If you come back
I'll sing "Moon River" again
"Dream A Little Dream" will be
A lullaby for you and me
I'll sing anything
You are a leaf in the wind
Following the horizon's gleam
Some bright air has
Got you chasing a dream
Do your best poet stare
Head in the clouds so you see the stars
You move me
When we sing harmony
If you come back
I'll sing "Moon River" again
"Pure Imagination", "Honeysuckle Rose"
I'll sing every song we know
I read your diary
In a postcard you sent to me
"I'm one thing
I'm only where I've been"
You've been here
You've been gone
Some bright air
let us sing another song
If you come back
I'll sing "Moon River" again
"Dream A Little Dream" will be
A lullaby for you and me
I'll sing anything
If you come back
I'll sing "Moon River" again
"Pure Imagination", mangled "La Vie En Rose"
I'll sing every song we know
You stay away too long
You stay away too long
You stay away too long
You stay away too long

Let Them In
05:13
|
|||
|
Two strangers are
knocking at your door
More unlike anything
You've seen before
Paisley jacket
Men in hair barrettes
Musical instruments
Hidden in pockets
They
Want
To live with you
They're
Here
For the interview
So open
Open
Open that door
Let them in
That door
Blasting beats
After midnight
The new sincerity is
Going alright
Gentle chaos
Are you like us?
Work ethic, very polite
Midwestern artist types
They
Have
Something to say to you
They
Think
You're really cool
So open
Open
Open that door
Let them in
That door
If you're like a
Baby chick
Peaking from the shell
Trying to see
What to bring to Show And Tell
They'll hold a mirror for you
You'll do it for them too
They'll hold a mirror for you
You'll do it for them too
So open
Open
Open that door
Let them in
That door

BB Is A They
02:23

BB is a they
It's not that complicated
Nothing to see here, folks
Nothing R-rated
One day they're going to be
They'll be a good kisser
But they're never going to be
A missus or a mister
BB
BB is a they
Tyra is a they
But don't get it twisted
The world's always been like this
Even if you missed it
If you can roll with Boy George
Without blinking an eye
Then you can comprehend
This is neither a girl nor a guy
BB
BB is a they
Tyra
Tyra is a they
I don't need no medal
Pinned to my chest
Just for giving ordinary
Common day respect
I don't wanna make this about me
Don't make it about you
Just call them fucking 'they'
It's the least you can do
Kadan is a they
Don't call them by their old name
You act as if they're different but
That person is the same
People only ask questions about gender
But I'd rather talk about Epiphone or Fender
BB
BB is a they
Tyra
Tyra is a they
Somebody you know
They're a they
Someone who you "he"-ed
Someone who I "she"-ed
They're actually a they

We Had A Moment
02:27

We had a moment
I saw it in your eyes
It happened so sudden
It caught me by surprise
I heard a laugh
I never heard you laugh
I saw someone I could hold
I smiled a smile
That lasted a while
I saw a future unfold
For me and you
We had a moment
I really felt it too
I felt a softness and
A hunger I could give to you
I laughed a laugh
I hardly laugh
As I looked in to you
You smiled a smile that lasted a while
What did it give to you?
What did it give to you?
We had a moment
But I'm not a romantic fool
Sometimes it just happens
And there's nothing for you to do
But I heard a laugh
I never heard you laugh
And I wanted to hear it more
I smiled a smile that lasted a while
And then you looked to the door
And then you were gone
What did it give to you?
What did it give to you?
What did it give to you?
What did it give to you?

Let Me Hold You
03:51
|
|||
|
You do something to me
That I can't see with my eyes
Touch me
Make me feel warm
You know I can't get enough
Like kindling to stoke the fire
I need more
I need love and I need to hear
I just want to hear you say
Let me hold you in my arms
I will love you in my arms
Let me hold you in my arms
I will love you in my arms
Well meant compliments from friends
They only go so far
Gifts given are left on the shelf
You know I love them all
But they're no help
Like kindling to stoke the fire
I need more
I need love and I need more
I just want to hear you say
Let me hold you in my arms
I will love you in my arms
Let me hold you in my arms
I will love you in my arms
Let me hold you in my arms
I will love you in my arms
Let me hold you in my arms
I will love you in my arms

