Shine 05:44
lyrics

lift off but i watch you dive back into your armor now into the light that can take you if you understand what it’s all about i come down the road to your doctor’s house and then i stay awhile i’m gone but you come back into your armor now into short light that comes alive when you are all around i could drown on the road to your mother’s house and then she’d stay awhile sometimes i crawl back into light sometimes i crawl back into night you come take me to the dark but you can’t follow through they gawk take the doctor for the medicine he wanted for you it’s hard to take izzy’s life when she’s unsure sometimes i crawl back into light sometimes i crawl back into night then the stars really shine the stars really shine sometimes i crawl back into light sometimes i crawl back into night then the stars really shine the stars really shine

i’ve been woken up shaking thinking of you jen i wasn’t thinking like me again i was thinking like them in the heat through the garden gate i think i saw you underneath the shapes i’m not being lazy i just broke my head selling it yesterday to a man in bed i believe in carnation and it keeps me fed i take a lot to take to you just to break my head you know so if you want me now i really think you’d like me if you want me now i really think you’d like me i’ve been talking to you jen breaking both my arms it looks just like diane underneath the gun i think sitting here does me good but not the way you want if i could be back home again i don’t think i would you know if you want me now i really think you’d like me if you want me now i really think you like me i really think you i really think you i was thinking about you jen but not the way you want i take a lot to take to you underneath the gun

To The Dark 05:37
lyrics

adria i come breaking back in from your shore underneath you cut closer but illusions come forth all the roses crash blacker than lightning stars and the moonlight left me right beside the phone booth door all i really wanted was light so what now to the dark i’ll be seeing you you really got a heart adria I come broken back in to your arms but i kept it with me holding it just too tight all i really wanted was light so what now to the dark i’ll be seeing you i’m really going now well good night i’m sleeping on madison arms beneath the clouds all I really wanted was light so what baby to the dark I’ll be seeing you you really got a lot well goodnight i’ll wake up then I disappear arms beneath the sky yeah yeah yeah yeah
