i saw the connection between the signs on the road and the end of the street. it was the day la saw stars someone pushed aside the smog. let them see what they've been missing. i wish i knew what i do know now. i know it's dim but it's the truth somehow. and later on i learn you yell loud. what the hell happened to you. when will this sly chemical give up and pull her teeth from me. dawn is a sweet delusion. best not to think it's free. i laid eyes on the golden gate. it felt so strange. and there i drove across the sea. into that city. oh elly i saw you in the sky tonight. yes sir, long after the stars died and i. hold on. i wish i knew what i do know now. i know it's dim but it's the truth somehow. and somehow the truth feels like i'm free now i felt it crawling in my hands when thailand was still siam

this is how it all went down. we made love by the cliffs of plum island sound. and on the stones we scratched out knees. we bare scars of sweet memory the night that you fell asleep. but my eyes caught her at a spark. i showed her a flower that just opened up. and maybe we can fix this maybe i. could be your prince and wake you up by the oceanside. there she sleeps on a bed of nails. wrapped up in beach plum thorns shoving key limes into mexican ales. my real life fairy tale stoned and drunk to all hell don't worry i would never tell. oh yeah, and she'll wake up on her own this time. take one look around this island and go back to sleep. can you blame her i know that this is not what you had seen when you were imagining your first. time with me. i know just breath. yeah

Coat Rack

so if you're looking for a place to call your home. i'll offer you my room it's not much but it can be your throne. and it come with my heart you should know. and by the way i saw that journal reading cop. and i told him you say hello. so is this a place where you could hang your hat. don't ya see my hat's always been hanging on your old coat rack. the one in the corner that held your father's overcoat. and jackets way too small now cause everybody grew up. so put your dress on and you can do my tie. and i swore that i'd listen last time that you did this. but here i am with my tie in my hands. see that brown sweatshirt in the closet. my that's mine your mom washed it. that time you got car sick and i never got it back. i want it back. but it's useless we both out grew it. hold it up to your eyes a sacrifice. i'm yours if you can tie this right

fireworks and rain oh what a shame it happens. it was the fourth of july. glowing summer tan you scrapped your knee again. and i know it was a making you cry. cause they light up the night. and they shine so bright in that summer sky. and the fireflies do the same. an insect the stars try to emulate. little weeds and flames. day and night it seems. and we sang it was the fourth of july. those were the days. escaping to the shade. and i know we were getting it high. and each firefly grabs a strand of hair. beautiful medusa with your eyes wild red dear

Bus

so i got to the back of the bus. learned that to live is to love. it's the only thing that makes sense. it gives purpose to all this time spent. if there's one thing i know. time it don't move slow. if there's one thing i've seen. you gotta breathe deep. cause i have a feeling that someday. air it won't be free. and when that time come remember. this thing. and so i look around here. there used to be paintings in the streets. but they have been ruined by the souls of soldiers feet. and i can't repair them. cause i can't paint worth anything. if there's one thing i'll dream. it's bright lights and a screaming sea. if there's one thing i'll do. it's kiss i'll kiss you. cause i have a feeling that someday. you'll be gone from me. and when that time comes remember. this thing. so i got to the back of the bus. i learned that life is a whole lot of lost love. but they say the glove only fits. if we make our hands shrink a little bit

i thought for a second there you woke up. but i was wrong. and all that girl wants is a song. and all the guy wants is to feel like. he wrote it for someone. you can rewrite, rewrite and rewrite you diary. but there's no need. they know exactly what they're doing. and they anticipate expression before they've told you anything. and they've got plans but i say fuck them. and i had a dream this one time. you had a candle and i. was kneeling by an epitaph except it wasn't mine. what does it say i hope it's kind. beloved father beloved son he was so young. we will always keep you room. always the way it was. and that's all he could ask is that we remember. a piece of his past. do you know that i once loved you. and i still do but i don't want to. and i have yet to meet somebody genuinely unscarred. and for that i'm sorry but i'm not him. i'm the one i know you could fall in love with. beloved mother my lovely dove she was so young. we will always keep you painting up on the walls. and that's all she could ask is that we look at. a piece of her past. this song's for the time we took those chances. this song's for the thing that we did wrong. this song's for the time we took those chances. this song's for the things we did right. this song's for the lovers the ones that put it on the line. they just don't see it will they ever regret it in time. i had a dream this one time you had a candle and i. was kneeling by an epitaph but this time it was mine. what does it say i hope it's kind. beloved brother beloved son he was so young. we will always listen to your songs when we're having fun. and that's all i could ask is that you listen to a piece of my past
