GET ENOUGH
I wish the Beatles would get back together.
I’m in Texas now.
And it’s easy for me to get lonely when I love someone.

It’ll all come down in an instant.
I can feel it.
I can almost taste it.
Drag me down with the weight.
It’s a drug.
Do you get enough?

Yeah the Beatles getting back together.
Got to give the people what they want.
And I swear I can’t take it like I used to.
Come on, tell the truth.

If it all comes down to forgiveness
Can I feel it?
Can I hear you say it?
Drag me down with the weight.
It’s a drug.
I never get enough.

Even the sky looks menacing.
I stayed awake for 48 hours.
And it’s all I can do to be lonely.
Me and you.

When it all comes down to an ending
I can feel it.
I can almost save it.
Drag me down with the weight.
It’s a drug.
I never get enough.
I think I’m losing my mind.
It’s a study for a painting.

EASY
Want it to be easy
Swore we’d be better by now
Picture of your mother
In Vietnam, 1977

Something still about it
Every single day for five years straight
I got up decided
If you got it bad
I wouldn’t try to fight it

And under a pale moon
I saw the sun go down
Two thousand miles ago
Swear I would let you know when
And under a pale moon
I saw the stars come out
If I wanted to be the one
Swear I would give you something

Want it to be simple
Eyes to the light ten times
Picture of you laughing
A sign of life, 1995

And under a pale moon
I saw the sun go down
And if I wanted to be alone
Swear I would let you notice

And under a pale moon
We were the only sound
Say you’re ready but you’re never somehow
Swear I would let you down by now

Under a pale moon
High in the bible belt
Something to tell you
This could be anywhere

You’re the real thing now

Under a pale moon
Watching the fire rise up
Once in a lifetime
I could be anyone

You’re the real thing now

REMINDED
I saw the stars wrap around the room
Pull me into
Green like your eyes
Dance around the room
Blame it on the moonlight
Blame it on the old times
How could I resist you?
How could I not try?

Did I make it hurt?
Did I make it hard?
Saw the other night
Keep it blush
Treat me like I’m your only one

I saw the stars wrap around the room
Pull me into
Sure as your eyes
Dance around the room
Don’t need to be reminded of the last time I saw you
How could I resist you?
How could I not try?
Did I make it hurt?
Did I make it hard?
Saw the other night
Keep it blush
Treat me like I’m your only one
Saw the stars

TOM PETTY
Heard your brother got married
Haven’t heard from him lately
And I can picture him in a pickup truck blaring Tom Petty
Living some kind of dream that I haven’t had since high school
Saw the sun, watched it fading, saw it fade
Heard your mother in the kitchen saying grace

I know I can get angry
Seven perfect notes descending
And I can picture her in a passed-down dress for the summer wedding
Living some kind of dream I’ve never had
Saw the sun, saw it fading, watched it fade
Heard your mother in the kitchen saying grace

BAD WITH TIME

You’re too cool for LA
I am bad with time
I didn’t mean what I said
But I wanted you to think I did
I am Jackie O
I am Patti Smith
When you wanted it

You’re too cool for LA
I am bad with time
I didn’t mean what I said
But I wanted you, or thought I did

I am Jackie O
I am Patti Smith
I am Stevie Nicks
When you wanted it bad

Must have been
Must have been
On a desert highway
Riding Harley-Davidsons

Must have been
Must have been
Over some horizon
Riding off

And I am Jackie O
I am Patti Smith
I am Stevie Nicks
I am what you got
Or I’m what you get
Oh I’m everything
You’re too cool for LA

EVERYTHING I HAD

Got an apartment
Three doors down where I used to live
We’re not getting any better
We could move to Los Angeles
Know I hated it when everybody did
I’m not getting any younger
Everything I had, I want it back

Got to get used to it
Yeah I find that there’s no use talking to you
Saw the line in the movement
Wasn’t mine yet
Everything I had, I want it back

