A new world hangs
Outside the window
Beautiful and strange
It must mean I've fallen away
I must be
Sound and color with me for my mind
And it should show you where to go when I need to speak
Sound and color
With me in my mind
Sound and color
Try to keep yourself awake
Sound and color
This life ain't like a book
Sound and color
I wanna touch a human being
Sound and color
I want to go back to sleep
Sound and color
Ain't life just awfully strange
Sound and color
You wish you never gave it all away
Sound and color
The more the feeling, setting of the sun
Sound and color
Life is
Sound and color
Love is
Sound and color
Love is
Sound and color
Sound and color
Sound and color

Don't Wanna Fight
My lines, your lines
Don't cross them lines
What you like, what I like
Why can't we both be right?
Attacking, defending
Until there's nothing left worth winning
Your pride and my pride
Don't waste my time
I don't wanna fight no more [x6]
Take from my hand
Put in your hands
The fruit of all my grief
Lying down ain't easy when
Everyone is pleasing
I can't get no relief
Living ain't no fun
The constant dedication
Keeping the water and power on
There ain't no money left
Why can't I catch my breath?
I'm gonna work myself to death
I don't wanna fight no more [x6]
No, no, no, no!
I don't wanna fight no more [x7]
I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight!
I don't wanna fight no more [x8]
Don't cross them lines
What you like, what I like
Why can't we both be right?
Attacking, defending
Until there's nothing left worth winning
Your pride and my pride
Don't waste my time
I don't wanna fight no more [x6]
Take from my hand
Put in your hands
The fruit of all my grief
Lying down ain't easy when
Everyone is pleasing
I can't get no relief
Living ain't no fun
The constant dedication
Keeping the water and power on
There ain't no money left
Why can't I catch my breath?
I'm gonna work myself to death
I don't wanna fight no more [x6]
No, no, no, no!
I don't wanna fight no more [x7]
I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight!
I don't wanna fight no more [x8]

Dunes
Somewhere over the dunes, love
I walk, I wept
Enough
I turn the desert into sea, babe
I swam from the terrible dust
I don't know whose problem it is
I don't know whose love to give
I'm losing it
Somewhere in me, a memory that I cannot gather anymore
Oh, my word
Oh, my, my
Quiet and empty
Oh, I think I'm losing it
Oh, I think I'm losing it
Oh, I don't know what to do about it
When I'm not so sure about it
I don't know whose problem it is
I don't know whose f*ck to give
I'm losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
I walk, I wept
Enough
I turn the desert into sea, babe
I swam from the terrible dust
I don't know whose problem it is
I don't know whose love to give
I'm losing it
Somewhere in me, a memory that I cannot gather anymore
Oh, my word
Oh, my, my
Quiet and empty
Oh, I think I'm losing it
Oh, I think I'm losing it
Oh, I don't know what to do about it
When I'm not so sure about it
I don't know whose problem it is
I don't know whose f*ck to give

Future People
Some want to see
Those who've gone above
Friends that they've lost
People they love
I'd rather meet
The me down the road
To lead me through the fog
Wouldn't ask for more
Children
Take or leave it
Come, people
You got to give a little, get a little
And see it
Like future you, people
Some things could be
Seen from above
Thread of design
Don't trip me up
Children
Take or leave it
Come, people
You got to give a little, get a little
And see it
Like future you, people
Listen to teacher
Imagine the sound
And listen loud
And then you'll reach that top
Those who've gone above
Friends that they've lost
People they love
I'd rather meet
The me down the road
To lead me through the fog
Wouldn't ask for more
Children
Take or leave it
Come, people
You got to give a little, get a little

See, I've been having me a real hard time
But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright
So I just kept dreaming, yeah, I just kept dreaming
It wasn't very hard
I spent all this time tryna figure out why
Nobody on my side
See, I've been having me a real good time
But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright
So please don't take my feelings

Yeah, if I wanted to, I'd be alright
So I just kept going, I just kept going
And hoping I'm growing in
Well this good I've found, I spent all this time
Tryna find my way here
And I've been having me a real fun time
But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright

