The Way

Will you notice when I'm gone
can you show this and sing along
The time the time the time
But in my mind
Sublime sublime sublime
We all feel fine
The way the way the way
it tucks you in
Again again again
will you be my friend
Will you even care
now that I'm not there
Do you remember when
you were my best friend

Those people see you through
let them know you love them too
and the places that you'll go
familiar faces ebb and flow
Places changin' people yearning
we will change again my friend
Forests burnin' words and a learnin'
Things will be whole again, again
Thinkin' 'bout you all the time
trying to find some piece of mind
people make and break my day
sometimes it matters what you say

Shine

Mother tells her story and you close your eyes
seeking pictures of the night flies
The piper plays his tune and dances too
imagination, when it's all up to you
Time flies by, dream catchers cry
the world it sees a new light
oh and it shines bright
Sometimes this world it seems dark and cold
keep your head up, look another stories told
if you try you can see the light
peaking up, like a sunrise
Time flies by, dream catchers cry
the world it sees a new light
oh and it shines bright

Smile

I don't know why
As times moved by
So close as you can be
You know sometimes it scares me
In the cool fall rain
of my own disdain
and to see you smile
I'd love to stay for awhile
Can't let life get you down
Cause you're wearing out your frown
Can't let life get me down
Cause it's pulling me to the ground
In the cool fall rain
of my own disdain
and to see you smile
I'd love to stay for awhile
The time that you spent with me
That's the time that was meant to be
The time that I meant to have
Questioning my other half
I looked into the mirror
I couldn't see it any clearer
You save me the trouble
of dealing with my double
In the cool fall rain
of my own disdain
and to see you smile
I'd love to stay for awhile

Guarded

Maybe we'll grow old together, how many more storms can weather?
I thought that it'd be true, but I don't belong to you.
I thought you knew me well, but I feel like I'm hell.
All the things that we said we'd do, how to live without thoughts of you
It's three years later now, it's true, just a smile and my skies are blue
You-- are--
Caught in bed with the oppressor, I keep your picture on my dresser
You can keep the stills of our happiness,
all those moments I'll remember with bliss
Just a teardrop in my eye, the thoughts of you with another guy
I'm not just some passerby, don't turn away cause I'm guarded
don't turn away cause I'm, (x2)
Eyes burn another day, the suns up, but all I see is grey
it doesn't matter what we used to say
the words that got me through my day
I can't turn off the jealousy, insecurity it's a part of me
I thought it'd be ok, the dawn came today and the
the dark turned to fray
All the things that we said we'd do, how to live without thoughts of you
It's three years later now, it's true, just a smile and my skies are blue
I am on guard
Had to see what you could find, I couldn't open up my mind
I took a hit and made it fly, one less teardrop in my eye
and when we finally said goodbye, one less teardrop in my eye.

Dreamories

It wasn't you or me
it was you and me
timing counts you see, we were meant to be
Free, free, free
Infiltrate my dreams
you know how it seems
I was blue rivers and sea
didn't know how to be
You infiltrate my dreams
never what you seem
you infiltrate my dreams anyway
No it wasn't you, never knew the truth
No it wasn't me, took someone else to see
Now I'm gone to be, but you're part of me
had to leave to find, search of destiny
what I saw, you knew but you couldn't see
we were both too good, turned the knob to be
Free, Free (you from me), Free (you from me)
Infiltrate your dreams
I know how it seems
you were blue rivers and sea
had your heart in me
Infiltrate my dreams
they're never what they seem
you infiltrate my dreams anyway

Partway Stuck

The things that you said, they stuck in my head,
they're bouncing around and they turn my cheeks red
The thoughts that I miss, when we used to kiss
The things that you said they're bouncing in my head
