Dude's running in the rain Trying to catch the morning train Blood boils in his veins As he heard it pull away Less time fixing his hair Figuring what to wear A second here, a second there He mighta made that train Meanwhile some poor guy Is in jail, doing time Each minute dribbles by Like molasses from a spoon Funny thing about time Doesn't move in a straight line Just ask albert einstein He'll break it down for you Pre-chorus: Give a little bit, take a little bit Move a little bit, shake a little bit doesn't matter what you do with it It's always going by Chorus: But I ease my sorrow and cool my anger some other way Cuz Time, the great revealer, is not the healer that everyone claims Some folks hyperventilate If the sun comes up too late For them we manipulate The measure of time Spring forward, fall back Sleep schedule’s outta wack Walk home in the pitch black For their peace of mind [pre-chorus] [chorus] I'm like a little child On a one-way pony ride My darling’s by my side Things are pretty chill Wish time could stand still Never has, never will I'll bide my time until There's none left to bide [pre-chorus] [chorus] Yes I ease my sorrow and cool my anger by some other means Cuz Time, the great revealer, is a lousy healer from what I've seen

I was the new kid At your high school The "Who are you?" kid I wasn't cool, I was Losing the game when you came to my rescue You were sixteen Going on twenty-one Bit of a drama queen Whole lotta fun, it was the Fall of oh nine, I spent it trying to impress you You were the light around my shadow You were the air under my feet I knew the truth would be hard to handle I wanted you to see Sitting beside you On the quad grass A little breakthrough When I made you laugh and Once in a while a look in your eye inspired me You wrote me haikus I wrote you paragraphs I said I love you That was the epitaph that Ruined our fun by jumping the gun so you fired me You were the light around my shadow You were the air under my feet I knew the truth would be hard to handle I wanted you to see The beautiful in me Oh, the planets and the stars And matters of the heart They don't always align But oh, the thunder and the rain The memory of the pain Stay with you all the time It's twenty sixteen I'm doing okay You live in Red Bluff I live in Green Bay when Out of the blue this letter from you finds me You say in high school I was pretty rad You didn't see it then You wish you had. Well the trouble with love is all the above, don't remind me. You were the light around my shadow You were the air under my feet And now you think you can stoke the embers You were the light around my shadow You were the honey in my tea Some things I'd just rather not remember I wanted you to see It wasn't up to me

Josie's in a rush Sitting in a crowded bus She's gathering her hair up Putting on her makeup Some people look away They are a little dismayed The things that people show you As long as they don't know you Chorus: It's alright, do your thing Don't worry what people think Those who judge don't matter Those who matter do not judge They get to her stop She gathers her things and gets off Her sweetie's there to meet her He's just about to greet her When she says: I'm tired of being broke Living with my folks, eegad! No keys in my pocket No deed in my wallet Her banes and her woes The stains on her clothes Her debts and her demons They came out to meet him Saying "Hey buddy, howd'ya like her now?" Chorus Bridge: The look in his eyes Full of fear and surprise Tears ruin her makeup Now here comes the breakup Your life is a mess And I don't need the stress You gotta lotta guts though We're not giving up, no And baby if you must know I've got my problems too Chorus

She eats lunch at her desk today Like she did yesterday Sips her tea, looks outside All the people going by She's got no plans tonight Well, that's alright Her friends are all out of town They never call anyhow She’ll swing by Trader Joe's Wearing her office clothes Maybe have a little chat If a cashier is up for that Frozen dinner, glass of wine Netflix to the finish line Until she tucks herself Into bed Chorus: When the road you’re on Is a lonely one Sitting in the red cafe On a lazy Saturday People come and people go No one she ever knows Standing at the sunlit door A guy she's seen before Looks at her, looks away A trace smile on his face He walks in, gets in line A shiver runs down her spine What's he like? Hard to say Looks deceive anyway Wondering what to say to him Should their eyes meet again As he sets down his coffee cup Next to hers Chorus: When the road you’re on Is a lonely one Speak your mind and then You might find a friend Bridge: Who feels you, believes you Is eager to hear you To coax you back into the light So show them you see them Your foibles, your freedom They're waiting, they're waiting Come here often? All the time. 'Love the music. Love the vibe. I've seen you before. Down at the record store. I can’t believe the sky is clear How long you been living here I just arrived a year ago How do you like it? I don't know What's yer story, what's yer deal Everybody keep it real Lift the veil, lose the mask Don't be living in the past It could sparkle, it could shine It could be a waste of time Although there's only way to know Chorus

