We're Alright

In the afternoon of orange blossom days Hummingbirds rest above where we lay You say it's okay No need to fret The weight of it all Will ease as we find The balance in each Step we make Swinging back and forth In a palo verde tree The wind in the needles Hushes you asleep And even with the strain Your heart remains Don't doubt why, darlin' In time you will find We're alright We were born Like the branch to bend Not to break Reconcile and resurrect Tombstone rose Growing up and over the gates To where our children play The future wraps 'round like vines Inside these arms Darlin', will you say in our final embrace Before returning beneath the clay After all, that your heart still remains

I've been in your country everyday Crossing land and moving against the grain Overturning stones better left alone Climbing down the trees I thought I'd never sow Making love to intention with half a heart Waking up with the sun and missing the dark Everybody's got a goodbye story to tell After all we're walking through heaven and hell I thought that way could change all our clothes Find an island far off and remote Build a meaning clean and undefined I've been in your country Left to hide

I declare a ceasefire 'Cos otherwise I'd find it hard In among the crossfire Where arrows simply pierce my heart And puncture my desire To put aside the previous part Analyzing dialogue An arsenal so lightly thrown If anything's so stupid So turn around and walk away Declare that this is over And run, run, run, run, run Remember that these arrows Are only sticks and sharpened stones They can be collected As far from here as they can go Please Put down your guns Lower your weapons Oh, I declare a change of heart

I lost my keys Finder of all lost things Are they in the worn out slacks? In the pocket in the back? I lost the road Somewhere past what I know Where is your divining rod? Is it inside my bones? And I saw it in the skies In the direction of the lonely eyes And I wanted it to be A place that's meant for me Rose of Sharon Come near, I'll spit it out It's the muzzle for the mouth What do you say? I'm going my own way Oh, it is such a curse When running in reverse And I saw it in disguise In the direction of the lonely eyes And I wanted it to be A place that's meant for me, oh my my my my And I wanted not to fight With my heart but I'll fight with my fists all night And I'm sure now the record shows Or maybe just the bruise underneath my clothes Bum badum bum And I know it, and I know it, oh I know it now Bum badum bum Oh it's showing, oh it's showing, oh it's showing now And I know it Oh I know it, oh I know it, how I know it now

I've seen better days Dripping down your face We don't have to talk Let's dance For all the times you felt alone Dreaming better I see better Better days Too dumb to say goodbye Well that's some cliché shit Make me wanna cry Just know that every time I look in your eye I see better I see better, better days Try to remember that you can't forget Down with history Up with your head For sweet tomorrow She never fell from grace We might still know sorrow But we got better days I seen better ways Some won't believe But I don't need much more than faith For all the times you felt alone Dreaming better Dreaming better Better ways Too dumb to say goodbye Now that's some give up shit Make me wanna cry Just know that every time I look in your eye I see better I see better, better days Try to remember that you can't forget Down with his story Up with your head For sweet tomorrow She never fell from grace We might still know sorrow But we got better days

I took a little journey to the unknown And I come back changed I can feel it in my bones I fucked with the forces that our eyes can't see Now the darkness got a hold on me Holy darkness got a hold on me How long, baby, have I been away? Oh, it feels like ages though you say it's only days There ain't language for the things I've seen, yeah And the truth is stranger than my own worst dreams The truth is stranger than all my dreams Holy darkness got a hold on me I have seen what the darkness does Say goodbye to who I was I ain't never been away so long Don't look back, them days are gone Follow me into the endless night I can bring your fears to life Show me yours and I'll show you mine Meet me in the woods tonight

Today You were far away And I Didn't ask you why What could I say I was far away You just walked away And I just watched you What could I say How close am I To losing you Tonight You just close your eyes And I just watch you Slip away How close am I To losing you Hey, are you awake Yeah I'm right here Well can I ask you About today How close am I To losing you How close am I To losing

What will become of the truth when we keep it in Things we don't remember when they ask us when We did the things that we learned we shouldn't do again What wasn't learned from mistakes We will make them Maybe this is my heart and Maybe it is yours Burns away the eyes peering in our doors If I want to leave, I will Stand on my feet, I do Only takes these words you never believe are true I'm never gonna chase something It's a total waste running After what they take in hundreds Look at what they praise - nothing Oh, we go where we don't know the way Fire meets fire, we run And it's all the same Oh, we go where we don't know the way
