Salt
02:50

When you would spread your salt in the winter
the garden would suffer in the spring
Well I came up from that soil wishing that I
had sprouted a little farther from the tree.
You know I kept everything that you gave me.
I'm still carrying it all along with me -
mostly locked up in a box but I let some
poison my own little saplings.
And now for sixty-one miles at four-thirty in the morning,
all I can do is think of every mistake I've ever made,
and I just want to start over.

I'm not troubled by the storm outside
but the weighty clouds of sorrow
cast from your glistening eyes.
I long only for the key which will
unlock your former joy,
yet you say nothing.
And yet you push me away.
I'm not saying I can't help you,
I'm only saying that I don't know what you need.
So if you want to keep me guessing, fine,
I'll try everything - I'll try everything for you.
I cannot be your rudder
in seas this unfamiliar
but I can be your keel
and provide stability.
If words are insufficient to
convey complex emotion,
well just look into my eyes.
What can I do to make you smile?
I'm not saying I can't help you,
I'm only saying that I don't know what you need.
And if you want to keep me guessing, fine,
I'll try everything - I'll try everything for you.
I'm not saying I can't help you,
I'm only saying that I don't know what you need.
And if you want to keep me guessing, fine,
I'll say anything - I'll do anything for you.

Your Little Smile
02:05
|
|||
Your little smile makes me feel
like I could live forever.
It's still so hard to believe
that I made you.
And I just want to love you completely,
and always be there for you
so that you know that I do.

The Good Days
04:18
|

There, there, rest those pretty eyes.
Let them see that you're alright.
You belong in the warmth of my bed.
I promise to make you forget everything I said.
There's far too much beauty
and far too few days to seek it out,
so let's just enjoy what we have here now.
These are the good days.
Let's remember the good days.
Can we celebrate the good days?
Don't forget about, don't forget about...
The constant noise is getting to me.
I want to be loud so I can drown out everything.
I'll strum my guitar with my headphones on
and keep my eyes shut tight
and play my song.
There's far too much beauty,
don't blind yourself and drown it out.
Open your eyes and see what we have here now.
These are the good days.
Let's remember the good days.
Can we celebrate the good days?
Don't forget about, don't forget about...
There, there, rest those pretty eyes.
These are the good days.
Let them see that you're alright.
Let's remember the good days.
You belong in the warmth of my bed.
Can we celebrate the good days?
I promise to make you forget everything I said.
Don't forget about, don't forget about...

Glass Ceiling
03:49
|
|||
We put up these walls to keep you safe,
but you want to sleep outside anyway.
We showed you the trail,
you found your own way.
We gave you the rules
but you won't play the game.
You don't know what it's like to earn your existence.
Someday we'll be gone, what are you gonna do then?
You don't know what it's like, you don't understand.
Someday you'll be gone, what are we gonna do then?
Don't you run too fast, don't you jump so high.
You're gonna break our glass ceiling.
You're gonna break our class system.

Control
04:00
|
|||
Traffic lights change above dead streets,
but at least we're together.
Staring out the window - not allowed to leave,
but at least we're together.
The grocery shelves are bare,
the hospital has no beds to spare.
They called off school and work and everything,
but at least we're together.
So I'll control the things that I can.
And as for the rest, I'll learn to accept
because I know this isn't what we had planned
but at least we're together.
I try not to be hurt by the things you say,
but at least we're together.
And when you raise your voice
I pretend I'm not afraid.
Your volatility crushed my heart.
This time of closeness pushed us farther apart.
Each time you slam the door
I'm scared that's how it might stay.
But at least we're together.
So I'll control the things that I can.
And when you're pushed to the edge,
I'll clean up the mess
because I know this isn't what we had planned
but at least we're together.
So I'll control the things that I can.
And I'll hold my breath and try to repress
because I know it's nothing like we had planned
but at least we're together.