I was once a young man In spite of myself Playing drums in a band From Anaheim to San Rafael Long days and sweet nights The music made us feel alright Hmmm, way back when I think about it now and then I met a woman in the Mission one night She was wilder than me We drove to Ocean Beach Went skinny dipping in the sea Good times but bad luck Our clothes got locked inside her truck! Hmmm way back when I think about it now and then I was woken in the middle of the night When my telephone rang I picked up and when I heard My Dad's voice on the line I knew right there and then I'd never see my mom again Hmmm far away I think about her everyday Well now, I'm getting on My hair's turning grey It's all gonna slow down, Memories start to fade Some say to have a good day They throw their sad thoughts all away Mmmm mmmm, ironclad, these memories I have Mmmm mmmm, good and bad, these memories I have Mmmm mmmm funny sad, these memories I have

Lovers of the world Lovers of the broken world Lovers of the world Lovers of the world Lovers of the broken world Take a look around Touch it with your fingers Wallow in the sound Let your senses linger The colors in the sky Stop and admire them The wings you desire Go out and find them Lovers of the world Lovers of the broken world Lovers of the world Lovers of the world Lovers of the broken world Cold-hearted fools Who never think of others They plunder the Earth Look at how she suffers Do not be afraid We can defend her We will find a way To make her better Together They pretend everything's alright But they know, they know, they know 'Cuz they don't wanna sacrifice They know, they know They pretend that everything's alright But they know, they know, they know And guess who's gonna pay the price They know, they know, they know They know! Lovers of the world Lovers of the world Lovers of the world The broken world Lovers of the world Lovers of the world Lovers of the world The broken world

You were waiting tables In Santa Cruz With your dusty notebooks And your busted muse I walked in one evening Guitar in hand Just a another dreamer Playing in the band I got through with soundcheck Half an hour to doors I got swept up in that Lazy smile of yours Changing my guitar string When I heard you say "Can I get you something?" I just want to ride the... Waves of green and swirls of blue You're circling me I'm circling you Waves of blue and swirls of green As long this is not a dream I wonder if you’d spend some time with me? So we found each other Every night Made love and laughter 'Til morning light And it feels like magic When I look in your eyes Can it be so tragic If differences arise? You like New York City New York City’s home I’m a happy rambler I just like to roam I’m a people person Every party’s fun You’re the quiet type you’re Better one on one You think you want children Maybe two or three That’s sure sounds like a Lotta work to me You like Chance the Rapper I like Chrissie Hynde But it doesn’t matter We still want to ride the… Waves of green and swirls of blue You’re changing me I’m changing you Waves of blue and swirls of green As long this is not a dream I wonder if you’d spend your life with me? All those little problems Those seeds of doubt When you love somebody You work them out When two good people Share a life The blessings and the burdens Seem to multiply Now we have kiddos Our folks are slowing down I still play my music When the time allows Some nights it’s macaroni Or lentil soup Life would feel demanding Were it not for you There are those who like us There are those who don’t There are those who like us At each other’s throats We still love each other Like water loves the sea But let me tell you, brother We no longer need the… Waves of blue and swirls of green We long for something more serene A gentle turquoise mountain stream As long as this is not dream I wonder if you’d sit right here with me

Saturday morning I lay in my bed All warm and cozy My toes to my head No trepidation Nowhere to be A lucky sensation All over me La la la la la la I looked out my window At the city below So many people Places to go I got out my notebook My beat up guitar My innocent outlook I strummed a few bars La la la la la la La la la la la la Chorus: When the sky is falling down And there's trouble all around I find the reasons why It's good to be alive I walk to the corner To get me a snack I talk to my neighbors All the way back A ripe avocado A cool summer breeze An eloquent novel I'm easy to please Chorus Turn up the music Dance with a friend Love it or lose it Stay 'til the end The planet's in danger She's clean out of time I wanna save her The pleasure is mine Chorus

I did all the dishes And the laundry too I made a banana smoothie Just for you You took out the garbage And you mopped the floor We never used to work this hard before Show me your honey do list I'll show you mine But let's not be busy all the time We cleaned out the gutters And watered the plants And murdered the bathroom counter, covered in ants Now I'll do the shopping While you fix the stove Why don't we kick back in that humble abode Show me your honey do list I'll show you mine Let's not be busy all the time Here on my honey do list My favorite line Cuddle your body next to mine I did all the dishes And the laundry too I made a banana smoothie I love how you honey do me I made a banana smoothie Just for you
