Which Road Takes Me Home 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Everybody gets to sow a few wild oats Well I never sowed none And I’ll be damned if the thought doesn’t haunt me That I should have had more fun One can never know It’s like I held the pearl, let it slip through my fingers Like it was worthless And I know I can never go back now ‘Cause I did it on purpose But I’m missing home You’ll see that I’m messed up with you You’re my best answer to the question, still unknown Which road takes me home People wonder why it’s always a sad song Well, you write what you know I guess But there’s nothing worse than a prince in a castle Who’s always chronically depressed Putting on a show I’m the one, I’m the guy you should talk to I’m like my own little dream museum I’ve got ideas and they’re gonna change everything Just wait ‘til you see them I’ll be doing them tomorrow You’ll see that I’m messed up with you You’re my best answer to the question, still unknown Which road takes me home

Back To Winnipeg 04:03
lyrics

Here's the gun I polish everyday, When the day is slow Slow like Hemingway And the glow down in the basement Messed with the government What kind of world is this Kind of crappy anyway It's kind of crappy anyway I got a class in origami Folding big A3's 'Cause I don't really need To get a dosage of reality From an anime On a big screen plasma t.v. A big screen plasma t.v. So I say Hey, hey, hey,hey,hey Gotta feeling if i don't leave now I might be here to stay Hey, hey, hey,hey,hey That's it Back to Winnipeg This view of life is all that I can see Live from a train window At least primarily I'm rushing on to the next fantasy Put on my holy robe Get my cheque And I leave This cheque ain't make believe I got a copy of the Bushido But it's just sitting there Because it's just for show But I know that don't really matter though Because it's all a show We talk a whole lot more than we actually know That's just the way we roll

Hope 04:57
lyrics
buy track
You left without a goodbye Not a good reason why Just an hour before midnight I can't understand why you'd run I thought we were having fun I just hope it turns out alright More, I always asked you for more But how do you keep the score? And am I getting the questions right? Clear, it's never been very clear But what I can see from here Is the dark makes the stars shine bright And I remember the warm sunlight I just hope it turns out alright Can't you remember the way that it was in the start? I never believed you and me would be this far apart Truth, if I could leave here today Think I'd go right away But I guess that it's just not right I'm lost Because I can't hear your tune Please come back to me soon I'll be staying up late tonight Because I remember the warm sunlight I just hope it turns out alright Can't you remember the way that it was in the start? I never believed you and me would be this far apart I just hope it turns out alright

Loveletter 03:35
lyrics

I put my ear to the ground, tried to stop and listen But there’s something left out, there's something I'm missing We were in the back row there was holding and kissing Now I'm sucking a pepsi in the intermission But this is the path to love you say, Just rattle the windows, and go away Like a bomb going off far away It'll turn your head, but not wreck your day Because where it blows no one knows You just plant the rose and hope it grows A broken heart, a bloody nose You're just keeping me on my toes I talk a lot because I think that I know stuff I don't sleep too much but I dream like Joseph But in dreams it seems that I'm wearing handcuffs Your kiss is soft, but your touch is rough You want to be chased; you don’t want to be caught It was all for love, but now it’s all forgot And you won’t be bribed and you won’t be bought Do I make you out to be something you’re not? Because where it blows no one knows You just plant the rose and hope it grows A broken heart, a bloody nose You're just keeping me on my toes So how do I play these cards I hold? Am I getting closer or just getting old? Because the silence is just like gold - It's of the greatest worth, and hard and cold By the time I send this I might have lost it I'm enjoying my time here but I don't really fit When we stand, I'll stand, and when we sit, I'll sit But I can't say I care for it Because where it blows no one knows You just plant the rose and hope it grows A broken heart, a bloody nose You're just keeping me on my toes

The Greatest Thing (free) 05:22
lyrics

The ringing in my ears Was a clanging cymbal Just the words I had heard too many times Cause I’d seen the mountains fall into the oceans But that just left me here Gasping for life So I turned to the prophet Who fathomed all the mysteries Who never lacked in faith or charity He spoke in many tongues of men and angels But he never said anything to me I was doing what you told me to You never asked me for my point of view But I know about the Greatest Thing and that’s truth to me Now this window’s so cloudy And I can’t tell what I see Maybe shrouded in synthetic mystery Of one too many prayers In front of one too many temples You’re hiding all the truth That even you can’t see

Not Good Enough 04:07
lyrics
buy track
I saw you cry You never wanted me to wonder why And I threw my curves You wondered how I could have the nerve You pushed me down And I’m still here on the ground I showed my soul You insulated from the heat and the cold I know you feel Love’s a little less than something real And I feel you know You’re living off the bitterness that you sow And I hate those lies But look into my eyes I hope you see How much of you has been left here in me And I’ve tried to improve the way I look through your eyes I’ve tried to win you but you always change the asking price But I’ve been good and I’ve been true Not good enough for you I ran away, but I stopped To drink from a river on a mountaintop And there in my dream You were drinking from the same mountain stream But I’ve dreamed so much You’ve kept just out of touch Just out of reach But still to close to let me go where I’m free

Couldn't Get the Girl 03:25
lyrics
buy track
The nicest guy With the bluest eyes And a will to try More than getting by Money and happiness Every try, success And demanding nothing less Only one regret He could have anything in the world But he couldn’t get the girl Is it you feel free To lean on memories Just like a crutch? Is it irony? Or a tendency to think to much? I think I think too much, what will become of me? Where am I going? I get the feeling that you’re going to leave me alone out here Don’t leave me alone out here. The other day He came my way He was going to go away Without a word to say He could have anything in the world But he couldn’t get the girl

Mary Jane 04:28
lyrics

Hey, Mary Jane, can’t you stay? ‘Cause I don’t want you to leave here this way Hey, Mary Jane, why’ you crying? Do you think I’m not the one But I know we’re having so much fun Is it time to go… Mary Jane? You came to me in my sleep Promised me everything I need You made me bleed, and said you liked it And while I let you hold the gun I just joined in all the fun you had with me Mary Jane, Mary Jane I was looking to you to be the balance of my self-sufficiency I was under the false impression that we had clarity But the notion I was communicating basically Was help me! Save me! But I can see you’re no good for me. So, I guess you know, I guess it shows That I’ve found another love who loves me more. So I should go, but you’re a magnet And as I try to walk away You’re just happy to hold on and play the game Mary Jane

Throw It Away 04:18
lyrics
buy track
It’s coming from your direction And it hangs in the air like a fog And I can already hear what you’re going to say And I can see you’re offended And you wonder why we can’t talk But you made the rules and now I won’t play ‘Cause I want to throw it away I’ve heard her tune on the wind We’ve met but I don’t know her name But I know she’s in town ‘cause I saw her today She was holding my invitation And this one I don’t want to miss She’s the latest face of an ancient way And she tells me to throw it away Starts when you walk away crying Then throw yourself in for some more And you thought it was all about dying But you found out what living is for She’s holding your invitation And this one you don’t want to miss She’s the latest face of ancient way You'll be amazed what you find when you throw it away
