We fell asleep behind the wheel. Forgot the silver charm that hangs beside your rear-view mirror. Its words fell short of our appeal. A sudden crash awakes us both, I never thought how far we'd go.
Higher. You shut my eyes to look deeper. When I was tempted to give less you gave me more. Oh, you took me low to go higher.
It's strange and beautiful how life reminds us how we never truly know what's good for us, dear. I feel a light. It was with me in my darkest hour and every time I fought to shut you out.
Oh you can have it all but still not have a clue of what's good for you. Sometimes it all has to fall so you can see just where you cut the corners, clear the ground and start it all a new.
Higher. You shut my eyes to look deeper. When I was tempted to give less you gave me more. Oh, you took me low to go higher.

Painted Birds

She says, "I had my chances with love. It knows me well. Had my heart filled to the brim and they all drank from the well. I am in no shape, my friend to fortune tell. But darling, if you know me at all, go on and leave me be to myself."
No you won't go alone. I will be by your side. To prove us both wrong. I will be by your side.
I had my chances with faith. Now, hard to tell. Had my hopes tall as the sky, and like painted birds they all fell. Except that one that flies with you, and though it goes far away. I still hear it every morning singing the words that I once heard you say.

The Days Go

It's not a question now of when I live but how. Life's not a riddle and it waits for no man. My thoughts they just compound like the headache that I found on the Bleecker afternoon we drank ourselves sick.
So darling, where (are) we headed now? It's just that I've seen the days go.
So darling, are we in or out? It's just that I've seen the days go. Oh the days go.
(The) first glass goes easy down. (The) second one the music sounds like it was written solely for this moment in time. Third one you're beautiful. Fourth glass it's pitiful that the man across the bar reminds him of his father.
All these days go by and they say I've got to figure out what it is that I want. But see I just want to fly on the wings of my dreams--whatever that means.

It's just another way to go down this crazy winding road. That's all it is.
It's just another way to learn what you came here for and that's all it is.
(I just chose my.. I don't know why. I don't know why. I don't know..)
So I'm not scared anymore. Won't blame my parents for my troubles and wars. I'm not scared anymore. I'll choose my own road. That's all it is.
Darling, you complicate your life with your excuses. 'Fore you hold your stories way too tight, learn what their use is. You know there's no better way to go than the way you've been going. You know there's no better time to turn around than right now and that's all it is.
Do you know, my beautiful, we're just the rhythms of the skies from which the first time that I fell was by the arrows of your eyes. Like the songs my mother strummed in youth of unrequited love--they have always haunted me. But they're not the ones I sing, my beautiful.
It's just another way to go down this crazy winding road.
