have you seen? have you seen?
a grayer shade of green
when you look into my eyes
do you see the disguise
oh tell me what i have to do
to find you
just tell me what i have to do
to find you
have you seen? have you seen?
a blinding shade of green
where the light can be found
when there's no one else around
oh tell me what i have to do
to find you
just tell me what i have to do
to find you
have you seen? have you seen?
a brighter shade of green
when your love comes around
when your love comes around
oh tell me what i have to do
to find you
just tell me what i have to do
to find you
oh tell me what i have to do
just tell me what i have to do
oh
have you seen have you seen
a grayer shade of green

never more sure (demo)
03:56
|
|||
|
well you think you know somebody til it hits the ground
and you think you know where you're gonna go til you're turned around
you never loved me, i was sure of it
you just loved to fill the void
with my head down and my eyes so closed
i was never more sure
but with my head down and my eyes so closed
how could i ever know
you want to love somebody so you're justified
but you refuse to take a step on the other side
you said i never loved you, you were sure of it
that i just loved to fill the void
with your head down and your eyes so closed
you were never more sure
but with your head down and your eyes so closed
how could you ever know
with my head down and my eyes so closed
i was never more sure
but with my head down and my eyes so closed
how could i ever know

|
i am a slow burn
i might take a while
i am a slow burn
i dont take this light
but if you tell me
if you hold me
just right, oh we just might
light it up
let it burn tonight
i am a slow burn
my heart gives a fight
i am a slow burn
i move in my own time
but if you want me
if you need me
we just might, oh we just might
light it up
let it burn tonight

proud (demo)

last week you stomped your spectacles on purpose
this week you ask why everything looks crooked
last week you threw out your father's timepiece
this week you ask why everyone is asleep
and you're doin things that you don't like
and its keepin you up too late at night
and you're doin things that just ain't right
you know you're not makin anyone proud
when are you gonna take care of yourself
when are you gonna stop takin the easy way out
when are you gonna take care of yourself
you know you're not makin anyone proud

there is a rhythm
there is a rhythm
we used to know
we used to know
blood of my past
i know what you did
you lost it, you lost it
blood of my past
i know why you did
you only had to survive
there is a rhythm
there is a rhythm
we used to know
we used to know
blood of my past
i know what you did
i forgive you, forgive you
blood of my past
i know why you did
but now i need the rhythm to survive
there is a rhythm
there is a rhythm
we used to know
we used to know
she spins and spins in perfect time
weaving her web to the rhythm she finds
oh they all know something
they all know something we don't
there is a rhythm
there is a rhythm
we used to know
we used to know

don't tie it up (demo)
04:05
|
|
||
|
there will be harder conversations
we never planned we'd have to share
there will be things i do that hurt you
there will be times i am aware
and the hardest part of starting
is not knowing where you'll end
how am i supposed to say this
to make you understand
if you know you can just let it go
then don't pick it up
and if you know that you can't give it all
then don't tie it up
now i've spent one too many evenings
hoping for a better day
and i know if i don't do something
nothings gonna change
the hardest part of holdin on
is opening your hands
how am i supposed to say this
to make you understand
if you know you can just let it go
then don't pick it up
and if you know that you can't give it all
then don't tie it up

pluck our love from the garden
before the winter has started
pluck our love from the garden
before the sun has departed
we'll harvest our best weeds
eat sour fruit from young trees
would we make it through the snow?
we'll never have to know
we'll never have to know
pluck our love from the garden
before the winter has started
pluck our love from the garden
before the sun has departed
i tremble at what i see
your brambles keeping you from me
no one comes near your throne
you'll never have to grow
no you'll never have to grow
pluck our love from the garden
before the winter has started
pluck our love from the garden
before the sun has departed

want what i have (demo)
03:30
|
|||
|
i remember this one time
i felt in my skin and
i looked in your eyes
i could barely keep it in
i gave you all my
love and affection
for the first time in a long time
where the hell have i been
oh and how trivial
i used to ask
how can i get what i want?
now i want what i have
now i want what i have
i've seen the future and the past
now i want what i have
i remember this one one time
we stayed out til dusk
we watched the flocks fly
those ungraceful doves
you took my hand, i
i could feel it from above
for the first time in a long time
i could feel what this was
oh and how trivial
i used to ask
how can i get what i want?
now i want what i have
now i want what i have
i've seen the future and the past
now i want what i have
