Life Ain't Fair

Oh lord, please send me a coat
To cover up my back
When its getting cold
Oh lord, please unbind my eyes
When I look to the skies
I can't see the light
It ain't fair it starts with sin
With goodness only sinking in
When you've had enough
Oh lord, I'd be there if I could
I know now that I should
But I'm only half awake
It ain't fair it starts with sin
With goodness only sinking in
When you've had enough
Oh lord, please unpack my chest
It's filled up to my eyes
And people think I'm crying
Oh lord, I'd hate the things I do
If I could see them through
You might hate them too
It ain't fair it starts with sin
With goodness only sinking in
When you've had enough

Comfort me
I don't know why
But I feel so shy this time
In the evening when I'm on the stage
When I see those colors blaze
I'm alright
Wise men keep all their thoughts inside
O how I have tried
What does it mean when they come leaking out
Of my mouth?
In song about a man at sea
A ghost that came to me
Poured out
In the basement the band would play
And I'd get carried away
Out of sight
Beth, all my thoughts in you
The things I couldn't do
Survived
They left me waiting and put a thing in me
Which everyone could see
And I couldn't hide
Next for me, I don't know why
I felt that I could climb
Out of sight
Left ashamed that I had psyched them out
I thought I'd wait them out
And I grew wild
What does it mean that it comes leaking out?
And it drops so loud
From my mouth?

One Last Thing

Tonight, tonight
I'll celebrate my love for you
Tonight, tonight
I'm going see a promise through
All the time when I sinning
It never felt true
But I had to prove something
And I wonder if you knew
Tonight, tonight
I'm gonna lay my conscience clean
Tonight, tonight
By the light of the interstate
The rain will wash my hair
And wipe the blood from my face
When I'm standing in his arms
And I feel the lord's embrace, I say
Tonight, tonight
Don't worry about anything
Tonight, tonight
Blood and glass will seed this field
For as steady as my hand is
On the steering wheel
I know it's time to plant myself
To grow anew again
Tonight, tonight
I celebrate my love for you
Tonight, tonight
I'm going to see one last thing through
All time when I was sinning
It never felt true
Turns out I'm good for something
And I wonder if you knew

Romance Novels

Whenever cars go by I see them
From the window at the laundromat
Near the washers reading books
Trying not to go back
Everybody's got their reasons to love
And some of them aren't so bad
Everybody's got some reason to love
I wish I had
Whenever girls go by I see them
From a parked car at a shopping mall
I wish the DJ wouldn't play that song
Now I can't move at all
Everybody's got their reasons to love
And some of them aren't so bad
Everybody's got some reason to love
I wish I had
Whenever stars go by I see them
Another wish on the dust I make
But even stars can be deceiving
The gravity can pull the light astray
Everybody's got their reasons to love
And some of them aren't so bad
Everybody's got some reason to love
I wish I had
Whenever cars go by I hear them
Under blankets on the hideaway
How could heartache be a thing so small
That it just slips away?
Everybody's got their reasons to love
And some of them aren't so bad
Everybody's got some reason to love
I wish I had

Wedding White

Alone tonight dressed in wedding white
Standing there with smoke in my hair
If I had my way I'd be on that flight today
I'd be a million years away from here
The dress shop closed but opportunities arose
He ain't no millionaire, there ain't no princes around here
If I had my way I'd float with the steepest waves
I'd fill the gasping lung and let the salt melt on my tongue
If I had my way I'd push all those cards away and I'd float right down
To the bottom of the sound
If I had my way I'd be on that flight today
I'd be a million years away from here
