Underneath that waterfall she taught me what it means to crawl,
and if I ever see it all I know she has before.
Can't say I love her, and she might say the same.
But when she plays my lover she sets my soul aflame.
Oh my Jezebel, how could I ever tell?
Maybe you are the one for me.
If I ever decide that I need you by my side,
then I would steal every star and put them in your hands
just to show you what kind of man I am.
I've had ten thousand miles beneath my feet,
to New Orleans and all the way back.
But you're the only one who ever stopped me dead in my tracks.
If I ever decide that I need you by my side,
then I would steal every star and put them in your hands
just to show you what kind of man I am.

I'm lookin' in a new direction
I'm looking outside of my mind
I needed something new
And then I did find..
Oh I found you
I found you
I thought I had all I needed
But I found that I was wrong
And I never thought I'd bounce back
But not before long
Oh I found you

Well I could move the room with the tip of my finger,
cause if I thought it should it would
If I ever put the pieces back together,
you'd never know the difference at all
Yeah we're no good and we prove it everyday
but darling the truth is we're better off this way
Who's to say what is the best way
Let loose the control or it will take its toll
Be free of what was and what will be
Yeah we're no good and we prove it everyday,
but darling the truth is we're better off this way

Oh, it drifts by me without a hint that you can see
Of the uncertainty in my heart
I'm not quite me but it's a start
From another realm, from another realm
I receive you, but I can't tell where its coming from
What are you running from?
Tell me what you're trying to say
Show me what I need to know
Confide in me the secrets
That make the universe grow
Oh, it drifts by me without a hint that you can see
Of the uncertainty in my heart
I'm not quite me but it's a start
As you can see, I'm a bit of a mess
But I reach everyday for progress
For a mindful tomorrow and a better me
Oh, it drifts by me without a hint that I can see
Of the uncertainty in your heart
I'm not quite me but it's a start

Here we are, waiting for a start
Hibernating in a cave
cuttin' Z's to put my mind at ease
Risin' up to the morning sun
The jig is up it has just begun
Oh, It's just begun

Down in the street is where we were to meet
Held up in the keep of our lost and lonely minds
No we don't even know, no we don't even know
Where to go from here
We're so lost in absent minded fear
So blind to what should be clear
I wish silence wasn't all we could hear
I fear the day when I mean what I say
I know you know what I mean
I love the way that you sang every day
When they said you should sing
No we don't even know, no we don't even know
Where to go from here
We're so lost in absent minded fear
So blind to what should be clear
I wish silence wasn't all we could hear
In all honesty we both can see exactly what we need
But for now we will dwell on our love,
and forget what's in front of us
No we don't even know, no we don't even know
Where to go from here
We're so lost in absent minded fear
So blind to what should be clear
I wish silence wasn't all we could hear

Been a while since the feeling left my bones
It's here I've come to think as home
Under the loving glow of a single bulb
The righteous rise and fall
In search of what will make them whole
Just let go of your idea of the soul
For it cannot be plated in gold
I know that it's hard to comprehend
But you can't always trust that screen in your hand
It's hard to perceive that nothing is as it seems
It's just a bit of make-believe and a lot of working dreams

Whiskey, she said as she sits at the bar
Her hands wrapped in leather gloves
Her neck cocooned in a scarf
She down her drink for just a bit of relief,
but remains forever cold
The bartend sweats as he recalls a former breath,
behind a careless cigarette
Haunted by the memory of a long forgotten son,
but whatever could have been done?
It's just the world goes,
it bends and bows but never slows

He said: I'm at the end of my line,
ain't got a hook to pull me back this time.
Oh I'm sinking now, feels like I'm gonna drown.
I've got to keep my head up above the ground,
or I'll sink on down and start grazing the fire.
Ain't coming back around no more.
I've got the reaper knocking, I've got the reaper knocking at my door.
This body, it can't take this flak.
My soul no longer has to settle a score.
It's been so long since I've heard so little.
Nothing's ever sounded so sweet.
She's pulling me right back down to be with her,
the strangest thing is I feel complete.
