
Pour my heart out into a letter
But I waited too long
and you don't like this song
done too many things wrong
I don't know
What I want, what I need baby
what I want, what I need
What I want, what I need baby
What I want, what I need
Yes, I know there's lots
of fish in the sea
but for some reason
you mean so much more to me
than any other one
So, if you have feelings for me
Let them show,
no, you'll never bore me
I fell apart
when you said you're leaving
but I never quite stopped believing
that we were meant to be
that you'd bend on one knee
planting our family tree
in the stars or maybe on Mars
Come on, come on back to me...

Forms
03:20
|
|||
Forms, falling from the sky
Forms, falling from on high
I'm sailing
on a paper sea
Once I felt a little bit free
Once the world felt open to me
but forms
Once I thought I'd give it a try
Once my wings felt ready to fly
but forms
forms
Forms, falling from the sky
Forms, falling from on high
I'm sailing
on a paper sea
What's this form you're serving me now?
You want to feel free and think you know how
but forms?
Forms, falling from the sky
Forms, falling from on high
I'm sailing
on a paper sea
I'm drowning
someone rescue me

Falling apart, falling apart
Falling
Falling
Falling apart, falling apart
Falling
Falling
Falling apart, falling apart
Falling
Falling
Falling apart, falling apart
Falling
Falling
Mid-way down
is where it happens
Mid-way down
you're beautiful
I see your body
in full motion
I see your body
I see your soul
Part of a whole
part of a whole
part of a whole
Part of a whole
part of a whole
part of a whole
Part of a whole
part of a whole
part of a whole
Part of a whole
part of a whole
part of a whole
Falling apart, falling apart
Falling
Falling
Falling apart, falling apart
Falling
Falling
Falling apart, falling apart
Falling
Falling
Falling apart, falling apart
Falling
Falling
Did you wonder
how it happened,
how you stumbled,
lost control?
Did you hope
someone would help you?
Did you pray for
a miracle?
Falling apart, falling apart
Falling
Falling
Falling apart, falling apart
Falling
Falling
Falling apart, falling apart
Falling
Falling
Falling apart, falling apart
Falling
Falling
Did you wonder
why we stood watching?
Did our stillness
break your heart
Part of a whole
part of a whole
part of a whole...

Pantheon

You're my prison
you know not what you do
You're forgiven but
I'm so afraid of you
You're my prison
your faces on the screen
You're my prison
you're in a magazine
You're my prison
you're everywhere I go
so, I stay home and just
turn the lights down low
You're my prison cause
I see god in you
You're my prison and
I don't know what to do
You're my prison
and it's all intentional
You're my judges and
you've sentenced me to Hell, oh
hello
You're much better,
better than you know
You hold it all together
only let the good parts show
You make choices that
bring you wealth and fame
You never need to spell or
tell somebody your name
You're so charming and
it's like you smile at me
But you keep leaving me
alone in agony
You're my prison cause
I see god in you
You're my prison and
I don't know what to do
You're my prison
and it's all intentional
You're my judges and
you've sentenced me to Hell, oh
hello
You're my prison when
I tune in to your show
You're my prison and you're
everywhere I go
I try to be like you but
I know I never will cause
you tell me what I need to do
and I don't fit the bill
If I'm not with you then
I really am nowhere
You come down to save me but
then leave me in the air
You're my prison cause
I see god in you
You're my prison and
I don't know what to do
You're my prison
and it's all intentional
You're my judges and
you've sentenced me to Hell, oh
hello
Every day's the same as
I dress and feed myself
One of you said doing this might
be good for my health
I look in the mirror and
I don't like what I see
I try some product supposed
to give me perfect teeth
Then this dilemma cause
I'm lonely here I know
Do I go outside and just
let my insides show
You're my prison cause
I see god in you
You're my prison and
I don't know what to do
You're my prison
and it's all intentional
You're my judges and
you've sentenced me to Hell, oh
hello
Oh joy, I get to meet you and
you shake me by the hand
but I know that you will never
really see me as I am
Everyone defers to you
to us you're royalty
But now that people worship you
you never will be free
Somehow that's a comfort to
your worshippers in chains
Knowing that you're chained
by them too
loosens up the reins
You're my prison cause
I see god in you
You're my prison and
I don't know what to do
You're my prison
and it's all intentional
You're my judges and
you've sentenced me to Hell, oh
hello
I need a presence
not a prison
I need a presence
not a prison
I need a presence
not a prison
and someone to
please, please
tell me who to be

Resurrection

I died

I'm here
only sometimes
I'm here

I'm here
I live

Arriving
03:35
|

They broke me
in many places
taught me
I would never fly
Always trusting,
I believed them
and later
wished that I could die
later
wished that I could die
Arriving
Arriving
Arriving like I did before
Arriving as from a journey
Arriving at your door
Do you want me?
Am I forgiven?
I fear that I will never know
Never sure if I belong here
but there's nowhere else for me to go
nowhere else for me to go
Arriving
Arriving
Arriving like I did before
Arriving as from a journey
Arriving at your door
Sometimes I think I see you
shining through the windowpane
Regardless of all they tell us
I think that, to you, we're
all the same
I think that, to you, we're
all the same
Arriving
Arriving
Arriving like I did before
Arriving as from a journey
Arriving at your door
Arriving
Arriving
Arriving like I did before
Arriving as from a journey
Arriving at your door
Arriving at your door

Changeling
02:48
|
|||
Run away, couldn't stay
Run away, they had to
from the changeling
It gets dangerous
when I'm turning inside-out
All the elements
and angry creatures
in my mouth
when you came along
I tried to warn you that I will
crumble in your arms
and change to something
stranger still
Don't know who I am
Don't know who I am, no
Don't know who I am
Don't know who I am, no
The changeling
Back when I was three
fairies took me from my bed
left an effigy
an imitation me instead
Now, to set me free,
you need to hold me
to your chest
and with tenacity
keep the true
and brave the rest
Don't know who I am
Don't know who I am, no
Don't know who I am
Don't know who I am, no
The changeling
Will you hold me now?
Will you hold me now?
Will you hold me now
and now?
and now?
and now?
and now?
and now?

Beautiful Thing
03:19
|
|||
When you're at the edge
and you take one step back
sun's on your face
like it's saying,
"Welcome home"
and you don't feel alone
anymore
When you're in the market
for hopeless cases
wind comes up,
but it only braces cause
our love:
it's a beautiful thing
A beautiful thing
A beautiful thing
A beautiful thing
A beautiful thing
Things are looking up
so I'll second-guess it
Give me something good
and I'll make a mess of it
Given half a chance
I would walk
right through that door
you wouldn't see me no more
I'd lose a beautiful thing
a beautiful thing
A beautiful thing
A beautiful thing
A beautiful thing
A beautiful thing
Don't go running away now
Don't you go running away now
Don't go running away now
No
Maybe there's good reason
to get excited
Maybe there's a demon
you have to fight it
Maybe in the meantime
you'll just say, "what the hell,
we're doing well. And it's a
beautiful thing
a beautiful thing."
A beautiful thing
A beautiful thing
A beautiful thing
A beautiful thing
