Nothing To Learn
Is it always a waste that he’s sometimes ok
With sitting at home and passing the day
Did you ever think that there might be a reason
Why he stares at the wall
As if he can’t see it
Sits and thinks about what he’s gonna do
Staring into the souls of the people he talks to
He’ll spend time just watching, and pausing to listen
But he’s closer to getting it, he might have a clue
In hand is a pen, a very best friend
Writing out metaphors larger than his words
But more often you’ll see him with something to read
Because what can you write when you have nothing left to learn?
Open your eyes and your heart might follow
Listen for sounds that aren’t so shallow
Don’t feed the fire, just watch it burn
Because what can you write when you have nothing to learn?
Time And Place
you have to run before you walk with any speed
see all the colours but in black and white
we’ll be together one day just wait
we’ll write a song that says just what it means
to wake the sleeping is to break into a dream
a passing fancy or a lulluby
forever young is it not real
we’ll write a song that says just what it means
somehow we’ve been singin the same song
time and place
somehow we’ve been breathing the same air
time and place
it never changes but its moving all the same
more than a picture in a photograph
i’m out of ink is it too late
we’ll write a song that says just what we mean
Quarter After Now
i dont wanna find myself
looking at the world the way you do
dont wanna find myself
lost in the way they say it works
i wanna be the one
that loses it all for nothing
and i know
i sound just like fool but thats the only way i feel alive
four seasons come and go
look around today is still a thrill
time isn’t on your watch
quarter after now is still too late
i’ve gotta be the one
that loses it all for something
and i know
i sound just like a fool but thats the only way i feel alive
pull it up from under
in your head there’s reason to believe
feel the burning thunder have a go
and run until we fall
from the height of heights and
and now our visions transform to be
what we saw before
Powerful Eye
roll up the window
and block out the lightning
turn up the love songs
not even trying
thats just the way it is they say
golden rims but what’s inside
it takes effort just to see the eyes
i will find out i will find out
forgotten colors of truth and lie
turning gray or have we forgotten why
our minds are powerfuleyes
take a step and use what your god gave you
take a step and listen to someone new
take a breath and hear the enemy too
take a step and use your powerful eyes
If Fools Are Gold And Pirates Just
tell your child after school they’ll find a job
tell them that their life can wait untill one day they retire
but who’s to say the world will still be round
live it for today and make it happen and be proud
fortunes come and go but will i still be here
somebody will somebody won’t but i’m not gonna live in fear
life is now it’s not in 20 years
i’ve got 2 hands and one guitar now let me make this clear
life is more before it’s stolen
life means more when you’ve been broken
if fools are gold and pirates just then who are we
to say that there’s a right or wrong when there’s so much that we haven’t seen
fire in the sky is burning strong
live it for today and make it happen and be proud
Can You Make It Slow Down?
(V1)
sometimes i’m ok with a solitary
feeling of determination that myself
is enough to reach the heights
that i see on the horizon
but i could never see the horizon
(V2)
but right now and lately now
a comforting and burning feeling of unrest
pulls the strings that have just appeared
it’s a new journey and it’s fresh
it’s a strong burning and it’s fresh
(CHORUS)
i’m looking for a color i’ve never seen
dreaming of things with no identity
my thoughts form a tornado and
i can’t make it slow down
can you make it slow down?
i just started spinning and i can’t make it stop
i just started spinning and lost my solid thought
(V3)
a waterfall of enticing wind
puts a mute on the past
and a map to the future
it’s a new journey and it’s fresh
it’s a strong burning and it’s fresh
(CHORUS)
i’m looking for a color i’ve never seen
dreaming of things with no identity
my thoughts form a tornado and
i can’t make it slow down
can you make it slow down?
can you make it slow down please?
can you make it slow down?
