Homeward Angel

My Thoughts are running away but I want you to know what they are
The first is a memory I revisit
It’s you and I walking through the park
Winter’s shadow slowly lifted
You broke the news that shattered my heart
The man who taught me everything
Grew like vines into the dark
The second is a wise tale that gets me through the night when the spirits are low
About a boy and a dog by the water and the first time they’d ever seen the snow
Heavy hearts were lifted
It was true what God has gifted
Life can be a cruel little bucket of lies until you open your eyes
Look you homeward angel
This great city is falling down
Fly you fallen angel
Go home to the boss and tell him it's time to rebuild
This great city is falling down
Have you seen the dark and rocky coast of Mexico
It's a visual fascination that favors the bold
There's a freedom that you feel and a secret that you hold
Fireworks as the sun goes down distract you from the birds
And this dusk is worth a million words
Look you homeward angel
This great city is falling down
Fly you drunken angel
Go home to the boss and tell him it's time to rebuild
This great city is falling down
I used to dream that all my friends and lovers
Would end up living in the same place together
Growing food in the yard
Telling stories in the dark
Playing music until the sun goes down
Until the sun comes up
California is calling my name
New York doesn't seem the same
My love runs deep for this coastal state
But I can't seem to escape
The footprints I've left behind
Look you homeward angel
This great city is falling down
Fly you, you my Angel
Go home to the boss and tell him it's time to rebuild
'Cause this great city is falling down
Look you homeward angel
This great city is standing still
Fly you, you my angel
You go home to the boss and tell him it's time to rebuild
This great city is falling down

The Mirror

This was always me
Even if you couldn't see
I’ve always been a disaster
When I look at you
I see those disappointed eyes
Man, you know how hard I try
Maybe you've always had your shit together
What does that mean now
You think I owe you all the world
You say that everything I am is my intention
What can I say now
There’s nothing more to say
You have already made your judgments of me
The mirror that I see in you
Is the mirror that you see in me
And we are both dancing with the devil
Risking everything
Trying to stay above the waterline so both of us don't sink into the ocean
Sink into the deep blue sea
I am looking into your eyes looking into me
Trying to save my soul for one last night
I need to know exactly what you're seeing
You can call me out
And say I didn't live up to the name
You say I'm causing you this shame
That sounds just about right now
What would I do without you
To grace me with your truth
How else would I know that there's hell below me
I'm already burning
My heart is blackened by your love
What can I say now
There's nothing more to say
You have already made your judgments of me
The mirror that I see in you
Is the mirror that you see in me
And we are both dancing with the devil
Risking everything
Trying to stay above the waterline so both of us don't sink into the ocean
Sink into the deep blue sea
I am looking into your eyes looking into me
Trying to save my soul for one last night
I need to know exactly what you're seeing
I'm already burning my heart is yearning for you now

Something to Believe In

You kept him close to your heart for a time
So we drift apart as the currents unwind
Blind as two people can be
You were looking for a sign
Unwinding the strings in the depths of your mind
What could be more precious than time
You sent it all down the river
Refuse to leave behind a hint or a trail of clues
Finding your place in time
You were looking for someone
Finger pressing lightly on the trigger of a gun
What were you expecting to find
Something to believe in
To hold on to
To admit for a moment who you are
Take the time to let your thoughts take a trip to the moon
Something to let go of
Make a show of
Take you out of your natural state
Something to believe in
Something to prove to yourself that you are great
Just the way you are today
Don't you know that you are great
Left for a day in a season of change
Find a brand-new start as you rearrange
Looking back always feels so strange
You were swimming through the marsh
Life never seemed like it could be so harsh
I'm sorry that I live so far away
Something to believe in
To hold on to
To admit for a moment who you are
Take the time to let your thoughts take a trip to the moon
Something to let go of
Make a show of
Take you out of your natural state
Something to believe in
Something to hold onto
Something to prove to yourself that you are great
Just the way you are today
Don't you know that you are great

Charlotte and Charlie

It's not the easy answer
I know, I know
And I'm sorry that I took you down this road
But I'm going to do my best to get us home
Haven't we known each other long enough now to get some kind of natural communication happening between us
You hold on tight until you know
I don't care if it's the truth, I just care if you let it go
For the benefit of all the creatures in the world and all the other worlds
Meet me here beneath the rusty tin in the middle of the orchard where our love began
Meet me here beside the old oak tree in the northwest corner facing that familiar breeze
Meet me here beside the fire pit or at least what still remains of it, bricks and bones
As long as the promises we made were true
Meet me here
Charlotte I've made up my mind
There's only a little bit of time
Charlie I don't know, I'm all caught up in my bed
I've got dreams you wouldn't believe
I've got rhythms in my head
Sometimes I feel so low that I don't even know
How I'm going to swim my way up for air again
And I can't take the risk of pulling you down
Maybe I'll meet you someday when you're on the ground
Leave my body far behind
Gazing down at the California coastline
I see a shooting star go bye
The echoes of a window I painted as a child
The whisper of a voice singing soft sweet goodbyes
Meet me here above the dusty world in the visionary prison of my promises
Meet me here so high above the trees with a view right through the window of my memories
Leave me spinning in infinity living the only dream that was real to me
As long as the promises we made were true
Leave me here
Charlotte I'm confused by the way you tell me
You used to look me in the eyes and I was satisfied
Who taught you to put blame on me
You're not the only one who doesn't sleep at night
Charlotte I don't know
Charlotte I don't know
Can I repair the things I said
I've got holes in my boots
I feel the springs in my bed
I only say these words into the air
So you can know the truest me
Well it's only fair
I'll fight for you with my last drop of life
They can put me in the ground
I will feel no pain
I will feel no shame
Meet me here beneath the rusty tin in the middle of the orchard where our love began
Meet me here beside the old oak tree in the northwest corner facing that familiar breeze
Meet me here beside the fire pit or at least what still remains of it, bricks and bones
As long as the promises we made were true
Meet me here

She said I'll see you on the moon
The oxygen is fine we can breathe it just the same
Always, always
I'll always be a mile behind
You'll always be a mile ahead
Always, always
Four children in the Square
I remember standing there
Smoke rises in the horizon
People run to the foot of the mountain
Always, always
Running always
How will I find you there
What do you suppose that I should wear
What will we eat?
Will we pray?
Will we meet again?
Did you send me away?
Was it all pretend?
Always, always
Making my way back to you
