By the Way

Living out any way I can
Knowing that you won’t always understand
And if you don’t that is alright
This life can not always go how we like
By the way, this I know
That I’ll love you, all the way
Some things can’t be bought or sold
It’s a kind of lover’s tale, very, very old
That is made up of many things
One thing I’d like to do, is keep hearing you sing
By the way, this I know
That I’ll love you, all the way
Wicked powers blossom in the night
And I open up the door and get into a fight
And I battle steady there for hours
Noticing when I’m done, I’ve trampled all the flowers
By the way, this I know
That I’ll love you, all the way
By the way, this I know
That I’ll love you, all the way

Feeling Fine

Give me feel, give me sight
Let me heal, make it right
Give it all, 'cos I can
Let me yield and let me stand
Feeling full
I’m feeling fine
Feeling loving on my mind
Give me peace, when there is war
Let me rest, when I am sore
Give me friendship, food and wine
Give me sun and let me shine
Feeling full
I’m feeling fine
Feeling loving on my mind
In a long fall
I saw the signs
Sat on my floor
Then I rose like time
Feeling full
I’m feeling fine
Feeling loving on my mind
Keep this heartbeat amplified
Let this love be realized

Younger Days
03:31
|

|
Grew up in town
Family was around
Back-wood playground
Still remember the sounds and now
Oh, my, I can’t go back
I can not go home
My younger days are over
In dreams I flew
To me they were true
My smallest view
Only grew and grew
Oh, my, I can’t go back
I can not go home
My younger days are over
Oh, my, I can’t go back
I can not go home
My younger days are over
Looking back how I’ve flown
So far away from that home
Out from the love, on my own
Oh, my, I can’t go back
I can not go home
My younger days are over
Oh, my, I can’t go back
I can not go home
My younger days are over
Oh, my, I can’t go back
I can not go home
My younger days are over
Oh, my, I can’t go back
I can not go home
My younger days are over

Opening Night
03:31
|
|||
|
Bye in the morning
Bye at night
Bye in the evening, bye’s on my mind
Flying in airplanes
Drinking in bars
Sleeping in bedrooms that are never ours
Let the strings go, fall through the sky
Come down quick like blinds in the night
You’re feeling angry
You want to fight
You want to restore love to its former height
Dream of the future
Think of the past
Wondering how it’s all going to last
Then some opening bars start to sound
Forget our bodies and move all around
When we come back down from the highs
Say our hellos, stall our goodbyes

Rockland

I’m carless on Rockland
Shackled to your song
The new year is in the flames
Of a far-away dawn
So sing me to reason
With your fatal lullaby
I no longer sleep
And I’ve forgotten how to try
I’m in love at 5am
I miss the way you draw
The damage that one day can do
To what you thought was law
I love you in the alleyway
I love you in the wrong
Wrong turns to trouble
In the ashes of your song
So hold me with impulse
See all the way through
The street creaked, I lost my cool
I need to talk to you
Am I the joke in the choke hold
Of your secret box?
The bottom of the bottle drawer
I’m sitting on the rocks
Body slides
I’m losing control
You won’t
Bend with the fold
And day breaks on
Keep doing what we’re told
Butterflies
Let them win control
You won’t
Bend with the fold
And day breaks on
I choose what I hold

Wild Rose

You’re laying down over there
While I’m trying not to despair
Feeling my thinking going dark
I go out and get lost inside my heart
Listening to your words but I’m focused on your eyes
Down there you lay and I’m watching for the rise
We all have to go through it
Rattling but silent like the mist
In this fog I am looking for a light
Hoping that everything will work out right
Waiting on the words but I’m focused on the time
Down there you lay and I’m counting on the lines
It’s a long way down
And I don’t want to go
But it’s not going slow
It’s a long way down
And I see how it goes
And I want this love to be a wild rose
We are better off knowing ourselves
We are better off coming out our shells
Attitude it is a real thing
A difference between pain and suffering
Going through the answers and coming to the binds
Down we all lay in the end ourselves we find
It’s a long way down
And I don’t want to go
But it’s not gonna slow
It’s a long way down
And I see how it goes
And I want this love to be a wild rose

Jobie's Song
03:35

You were holding up a smile
It was dripping with the rain
Shoulders square to the window
You were framed in the pane
It was dry where I stood
And I wished you were the same
Fate sitting on the paper
And you read it like a game
Rocks in the river
Couldn’t stop the flow
I see you darling
Even when I don’t
Oh child, I’m broken hearted
And filled with holes
The look you left on the window
Never goes
When I woke in the aisle
You were past the door
Sun beamed in denial
Veiling what you wore
Oh, couldn’t lie where I stood
And I couldn’t find the floor
Oh, give me more time, give me more
Rocks in the river
Couldn’t stop the flow
I see you darling
Even when I don’t
Oh child, I’m broken hearted
And filled with holes
The look you left on the window
Never goes
Here’s something I can tell ya
I'll be there on the bright side of the moon
When you’re not doing well
Look up, I’m the silence coming through
If you need to yell
I’ll be playing in the echo of the room
Ringing like bells

Beautiful my favourite track at the moment. ❤️

When (in 2040 maybe) an indie rom-com set in 2024 uses this song for the moment when two rugged protagonists come back together in an uneasy but comfortable third act reunion, we will all nod our heads and say "Yes. This is what it was to be alive in 2024--we were so beautiful and so rugged and we loved this song."
