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

Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton

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
