On a Rainy Day

Well i slipped out on a rainy day
My feet upon the pavement seemed to say
That there was something I’d forgot
And the buildings leaned in close
To hear the whispers of the ghosts
Of every drop
And the windows resonated
Glassy-eyed and understated
A man opened his umbrella on a step
Gazing out into the grey
Of yet another rainy day
He may forget
But it’s in the water, it’s in the wind
It’s in the way we begin to see
To see each other
And the puddles turned to rivers
I felt a shiver
At the thought that I could up and wash away
I’d be clinging to the railing
With a raincoat for a sail
Hoping to stay afloat
long enough to tell the tale
Hmm, and still the thought
That there was something I’d forgotten
And my feet came to the pavement once again
I turned myself back homeward
With the sure beat of a shown card
Just to see if you would kiss me in the rain
Kiss me in the rain
It’s in the water, it’s in the wind
It’s in the way we begin to see
It’s in the water, it’s in the wind
It’s in the way we begin to understand
There is never going to be another moment like the one at hand

Passenger Seat

Caught in a daydream
Oh, where I’m chasing my life
Staring out from the passenger seat
With the scenery flying by
I look to my left
Just to see who is at the wheel
But I never recall their face so well
As the way that it made me feel
To be…
holding off the storm clouds
singing out so loud
suspended in time
So free, captive of the headlights
Driving till the sunrise
Just to see a glimmer in your eyes
Crack in the window
Oh, how the air rumbles in
Swirling around the passenger seat
Pounding waves upon my skin
But I’m lost in a daydream
Or maybe I’m losing my mind
I can’t help but feeling more alive
Every time that I close my eyes
To be…
holding off the storm clouds
singing out so loud
suspended in time
So free, captive of the stage lights
Or maybe it was a sunrise,
Maybe just a glimmer in your eye
Lost in a daydream
Or maybe I’m losing my mind
Staring out from the passenger seat
With the scenery flying by
I look to my left
Just to see who is at the wheel
But I never recall the face so well
As the way that it made me feel

Quiet Ways
05:12

|

I’ve been sitting alone with these thoughts for so long
I don’t know what to think
Settled in, said and done, we‘ve been sailing along
But I’m starting to sink
Now the same light that wakes me
just comes to unmake the bed
the harbinger of day, comes to break it instead
And the silence resounds with things better unsaid
how I love your quiet ways
But now I’m on fire
Won’t you bring words like water?
And it’s down to the wire
You could say anything…
On these days when I’m down
The world keeps spinning around
Pulls the sea to the sand
And I’m combing the beach
For something within my reach
That’s still out of my hands
And the same light that wakes me
Just comes to unmake me
Cast on these shores by the night that forsakes me
Howl in my ears, it’s the silence that breaks me
How I love your quiet ways
But now I’m on fire
Won’t you bring words like water?
And it’s down to the wire
You could say anything…
Oh that you love me even though you don’t understand
When I’m caught in a wave, swimming for land, taking your hand
Won't you bring words like water?
You could say anything...
I’ve been sitting alone with these thoughts for so long
I don’t know what to say
Yet a world set in stone will still turn itself around
Each and every day

Standstill
05:15
|
|

|
The wind blows the other way
And it’s hard to leave or stay
And it’s harder everyday at a standstill
And the wind blows the other way
And it’s harder everyday
It’s hard to leave or stay at a standstill

Count to Ten
03:43
|
|

Strange how our time passes by
Moments like birds taking flight
Flutter in breathless suspense
Close your eyes
Count to ten
And how sweet the time when you’re near
And how sweet the sound to my ears
And how dear the sight of a friend
Close your eyes
Count to ten
Oh, catch a breath and take it in
Oh, let the world slow its spin
Oh, and the sun comes shining in
When I think about you
That I could tell you just how bright you shine
Blowing little sparks to the dark corners of my mind
The kind of light that sends shadows dancing
Close your eyes
Count to ten

