take me back, to the end of the island
early ’94 in the dead of winter
before the hedge funds bought all the sand
before the century came to an end
are you waiting for me
standing on that point of land
where the atlantic meets the sound and
everything’s going according to plan
and we’re at the head of a table in a house full of windows
at the end of an island that only the sunrise knows
the northern lights from providence
bleed into the milky way
and the whole wide world
stays a safe distance away
we’ll meet under the lighthouse
embrace on top of the bluff
the light will erase the time between us
once again we’ll be the ones
at the head of a table in a house full of windows
at the end of an island that only the sunrise knows
so i’m in a 20 year old car
with a dream baby dream i drive
ever eastward ever eastward ever eastward
into the sunrise

The Seventh Word (2015)
05:00

I’m chasing this dream. I’ve got a few chords.
And I’m just riding on the F, back + forth,
Thinking one thought, since I got on.
I think that I’m the only one on this train who realizes what went wrong.
Jolie, I just missed falling in…
Jolie, I just missed falling in…
You sped off in that taxi
Before I said the seventh word
Now I’m afraid you only heard
“Jolie, I just missed falling in…”
She wasn’t looking for a cushion. She’s only got one life.
But she was searching for a softer landing and a peaceful flight.
So she went for a graceful exit before I gave her one that she don’t like.
Now I’m the only one still thinking about it on this endless ride.
When loose bricks fall on quiet sidewalks,
you can hear ’em crash from blocks away.
Without scaffolding they just keep raining down.
She’s still speeding away and I know she still feels lucky to this day.
‘cause you’re always missing the seventh word

The Next Big Thing
04:26

We traveled the world together in the same dime store shoes
We had our ups and our downs but we never spoke of the blues
Then the sun started shining on you
And the rain held off until you were through
Running around leaving this life behind
The next thing we knew, you were the next big thing
You said success wouldn’t change you, it’d only open the door
For you to escape the ones who never wanted more
So you left for the city in spring
By winter you were crowned king
And we faded away behind all your new memories
The next thing we knew, you were the next big thing
Now you’re up with the stars
And we got all the time in the world
Sitting down here watching it from afar
Home is a place you can never go back when you change your point of view
And home is a place you always invent when the moment is right to be new
We get the feeling you’re gone
Lost to the great beyond
Farewell my friend
We’ll remember you
The next thing we knew, you were the next big thing

sirens out my window
echo down the alleyway
explosions and fragmentation waves
made the city shift and shake
we saw it loud
we heard it clear
‘cos no one lives in isolation here
now we have to save the world again
so zero out time
because now is then
baby, take a look around you
save your requiems
we’re gonna have to save the world from ourselves again...
driverless cars running the lights
everywhere we are tonite
think it over
think it through
in this moment who are you?
save your requiems
we’re gonna have to save the world
from ourselves again
and again…

There Goes The Sky
03:46
|

I set out walking, just to find a friend,
Make a human connection in a world of pretend,
To share faith in the future, in the face of decay,
‘Cos when you can’t escape the night, every dawn is the end of days.
The walls get high,
The darkness amplifies,
(And) there goes the sky.
You can understand but it doesn’t mean you feel.
The hardest things to show are the easiest to conceal.
Actions can destroy more than words can heal.
God save us all when all the truths are revealed.
The walls get high.
The darkness amplifies.
(And) there goes the sky.
