Get up
oh get up
you might find yourself in despair
regardless of how you got there
oh, but get up
mmm get up
Fed up
oh I bet you’re fed up
From the bloated budgets of bigger things
shoving them in what remains
you might be
fed up
oh fed up
mmm but ya gotta get up
Get up
ah-ha, you may have finally had enough,
but ya gotta get up
mmmmmmm, you might wanna tell ‘em to let ya up,
but you gotta get up
on yer own
fer now
for now
because if you can’t find the stable footing now
you’ll never get it anywhere you can be found
so get up
mmmm get up
you know you gotta get up
oooooh get up

Holding Patterns

She was always into something new
There was nothing, nothing you could do
Rumble strips to keep her at bay
Maybe one day she’ll be able to say
Cuz she was holding on to
She was holding on tooOOO
She was holding on too
She was holding on to her truth
Back to the places your from
Search the roads for old, old bread crumbs
Hometowns and homes never made
All the things they were trying to say
While they were holding on to
they were holding on to
they were holding on tooo
they were holding on to their truth
Judgement day, Saint Peter’s gate
better hurry up, hurry up and wait
a list of all the things you’ve done wrong
that list is 8 miles long
cuz you were holding on to
you were holding on too
you were holding on toooo
you were holding on to your truth
holding patterns
holding patterns
holding patterns
holding patterns
cuz he was holding on to her truth
cuz they were holding on to their truth
cuz you were holding on to your truth
cuz I was holding on to my truth

Had a nickname for them to put into the phone in mind
But couldn’t place it right away in time
As a kid, it comes with a permanent address
But to me, that’s never what it meant
Probably didn’t know till they were gone
I wanted to call them home
To have a family, no doubt just me and them
But I go back and forth on the idea of children
Yet we could bring a lot of good into what we will find and what we’ve already known
/ what we’ve always known
I wanted to call them home
Oh, I wanted to call them home
To be sure she wanted it to
I would let her do what she do
Exhaust all the options and come back to roost
I never questioned my being in love
But I should have kept asking if us could be enough
Us could be enough
Us could be enough
Us is enough
Us is enough
To call somebody home
To call somebody home
To call somebody home

Morning's Coming

I don’t mind
if the morning’s come too soon
I don’t mind
if we gotta move, we gotta move
Don’t mind
even if we got to
(and we got to)
get moving
in the morning
get moving
in the morning
I don’t care
that you might toss’n’turn all the night
I don’t care
that all the covers have left me for prettier things
Don’t care
even wearing nothing
(and it’s nothing)
get moving
in the morning
I don’t mind
don’t mind
don’t mind
a good morning
good morning
good morning

I took what I could get
The Smile on your face
I took what was there
made it beautiful
I’ll wait
She wants to burn it down
inside , late at night - I’ll let the village burn
One day she’ll want to calllll meeee home
(a proper name)
but IIIIIIIIII want more
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I want more
(of youuuuuu)
I think youuuuu
I think youuuuuu want more too

I can make my fingers give me an F
I can make my fingers give me an A
I can move from failing to passing grade
I’ve been known to
( Known too)
I can move these arms till they cannot move anymore
I can tire these fingers on strings that need some changing chords
I can move so many things
But I can’t move you
I can pick my nose from time to time
It’s sort of unsightly, but it’s mine
I can pick the loser at the horse race,
It’s sort of unlucky, you’ll make that face
(We lost! ..
.. Again!)
I can pick up after myself most of the time
Most tours need 18 hours till everything’s in line
I can pick a lock, that’s a lie
MacGuyver or Bond should give it a try
I can pick away at all these unrelenting thoughts
But I
Can’t get you
To pick me too
To Pick me too
Ohhh, to pick me too

I ain’t gonna fight to keep you here
I’m sure you’re not used to that kind of move
I’m sure most ppl will try to snare
the wildness from your eyes
You were always more than enough (C)
You are always more than enough
You are
enough
I ain’t gonna find where you been
all the things you buried, can stay hidden
yet, if you wanna let me in we can both explore
we can find out some better moves and probably a whole lot more
you were always more than enough (C)
you were always more than enough
you
were
always - enough
you uuuuuuuuuuuu are enough
I ain’t gonna fight to keep you here
I ain’t gonna fight to keep you here
Lord, I hope you stayyyyy
Until our dying days
But
I ain’t gonna fight to keep ya here
to keep ya heeeeeere
keep ya heeeeeere
keep ya heeeEEEEEre
keep ya here

There are
other things
in the dark

You might find
your mark
in the dark
in the dark
That I can’t seeeeee
in my mind

My mind
playing tricks on me
Darker still, my love
Darker still, my love
That you can’t seee
that you can’t seee
i can’t reeeeach
I caaaaan’t reach
There might be
other things
in the dark
in the dark
You might find
what you need