Tongue-tied lightning
All that might have been
Throwing 5 in a cab
You and me in the back
5 in a cab
You and me
Everything I had, I want it back

SINGING

I heard them singing in a parking lot Sunday morning
Thunder and lightning in a parking lot Sunday morning
Waiting for my head to roll

I heard them singing but you don’t care about it
I heard them singing in a parking lot Sunday morning
Waiting for my head to roll

I don’t want to fight
I just want to drive home
Waiting for my head to roll

BAD GIRL

Called your mother on her birthday
goddamn couldn't think of things to say
Knowing nothing but a big change god damn

Washed it off on a suitcase
And I partied down til the sun sets
Walkin off on a freeway
Oh, what would happen if I stayed

Saw it all on a tv
Keeping score with the one you get
wrote it all on a subway last night I couldn’t fall asleep
I told you I was nervous
You wanted more for the hell of it
Thought we could make a big scene
Oh, What would happen if I stayed
Being the bad girl

Tearing up an apartment
Making all that you couldn’t get
Driving down to New Orleans
Spending all of my cigarettes
Falling off into silence
Knowing all I could say to you
I wanted to fight it
I wanted to let it go
Tearing up an apartment
Making all that you couldn’t get
Driving down to New Orleans
Spending all of my cigarettes
Being the bad girl

KAREN O

I saw Karen O live
In a basement in Brooklyn
Had a dream that night
That you came back to me
My father called three times

I stayed up all night
Walked across the bridge
Saw the city come down
Watched you fade into it
I saw a fine young man
In a two-thousand-dollar suit
Do his best Bob Dylan
For a crowded room

I saw Karen O live
In a basement in Brooklyn
Had a dream that night
How it should’ve been

My father called three times
But my mailbox is full of his messages
Though I doubt he knows it

And I don’t want to leave Manhattan
So I climb the stairs
To get to your apartment

EVERYWHERE

It was a long time coming
Thought about retracing your steps already
Too late to call back
And I’m still hoping for another ending
I caught you turning my way

And I made bad moves baby
Back when I was happy
And I thought of you
Almost every time
I was holding on to all our endings
I caught you turning my way

Girl you’re everywhere

I tried to give back to you
I tried to make sense of it
Wasn’t about to give it up
I was counting cars 
To make my way back home to you baby
I caught you turning my way

Girl you’re everywhere

And you got a little bit of your eyes from me
Passed out, waiting for the light to carry
And did I tell you how it ended?
No I can’t calm down
You’re everywhere
Girl you’re everywhere

ONCE IN A WHILE

I was drunk, I was broke
And a coward, I still am
Walking the town after midnight
With the moon

You were cold, you were tired
But you still love rock n’ roll
Up a two-lane highway
Tell me who
I’ve been to heaven

Once in a while in the moonlight
Once in a while when I’m up at night
Once in a while it can be what you want it to be

I was drunk, I was lying
I can always take it farther
Moving just like my father
’Cross the room
I’ve been to heaven

Once in a while in the moonlight
Once in a while when I’m up at night
Once in a while it can be what you want it to be

Every time you kiss her
Does it feel like missing home?
Every time you kiss her
Does it feel like missing--my god

Once in a while in the moonlight
Once in a while when I’m up at night
Once in a while it can be what you want it to be

FINDING OUT

Got you in my car
From the backseat, saw the city
Must have been my fault
Yeah I know I started it

Ain’t it like you said?
I was waiting on an answer
Lying on the bed
Yeah I know I started it
But I’m just finding out
Why you do it to me

Got you in my arms hiding
When you’re silent
I can tell that you got what you wanted
Or you thought you did
Yeah I know I started it
But I’m just finding out

Do you feel like dancing, baby?
I just wanted the best
On my own again
And oh I know I started it
I know I started it
But I’m just finding out
Why you do it to me

SEASONS

Know you’re right
Call the kids to watch it on TV
Golden light 
Dying in the back of a taxi cab

And if it’s more than five dollars
I could try to catch you after it
Been in trouble
For doing things the way I like

Dividing the light into seasons
Keeping your hand on my back
Don’t it feel like real love?

