Expecting

there you stood
on the edge of your feather
expecting to fly
while i laughed
i wondered whether
i could wave goodbye
knowin' that you'd gone
by the summer it was healing
we had said goodbye
all the years
we'd spent with feeling
ended with a cry
babe, ended with a cry

To Fly

i tried so hard to stand
as i stumbled
and fell to the ground
so hard to laugh as i fumbled
and reached for the love i found
knowin' it was gone
if i never lived without you
now you know i'd die
if i never said i loved you
now you know i'd try
babe, now you know i'd try
babe

(Neil Young)

Our

first went wrong is hard to find
we’re paralyzed, we apologize
our hell is a good life
last went wrong, where's my prize under the lights
can we call it in?
we'll be on the road
can we stop?
when we stop
my back will turn your face towards the fence
what i thought it was it isn’t now

all this weight is honest worse
we’re moderate
we modernize 'til our hell is a good life
all we know is to forget how to do right
colouring in the black hole
can we stop?
when we stop my hands will shake
my eyes will burn
my throat will ache
watching you turn from me towards your friends

Hell

what i thought it was it isn’t now
what i thought it was it isn't
punishment to stall what is done
what i thought was in this is missing out
what i thought it was it isn’t now

there’s a pattern in the system
there’s a bullet in the gun
that’s why i tried to save you
but it can't be done
it can't be done

Sadness Like Water, Raining Down

RAINING DOWN
RAINING DOWN
RAINING DOWN
DOWN
DOWN

It's

never know but nothing less
couldn't see that i have guessed
couldn't see, couldn't stay away

i never even stopped to dream
and that id see anything
and the world is coming out so cold

oh, and it's raining again
light on your car light, bullets on tin
oh, and its raining again
open the door and pulling me in

Raining

nothing here but nothing less
cold heart is stuck in this
couldn't say the kindest words we knew

everything i tried to say but
no one listens anyway
i had to give up all that i knew

oh, and it's raining again
light on your car light, bullets on tin
oh, and its raining again
open the door and pulling me in

oh, and it's raining
raining again
oh, and it's raining
raining again

Again

nothing here but nothing less
everything we both regret
couldn't say the kindest words we knew
cause it was winter time
and we wanted some more time
and we watched the girls
try something knew

we didn't even stopped to see that
that it was breaking me and
the world is coming out so cold
what you want you couldn't get, you
couldn't wait for something less, you
had to give up everything you knew

oh, and it's raining again
light on your car light, bullets on tin
oh, and its raining again
open the door and pulling me in

sadness like water raining down
raining down, raining down, raining down

oh, and it's raining
raining again
oh, and it's raining
raining again

i'm tired
i'm tired
of fighting
fighting
for
a lost cause

Too Scared


To Jump


Too Dumb


To Fly


Lost

your sorry eyes, they cut through bone
they make it hard to leave you alone
leave you here wearing your wounds
waving your guns at somebody new

baby you're lost
baby you're lost
baby you're a lost cause

there's too many people you used to know
they see you coming they see you go
they know your secrets and you know theirs
this town is crazy, nobody cares

baby you're lost
baby you're lost
baby you're a lost cause

Cause

i'm tired of fighting
i'm tired of fighting
fighting for a lost cause

there's a place where you are going
you ain't never been before
no one left to watch your back now
no one standing at your door
that's what you thought love was for

baby you're lost
baby you're lost
baby you're a lost cause

i'm tired of fighting
i'm tired of fighting
fighting for a lost cause