Shining You On
03:57
|

|
When people tell you
They think that you're smart
What they really mean is
You agree with them
Maybe they don't even agree with you
And they're shining you on
And they're shining you on
And they're trying to
And they're trying to
Trying to shine you on
And they're trying to
And they're trying to
Trying to shine you on
When people tell you
A story where they seem
To be the victor or the victim
What they really mean is
They're trying to get you on their side
And they're shining you on
And they're shining you on
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii've
Been very naive and trusting
In my life
Wasn't born cynical
something happened in-between
Trying to hold on
To what I had
Sometimes I don't know
Why I do what I do
I'm no better than anyone
I do this too so
If you call me on it I'd admit
It wouldn't be the first time
Am I shining you on?
Am I trying to
Am I trying to
Trying to shine you
Am I trying to
Am I trying to
Trying to shine you
Am I trying to
Am I trying to
Trying to shine you
Am I trying to
Am I trying to
Trying to shine you
Am I trying to
Am I trying to
Trying to shine you

The Alpha Fem
03:06

Cali traveled the whole world over
You know she found it all the same
And the only place that scared her is
Her hometown where she had some fame
But she found her peace and quiet
With the people prone to riot
And no one called her a dead name
All the boys debating about things
They don't care about either way
Pam just sits and listens you know
She doesn't have too much to say
But when the mirror lights her heart
Her words'll blow it apart
And shine brighter than the day
The smartest person in the room
But she still cares how you do your hair
She's got all these rules about
What you is and isn't supposed to wear
But she has the balls to say
"If I thought you should change
I just wouldn't be your friend either way"
Resist it all you want
Push against it
As if you can
Resist it all you want
Push against it
Whatever man
Cuz the Alpha Fem
You know
They don't give a damn
And you ain't nothing but a man

The Sunset Show
03:02
|

|
You know a little place
Say we oughta go
To watch the sun set
Yeah, watch the show
A concrete beach
With no one around
Just jump that fence
And we'll watch the sun go down
Grab some ciders
And I'm ready to leave
Don't need to ask me twice
Or tug on my sleeve
Who's got a bald head
And thinks that sounds fun?
You're looking at em
Ooooh-wheee
Ooooh-wheee
Gonna have
Have a time
Ooooh-wheee
We spend all day
Making each other laugh
You say you're the weirdest person
At every job you had
But everything you
Makes sense to me
You're always direct
Subtly
The most obvious person
I've ever known
Just watch your eye brows
To see where the wind blows
Do I wanna join you
And watch the sunset show?
My heart over flows
Ooooh-wheee
Ooooh-wheee
Gonna have
Have a time
Ooooh-wheee
Ooooh-wheee
Ooooh-wheee
Gonna have
Have a time
Ooooh-wheee

Woke up in the middle of the night
Had a feeling something's not right
So I got out of bed
Just to clear my head
Looked out at a storm outside
It was blowing raw and blowing wild
And I stared out the window
Just a little while
A mist of dark, it dulled the night
Everything seemed fight or flight
Turning, turning
The widening rain drops
The whole world seemed shades of gray
And half my life was blown away
And the trees
Were shaking from root to top
And I'm just waiting for the wind to stop
And I'm just waiting for the wind to stop
Some people measure love by the thimble full
They're mean and selfish, hypocritical
You can't trust them all
Trust them with your trust
Good old friends will just let you go
One day: no call no show
But some
Will never give you up
Still I'm was waiting for the wind to stop
Still I'm was waiting for the wind to stop
A flash of lightning lit up all the night
For a moment everything seemed clear and bright
Reminded me it's time to say good night
Chamomile tea and double blankets
Woolen socks carry me to my bed
Not all warmth is divinely sent
But I said a prayer
Aw, what the heck
I wished you well
Yeah, all the best
I felt
As if my heart would pop
Cuz I'm still waiting for the wind to stop
Cuz I was waiting for the wind to stop
And I'm still waiting for the wind to stop
And I'm was waiting for the wind to stop
