Lyrics
Girl of My Dreams
It seems we haven't spoke for centuries.
You've been gone so long girl of my dreams.
You went deep into that jungle beyond all the trees.
Did you find the place you're supposed to be?
Could you only get there without me?
Was my reflection to impossible to even see?
How sad for me to have to make this path alone.
What's left of me when all the pretty parts are gone?
I guess I'll just be like I used to be.
Only now with dreams devolved to be
Yellow memories of who I once hoped we could be.
How sad for me to have to make this path alone.
What's left of me when all the pretty parts are gone?
I guess I'll just be like I used to be.
Only now with dreams devolved to be
Yellow memories of who I once hoped we could be.
I Want To
They say you're mine.
But I don't really want to say your mine.
Because the minute that I say your mine.
Feels like the minute that the world stops spinning.
Cause I ain't never held on for much too long.
Can't keep a regimen up for much too long.
Can't hold a commitment down for much too long.
But I just feel like I should try a little harder this time.
And I want to tell you about the way that it feels when you stay.
Oh my heart is scared to feel this way after all I have lost.
And every dime I even stand to gain maybe might cost just as much in pain.
The Good Hurt
The last time that I felt that doubt
I couldn't really find a clear way out.
I fell down and let the hurt fall out
cause it felt so good.
It felt so good.
July Alive
This might just be our only chance.
Let's not do anything but dance
from like now til November.
Will be soon so while we're this side of June
let's just stay out til September.
You bring the weed I'll bring the juice.
We're getting farther from our youth
but never a day wiser.
Doom and gloom will eventually consume
so let's stay out til our eyes hurt.
Let's get crazy lets get insane.
We know by now how things can change.
We've seen the bolts from the aether.
We don't know what waits behind the door
so let's just dance til our feet hurt.
Our roads are bound to split in time.
You'll go your way and I'll go mine.
Some we'll forget, some we'll remember.
But here now we've got nothing written down so let's just dance til December
and then dance some more.
So come on.
Get the fire on.
My Prince
I crossed many borders hoping that I'd find
you were at the same place at the same time.
And what a lonely thing its been to travel so far knowing the only thing you'd find was your own heart
alone with its own beat sore eyes and tired feet.
I'd swallow every tongue I've spoken just to know
how I could get just one word with you,
how you just do anything that you choose
without consequences or without counter-offensives.
How could I be here just one with a plan that was for two?
Because it's easier to say I gotta go then stay and be afraid I'm gonna go the same way that I came and be the one to shame for all that I could never have attained and hide my cry cause my prince never came.
Besides, I got my own horse to ride and I got my own starry skies. Ain't got no castle to call home. But I got desert winds to roam through, alchemical dreams to come to true and magical doors to walk through.
To learn why it always seemed you (run all their minds and you run the world because you do) never could own what I could do.
Because it's easier to say I gotta go then stay and be afraid I'm gonna go the same way that I came and be the one to shame for all that I could never have attained and hide my cry cause my prince never came.