And your apartment
Kind enough to let you after it
Wished you well but
I’ve been trying all my life

Dividing the light into seasons
Swearing you're better than that
Don’t it feel like real love?

I didn’t ask for any of it
Always wanted everything

Dividing the light into seasons
Swearing you're wanting it back
Don’t it feel like everything?

REAL THING

Got it bad, well I still do
See it rise in your chest lying next you
I’ve heard rumors I saw light upon the lake
I watched you falling, saw it on your face

Are you the real thing? 
Honey I’m the real thing
Are you the real thing?
Darling I’m the real thing 
I’ll be alright

Well it's you, got it real, got it bad
High on a mountaintop
Everything that I had
I watched you falling, saw it fade

Are you the real thing? 
Honey I’m the real thing
Are you the real thing? 
Darling I’m the real thing 
I’ll be alright

Waiting in the back of the room
I was holding on to you
Waiting in the back of the room
I was holding on to all in my head
Waiting in the back of the room 
I was holding on to you
Watched it falling, saw it go

Are you the real thing? 
Honey I’m the real thing
Are you the real thing? 
Darling I’m the real thing
I’ll be alright

COLORS

Somewhere in the deep part of somewhere
You live there
Look out for me
The colors caught my eyes again
Is it what you wanted? Is it?

———————

TERRIFIED

Well the first time that i left
Had me yelling at a telephone
Had me counting out the steps
To your hotel bedroom

I was holding up my end
When you couldn’t hold your head up
Lying in the back of that white Sprinter van.

I was scared, I was terrified
But there’s something right about the feeling
Something that I couldn’t name
Oh it’s never gunna change

And I didn’t like that song
til i heard you sing along to it
Crying cause I can’t hold on to everything

And I’m scared, and I’m terrified
Oh there’s something right about the feeling
Something that I couldn’t name
Oh it’s never gunna change

Laying low with the radio on
When you were gone, bury it all on back.

Oh there’s something right about the feeling
Something I couldn’t name
Oh there’s something that keeps me needing it
Oh it’s never gunna change
Something right about the feeling
Oh it’s never gunna change

DISCOTHEQUE
it was plastic discotheque I got it all wrong nothing left
it was nothing but a california fire
and I stayed in kept in place It was crazy just what you said
and i heard it from across the interstate
but I know this is gunna bring you down
yeah I know this is gunna bring you down
I was waiting car downtown
I had all this planned around
the three years between you and me and you and me
and it was nothing but radios and currents
beneath those rows
it was burning from across the Palisades
but I know this is gunna bring you down
yeah I know this is gunna bring you down
did you come back for payback too?
did you come back for payback too?
did you come back for payback too?
did you come back for payback too?

SLOW RISE II
go ahead and look me in the eye  
tell me everything will be alright
i’m lonely too
never really understood that fire
you should know by now that I’m a liar
Tired of feeling I was the only one
slow rise
alright
I’m with you right now, I’m with you tonight
I’m coming home. 
I can say the sun just the same
never really wanted you to stay
Tired of feeling I was the only one
slow rise
alright
I’m with you right now, I’m with you tonight
I’m coming home

YOUNG
I was almost always leavin
looking for the reasons
bedsides hospital daylight
and I go up the the southern mountains
down the 405 I’m coming
tell me that you don’t deserve this
I was young I was young I was your one
In a west coast bible
caught on kodachrome
I’ll be another crawl my way back
I was young I was young I wasn’t ever young
It was next to nothing
no there’s never been
oh don’t you ever notice
I was young I was young I was your one

JOHNSON CITY
It was a dark-eyed mid-summer idle
In a bedroom red-letter bible
And there is a cool breeze knocking at the window
Of a coal-black cadillac screaming down the west coast
So just come home with me tonight
Just come home with me tonight

