spent on rainy days

i wish i saved up for rainy days,
cause they're the hardest to be dry.
i got no self-control;
i'm always begging into telephones.
i bought a little from my brother's friend;
well, just to get me by.
i don't
trust his cut.
the effect's never as high as the markup.
i think i'll print it in the personals
that i'm looking for a match.
someone to light me up;
someone to burn the proof of the things that i've done.
each day there are hours
i skip like a stone;
i just
crawl in a bag;
i'm gonna live my life like somebody's shadow.
i know i'm lazy with the little things;
i mean i never held a door.
but i still loved you more.
than anyone since or before.
you're always saying that i owe you one;
well let's consolidate this debt.
get on a payment plan;
i'll pay you compliments, you can still treat me bad.
but now it's easy, getting easier
to leave you and this town behind.
i'll do some
travelling.
once i'm gone tell all our friends you got even.
i'm held like an object.
and then set aside.
and i'm back
on the shelf;
locked in the drawer;
i'm mint in the box but you'd still
you'd sell me for cost, wouldn't you?
(i'll be anything)
the cord of a parachute.
(i'll be anything)
the blanket on top of you.
(i'll be anything)
the window you're looking through.
(i'll be anything)
the cord of a parachute.
the cord of a parachute.

all eyes on the calendar,
another year i claim
of total indifference.
to hear the days pile up
with decisions to be made;
i'm sure all of
them were wrong.
into this song,
i send myself;
and with these drinks,
i plan to collapse and forget.
this wasted year.
these wasted years.
devoted friends
they disappear and
i'm sorry about the phone call,
and needing you;
some decisions you don't make.
i guess it's just like breathing
and not wanting to;
there are some things you can't fake.
yeah, there are some things you can't fake.
well i guess that it's typical
to cling to memories you'll never get back again.
and to sort through old photographs
of a summer long ago;
or a friend that you used to know.
and there below
his frozen face
where you wrote the name
and that ancient date
that ancient date and
you can't believe
he's really gone
when all that's left is a fucking song.
i'm sorry about the phone call
and waking you.
i know that it is late.
but thank you for talking,
cause i needed to.
yeah, some things just can't wait.

messenger bird's song
05:57
|
|||
|
the kitchen is cold,
but the coffee is warm.
and the sun's coming up.
the day has just begun
and you're already bored.
bored of cheering me up;
bored of calming me down;
bored of drying my eyes;
but there once was a time
when you were the one.
you were the blue of the sky.
you came after the storm.
you were the switch on the wall,
in the dark of the hall;
i'm still fumbling for.
cause i'm lost in the black.
i don't know where i am.
i have my arms stretched out in front.
and i'm calling your name
just as loud as i can.
and i know there's words that we will
never
speak.
and the questions can't be answered
easily.
but i want it to be easy so:
nod your head if the plans have changed.
shake it, love, if they've stayed the same.
smile at me and i will stay.
start to cry and i'll go away.
just please;
don't leave me guessing.
so you made me come
then you sent me away
like a messenger bird,
so i circled the earth,
blown away in the wind,
but i always returned.
with some new little song;
some sad story to tell
of a brief love affair
with a girl i compared
to you and she failed.
you said you don't want me to beg.
then you said get down on your knees.
cause you knew that i would.
if i do any good
satisfying your needs.
and i know all about those things we cannot speak.
just so you know
well
they don't bother me.
so you don't have to be worried,
just
nod your head if the plans have changed.
shake it, love, if they've stayed the same.
smile at me and i will stay.
start to cry and i'll go away.
just please.
don't keep me waiting.
just
nod your head if your mind's been changed.
shake it, love, if some hope remains.
just
say the word and of course i'll stay.
roll your eyes and i'll go away.
just please
don't leave me guessing;
just please
don't keep me waiting.
