Postcard Love
03:28
|

|
Simple times they were and lows and the highs couldn’t matter less
And daylights in the courtyard, making our way into the July nights
And moonlight falling down, and lighting up your face and every time you spoke
And the night I tried to tell you, just how that I lost myself inside all this
And I wanna go back now, and I wanna see you again somehow
Cuz' it’s a postcard love we had, and it’s a postcard love we found
It’s the brightest part of our two lives, in these crazy times
And it’s a postcard love we had, and it’s a postcard love we found
It’s the brightest part of our two lives, in these crazy times
And as the summer drew to a close we were chasing the sunlight every chance we had
We were singing all our favorite songs, making our way into the morning’s light
And shutting off our worries, and tossing the world away for a little while
And when I thought we'd lost it, there you were again with all your Postcard Love
And I wanna go back now, and I wanna see you again somehow
Cuz' it’s a postcard love we had, and it’s a postcard love we found
It’s the brightest part of our two lives, in these crazy times
And it’s a postcard love we had, and it’s a postcard love we found
It’s the brightest part of our two lives, in these crazy times

Silent Sky

And I stand at the seashore, and I look here for a while
And I ask around if anyone, has seen such a work of art
And I smell the salty air, feel the stinging on my lips
Hear the wind rush as it blows away all my old ideas
And the waves all fall right in, hear them tumble and then splash
See the smiles and then the laughter, of the people as they pass
And the gulls right up above, I watch them as they fly
Hear the sounds that they scream out, like little holes in a silent sky
And I wonder now, Just where this has been all my life
And I realize, What a perfect world we're living in
Just what a perfect world we're living in
In the absence of the clouds, the light will bring us out to play
It’ll shine it’s rays down on us, and make us really see
What is happening to us, when we live our lives inside
And we never stop to look around, or smell the salty air
So I look at all the mountains, the way they climb into the sky
See the mask of all the trees, seem to hide it's face
Still the gulls right up above, I watch them as they fly
Hear the sounds that they scream out, like little holes in a silent sky
And I wonder now, Just where this has been all my life
And I realize, What a perfect world we're living in
Just what a perfect world we're living in

Indiana

Yah there’s an angel from Indiana, singing angel from Montgomery
Singing out of all the words that I know
Yah there’s too many miles and too many roads
Two more hours then I gotta go
And you’ll be traveling outta this town alone
Yah and Jacksonville’s a ways from the Yellowhammer state
But don’t you worry your headlights will take you home
And I know that soon I’m on my way, I’m back at sea to sail again
Yah sometimes I just wish you could’ve stayed
But it’s all there for you
And it’s all I can do
To say goodbye and let you travel home
But I’ll see you again
Where the stars they land
So fly on my friend
Just find a place in your heart for me
Yah find a place in your heart for me
For when you land
She thinks I talk a little funny, and she laughs at all my money
She says that don’t matter you make smile now just the same
Yah she thinks that where all like this
In northern ways and hometown bliss
Yah she thinks that we all sound a little strange
But it’s all just the same, when I hear you call my name, I’ll be looking back and I will say
That I’ll see you again
Where the stars they land
So fly on my friend
Just find a place in your heart for me
Yah find a place in your heart for me
For when you land
See you sitting there next to me, Hear you singing out like a bird
Can’t get you out of my head no matter how I try
See I was never looking to find, something that could feel this right
But there you were and I couldn’t look away
(Chorus)

Go Save Yourself
05:50
|
|||
|
So there always comes a time
There’s a time where everyone will see
Where the nights all grow dark and all feel the same
And days all will slide just like a blade
But I will see you tomorrow, the last day of my life
While the stars are still shining and the lights all have died
And I’ll stand here despite you and start life without you in waves
So go save yourself before it's too late
And don’t waste your life away, in your dreams
And so the stories will play out
There’s a light that is lost inside a man
And the ghosts all will hide and call out my name
And the devil resides inside this page
But I will see you tomorrow, the last day of my life
While the stars are still shining and the lights all have died
And I’ll stand here despite you and start life without you in waves
(Chorus)
And run like you’ve never run, love like you’ve never loved
Live like it’s the last hour of your life
And fall like a house of cards, howl like a dog at night
Sing like it’s the last song of your life
(Chorus)

