Open Your Eyes

I have found peace in sound
Scorned or crowned
Lost or found
You can open your eyes
You can open your eyes
You can open your eyes
You can open your eyes

When You're Away
03:48
|

I don’t feel quite the same when you are away
And now that I’m thinking I realize you’ve been gone for days
Down at the arcade there’s lovers
The kid in the glasses I swear that he’s been he for days
Wandering the streets I wonder what I’m doing tonight
Planes passing over, like people slip they through my mind
Float on the river for hours
The girls on the shore, they’ll be laughing the whole day away
When you think of tomorrow
Do you think of a life that’s whole
Cause when you’re away
There is nothing left for me to know
I cleaned the house, I took out the trash like you said
I made the sheets but it doesn’t put you in my bed
I had a dream that you left me
Awoke to find that you’re coming back home it’s today
I got Band of Horses on the stereo babe
There’s room over here if you want to sit next to me
So you left all your worry in Boston
Let’s sit by the fire
Arrive at this moment and be
When you think of tomorrow
Do you think of a life that’s whole
Cause when you’re away
There is nothing left for me to know

Start-Stopping
03:53
|

|
I don’t even know
Or so you say when were home
We’re just a bundle of bones
Hope not to be outgrown
Not a lover who can’t say they’ve been alone
Or a traveler taken shelter from the storm
Shelter from a storm
Yet you start stopping
When a single thing goes wrong
(When maybe you should really just go)
You got no where to go
Still you’re alone
Sun-sets, the cities abuzz
Find your place in the dust
Not a lover who can’t say they’ve been alone
Or a traveler taken shelter from the storm
Shelter from a storm
Yet you start stopping
When a single thing goes wrong
(When maybe you should really just go)
You got every right to be
You got every right to seek
A life of love and mystery, mystery
Take the fire douse the heat
Take the past and let it be
Nothing but an ancient memory, memory
Not a lover who can’t say they’ve been alone
Or a traveler taken shelter from the storm
Shelter from a storm
Yet you start stopping
When a single thing goes wrong
(When maybe you should really just go)

Looking Glass

I gave my love to the first woman who came along
And now I’m wondering where she is
I got tired of the bruises on my shoulders
So I said fuck it, let’s call a lift
It’s not the love we lack
It’s the life we yearn
I hope tomorrow’s like a looking glass (Looking Glass and you)
And you’re staring back at me
And as I watch the sunset through the pines (Sunset through the pines)
Maybe heaven’s a place I can believe
When the mist goes to the bridge and I can’t see the river
I’m wondering if you can
When you said that you’d see me on the other side
Well, I’m wondering what you meant
It’s not the life we lead
It’s the one we dream
I hope tomorrow’s like a looking glass (Looking Glass and you)
And you’re staring back at me
And as I watch the sunset through the pines (Sunset through the pines)
Maybe heaven’s a place I can believe
I got news for you
I got news for you
We’re both losing
We’re both losing our cool
I hope tomorrow’s like a looking glass (Looking Glass and you)
And you’re staring back at me
And as I watch the sunset through the pines (Sunset through the pines)
Maybe heaven’s a place I can believe

All the Time
03:28

I don’t want to break your heart
I just want to make you blush
I’ve been seeing you around
I’m talking about all the time
If you don’t love him say no
We can take this town by storm
We could maybe live for today
What about all the time?
I don’t want to waste your love
I just want to be your drug
I would like to make you come
I’m talking about every night
I don’t want to mess around
Maybe we could tie this down
We could just drive at night
I’m talking about all the time

Howl

You’ll take hope and you’ll take spark
Watch the fumble through the dark
And you’ll take credit for the bread you leave on a beggar’s door
But you’ll never shake his hand
City streets guns in hand
Get on home if you don’t wanna be found
I am sorry for the words you burned in the cities pours
Spray paint slogans turning up
War drums beating in tune howl
Pour some mercy on me now
Oceans rise put up the wall
Stone ripped cities sky to fall
Toss that cigarette’s it’s easier without regret
So burn the forest burn it all
War drums beating in tune howl
Pour some mercy on me now

Maybe

Maybe we’re better off this way
Maybe fighting makes us close
Is that all that you would be pay
To get a dollar for a note
I wanna be there when you find you way
Against the railing welcome home
I am sorry for the words I said
Don’t you know I love you most
Maybe it’s not what you think
Maybe I was doing the right thing
Maybe you got more than you deserved
Then again I never touched her
I wanna be there when you find you way
Nothing says anger like no words
Don’t say sorry for the words you said
Just come in and drop you coat

I Got My Love
04:08

I got a new suit
I got a ring
Let’s go downtown and maybe
We can make this a thing
You got a green dress
I guess that’ll do
If we hurry maybe
They won’t have a clue
On a summers day you’ll
Wade in the water
The sun will kiss your face and I’ll
Run run run right to you
You can keep the hilltop
I got my love
You can give it your best shot
But I got my love
Don’t matter what the boys say
You got my love
I’m not going no where
You got my love
You’re serving tables
Soon you’ll run the bar
I’m living check to check
But I got a guitar
You want your weekends
You want a dog
Just know I love you
Together we’re strong
You can keep the hilltop
I got my love
You can give it your best shot
But I got my love
Don’t matter what the boys say
You got my love
I’m not going no where
You got my love
I’ll keep you up all night
I’ll treat your love just right
I know that winter breaks to summer
You can keep the hilltop
I got my love
You can give it your best shot
But I got my love
Don’t matter what the boys say
You got my love
I’m not going no where/Don't matter what the girls say
You got my love
I’ll keep you up all night
I’ll treat your love just right
I know that winter breaks to summer

Dusk settles on a blood red orange hue
You got a long way to go
Blue ridge mountains cover everything in sight
Don’t go it alone
I am your only son
What will come when you go?
Time she’s stubborn and she heal
But she’ll strip you to your bones
If this chance would come again
If the world would keep spinning ‘round
An expired counter, rolling over
If you reap the harvest
If you suck right from the ground than you
Live to see another day and
From the burning sunset
To the darkest forest
Lovers sleep and lonely brewed
