Taking a breath Laying awake Singing this song Over again Liked you a lot Saw you again Sylvia's song Took you all in I'll leave you until You know me enough Like you the same Stepping out of frame I saw you on a bird Taking a ride When I asked for your name You said "I'm just passing by" Followed you over the hill To a place where you sleep Left a note under your door That said I wanna be free Like you, with me Cause I'm feeling like Tomorrow's a void That nothing can fill My cowardly breath Feet standing still So meet me halfway From here to the sky Hold you until There's no reason why Tonight, I will crown My victory head Lava lamp dreams While I'm in bed Till you turn on the lights Sometime in the night Gently open the door And you let me inside You take a look at my face And I seem so surprised You tell me It's all ok That we're just passing by Like you, with me We're just passing by Passing by

The road is straight and narrow Stumble on You cry inside your bedroom When they're gone You were looking for lovers Couldn't find any other Seas upon You crashed your car in your neighbor's Perfect green lawn And couldn't lie to your mother her love was too strong Still you feel like a monster Like you live in a world where you don't belong And all your friends will tell you all your songs are good But you know it's all shit You know It's a hard place to shake Your best friend moved to Chicago Isn't that so cliche Painting songs like the wind He makes a dollar a day But you don't know what you want yet Maybe next week you'll be brunette The sun reigns over your hometown Dried up and lifeless grass But everybody's certain Going places so fast And you just try to decide If you should live or die Bluebonnets Oh mocking bird, what are you tonight? But a tired lonely star Singing It's a hard place to shake But do a favor just for me

I've stolen the distance from a thousand stars Middle of nowhere like a smoking car I'm checking my map, I think I've gone too far Holding my light up wondering where you are I saw a dying bird just laying on the ground Saw his mind made up too late to make a sound Now his suffering's gone, it doesn't hang around My love is a sadness I cannot contain I would give everything up for anything Tonight I will dream over a bright blue star Holding the light up wondering where you are I'm trying hard to be a better man But I often need something to take my hand Just something small like a grain of sand I've borrowed the presage from a burning sun I'd carry it onward, but it weighs a ton The side of the highway in my smoking car Holding my light up wondering where you are It isn't hard to see it all just disappear See it flickering before it's never there Call a friend to see if you can shed a tear My heart is a boulder, it can break down walls Demolish your castle when you get the call I'm checking my map, I know I've gone too far Turning my light off, wondering where you are