Behind Bar Windows
04:25
|
|||
|
She gets out of bed with the radio on
And drives herself to a job she does not care for
And in her car she’s flying down the highway
Flagging down this life that someone else has made for her
And so her drives are long and her time is short
And in her head she’s running just like a train, she fades away
When everybody has got a reason to stay,
But you and I we don’t know right from wrong
When the lives we start to live they feel so vain
And the lives we used to love have gone away
And It’s another sleepless night, It’s another broken dream
It’s another night I don’t know where you are
And it’s another sleepless dream, It’s another broken heart
It’s another time she’s left here all alone
She gets sewn up tight when they tell her to
To take her life and plot it out in Technicolor frames
So she’s praying now to come undone
Waiting ‘round for someone new to sew her wings back on
And every night she looks out at the sky
She’ll see the sun it’s setting behind smoky bar windows
Yah and it’s all like a dream inside your head
And she’s already dreaming of the life that she will live
But you and I we don’t know where to run
But you know you don’t have to know this all at once
(Chorus)
And how can I be so lost?
And how can she be sewn uptight?
And how can I be without anybody who’ll tell me which way to run?
(Chorus)

Let's Take It Home
03:52
|
|||
|
And I know that it's time
So let’s make our run
And there backs are turned
So let’s make our escape
And then we’ll sit up by the TV with a glass of wine
So baby we’ll be headed out anytime
Cuz’ I know I know I know
Let’s take it home
She said lets go, let’s take it home,
Let’s take it, let’s take it somewhere
Let’s take it somewhere we can be alone
So hey baby baby can’t you tell me something
Can’t you tell me something I don’t know
Let’s take it home
And I guess I was wrong
We can’t be apart
And my hands are tied
And soon yours will be to
So let’s stand up from the table and we’ll make our run
Call ourselves a taxi and be home by one
Cuz’ I know I know I know
Let’s take it home
(Chorus)
We can lie under the covers til’ dawn
We can hide until the morning’s light
And you can tell me what’s on your mind
Cuz’ I’ve been trying so hard to keep these thoughts inside now
(Chorus)

Beds by the Sea
04:09
|
|||
|
Well I believe we’ll be gone
We’re driving this car down the road til’ we find
The surf and the beach and the waves and the fire
Ucluelet is holding, the sands of Tofino for us
And bodies will run to the shore
We’ll dive in the ocean its good for the soul
And wade the Pacific, It’s so fucking cold
On my hands, on my knees, in my lungs, yah but well swim
And broken bottles, and all of the coral beneath
And boats on the ocean, and waves on the shore next to me
We’ll make our beds by the sea
On Chesterman’s endless beach
And all I believe that we need
Just sand and the shells underneath
And darkness will fall in the pines
The smokes in our lungs and the haze in the air
The fires will start as the waves slowly die and we all
We move closer to see
The sparks hit the air and the sound
Of Ben Howard songs on my radio
We all know the words, but we’ll all fall up short as we try
Yah to sing them aloud
And all we had left with is no inhibitions or strain
And all we return with is memories and pockets of sand
(Chorus)
|

8. |

|
I hear the guitars like dynamite, breaking up the satellites
Breaking like a wrecking ball
And the bang-bang of a drum, fireworks and making love
With too much time and nowhere to go
And your friends will all be there, smoking darts and drinking beer
We’ll be flying to high to fall
Just put your life on easy street, clap your hands and stomp your feet
Cuz’ tonight, Cuz’ tonight it’s going down
So tell your mother, tell your brother, tell your friends and all your lovers
Just where it’s all going down
And put your back into the music, cuz’ I haven’t seen you groovin’
It doesn’t matter who you are
We’d be so glad to take you there
So leave out all your cares
Just tell your friends to be there
And the parties will get you high, Starlight and fireflies
Yah we can get another going on
We’ll be hanging down by the lake, alcohol and Mary-Jane
We're drinking til' the morning’s dawn
This ain’t no black tie posh affair, you say you’ve got nothing to wear?
Just bring yourself as you are
And as the band plays we'll sing along, dancing out to all their songs
And making up the words we don’t know
(Chorus)