Guess Who
I can't tell you how I feel, but I do
Those things they say can't get to me, but they do
I don't see the sky as blue, as you do
Should I fantasize? There must be some way to love again
It's been so hard for a girl like me, it's true
People say I look just like my daddy, cause I do
All I really want is peace of mind
Why is everything so complicated?
Why is everyone so infatuated?
I gather myself safely
To a life [?]
Everybody's leaving all the time
All I really want is peace of mind
Those things they say can't get to me, but they do
I don't see the sky as blue, as you do
Should I fantasize? There must be some way to love again
It's been so hard for a girl like me, it's true
People say I look just like my daddy, cause I do
All I really want is peace of mind
Why is everything so complicated?
Why is everyone so infatuated?
I gather myself safely
To a life [?]
Everybody's leaving all the time
All I really want is peace of mind

Shoegaze
Can't wait for night to come
That's when the fun really begins
My band cools off when that day is done
And then I tuck myself in
It ain't no fun to be lonely
But I was not too lonely
And I'm beginning to realize it
I can't have everything, everything
Why can't I?
Let's go make memories
Precious and temporary
Of all the people I meet
I want to take you out with me
It ain't no fun to be lonely
But I was not too lonely
And I'm beginning to realize it
I can't have everything, everything
Why can't I?
Or, do I?
Jesus is waiting on me
Just as he always does
Something'll be coming up
Just like it always does
It ain't no fun to be lonely
But I was not so lonely
And I'm beginning to realize that
I can't have everything, everything
Why can't I?
Why can't I?
Or do I?
Do I?
Ooh ah
Why can't I?
Or do I?
That's when the fun really begins
My band cools off when that day is done
And then I tuck myself in
It ain't no fun to be lonely
But I was not too lonely
And I'm beginning to realize it
I can't have everything, everything
Why can't I?
Let's go make memories
Precious and temporary
Of all the people I meet

Gemini
On a planet not so far away
We were born together
In the beginning there was just you and me
Where we was washed up
Upon this river
Suckle on the honey of the Tennessee
Where we would sleep
In the soft sunshine
I smile at you and you to me
And in the dark
I see the moon shine in your eyes
We were strong and tall as weeds
Never live forever, there
No such thing
I looked at you, and you looked into me
And we saw in each other, everything
We knew no fear as we grew the years
That's the growing up, we've come to love
On this planet not so far away
We wouldn't stay together
Rolling in a dream
We'd drift apart, on down the stream
Like honeysuckle tangled up in kudzu vine
The snake that lay in the sun, so fine
I saw the true you and you, true me
And in your eyes
I'd see the dark inside of you
Woke from dreams
Pulled up like weeds
Never knew no better
There was no such thing
I reached for you like a child that clings
Oh, how we saw in each other, everything
Everything
Everything
We were born together
In the beginning there was just you and me
Where we was washed up
Upon this river
Suckle on the honey of the Tennessee
Where we would sleep
In the soft sunshine
I smile at you and you to me
And in the dark
I see the moon shine in your eyes
We were strong and tall as weeds
Never live forever, there
No such thing
I looked at you, and you looked into me
And we saw in each other, everything
We knew no fear as we grew the years
That's the growing up, we've come to love
On this planet not so far away
We wouldn't stay together
Rolling in a dream
We'd drift apart, on down the stream
Like honeysuckle tangled up in kudzu vine
The snake that lay in the sun, so fine
I saw the true you and you, true me
And in your eyes
I'd see the dark inside of you
Woke from dreams
Pulled up like weeds
Never knew no better
There was no such thing
I reached for you like a child that clings
Oh, how we saw in each other, everything
Everything

Over My Head
I'm in over my head, I don't think of you
As bits and pieces, I think of you only like a miracle
Lovin' so deeply, I feel it through all my past lives
It feels good, I'm never saying goodbye
It feels good, I'm never saying goodbye
I'm in over my head, over my head
I'm in over my head, over my head
Signs, they explain it to me
There's no joy I can take with knowing what's waiting
Here for now, but not for long
Where do my my mind slip away? Explain that to me
I'm in over my head
Loving so deeply, I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
