Tongue in Cheek
01:47
|
|||
I've learned my lesson, you write it all down.
You take what you can get, cause it might not come back around.
I stepped on some broken glass,
holding my earrings and photographs of who I've left behind.
They say it's all tongue and cheek, but what does that really mean?
And I like the kind of birds that fly, so very high.
And I'm out the door and in through a window.

Verse 1:
Little bird turns into a big bird on the double.
You've got these gears you turn and I think that I'm in trouble.
Remember that old piano that sits in the back.
It's the one that I always want to play so bad.

Sing in front of the TV, yeah.
And would you stand still for me to see.
And you say I'm such a good person, oh yeah.
And I say you're not so bad yourself.
Verse 2:
I will sit here till my feet go numb in the corner.
Clap your hands and sing for me, yeah.
And now I play the guitar that my uncle use to play.
And it's all in my head and now what was I gonna say?

This two room apartment scares me to death.

Some how you've changed,
or maybe I'm not gonna play your games.

Gift
04:46
|

Verse 1:
People have questions that nobody knows the answers to.
They sit in their big rooms, on even more important afternoons.
It's bad to think of what she'd be like if she were still alive,
but still I try to think about what she would be like now.
Words are hard to come by, but when they're there,
when they're there it will be time to share.
Laughter comes from understanding one another.
Chorus 1:
Whooo! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Verse 2:
These days a hug would be a gift.
Even if it's all I would ever be able to afford to give
We think too much about where we live.
Apartments that smell like old basements.
Chorus 2:
Whooo! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Chorus 3:
Whooo! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

They can't see you like I see you, nobody will see you like I do
And we danced a two step, that's two steps to me and two from the rest
And I'll sit here and watch you wave from the car

I've got dreams of a small house, a house to make my own
A place under a tree that's dry as a bone

Cause I've let too many people drive me around.
Four years away from myself, time spent being too proud.
