I don’t think I’ve made my way
I still got my dues to pay
I’m gonna grab my own brass ring
Once I’m done with everything
I’m gonna make a list and check it off
Like a streetlamp to a moth
I didn’t take my meds today
But it really doesn’t matter anyway
Sister, I have issues
Going back a decade or two
Mister, I have issues
From doing the things that I had to do
Satellite dishes all lined up
For the cable man to hunt his prey
Paying homage to the sun
And all of the whims of the HOA
Suburbanites with their nip and tuck
And their Vineyards Vines and higher ground
While the neighborhood ice cream truck
Is selling meth to the kids in town
Sister, I have issues
Going back a decade or two
Mister, I have issues
From doing the things that I had to do
It might be beginner’s luck
But I’m taking credit anyway
I’m not one to pass the buck
But down to pass the time of day
There’s a money back guarantee
But I never saw an admission fee
I didn’t take my meds today
But it really doesn’t matter anyway
Sister, I have issues
Going back a decade or two
Mister, I have issues
From doing the things that I had to do
It feels like my soul belongs
To the company store
I’m left here wondering
What the worry’s for
Then realization, I’m the CEO
More dollars than sense
But I pay as I go
Sister, I have issues
Going back a decade or two
Mister, I have issues
From doing the things that I had to do
From doing the things that I had to do
From doing the things that I had to do
From doing the things that I had to do

Wine Stains

There’s something said
For all that’s happened before
It’s something you said
Before you walked out the door
Took the photos from the frames
Left the rug with your wine stains
Like ocean water
That never quite made it to shore
Like ocean water
That never quite made it to shore
I can see from the vineyards around me
We’re both in need of the rains
But I don’t need a sommelier to tell me
It’s just wine stains, it’s just wine stains
There’s something sad
In never turning over a stone
Like staying in
So you’re never gonna get too sunburned
It’s just a rock, when all is said and done
But even sunflowers face the sun
Like that promotion
You know deep down inside you don’t earn
Like that promotion
You know deep down inside you don’t earn
I can see from the vineyards around me
We’re both in need of the rains
But I don’t need a sommelier to tell me
It’s just wine stains, it’s just wine stains
There’s something odd
Being on the cutting room floor
Still hearing music
But not being part of the score
Like a toy that gets tossed away
Those are the games that people play
As forgiving as a
Lego on a cold, hardwood floor
As forgiving as a
Lego on a cold, hardwood floor
I can see from the vineyards around me
We’re both in need of the rains
But I don’t need a sommelier to tell me
It’s just wine stains, it’s just wine stains
It’s just wine stains, it’s just wine stains
It’s just wine stains, it’s just wine stains

Wednesday afternoon
September paints in grey
The end of summer looms
Hanging on for another day
I think I know just how it feels
Autumn breezes blow
I’ve come to learn that time will heal
Where the rivers flow
When the rivers flow
I feel like I’ve got something to do
I guess I always will
Win some and lose a few
A paradox of being still
I think I know just how it feels
Autumn breezes blow
I’ve come to learn that time will heal
Where the rivers flow
When the rivers flow
As Sunday welcomes dusk
December paints in blue
I’ve never longed for wanderlust
I longed to be by you
I hope you know just how I feel
As waters ebb and flow
I’ve come to learn that time will heal
As the rivers flow
As the rivers flow
Where the rivers flow
When the rivers flow

Because Of You

Think of my own life
And what I’ve done
I’m on the right path
Still on the run
Collecting habits
Collecting mail
Chasing rabbits
And my own tail
I know it’s gonna get better from here
I just know…
I know it’s gonna get better from here
I just know…
I’ve lived nine lives
Or so it seems
I keep inventing
The same old me
Collecting memories
Collecting songs
Chasing moments
To right my wrongs
I know it’s gonna get better from here
I just know
I know it’s gonna get better from here
I just know
Because of you
Because of you
Because of you
Because of you
This heart’s been mending
In so many ways
You are the gold
I am the glaze
Frost bit fingers
For your glove
Chasing warmth
Collecting love
I know it’s gonna get better from here
I just know
I know it’s gonna get better from here
I just know
Because of you
Because of you
Because of you
Because of you
I know it’s gonna get better from here
I just know
I know it’s gonna get better from here
I just know
Because of you
Because of you
Because of you
Because of you

Just The Same
04:17

There’s different ways to say you’re sorry
There’s different ways to stay the same
There’s different ways to tell your story
Instead you chose to sit with pain
Time will move along without you
While you’re scoring your own game
There’s different ways for dreams to come true
Instead you chose to sit with pain
I don’t need to think about it
Maybe no one’s to blame
To be the villain in your story
I thank you kindly, just the same
Just the same
And I don’t feel like I’m forgotten
Even though I really should
All our actions weren’t for nothing
If we had listened and not just heard
Careful playing with emotions
It could tarnish all your chrome
There’s different ways that you can play house
It’s not an option when you’re home
I don’t need to think about it
Maybe no one’s to blame
To be the villain in your story
I thank you kindly, just the same
I don’t need to think about it
Maybe no one’s to blame
To be the villain in your story
I thank you kindly, just the same
Just the same
Just the same
Just the same
Just the same
