This Is Water

I found a beach to hold me down and I can see // what little work I’ve done has got the best of me // I wrote a thousand words to tell you all about the way // I made some early plans and burnt it all down later in the day // there’s no vacation for me now // some people need a place to be let down // I’ll write again // I promise you // somebody’s sad in heaven // and you might be too // I punched the gate and broke the only hand I had // I found the coast and buried wallets in the sand // there’s no vacation for me now // some people need a place to be let down

24 Elsinore
01:33
|
|||
|
If life’s a vat // we’re trapped inside // mice in a bottle, a practical joke // not paying for this 2-4 this time // drink your way out // break down the wall // the heaven that we promised our younger selves // wasn’t heaven at all

Denim Days
01:16
|
|||
|
I swore I would not // be caught alive or dead // with these cliches around my tongue // but here we are now // and it’s neither here nor there // what people know you will become // so let’s not fret or let the truth destroy our lives // we’ve got the rest of them to make up little lies // we tell in basements, kitchens, stairwells, yeah we’ll all be fine // through all life’s seasons // through heavens and hells // we made do // you even talked to God // what did She even say? // since that day you’ve been shaking // so let the things you know become the gravity // that pulls you through the floor each night so you can see // yourself torn inside out by all life’s dime-a-dozen reoccurring dreams

Cheap Sunglasses
01:50
|
|||
|
Dragged into daylight by the hair // I knew you in another life // what made you great was how you knew // the different ways to know you’re right // and make excuses just in time // convince your family you were fine // the debts you built up on the side // a bigger picture and you tried // to make it last // to beat the house // to leave a scar // kitchen counter // broken teeth // another stranger on the lease // kitchen floor // 10-hour sleep // some passing faith to make the leap // what made you great // was how you knew // the different ways to know you’re right // dragged into daylight // cheap sunglasses on the ground // I knew you in another life // you drove the car // and burnt it out in California // convinced your family you were fine // the dashboard melted // became a different kind of glue // what made you great was how you knew // dragged out of corner bars // Cheap Sunglasses on the jukebox // I knew you in another life // you drove the car // and burnt it out in California // convinced your family you were fine // your family told me you’d be fine

Blitzer
01:34
|
|||
|
I’ve got a brand new set of blisters // and some lessons in my head // a game to some, to me a road I’ll walk // until the day I’m dead // I made good on my promise // to the rulebook that you wrote // or found on a mountain in 2000 // in the days before we spoke // 9 years in // same set of glasses day to day
I go the places that you go // I say the same things that you say // we ended up becoming good // together in the money pit // now everything’s a vodka-red for me, whatever year I’m in // nobody in here’s // above the law // there’s rules to follow // you’ll be better off // the gods are watching // and I’ll be home soon // this one’s called Rocketman and you should sing it too // red // white // red // it’s all I ever see // the world’s a million different colors that never meant that much to me // white // red // let’s play another round // I’ll sell the steel chair to the head this time, wake up tomorrow on the ground

Trent Dilfer For A Year
01:27
|
|||
|
In another year // you won’t remember who I am // but I’ll be back // holding pattern, circle and I’ll land // ‘cause I’ve been building bridges // bridges that are strong and will never burn // and I’ve been making big plans // ‘cause some stones still might turn // shower me with praise I don’t deserve // call me a hero, let me know I’m being heard // I’m going places you should know // an old child’s wonder left long ago // it’s a quiet place // for a man who thought he could be great // and now I’m lying on the couch again // trying to climb down another day // I’ll read The Good Book, I’ll study tape // I swear I’ll go to Disney World for real this time to dull the pain // send me back for another college try // or take me out of here and bring me back to life