Different Moon
04:18
|
|

There’s a different moon
Shining in an old, familiar room
Lighting up the walls as they talk amongst themselves
I’m dusting off a song that I’d left up on the shelf
But I don’t know what I’m looking at
Oh, I only see the silhouette
When my eyes start to strain
I let the song take the rein
Like an old, familiar friend taking me by the hand
Pull me in from the blue
Like a wave to the moon
Or just an old, familiar tune played out by the band
My heart in bloom
Beating like a drum, open like a wound
Skipping like a child, sitting in my room
Breaking like a smile
Staring at the moon
But I don’t know what I’m looking at
When I only see the silhouette
And that’s how it begins
A bit of light breaking in
Like an old familiar friend tapping on my window
Come on out, come and play
It’s a beautiful day
And if you’ve nothing to say
We can just wave hello

Holding it down to your letter
Back when you knew me better
Who I was, I can’t forget her
But it does no good to let her
Tug on my memory’s hem
Waiting on the world to end
I was tearing out the pages of your book
The narrative crumbled and the ground shook
Oceans were rising to the treeline
Yeah, you’re still going to feel it if you won’t look
Turning your head again
Waiting on the world to end
Thinking it over
Pulling the binding threads
Every story begs the same question
“How’s it going to end?”
And when it’s over
Won’t it just start again?
For all that we went through
We never knew we were waiting on the world to end
Thinking it over

Something You Don't Know
05:20

I’ll tell you something you don’t know
Truth is sometimes I get so low
When the twilight fades to blue
I need something to pull me through
And I get so low, hmmm
So show me some kind, some kind of thrill
I got nothing but time to kill
Seems like some days fall of the tracks
I need a new way to get myself back
And I get so low, hmmm
So tell me something, tell me something good
Come on, honey… you know I wish you would
Show me some kind, some kind of thrill
Cause I got nothing but time to kill
And I get so low, hmmm

The One Who Let You Down
03:25
|
|

|
Honey, can I come along with you?
I love it just to sing along with you
It’s a pretty day and we could take a ride
Rolling through the leaves on the shady side
Hmm-hm-hmm-hm-hmm hmm-hm-hm-hm-hm
Started out slow and I don’t know when
Everything started moving by so fast
But I know we got something, gonna make it last
So many people to be and now it’s pulling me apart
I would split myself in two before I’d be the one to break your heart
So honey, can I come along with you?
I love it just to be alone with you
It’s a pretty day and we could take a walk
Draw a little game with a piece of chalk
Take the afternoon just to play pretend
Make a pretty picture and jump right in
Nothing really ever seems to go as planned
But nothing else matters when you’re holding my hand
And it may seem as though I just can’t keep my feet upon the ground
But I would do most anything not to be the one who let you down
So honey, can I come along with you?
I love it just to sing along with you
It’s a pretty day and we could take a drive
I love to see you singing on the driver’s side
Hmm-hm-hmm-hm-hmm hmm-hm-hm-hm-hm
Started out slow and I don’t know when
Everything started going by so fast
But I know we got something gonna make it last
When I’m in so deep over my head I feel I’m going to drown
Well, I would swim this sea of blue not to be
The one who let you down

Daydreaming II
05:55

|
||
|
Take my hand in you hand
Honey, bring your lips to mine
I want to drink you in like wine
In the middle of the day
We may be dreaming our lives away
But when you look me in the eye
There’s nothing more to say
Losing our pretenses
Looking through a new lens
I don’t think I’ve forgotten
How to make an entrance
Take down your defenses
Let me in again
If you could see yourself the way I see you
Would you feel happier?
And know that you are enough?
If I could see myself the way you see me
Would I feel happy?
Would I feel loved?

I could listen to the guitar riffs from "in Love..." all day. This is a fitting swan song for an criminally overlooked KC band. I dare say they're Sleater-Kinney without the jagged edges. I'm so proud of what these three ladies will become.
