Safe

In the mountains and the valleys
In the summer, on your porch swing
We'll pretend that we won't entertain the end
All the houses and the photos
That we bought, for a quarter
And the boat that we built when we were ten
In the walls and the borders
We'll forget about tomorrow
Lock the doors, close the blinds and walk away
From the chips on the shoulders
Of our fathers and our mothers
It's not what we wanted, but it's safe
So we worked a little harder
And we moved a little farther
From the porch that we sat on yesterday
Took the fence from our parents yard
And stuck it next to our front door
It was white, but we will get it stained
Cause we're not like the ones who raised us up
Sat us down and told us, "Son, you'll go back to where you're from."
"You'll go back to where you're frommmmmmm!"

Everything Considered

We hope that it will stick
But we cannot predict it
We will make it there, I know
Put boxes in the car
Life in a million parts
They'll come together, I know
By and large, by and large, I'm home
By and large, by and large, I'm home
Our diamond in the rough
Could be the lucky one
Might bring us back, but I don't know
By and large, by and large, I'm home
By and large, by and large, I'm home
By and large, by and large, I'm home
By and large, by and large, I'm home
And when I'm lost, I'll find my way
I'll find it, oh, I'll find it (x4)
By and large, by and large, I'm home
(And when I'm lost, I'll find my way)
By and large, by and large, I'm home
(I'll find it, oh, I'll find it)
By and large, by and large, I'm home
(And when I'm lost, I'll find my way)
By and large, by and large, I'm home
(I'll find it, oh, I'll find it)

Reruns
03:39

|
Fast asleep on the ground, watching reruns
Keep the lights on, cause we're so young
Fast asleep in the middle of the night, watching reruns
The world is turning, but we're so done
Wake in the morning, still on the ground,
We're worse off than earlier, this time around
Stay, with our eyes closed we will pray,
That things will change in a day
And now we are hoping,
Sleeping and throwing away
On New Year's Day
Wide awake watching TV from the fort
Watching doctors fix men in the war
Wide awake, lying on the floor
Switch to the news, don't know what for
Wake in the morning, still on the ground,
We're worse off than earlier, this time around
Stay, with our eyes closed we will pray,
That things will change in a day
And now we are hoping,
Sleeping and throwing away
On New Year's Day
Stay, with our eyes closed we will pray,
That things will change in a day
And now we are hoping,
Sleeping and throwing away
On New Year's Day

White River
03:52
|

|
Falling down from the branch to the water
We climbed so high that we can't see down
From the heights, from the tallest ladder
We've swam so far, we can't go back now
Falling down to the white river, honey,
Our eyes are open, but you can't see out
Looking up to the great above
And the whole worlds looking down
Going down to the white river, honey, I fall
(Down in the white river, honey)
Going down to the white river, honey, I fall
(Down in the white river, honey)
Going down to the white river, honey, I fall
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Going down to the white river, honey
Took a breath, then we broke the surface
With liquid eyes and porcelain views
Tippy toes never reach the bottom,
I've got them stretching, ready to bloom
Falling down to the white river, honey,
Our eyes are open, but you can't see out
Looking up to the great above
And the whole worlds looking down
Going down to the white river, honey, I fall
(Down in the white river, honey)
Going down to the white river, honey, I fall
(Down in the white river, honey)
Going down to the white river, honey, I fall
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Going down to the white river, honey
Now the hardest part is over, we're floating down
We were young but now we're older and figured out
That the hardest part is over, we're floating down
We were young but now we're older and figured out
That the hardest part is over, we're floating down
We were young but now we're older and figured out
That the hardest part is over, we're floating down
We were young but now we're older and figured out
Going down to the white river, honey, I fall
Going down to the white river, honey
Going down to the white river, honey
Going down to the white river, honey, I fall

Simple
04:41

I was overthinking, with thoughts in my head
How simple it is
I was over breathing, with chills down my neck
How simple it is
To stay here, right here
Inside, with you
I want to stay here, right here
Inside, with you
Dah, dah, duh duh, duh, duh
Are you close to dreaming, with pillows in bed
Try to sleep in
We'll nap in the morning, through the AM
Cause it makes sense
To stay here, right here
Inside, with you
I want to stay here, right here
Inside, with you
Dah, dah, duh duh, duh, duh
