There's not much I can say that you don't already know.
I'm just glad we don't have to spend much time all alone.
I can say "hey" when I'm feeling blue,
show you who I am and what I wanna do,
I can write a song and sing it here for you.
There's not much I can do to show you that I care.
I just hope you know I'll always be right there.
You can call me up whenever you want to,
tell me about the things that you're going through.
If I write a song and sing it here for you,
it's to show you I love you.

Make It Right
04:03
|

The colors I see
are neither blue nor green.
They're black and white
and that ain't right.
That's why,
we have to make it right.
Take heart, my friend.
This ain't the end.
Carry on and fight.
We'll make it right.
That's right.
We have to make it right.

From God

I heard this from God:
"You're gonna die. Maybe today."
I said, "Save me, please."
He said, "Reese, there's really no way."
I said, "So what do I do?"
He said, "Hey, you just be you."
I said, "Is that really it?"
He said, "Yes. Just do what you do."

Blue Outer Space
07:25

|

Blue outer space,
smooth every way.
Through inner grace,
groove in your place.
Earrings hanging at an angle,
I just love the way they dangle.
Through the bottle at the table
I can see you are no stranger
to the bending of the light.
Across from me you're such a sight.
You know that's right.
You're on my mind.
I'll meet you at the edge of time.
Let's get out of here,
go anywhere.
Take me down the street and up your stairs.
When red shoes hit the dying sidewalk
the clock will tick, no time to talk.
Blue outer space,
smooth every way.
Through inner grace,
groove in your place.

Ghost

I made your mark.
I spoke your name.
The sky grew dark
and suddenly you came.
Transcend space and time,
whispering the truth.
Whispering lies.
I see right through you.
You made my mark.
You spoke my name.
The sky grew dark
and suddenly I came.
I walked through space and time,
living in a dream,
believing every lie.
You see right through me.

Submarine

I'm a submarine and I dive down
and I spot my enemies with sound.
I don't know if you knew,
but it's my very first time around.
And it seems to me
that the very last submarine
to brave this coral reef never resubmerged.
I don't know if you knew this,
but I am in complete control.
I've taken myself this far
and my body still floats.
And it seems to me
that they very last submarine
to brave this coral reef never resubmerged.
And it seems to me
that the captain of that ship
was the bravest man with the plan that never worked.
Save me if you can
from my devastating fate.
I'll be lost in the Devil's Triangle
and welcomed at the gates
with open arms.
Never say that again.
I'll stay in the sea for sometime.
Never say that I won't come back
just to see what I'll find.
And it seems to me
that the very last submarine
to brave this coral reef never resubmerged.
And it seems to me
that the captain of that ship
was the bravest man with the plan that never worked.

Goodbye
06:12
|
|

I wanted to be with you today
and I can't think of the words to say.
Hand in hand and face to face,
my careful planning goes to waste.
I only wanna see you smile
and for you to touch your finger to your lips
and for you to touch your finger to my lips
and know we're gonna be all right.
But my dream will never come true.
Forever will I be alone.
Never may I atone
for the mistakes I know I made.
Tell me the truth
Do you love me as I love you?
Will you take my hand
and help me face this cold, cold life?
And as you walk away,
I'd like to say one more thing.
I hope you can hear
as the sky rains with my tears.
Goodbye

Alone in Missoula
02:19
|
|

Darling, oh, darling,
don't leave me alone.
Take me to Missoula,
yes, carry me home.
We've seen the leafy sidewalks
down University Way.
We've walked the River Trail
past Brennan's Wave.
We've floated the Clark Fork
from ol' White Trash Beach,
past Jacob's Island
to Madison Street.
Lover, oh, lover,
don't leave me alone.
Stay here in Missoula,
stay here at home.
In every bar on Higgins Street
and all that surround
you drank from my glass
and then shot me down.
And every time I stumble home
by the light of the moon,
I'll be dead and lost
just thinking about you.
Sweetness, oh, sweetness,
you left me alone.
Alone in Missoula,
alone in our home.
