Get To You 05:11
lost and gone, to bring my love to you so long far away from the love I choose i was down but not confused by the sound of the ocean between me and you oh i should know which voice to choose i should know how to get to you Chorus: I should know how to get to you I should know how to get to you I stepped in to an ocean deep and wide It was akin to looking in where I usually hide On my skin felt like I just might die So I swim in an ocean of all the salt that burns my eyes Oh I should know which voice to choose My should heart know how to get to you

you want to know but you can’t know whether you stay and when you got to go when life ends you know what you can   behind the window of your soul love and freedom two parts in the whole searching for truth attached to the body your in   thank you for having me when destiny came to you in my name a light for the couple you were then growing now like a headlight on a train   what used to be good now is my crime what is right changes in time making heaven or hell so akin feeling retched but the only way that this life might be my own so every day i don the straight jacket you see that i've got on anything you choose tied up like a fool what you call your freedom free is just a word that means you don't know what you might become what you feel happen deep inside when you don't see me still you have sight do i just say it till you see? between our hearts hangs a chord connecting our love with nary a word if ever you need to find me you have the ability

Friends 04:37
When things fall apart you can simplify It'll calm you down Looking at component parts with fresh eyes You can get around You wanna see the whole thing now But you atomize We'll see your feet back on the ground Yes it's nice to have you hear I need someone to be around Turn again to my friends Like a new home with the same address Once again to my friends For simple words like no and yes Turn again to my friends For a quiet room where I can get some rest Come on rest your head When things fall apart don't you watch em die It'll break your heart What began as beautiful may seem a lie As it falls apart Beauty of a flower Won't fade away

Underslept and thrown away My mind the compactor Inside my head today like this old tractor It won't stay this way I'm the common factor The mine field today a fire disaster All I know I don't want this sorrow i ask for help Don't rely only on the self-examined Life alone I know there's so much more Don't come cheap Anything with that much love immediately repeats Cut up in the tractor beam will it heal with a plaster All the most disturbing dreams just desserts and laughter Everyone is a balance beam don't look down just ask her Do you hate that about me? finish reading the chapter Do you want some more look straight and ask her Does she do it alone? does she rely on some other home better remedy? What you got in the cabinet there you wanna share it with me? Yes I will share it with you anytime that you wander through my home Don't come cheap

Sophia 03:06

Boy 04:45
A song for a boy sing out for the good Sing for the good boy he brings you to see Anything you bring to the boy Springs to life in his new humanity Round your cares his hand will curl As he now sees into your world The path you walk together will forever ring   He hears one clear voice, One with your boys, One in the joy to find a friend In the good boy attend rising in One good voice, Be one with your boy, One in the joy to meet the friend In the good boy you attend inside of him A song for a boy sing out for the good Sing for the good boy he brings you to see Each song brings a different view Mimicking and preparing you man to be   The song and the good boy blessed to bring to each the other’s best Your gossamer intuition leading him   He hears one clear voice, He is one good boy … Benjamin   Before you knew if he would sing along Sang for him a familiar song trustingly A song for a boy before he has words Beautiful melody he has heard magically   Round your cares his hand will curl As he now sees into your world The path you walk together will forever ring   He hears one clear voice, One with your boys, One in the joy to find a friend In the good boy attend inside of him

Soldier 02:55
I am a good patriot I fight your wars I march as straight as the ones who marched before I am a good soldier I know what’s right There are still guns out there that rattle in the night Can you hear em they rattle in the night Yes I fear em they rattle in the night I fought this war for you in some foreign land I left the war behind but they sent me back again Everything feels special with you as it should Coming home to you makes me feel so good I wanna make you feel so good Is it alright that I don’t feel so good You knew me as the paper boy who brought you the news As the bartender any booze you choose I am a good father or so I’m told I’m just an American boy tryin to grow old Trying to grow old Tryin to grow old is it alright Trying to grow old
