Day After Day

The Way I See It

wake up, its morning wipe the sleep from your eyes. do you remember who we are? don't be angry if i ask you to leave because we both know you have some place better to be, better than me. you're a neon light and you're too bright for me.

Please Don't Go

Little wanderer
with your hands in your pockets
do you ever write things down?
I bet you don't write a note
when a picture's worth
a thousand I told you so's
Little traveler
with your head in your maps
do you ever make a sound?
I bet you don't sing a note
when a song is worth
a thousand please don't go's

So please don't go away for long
you might never make it home
there's nothing wrong
with wanting you for myself
well I've heard it all
even if you never
get the chance to sing
you've had the chance to fall
so please don't go

Little warrior
with your fingers outstretched
you've got plans to take over the world
don't you know
its not control that we seek
it's the seeking that makes us whole
Little girl, little girl
with your see through smile
say you've got no time for change
some change slowly

chorus

You're runnin' round town
like you're crashing on a freeway
well ever since you left
you've been acting like
you never had your way
I know it aint right
to bring this ship down on you
so don't gox3

Heart of Gold

She had a dream
that her life was over
her heart of gold
never got her nowhere
(got her nowhere)
so baby just stay there
Coffee shop girl
drew me in so shy
and i believed her
lie for lie, I believed her
well now I'm leaving her behind
you speak so soft
but you lie so loud

Well I'm on your side
well why'd you have to lie
I'm not leaving 'til you're right
right where you belong

You're telling me you've got
three weeks left to live
well you're breaking my heart
I cannot watch you die
Iv'e been there
one too many times before tonight
You're telling me you've got
nothing left to give
well I guess I was wrong about you
and now the lights lead me home
from your house on sandy bank road
you speak so soft
but you lie so loud

chorusx2

she had a dream
that her life was over
her heart of gold
never got her nowhere
(nowhere)
so baby just stay there

The Beach Song

Picture me in an empty room
piano plays 'cause I only sing the blues
when she's over, now she's over
Picture me when I've got something to say
she says that I'll always be that way
when I'm older, now she's older
well she promised me
she'd build a boat for the sea
well here I am
I'm standing alone

I'm in love with you she said
so I'm building a boat for the ocean
with floors of blue and walls of red
it can take us through
if we want it to
so we'll sail the sea like she promised me

Another day in another life
the sun and moon come out
just to fight the sky
for a love song meant for everyone
Another day and I've got nothing to show
so I'll sing the songs
that I've sung before
such a bold tune for a cold moon
well I promised you
I'd write a song for your blues
well here I am
I'm singing alone

chorus

Build up these walls around us
like an ark our fears will save us
they'll save usx2

chorusx2

I'm in love
pray our fears might save us now
we'll never make it home
