no one wants to feel
something that don’t feel right
no one wants to ask
someone who can’t hear you
but without feeling wrong
how can we know what feels right?
no one wants to love
someone who don’t love you
but without feeling wrong
how can we know what feels right?
no one wants to feel something that don’t feel right

|

i can’t keep running, i’m no river
i can’t keep running 'cause i’m no river i can’t run forever, i’m no river

and i know that i’m alive today but i’m human, i’m human
i can’t sit still, i’m no mountain
i can’t sit so still ‘cause i’m no mountain i can’t sit still forever, i’m no mountain

Francine

Oh Francine, don’t you be so mean,
you don’t belong to me
you look so good and you feel so good
i’d keep you if i could
i’d make you mine (yes i would)
yeah Francine you’re almost
all that i need,
you and me and my man make three
you look so good and you feel so good and
i’d keep you if i could
i’d make you mine (yes i would)
Oh Francine, you ride like a dream
just like light through a stone on a crown on a queen
you look so good and you feel so good
i’d keep you if i could i’d make you mine (yes i would)
oh Francine don’t be so mean you don’t belong to me

Moth Song
03:38
|
|||
every night i fly into your light
and your light, burns my wings
every time
in the dark
my heart goes blind
when i try to reach and
touch your fire oh my love,
i lose my mind
in your light
i lose my mind
and i want you so bad
i want you so bad it kills me
when i come inside from the outside
yeah i die, every night
like a fool in your lampshade
in the dark
my heart goes blind
in your light
i lose my mind

The Waves
02:54
|
|||
in my soft bed
through my dreams
next to her
i hear the waves
emeralds and pearls
rubies and gold
i brought home less than i left
under the waves
five times in a row
i left my home to stand
on a sinking boat
and i know when the waves
get a hold of your heart they don’t let go
she sleeps so sweetly
i wear my soft shoes
so she’ll only
hear the waves

Guadalupe
03:53
|
|||
night wraps itself up in the day, Guadalupe
the eye wraps itself in the hurricane, Guadalupe,
and i hear her say that
help ain’t far, it’s in your heart.
sugar wraps itself up in the cane, Guadalupe
the lightning wraps itself up in the rain, Guadalupe,
yeah i hear her say that
peace ain’t far, it’s in your heart.
the needle wraps itself up in the hay, Guadalupe
just like guilt wraps itself up in the blame, Guadalupe,
oh i hear her say that
love ain’t far, it’s in your heart.
the arrow wraps itself up in the aim, Guadalupe
just like the soul wraps itself up in a name like Guadalupe,
and i hear her say that
heaven ain’t far, it’s in your heart.

Wantin' Ain't Gettin'
02:51
|
|||
when i say good morning
and you say goodbye
with your arms wrapped around me,
when i ask if you love me
and you say that you might
with your arms wrapped around me,
and i heard that
wantin’ ain’t gettin’
now i know
when you are my lover
we turn out the light
i wanna believe you,
i’ve got your love wrapped around me
so i put up a fight ‘cause
i wanna believe you
but i heard that
wantin’ ain’t gettin’
now i know
and i heard how it hurts
yeah it kills all your nerve,
that shit makes you blue.
and i heard how you cry
like you’re wounded
now i know it’s true,
what i heard that
wantin’ ain’t gettin’
now i know

Come See Me
02:33
|
|||
if it left you while you were sleeping
and the morning lends you a light
oh your shadow is walking beside you
come and see me tonight
if they emptied out your pockets
and they hung you out to dry
but you’ve never felt such freedom
come and see me tonight
if you’re sorry that you didn’t
and you’re sorry that you might
oh, you’re keeping all of your secrets
come and see me tonight
if your cup is spilling over
that funeral dress, it don’t fit you right
try to move inside all that motion and
come and see me tonight

We Were Wild
03:15
|
|||
we were wild, wild wild wild,
looking hungry, wild wild wild,
taking turns sleeping, wild!
the end of the forest is the start of the sea,
we are wild and we are born to be
take your time, time time time,
it will take you time time time
to remember being wild.
the end of the forest is the start of the sea and
we are wild, yeah we are born to be.
from the start to the end to the start,
guard your wild heart!
we were wild, wild wild wild,
always moving, wild wild wild,
building fires, wild!
the end of the forest is the start of the sea,
and we are wild, oh we are born to be
from the start to the end to the start
guard your wild heart!
the end of the forest is the start of the sea
and we are wild, and we are born to be.

Find It
03:17
|
|||
lying by the western sea
i let the sky bury me
lying in the grass so green
i let the sky bury me
but don’t, don’t wait too long...
no don’t, don’t wait too long...
trying so hard not to see
i let my fear bury me
i was loving everyone but me
and i let my fear bury me
but don’t, don’t wait too long...
no don’t, don’t wait too long...
go out and find it
go find what you need!
go chase it down and find it
go and find what you need.
i was lying in his loving arms
and i let the night bury me
snow was falling but we were warm
i let the night bury me
but don’t, don’t wait too long...
no don’t, don’t wait too long...
go out and find it
go find what you need!
go chase it down and find it
go find what you need.

Yours and Mine
02:48
|
|||
in the light of your love
i’m a diamond, i shine
and all my life
i’d been answering the phone
to a dial tone
in the light of my love
you are a diamond, you shine
and maybe all your life
you’d been answering the phone
to a dial tone
in the light of your love
i die, i’m a diamond and i shine
in the light of my love
you’re all mine

Alone
03:29
|
|||
with my boyfriends, with my family,
sometimes I felt like I was living
alone
in a city, in a crowd,
sometimes I felt like I was standing
alone
in the movies, on the phone,
sometimes I felt like I was crying
alone
have you ever felt that way?
if you’ve ever felt that way,
you haven’t felt it alone
when my spirit leaves my body,
someday I’ll never, ever again feel
alone
