Cool and overcast at the end of July
The party empties out into the late, late night
The lull and the breeze and the dim, dim lights - that’s for me
In the maritime area, close to the shore
No one knows what we came here for
Hopefully nothing, I know the score - let it be
The greatest band in the world never played a note
Somehow I found myself at every show
Far enough away from the airplanes and the cars
The party filters in between the ocean and the stars
Waiting for the mystery music to start…
The greatest band in the world never made a sound
And I bought all their records anyhow

She don’t wanna hear a single word I say
You know I’m not too fond of talking, so I kinda like it that way
And she don’t go for songs that just chatter on, chatter on
Her preferences lean towards some kinda sound you don’t gotta follow
You just let it flow, let it flow, you know?
She won’t know the words to a single song I sing
So when she starts to sing along, it’s like a whole new thing
And this kind of sound right now that you’re hearing, yeah
Well, that’s not what she’s about at all.
No, but you know she’ll get a look in her eye
when things just start to fade out and really CREEP
Yeah, just the way the rain starts to fall

So Hard To Show Love

Every time I see you, you just shake me up
Sweep me up in your arms til I fight my way out
I can’t understand it, it’s no surprise to me
What can I do to see like you see?
Contrarian consciousness wired like something
That keeps me away from it all
I may seem possessed, it’s so hard to express
It’s so hard to show love, so hard to show love, so hard to show love
Early in the morning or in the mid-afternoon
You know where I’ll be, always waiting for you
When you least expect it, the light will turn on
And the tables will turn, I’ll be singing your song
Contrarian consciousness wired like something
That keeps me away from it all
I may seem possessed, it’s so hard to express
It’s so hard to show love, so hard to show love, so hard to show love

Pressing On (Dos)

The wind blew down everyone around
Stole the soul it could’ve borrowed
Overcast minds, swelled and unkind
Drawn in by magnetic sorrow
Wonder if I dare leave every care
In a mislabeled box of my letters
I dare to be willfully naive
I hope my smile won’t upset her
There’s open ground, and it’s always around
There’s another sound turning us around
Tomorrow is the question, the feeling is now
Something else, pressing on somehow
This is an intervention for your misconceptions
Believing everyone you hear
A serenade for every mistake
It doesn't matter since you’re here
