The Prime Meridian
03:58
|
|||
I'm all turned around
I'm all twisted up
I'm disoriented
Can't you see?
I don't know the route
Can't tell north from south
Don't have a map
To guide me
The hemispheres of my brain
Don't recognize this terrain
And the quadrants of my heart
Know we shouldn't be apart
You're the prime meridian
And I'm an idiot
I've lost my bearings
I can't tell the time
It's a question of degrees
Minutes and history
Gonna find my way
Back to you
Gonna find my way back to you
I can't navigate
I can't see the stars
Things look different
Beneath the frost
It is way too dark
I am so alone
Need to find you soon
Or all is lost
You're the prime meridian
And I'm an idiot
I've lost my bearings
I can't tell the time
It's a question of degrees
Minutes and history
Gonna find my way
Back to you
Gonna find my way back to you

Incurable But Not Fatal

Synthesize
Empathize
You'll never see me if you only use your eyes
On command
I'll be damned
Just 'cause you listen doesn't mean you understand
No
Unrequited's hard to rhyme
No
I Wish we had more time
Impressive but not admirable
Incurable but not fatal
You make my knees go weak
And my heart grow strong
I know its not unique
I can't stay here very long
You make my knees go weak
And my heart grow strong
I'm on a losing streak
I can't stay here very long
Clarity
Sobriety
I don't know if these things work for me
So far behind
Stuck with the rind
Without you I don't have peace of mind
No
Unrequited's hard to rhyme
No
I Wish we had more time
Impressive but not admirable
Incurable but not fatal
You make my knees go weak
And my heart grow strong
I know its not unique
I can't stay here very long
You make my knees go weak
And my heart grow strong
I'm on a losing streak
I can't stay here very long
Impressive but not admirable
Incurable but not fatal
Well maybe fatal

The 1 Dream
03:21
|

I don’t have a lot of patience
I don’t have a lot of anything
So let’s cut the crap and get right to the point
This is the one dream
This is the New York City skyline
This is the last thing
I will ever write to you
And I know that you know how I feel
And I know that you know what to do
I am easily flattered
I am easily led astray
But I don’t mind and who cares if I do?
This is the new deal
This is a moment frozen in time
I don’t remember
Anything before you smiled
And I know that you know what I know
Da-da-da da da da da da da
I don’t know who you think you’re dealing with
You’re not a very good actor
You know I’d love you better
You know I’d love you better
I don’t have a lot of patience
I don’t have a lot of anything
So let’s cut the crap and get right to the point
This is the new deal
This is a moment frozen in time
I don’t remember
Anything before you smiled
And you know that I know that you know
I’d love you better
You know I’d love you better
You know I’d love you better
Do you remember the first time we kissed
It was the last time we kissed
Well I guess it’s the thought that counts

The Second Time

The second time
It wasn't an accident
The second time
It wasn't just random
After all, it was the second time
You knew what you wanted
You knew what you were doing
And I was happy to oblige
The second time
It wasn't coincidence
The second time
It didn't just happen
You can't deny, it was the second time
With no hesitation
And no second-guessing
And I was happy to oblige
Tell me what am I supposed to do?
Do I know the real you?
Do you want to catch that bus?
Do you believe in us?
The second time
It wasn't a mistake
The second time
It wasn't so sudden
We were glad it was the second time
It wasn't the alcohol
It wasn't the zodiac
It wasn't a slip n' fall
It wasn't a heart attack

The Go Between
02:16
|

I'm not afraid of you
I'm not going to hide
From the truth
But sometimes
I get so tired
I know
That's something you understand
I had a dream last night
I'm not proud of that
But I've never been burdened
With pride
Don't act shocked
I t's not a good look on you
Your bedside manner
Could use some polish
That's not the only thing that I wish
I could change about you
I'd make you love me
I ride along the boundary
I keep them in
And I keep them out
I'm the go-between
I can live with that - oh yeah
I can live with that - oh yeah
