My house is on the horizon
You throw lightnin’
You’re tryin’ to get inside
I’m not hidin’

How would I know there was a storm comin’
If I’d never felt one before
No matter what the weatherman says
You’ll be back for more
Scratchin’ like a diamond
You burn away to nothin’
You’re askin’ how I am
Like it’s not showin’

More lightning
More fighting, more
Three strikes, I invite you in
All the while knowin’
That you’ll bring the sky inside
And make me feel small again

Waiting for morning, morning
Will you ever come
You hurt my eyes, morning
Will you ever come
Oh will you ever come

Love, which way is up
Thought our love was
Bottomless, like a well
You were so well protected, love

Waiting for morning, morning
Will you ever come
You hurt my eyes, morning
Will you ever come
Oh will you ever come

Quitting early, I lock my jewels
In a safe place beyond your reaching
Making promises I can’t keep
I’m not making no more promises
The pain I’m drawn to, the hottest fire burning
Never stays, never stays in one place
If it’s bad now things’ll change
Nothing ever stays the same

A lover is, a lover does
It was easy, I let you down
Now you don’t feel the need to trust me
Without leaving
Call me out
If you don’t believe this is how it must be

It’s so nice to be sittin’ outside
With you on my mind
Late in the day, I hitched a ride
With you on my mind, I hitched a ride

In a green park-ranger’s truck
He slowed down when he passed me up
He said, “Central Park says, it might rain.”
And I learn another stranger’s name
Late in the day

“So how do you like your job?” I said
He told me once, “It’s no good
I lock up the playgrounds, here in the park
I am the Bully of New York
Yeah I am the Bully of New York

It’s getting’ dark
So I turn the keys
The kids all think I’m bein’ mean
It’s not easy for me
Workin’ nights I’m never home
My love and I, we got divorced

There’s a path of light there, in the leaves
I am a man, down on my knees
Yeah, I am a man, down on my knees”

It’s so nice to be sittin’ outside
With you on my mind
Late in the day, I hitched a ride
With you on my mind, I hitched a ride

The sun was sinkin’ low and grey, you’re still on my mind
Late in the day, late in the day

So, I stayed up all night deciding
To tell you the truth sometimes I’m lying

The road to my love is no ordinary one
Here’s a picture of me driving

It’s hard to describe what I was feeling
The ocean cried the whole time

I dreamt of something I shouldn’t do last night
I want to I still might
I still might

Don’t go losin’ your senses you steer your own ship
And the sea around you rises

You steer your own ship
Right through my head, your arrow’s flying
Your persuasion I’ve been fighting

Maybe another time and I’m done for tonight
Here’s a picture of me driving

People think they know me
I think I know them
But we all have our little secrets
All the talking
We do in the bar
And on the way home

Drinkin’ a beer in San Francisco
With the light streaming through

The stained glass windows
Onto our faces
Home from the war
One came home too soon

We’re all the stars of our favorite show
We’re all alone when we go
Carey says a daughter
Is worth six sons
‘Cause she’s the only one
Believes he didn’t run
Starting over
She believes in him, and his demons

Do you believe there’s water in the air
Here there and everywhere
I need to do what I need to
I can’t go ‘round feeling like I’m missin’ out

It’s rainin’, I should go in
How I’m feelin’, I should go

I don’t know what I might say
Baby it’s been too long

It’s been too long
I’ve been holdin’ on
To your promise for a little lovin’

I need to do what I need to
I can’t go ‘round feelin’
Like I’m missin’ out

An afternoon in the park
We still see the city
And we hear the cars
But you’re here beside me
And it feels so good
Letting go of all we should be doing now
Just sittin’ here on the ground
More than a day in the sun
More of a light on
More than a day in the sun
More of a life than this one
Life will kick you when
You’re down and feelin’
So bad
You can’t win for losin’
I woulda thought you had
Enough shame on you
To lift your head
Let yourself feel it

That’s how I was when I was young, I
Ran with the wild ones when
Nothing was dangerous
Long and tall like my father
I am the farmer’s daughter
Put your legs in the Cadillac
Your feet up on the dash and

Let’s go out on the prairie
Drivin’, getting’ high on our free time
Let’s go out on the prairie
Drivin’

Trouble was all we had sometimes
There was nothing to do but fight it
Out on the roadside
Making up for the cash we didn’t have
Nothing to do but dance out
Along the roadside Always testing all the limits
If I were raindrops I’d walk on top
Always testing all the limits
If I were the wind, if I were the wind…

I acquired a weakness over the weekend
For a guy with a gold tattoo
His lady love singing like an angel, his lady love
I wish to be anchored as you are on the waves dancing
Flesh and blood anchored as you are
It’s already done a new tattoo
But you’re not immune and just when you’re not listening
The siren starts singing
Oh your poor heart she starts undressing
It’s already done a new tattoo

I won’t be the last one
My suitcase like a coffin
I left the door unlocked
And all the lights off
I can’t make my heart stop

‘Cause shit it feels
Just like a lie
When I need you you’re hers
Not mine
You’re not mine

I’m selfish and drunk
I’m wading through
New Orleans and sadness
Well I thought we were past this
I’ll make myself scarce while you
Care for her
Be there for her

Look in my window
Come through the looking glass
Into my chest where the Red Queen sits
On her throne working alone

Keep moving never rest
Nothing is perfect yet
What if I saw you in your fancy dress
A string of lights ‘round your bed
A book of flowers to pass the hours
