PRETTY LITTLE PLANET
04:31
|

Pretty little planet
Floating near the sun
Everybody lives here
Almost everyone
Wonder what it’s like here
Is the water cool?
Is there a place to catch a movie?
Are the people very cruel?
Would they let me stay here
If I tried to fit in?
If I met a nice girl
Nice for a human
Pretty little planet
Blue and white and green
I don’t speak the language
But you know what I mean
Pretty little planet
Everybody leaves
Even the remembered
Fade eventually
Pretty little planet,
Time moves in a line
If I settle down here
Could I make her mine?

WATCH THE PLANES
06:03

She used to watch the planes
She found it rather strange
They could stay up in the sky
Though they were heavier than rain
They were held up by some kind of magic
She knew that she was stuck
But she wanted to go up
To live beyond space and time no rocket is enough
So she studied dusty maps
Thought to herself “Perhaps
If I could bring space down to me
I’d see it while I’m trapped”
So she travelled all her life
Saw countries far and wide
Learned spells in seven languages
And knew the math besides
But when she came back home
Nobody she’d known
Recognized the woman as
The girl from down the road
And then when she took the stage
Something rather strange
She could make the light and sound behave
In new and curious ways
The crowd was frozen scared
Mouths wide open stared
The sky was cracking, bleeding light
And yet nobody cared

SEE YOU AFTER
05:10
|
|||
I sent you a note on a postcard
My first day
You mailed me back a couple of songs you wrote
Hidden in a mixtape
It started with so far away
And every time the chorus would play
Peals of laughter
See you after
We get out this year
Summer’s coming
And she’s humming
Softly in my ear
We ended up at the same party
By mistake
I found myself missing the memories
We’d never make
Well maybe if I wasn’t so shy
And terrible at saying goodbye
Peals of laughter
See you after
We get out this year
Summer’s coming
And she’s humming
Softly in my ear

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
05:24
|
|||
Six o’clock the ringing of the bell
Stealing water from the wishing well
Jukebox junkie on a carousel
In the witching hour the evening sun
Lights the path home when our work is done
Moonset, daybreak, brave another one
He knows that somehow,
Out from behind his disguise
He’s more than meets the eye

I MUST BE DREAMING
05:43
|
|||
The way she wears her hair up
Just to take it down
The way she smiles
When only you’re around
I’ve heard it all before
“When you know, you’ll know”
But I can’t even remember
Who I was before
I must be dreaming
If I can, I’ll try to understand
If I can, I’d like to be your man
If I could speak her name
When she’s in a dream
Does she already know she’s got the best of me?
It’s getting hazy
Fog is lifting on the night
The clock is frozen
I’ve got to get it right
I must be dreaming
If I can, I’ll try to understand
If I can, I’d like to be your man

ME & MY ARROW
03:35
|
|||
Me and my arrow
Straighter than narrow
Wherever we go
Everyone knows
It’s me and my arrow
Me and my arrow
Taking the high road
Wherever we go
Everyone knows
It’s me and my arrow
And in the morning when I wake up
She may be gone
I don’t know
And if we make up just to break up
I’ll carry on
Oh yes I will
Me and my Arrow
Me and my Arrow

I COULD NEVER
07:24
|
|||
I’m being pursued
Chased by someone who got the best of you
Pointed across the room and said
“I’m coming for the rest of you”
My heart is pounding but I can’t feel it
If I turned down my love for you
I could hide in plain sight
But I could never, never, never turn off love
It’s what makes me me
It makes me I
If I hold my breath
Shake off the feeling of my impending death
And as for the rest
I know I’m the last
I know this is a test
My heart is pounding but I can’t feel it
If I turned down my love for you
I could hide in plain sight
But I could never, never, never turn off love
It’s what makes me me
It makes me I
I know I’m the last
I know this is a test
It’d be so easy
To lay down and die
My heart is pounding but I can’t feel it
If I turned down my love for you
I could hide in plain sight
But I could never, never, never turn off love
It’s what makes me me
It makes me I

INDIANA
03:40
|
|||
Ah-ooh, Indiana
Ah-ooh, Indiana
Will she or she won’t?
Your mother’s never coming home
She lingers in the door
Without her what are you fighting for?
Ah-ooh, Indiana
Ah-ooh, Indiana
Your center lost at sea
Thinking “what will become of me?”
Your skin is trapped below
While about you she floats,
She flies
Ah-ooh, Indiana
Ah-ooh, Indiana

WE COULD START OVER
05:11
|
|||
Opening my eyes and hoping
Clouds would go away
Dreaming of another time
I’m living in yesterday
Wishes do come true
And here is mine for you
We could be young
We could start over
Crowded room of people and I
Never felt so alone
Thought I’d dig the travelling life
Now nowhere feels like home
Silhouettes undress
I’d like to go back I guess
We could be young
We could start over
Disappearing into space
I am not afraid
I’ve lost myself a thousand times
Inside your quiet gaze
Rebecoming stars
Remembering who we are
We could be young
We could start over

THE ONE I LOST
05:28
|
|||
This one’s going to the one I lost
This one’s going to the one I lost
This one’s going to the one I lost
This one’s going to the one I lost
This one’s going to the one I lost
This one’s going to the one I lost
This one’s going to the one I lost
This one’s going to the one I love
And I’m getting stronger
And I’ll carry on
I won’t make it harder
I’m still here singing your song
