Phone Call From God

I saw you staring out the window
waiting on an angel in the dark
time passed so slowly that you couldn't
hear the whispers in your heart
Mama's in the kitchen runnin' round like crazy
Papa's in bed complaining bout' his life
and I am in my bedroom doing card trick for nobody
but I get satisfaction fooling myself each time
I need somewhere to put all my love
I need someone I can rely on
I'm waiting on a phone call from God
She wraps her arms all around me
I saw you wishing for a lover
a family, a child, a wife right by your side
let's let loose the horses from the stable
and watch as all our consciousness dies
Grandpa's in the study making sense of all the past
Grandma's making coffee to kill the time we have
and I am sitting waiting, anticipate the end
for every death is a new chance to be reborn again
I need somewhere to put all my love
I need someone I can rely on
I'm waiting on a phone call from God
She wraps her arms all around me
I'm waiting on a phone call from God
But the line's just been disconnected

Hiding Place

Come on run away I can be your hiding place
We can find a way to take it back to the good old days
Good intentions never been so indecisive I should lie
I'm stuck drooling on my pillow like a dog after the fight
Come on run away we can pave
a small trail across these years in this endless maze
I'm here sketching possibilities of where we'll end in time
these rugged edges are a blessing that I never seem to find
I see two lovers eyes way up in the moonlit sky
I see an empty heart locked inside an empty chest
I feel all my regrets in every single little breath
I sense the end is near but don't write me off just yet
Come on run away I just need to hear you say
do you rely on faith or plan it all out consciously
there's some revisions to our story that are made up in my mind
do you share all of these dreams that consist of you and I
I see two lovers eyes way up in the moonlit sky
I see an empty heart locked inside an empty chest
I feel all my regrets in every single little breath
I sense the end is near but don't write me off just yet
Words drop like bombs come out harder than I thought
Who are you to say "fuck off" when I'm the only one you've got
Come on run away I can be your hiding place
We can find a way to take it back to the good old days
I see two lovers eyes way up in the moonlit sky
I see an empty heart locked inside an empty chest
I feel all my regrets in every single little breath
I sense the end is near but don't write me off just yet

The Man

Can I pour my heart out
there’s some thoughts that need to be told
I’ve been hiding behind a smile
and drinking to forget my woes
These last years that have gone by
seems that somebody else took control
I’ve got an angel on my shoulder
as the devil tickles my throat
See, I’m not afraid of dying
I’m not afraid of what’s in store
and I don’t chase adrenaline
jump off cliffs to get my fill
I got a strange connection to sadness
one that I just can’t kill
I’ll have the world in my palms and the woman I love
but burn it and throw it behind
Cuz I’m the man when I’m feeling high
and I’m damned when I lose my mind
I’m a million different shades of the same damn color
but i just can’t decide
I’ve got dreams to take me away
to fill the gaps in my heart that i’ve dug
I’ve got so many things to say
is my tongue too confident for love
and I thrive in the weirdest space
enough is never enough
and I don’t care if I burn out
cuz I’ll burn out bright doing what I love
Cuz I’m the man when I’m feeling high
and I’m damned when I lose my mind
I’m a million different shades of the same damn color
but i just can’t decide
and I’m not saying that I don’t love you, no I’m not
and I’m not saying I wanna leave you no I’m not
and I’m not saying I think I could do better no I’m not
I’m just saying that I’m one troubled kind of guy
and this life’s gonna be one roller coaster ride
I’ll trip and I’ll fall maybe I’ll survive
gonna figure it out in the twilight
Can I pour my heart out
there’s some thoughts that need to be told
I’ve been hiding behind a smile
and drinking to forget my woes
Cuz I’m the man when I’m feeling high
and I’m damned when I lose my mind
I’m a million different shades of the same damn color
but i just can’t decide

Do you hear those bells ringing’
do you see that garden of Eden
Where the clouds seem to look like heaven
undisturbed and oh so precious
Where every word is a new blessing
makes you wonder makes you question
what it is that lingers
in the tips of all your fingers
I don’t know if anybody is every gonna love somebody like I love you
Do you feel my hand clingin’
onto you and all your being
as I walz with no direction
into every imperfection
Watching stars die with a reason
and take their last breath with a vengeance
I don’t know if anybody is every gonna love somebody like I love you
And if we catch that perfect angle
let’s tackle it and tangle it up
into our little fable
a story for the ages
I wanna know it better
what it means to be together
cuz’ all I know is that feeling
I get when I am dreaming about you
I don’t know if anybody is every gonna love somebody like I love you
