Dancing in the Air
I walk a tightrope in
High skirts and heals
Gum on my soles fire below
To see how it feels
Yeah yeah yeah
Just another day at the office
Cheers from the crowd drown the roars from lions inside
No one can tame them
But damn the best clowns have tried Hide hide hide
Just another day at the office
Some cry no and some cry yes
Live or dying here that’s anyone’s guess
I exist to take the ride
Twirling around above I see
We’re all just spinning in a tent maybe
I won’t need the net to abide
Lightweight that’s right I don’t have to come down
Even if I hit the ground
If this life is my only chance to take flight
Then I’m dancing in the air tonight
The air tonight
The air tonight
Then I’m dancing in the air tonight
The air tonight
The air tonight
Slight miss direction might scare the patrons below
I pop my umbrella keep em guessing which way I go
Oh oh no
Just another day at the office
Trills from the snare rouse magicians stealing the show
It’s all an illusion but still some people don’t know
Here we go
Just another day at the office
Some cry no and some cry yes
Live or dying here that’s anyone’s guess
I exist to take the ride
Twirling around above I see we’re all just spinning
In a tent maybe I
Don’t need the net to abide
Lightweight that’s right I don’t have to come down
Even if I hit the ground
If this life is my only chance to take flight
Then I’m dancing in the air tonight
The air tonight
The air tonight
Then I’m dancing in the air tonight
The air tonight
The air tonight
Twirling around such atmosphere
A beautiful view from here
If I never stop trying, I won’t come down
Lightweight that’s right I don’t have to come down
Even if I hit the ground
If this life is my only chance to take flight
Then I’m dancing in the air tonight
The air tonight
The air tonight
Then I’m dancing in the air tonight
The air tonight
The air tonight
If I Can’t Be With You Anymore
What if
What if I could carry on
Even after you are gone
Even if it’s raining
What if
Our demise was something good
If I somehow understood
All the years I’m gaining
I never needed anyone
Anyway
I never needed anyone
What if those were words that I could say?
We’ve had our good times sure but
What’s it all for
If I can’t be with you anymore
What If
What If you were just a fool
Leaving me you broke no rule
Just passed me over
And what if I could just erase my head?
All our time gets lost instead
I could be sober
I never needed anyone anyway
I never needed anyone
What if those were words that I could say?
We’ve had our good times sure but
What’s it all for
If I can’t be with you anymore
If I can’t be with you anymore
WANDERING BIRD
Whistling for the Birds
Well it looks like the bells are about to chime
Another raised glass for some friends of mine
They’ve got a brand-new house and a 401 K
And a mapped out plan traveled day by day
Feels like I’m still back playing with sticks and stones
Got a bruise so bad sunk into my bones
Will I ever make sense of my momma’s wise words?
I keep running my mouth whistling for the birds
Ooo ooooooo ooo ooooooo
He had hands of steal and some leather-bound boots
Walked the whole damn world walked right in my roots
Is it hard to believe you could ever just stay?
Guess the ground was too soft guess the field's too gray
Feels like I’m still back playing with sticks and stones
Got a bruise so bad sunk into my bones
Will it ever make sense all these tracks that I lay?
Still sitting here wondering why you walked away
Ooo ooooooo ooo oooooo
Ooo ooooooo ooo oooooo
Not Much Else
You wanna try to love again
Pick up the dust
Fill me with trust but I don’t know
If I can let my anger go
You wanna capture all my fears
Lighten the mood
Well not to be rude but I don’t know
Something inside I can’t unsew
The water’s too deep
The rivers too wide
The world we once knew
Like a flood with no tide
Well I’d like to be logical wouldn’t you?
It’s just there’s not much else
That you can do
You wanna take me by the hand
Whisper my name and feel no shame
But I don’t know
No words can hide the lies you show
And you wanna kiss me with your soul
Live in my heart
Wish I wasn’t so smart and in control
Then all our truths might take no toll
Cause the the waters too deep
And the rivers too wide
The world we once knew
Like a flood with no tide
Well, I’d like to be logical wouldn’t you?
It’s just there’s not much else that you can do
It’s just there’s not much else that you can do
It’s just there’s not much else that you can do
Haunt Me
I watch the corners spacing in and out
In and out
A thousand miles from the ticket booth
Where you signed up
I still remember every day how we felt
Two years now
Still breathing
Are you
Still healing?
I am too
Silhouetted visions in constant laughter
Dreams do taste so sweet when they take you there
Istill dream we’re running down 45th street
In my dreams we’re always the perfect pair
Why oh why can’t my mind stop bleeding you’re so happy
Love’s so fleeting
Haunt me no more
I check the status walls sign in and out in and out
Keep it light keep it sane
You don’t remember anymore
I’m the same
Gray T shirt blue sweater
Warm pockets feels better
Why oh why can’t my mind stop bleeding
You’re so happy love’s so fleeting
Haunt me no more