Hold on Tonight
04:10
|
|||
|
She wanted something more, she asked if anyone could help her through?
I needed something to, someone who could help these days go
And as these hours grew long she wondered if she would ever find
The place where she would feel found, the place where somebody helps her through
When all these moments seem empty, and life is passing you by
Just try to hold on this time
Just don’t you let yourself cry
Just let your fingers feel mine
Just try to hold on this time
Just try to hold on tonight
She asked for a better life, and prayed that it could be just like theirs
And I wanted mine to be, a little more like they are in the films
And as her days all flew by, and this whole world it felt too big to her
And then she looked at herself and saw that there would be someplace else
(Chorus)
Just try to hold on tonight

Superman or Spiderman?
04:43
|
|||
|
I saw your face in a photograph
You’re standing tall and staring back at me
With just a smile and simple clothes
I knew that you were hiding so much more
I wish that I could know you just a little more
I wish that I could know you at all
So Superman or Spiderman? Or French toast or bacon on your stove?
And who’s your spirit animal? And who would act in the movie of your life?
And do you take your coffee plain?
And do you eat the slice without any shame?
And when your sad or broken down, what makes it all better right away?
And I can’t sleep, cuz’ I’m dreaming, can’t seem to shake this feeling
Are you anything at all like me?
Just maybe we are so close, just maybe I don’t know
Are you anything at all like me?
You’re just a simple mystery, just another stone that’s left unturned
A puzzle from a factory, a riddle left without a single clue
I wish that I could know you just a little more
I wish that I could know you at all
So what’s your karaoke song?
And who’d you want to be when you were young?
And do you like the cats or dogs?
And what’s your favorite place to go at night?
And if you could have a super-power, just what would it be and tell me why?
And do you pick the Beatles or Stones, or Roger Moore or Connery to play Bond?
(Chorus)

Ladder to a Pine
04:02
|
|||
|
There’s a fox far in the meadow, with the flowers and the trees in the air
And Elks lie in the water, while pastures hold herds from the hills
There’s a ladder to a pine, It’s a staircase to the stars in the sky
And the satellites above they fly so very far away
And It's been said a thousand times before
But I won’t be around much more my dear
But I can say it’s been a ride for sure
And I won’t see this light much longer now
But I wont say I haven’t loved it all
In December when it’s cold, in the weight and loss of another year
But in springtime I’ll decide, and I’ll drive this car on to town
With guitar in my hand, I’ll find a place to sing my song
And I’ll shout it from the bow, I’ll shout it as were sinking slow
And it’s sad because I hope I’m wrong
In spite of all these old love songs
And I search and search for the words to say
(Chorus)
|

Fare Thee Well
05:05
|
|||
|
And a traveling man once said, that goodbyes are blessings
But goodbyes are better left unsaid
For we travel not to escape life, we travel for life to not go by escaping us
And the roads that we walk will be long, and the turnpikes will part
And I will have to stay and you will go
And if life is like a book, then you were just a page
And I was just a simple song you used to sing
And I will always remember
The disposition in the words you said
So Fare Thee Well my old friend
Fare Thee Well my old friend
And I hope that you find what you need, and I hope you stay happy
And loving to all that you will meet
And the soles on your feet will be worn, and the earth will feel small
And towns will all play catch and release with you
And the days will all pass you by, and memories will stay here
And flashbacks will take us far away, so far away from here
And I will always remember
The disposition in the words you said
So Fare Thee Well my old friend
Fare Thee Well my old friend
In the Culdesac of life I hope, and pray that our two spinning paths will meet someday
Cuz’ in the stories that you know I read, this life will always have a way of finding who you need
Yah and maybe many years from now, from walking a lifetime I will be the one that you will need
Yah or maybe just the same, maybe this is goodbye til’ the end of our days
So Fare Thee Well my old friend
Fare Thee Well my old friend
My old friend
Fare Thee Well my old friend
