i'll be hopping on a Greyhound
while the young kids pass the bag round honey
i'll be knocking on your door now
you've been hiding in the downtown maybe alone
oh you're walking to a sale now hopping alone
don't be losing just to fail now if you wanna go
you can follow me to hell now
if your branches left you naked alone
every time i joke you know i kid around
i'll be mapping up the pale ground
while the young kids buy the white and lose money
i'll be knocking on your head now
you've been dreaming of a downtown maybe alone

babe my favourite band is on
they play my favourite kinda song
i might be waiting for the fall
slides to summer breaks the law
of science's icy knowledge
i know not all
stumble myself to the bar
haven't drank that much at all
buy a round for all my friends
wait for the band to hit the stage again
signs that i see trawling for stolen sun
babe my favourite band is on
haven't drank that much at all
they play my favourite kinda song
i might be waiting for the fall
paid my tab i'm out the door
slides to summer breaks the law
signs that i see trawling for stolen sun
i'll fuckin kill you
for stolen sun

what words to hold when i'm alone?
somehow
doubt
size
and steep
no phone could hold me the road if i thought that i'd been cheap
don't it bring up the time
you were last in the line
i lose you
don't it bring up the time
don't it bring
get up get up get up
yeah don't it bring up the time?

there's a girl here who thinks that she knows
there's a game here we've all chose to watch it
cuz i know she's like me
you said "your boys are skating slow"
i took the bet took the bait cuz i know
i'm feeling like a cat underwater
that's not waiting to feel better
whisper "me" when it's 7-3
i'll shake you when it's 7-2
we're nothing
our motto goes: watch with me no you're not alone baby you said "watching all the Leafs games on my TV yeah I've been waiting for 20 years for them to win the Cup cuz 'so close' ain't enough and I think I'm ready."

could my gut spill my love
even for a little while
get a pebble out
would a truck stop my love
keep it later in your glove
to run napping out of love

ive been coming up all wrong
two bits cant get me a plate in toronto
my father told me how it goes
the special silver wont get shown to us
no bronze
what heart is poor? c'mon
let 'em and they'll destroy you
keep 'em out and you'll stay lost
stay locked and shown to us: no bronze
what heart is gold? c'mom
no one knows us but i know love
what heart is yours? c'mon

lines bend
surround the sun
circles in the summer
my friends attract the sun and suck it up their nose
can i write blue skies?
can i dry your eyes?
lions about you filled with the animals that play
ryan's a great guy and he plays bass in my band
can i write blue skies?
can i dry your eyes?
lying's a great time baseball eggings for the yolk
ryan's a great guy and i play bass falling down
can i write blue skies?
can i dry your eyes?

i have known mountain time
walking slow in the river
i'm gonna lie my head under the sun
i've seen your dull eyes shine
through the fog of drinking wine
and i (couldn't i?) feel alive
try knowing coming up will get you down
horizons you have seen getting closer
and the last thing in your way will touch your liver
why oh why?
i have thumbed out from nipigon
with a beard stuck to my chin
i'm goin to my town
the place where i was born
i've got friends who fuck my girlfriends
enemies who buy me beer
and i (shouldn't i?) be surprised
try knowing coming up will get you down
horizons you have seen getting closer
and the last thing in your way will send a shiver down your spine

where winners wait i don't play
i don't wait for anything but you
you wanted more than this
who would it be? who but me?
who but me on my way to health, health and happiness
spill your heart all over me
and kill your living on a lease
spill your heart all over sheets
so i can start
|

lines on the road
but know i'm ready on the 2
and i know you will
but know i'm ready for the news
and i can wait
if you wanna call me i will leave
and green, you know i'm sorry now
you know i've been away oh away
carry me you know that i'm sorry now
you know i've been away oh away
time's all gone to waste
whisper so softly on my face
i've never been loved like i love
oh you hear me now
you know i can change oh change
oh we'll wait longer now
you know there can be no one like me
no one like me
no one like me

you'll come around
hey you've been reaching to the sky
i cannot believe apologies or goodbyes
i know that everybody wants to pick up the pile
sooner or later you'll be gone for a while
mine us right
find the sky
friend of mine
don't force the times try leaning back
you notice five lost minutes i want back
old grey eyes try reading that
i got a lot to live and i know that
you sing aloud
hey you been sleeping while you drive
i cannot believe the mall is holding the prize
i know that everybody wants to start with a smile
sooner or later you'll be gone for a while
mine us right
find the sky
friend of mine
don't force the times try leaning back
you notice five lost minutes i want back
old grey eyes try reading that
you got a lot to live and i know that

could i be so happy
be so alone
could it be listless arrangement?
fog fingers in the dawn light
scare me along
settle down in the story of a boy
don't slam a slamming door babe
have any couth
brush your teeth before tomorrow
believe a lost dead hope babe unravelled in the blue
in the blue blue sky
parade a callous girl in front me
courageous lipstick babe shouldn't shouldn't sway me

just another song to send you on your way
i hope you like it i've been told that it's not great
a couple simple chords
the only kind i play
and if I'm boring you that's all you have to say
because I'm not hungry I'm just unidentified
make my living flipping burgers till I'm 65
never had a chance but now i've got a clue
ya i've got nothing if i don't have you
just another song but we can make it two
stay and sing with me and dance until your feet turn blue
another graceful movement followed by a twirl
fall right over me that would be fine cuz you're my girl
because I'm not hungry I'm just unidentified
make my living flipping burgers till I'm 65
never had a chance but now i've got a clue
ya i've got nothing if i don't have you
just another song i wrote to set the mood
i heard you like it but you hate my fucking attitude
a song of broken hearts can really take away
the atmosphere and all the kind words that you had to say
because I'm not hungry I've been unidentified
make my living flipping burgers till I'm 65
never had a chance but now i've got a clue
ya i've got nothing if i don't have you