You are the one thing that I’m afraid of
On our fourth bottle of wine
And is it too soon to ask forgiveness?
You did the best you could
Just come home with me tonight
Just come home with me tonight

The sun don’t go down in Johnson City
The sun don’t go down in Johnson City
The sun don’t go down in Johnson City
The sun don’t go down in Johnson City
So just come home with me tonight
Just come home with me tonight

I hope you find love
I hope you get to travel some
I lost my mind
I lost my mind
Just come home with me tonight
Just come home with me tonight
 

HOMES
Well my father
He split the ground
Snow fell down
Felt it all come down
On such a blue night

Well hold me tight
I’ll be running from you
I’ll be running from you
I’ll be running for home

Well my brother
He’s gone forever
With a daughter on his side
And i gave my best advice
On such a blue night

Well hold me tight
I’ll be running from you
I’ll be running from you
I’ll be running for home

RECORDS
I heard those records too
got a crate of old 45s
I walked to your brother’s house in spring

You won’t see me at night
you’re afraid of what I become
I met your father once

I tried to love you right
I tried to love you right

I wrote those nothing songs
had a number when i was one
I talked for hours on the phone

I tried to love you right
I tried to love you right
I was on your side
I tried to love you right
I tried to love you right

APARTMENTS
So burn your doors and windows
It’s coming to meet you in the morning
Wide awake when you were sleeping
All this time alone

I had a dream about you
I had a dream

I got a new apartment
You said you like to wait till evening
Wide awake when you were sleeping
All this time alone

I had a dream about you
I had a dream

I had a dream about you
I had a dream

BABY BLUE
Even though you’re baby blue
You still can’t reach the sky
Heaven knows that you’re looking to
But the sky still won’t move
Forget about everything

Even though the ground you made was gold
Still don’t shine too bright by your hands
They made it worse
But the sky still won’t move
Forget about everything
Forget about o, I am losing
Oh, I am losing you. Forget about.
But the ground still won’t move
Forget about everything

I’VE BEEN
I’ve been
I’ve been on my way back
Got you crying about anything but me
I’ve been
I’ve been baby darling
Got you crying about you
Crying about you
anything but me
I’ve been
I’ve been every evening
Got you crying about you
Crying about you
Crying about you
Four in the morning
I could get used to this
Sun hiding witnesses
I could get used to this
Got you crying about you
Crying about you
Crying about you

UNDERNEATH
Is this it?
I swear there was more that you left me with
Give it time
Couldn’t just tell me that you’re mine
Just tell me that you’re mine

Are we kind?
I was up til the sunrise
I don’t know why
Couldn’t just tell you that you’re mine
just tell you that you’re mine
Just tell you that you’re mine

Underneath it all
Underneath it all
Going to hide from you
Going to hide from you
Going to hide from you
Going to hide from you

———————————————————

NYC

I was packing my bags
like you want it, like you begged for it
I was losing my mind
when you wanted me most

oh baby I've been to New York City
oh baby I've been you
tell me how you want it
tell me how you want it

In the back, in my bed
kept you hiding
let you pay for it
I was losing my mind
you were fighting my name

oh baby I've been to New York City
oh baby I've been you
tell me how you want it

It ain't such a strange thing
I've been you

tell me how you want it

MONSTER MOON

I always thought
I could get you back
but I left you on the phone crying,
"I don't want to be alone yet"

I thought I had
a two year plan
got so drunk on Monday night
just talking a suitcase

babe I got a secret
I'm a monster
come January
I'll be your moon

I thought I was
god's only son
I was carrying crosses
stuck on downtown busses

babe I got a secret
I'm a monster
come January
I'll be your moon

you were upstairs waiting
on a phone call
in a sure old house that you grew up in
but I'm a monster
and I'll be your moon

I always thought I could get you back
I'm a monster
