Sea Change lyrics

Something better than this
Someplace I'd like to go
To let all I've learned
Tell me what I know
About the kind of life
I never thought I'd live
Till the ugly truth
Showed me what it did

Let it pass on the side of the road
What a friend could tell me now

On a borrowed dime
In different light
You might see what
The other side looks like
In a random room
Behind an iron door
Kick an empty can

put your hands on the wheel
let the golden age begin
let the window down
feel the moonlight on your skin
let the desert wind cool your aching head
let the weight of the world drift away instead

these days i barely get by
i dont even try

its a treacherous road with a desolated view
there's distant lights but here they're far and few
and the sun dont shine even when its day

I've seen the end of the day come too soon
Not a lot to say, not a lot to do
You played the game, you owe nothing to yourself
Rest a day, for tomorrow you can't tell
You can't tell

I've seen the end of the day come too late
Seen the love you had turning into hate
Had to act like I didn't even care
But I did so I got stranded standing there
Standing there

It's nothing that I haven't seen before

Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone.
They make it hard to leave you alone.
Leave you here wearinyour wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new.

Baby you're a lost
Baby you're a lost
Baby you're a lost cause.

There's too many people you used to know
They see you coming they see you go.
They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy, but nobody cares.

Baby you're a lost

Well it’s all in your mind

It’s all in your mind
Well it’s all in your mind
And I wanted to be

I wanted to be
Wanted to be your good friend

Well I cannot
believe
You got a devil up your sleeve
And he’s talking to me
And I
cannot believe

And I wanted to be
I wanted to be your good friend

You're all scared and stiff
A sick stolen gift

Time wears away
All the pleasures of the day
All the treasures you could hold
Days turn to sand
Losing strength in every hand
They can't hold you anymore

Already dead to me now
'Coz it feels like I'm watching something die

Love looks away
In the harsh light of the day
On the edge of nothing more
Days fade to black
In the light of what they lack
Nothing's measured by what it needs

Go to sleep
We're so tired now
Altogether in a snake pit of souls
New days
To throw your chains away
To try to hang your hopes on the wind

Little one
Just a little way
Today all we need is waiting

Night rise
Like the evening prize
In a turnstile backwards we fly
Cold bones
Tied together by
Black ropes we pulled from a swing

Little one
Just a little way
Today all of the dreams are waking

LOST CAUSE

sorry eyes
cut to the bone
make it hard
to leave u alone
leave u here
wearin your wounds
wavin your guns at somebody new

baby i'm a lost baby i'm a lost baby i'm a lost cause
theres too many people
u used to know
they see u comin
they see u go
they know your secrets
you know theres
this town is crazy
no body cares

Go to sleep
We're so tired now
Altogether in a snake pit of souls
New days
To throw your chains away
To try to hang your hopes on the wind

Little one
Just a little way
Today all we need is waiting

Night rise
Like the evening prize
In a turnstile backwards we fly
Cold bones
Tied together by
Black ropes we pulled from a swing

Little one
Just a little way
Today all of the dreams are waking

I've seen the end of the day
come too soon
Not a lot to say, not a lot to do
You played the game, you
owe nothing to yourself
Rest a day, for tomorrow you can't tell
You
can't tell

I've seen the end of the day come too late
Seen the love
you had turning into hate
Had to act like I didn't even care
But I did
so I got stranded standing there
Standing there

It's nothing that I

Just like a paper tiger
Torn apart by idle hands
Through the helter skelter morning
Fix yourself while you still can
No more ashes to ashes
No more cinders from the sky
All the laws of creation
Tell a dead man how to die

O deserts down below us
And storms up above
Like a stray dog gone defective
Like a paper tiger in the sun

Looking through a broken diamond
To make the past what it should be

Something better than this
Someplace I'd like to go
To let all I've learned
Tell me what I know
About the kind of life
I never thought I'd live
Till the ugly truth
Showed me what it did

Let it pass on the side of the road
What a friend could tell me now

On a borrowed dime
In different light
You might see what
The other side looks like
In a random room
Behind an iron door
Kick an empty can
