Crowding 'round the set like everyone they knew All stood by when men first walked on the moon What Aldrin didn’t have, this avalanche of life around Down here in over your head, light is up and dark is down Beacon Hill housewife, female aquanaut Walk the ocean floor, untethered Aqua-Lung “Brave mom’s dive to the bottom of the world” Are we in the deepest twilight or the earliest dawn? Whale songs of the ’60s were more beautiful No great efficiency in feeding on what takes so long to grow The whale songs of the ’70s were more perverse No limitless supply, no endless wonder “Sylvia sails away with 70 men” The subtitle read, “But she expects no problems” Heard the change between the generations It’s not too late if we’re a part of the action
2.
Get Away 02:42
I don’t always hate myself or where I’m from But I can’t deny the damage that’s been done That we’ve done We have a racist dotard for a president I don’t know which planet he represents But it’s not mine I’ve gotta move I’ve got to get away I don’t know where I’ll go But I can’t stay
3.
The Hot Heat 02:42
I never thought I'd win I knew I'd get burnt again But something went my way that day Pinned up against the best No way to study for the test But something went my way that day I knew the end was near Had to swallow all my fears An olive branch was handed down Turned my frown right upside down
4.
Halfway Home 02:58
To the west uprooting what was started in your old town Jilted by a lover or life or whatever it was that you'd announce Now you vanish; an island, a stone Halfway there, just barely aware Receding to depths of places unknown When are you coming home? Don't let yourself go Any further than I have When are you coming home? Some of us won't be around by the time you return While you're away what lessons were we all supposed to learn? When I was your age I was flying you around the room Now I fear the next I'll hear is of you falling to your doom
5.
Well I'm spread too thin to be a good friend But I've never said no to a party And in no time I'll drink all your wine and I probably never say I'm sorry I’ll forget what I say, I’ll forget your birthday I won't even ask how you're feeling I'll be thinking I'm free way back in my creek With all of them fish I should be reeling Because my week's way too long And green does no wrong I'll get my fix back in the sticks On the south side of 206 Well I miss my friends and I miss my sins I still ain't got time for my family But all the while I fake more smiles I’m never depressed because I shan’t be But I'll be a good host and I'll listen close I'll cook you up some food and pour you brandy I don't want to be sad, I don't want to be mad So I'm just the best that I can be
6.
Your head on my shoulder Watching the day sink to the sea I don’t dread getting older As long as you’re getting older with me We’ve been here a long time Shared a few trips around the sun I’m too tired to be afraid I just want to have some fun As we go around the sun The sea keeps coming closer to our home Graying and growing everyone As we go around the sun I can’t know the future For you or your brother There’s so much hatred and division Please be a light, please be a lover
7.
Dadgum 02:49
Dadgum I’m grown up And I wanna be here I don’t wanna be there I’d rather be anywhere I ain’t got no time for memory Today gets in its way I’m not a fan of self promotion But I’m guilty everyday I ain’t got no time for memory The past is faded gray And I never seem to focus on anything I say Life lived in the moment They say it’s the better way Well it’s nothing to be proud of Hybrid moments slip away
8.
Screwballs 04:45
I was looking for some good kind of weird The kind that draws you near And holds you without fear I didn’t know where to begin No comfort in my skin A symptom of our disease Feeling like a lost puzzle piece Now I don’t feel so Out of place An outlier In the human race I was looking for some good kind of weird I stopped when I found it here Where I can be With all the other goodhearted freaks Didn't know where to begin But we're holding on while this rock spins With the strangers and the strange And the friends we make along the way
9.
Problems-you've got problems too Will we ever see your problems through? Problems-hey they won't last long Will my love's problems ever be gone? Problems-you've got problems too Will we ever see your problems through? Problems-hey they won't last long Will our worry ever be done? You know I love you There's just one more thing we could do Grind your teeth just as I do I'll sing this lullaby all the night through In the darkness, I can't see I hold my breath over ears that ring Just to hear you breathe In the morning there's an island in the sky Hope I don't share my limits and you'll pass on by Problems-now we've got em on the run When we're together they vanish with the setting sun
10.
Lost Cause 03:02
I don’t know why I try It’s such a short precious life And we only hear what we want It doesn’t make much sense Start a war to justify defense When there’s nothing to fight I don't how we made it 'til now We're a lost cause I know I don’t have it figured out We can sit around and catalogue our flaws But it's a lost cause We're a lost cause Adrift and overcome with doubt We can sit around and catalogue our flaws But it's a lost cause
11.
Summer Haven 02:31
When the dim corners call you And the dark places hide you Find the outer circles Between the shade and sunshine The tide splits between two inlets And I’ve been seen on the southside Between the shade and sunshine
12.
Spending days turning keys Not knowing where the same doors lead Wasting time all alone Surrounded by those I'll never know I think of the distant seconds I'll get to spend with you If I could find a way to spend my days In a loving display I would But I spend most my waking minutes with the distant seconds Instead of those I should I think of the seconds in the distance I'll get to spend with you I think of all the seconds I missed while you grew I think of hours not too distant where I won't be me but you'll still be you I think of the distant seconds I hope you'll remember we two I think of now how to make our seconds last but just watch them tick right on through
