Too Close To The Sun
never stay in one place
I'm afraid of the shadows
and the dawn coming up
through the same windows
it's easy to find me
follow the trail of fears
all the broken relationships
stacked up through the years
and I always fly
too close to the sun
yes, I always fly
too close to the sun
try to shrink my heart
try to numb the pain
but you know it's hard sometimes
to find a vein
and I always fly
too close to the sun
yes, I always flew
too close to the sun
and I always fly
too close to the sun
yes, I always flew
too close to the sun
yes, I always flew
too close to the sun

Oceans
waves are pounding
seawall weakens
in the nighttime
feeling deepens
emotions pulling at me
caught in the middle
do you understand it
just a little
just a little
I can feel my oceans
running to you
I can feel my oceans
running to you
we can dive beneath
the silver blue
I can feel my oceans
running
running
tides are churning
water spraying
stormy shoreline
spirit praying
and I can't hold it back
dams are broken
rushing through the cracks
rain is falling
falling
I can feel my oceans
running to you
I can feel my oceans
running to you
we can dive beneath
the silver blue
I can feel my oceans
running
running
I can feel my
feel my oceans
I can feel my
feel my oceans
feel my oceans
feel my oceans
I can feel my oceans
running to you

Atmosphere
a thousand light years from home
no radio can reach me
in an orbit of my own
solitude escaping
watch the thrusters fall away
as I Rise up through the galaxy
release my earthly payload
into the arms of gravity
into the arms of gravity
the sun so far away
just another star here
as I tumble through the cold
trailing all my memories
the trajectory is blown
systems in error
as I sail through the void
way out in the atmosphere
way out in the atmosphere
i can never go back home
they wouldn’t recognize me
they would quarantine my soul
for fear of death and disease
i can’t remember my name
it’s all disappearing
i’ll just step outside this door
and let the atmosphere take me
and let the atmosphere take me
and let the atmosphere take me

Afraid of the Waves
I can't think
think of a question
let alone ask for answers
I'm on my own
and there is no
is no solution
I’m beyond disillusion
abdicate the throne
and I've got wounds
scars deep inside me
that just won't heal
how many drugs I take
I'm afraid of the waves
caught in the undertow
I'm afraid of the waves
they just won't let me go
they just won't let me go
there's no denying
I'm growing weaker
who's kidding whom
what's there to say
and you will kiss me
kiss me like Judas
for you have marked me
three times a man
and I've got wounds
scars deep inside me
that just won't heal
how many drugs I
how many drugs I take
I'm afraid of the waves
caught in the undertow
I'm afraid of the waves
they just won't let me go
they just won't let me go
I'm afraid of the waves
inside of me
I'm afraid of the waves
inside of me

Miracle

MIRACLE
walking home
drunk and empty
cracks in my soul
imprints of youth
falter all night
in larger circles
coming daylight
burning sadness
all my needs
worldly cares
pitiful
smoking out
on the backstairs
beautiful
incense burning
round my bed
magical
I remember
what they said
literal
man overboard
before he's twenty
boyhood
lost at sea
tears that fell
swept by the current
dreams sank beneath
the murky green
all my needs
worldly cares
pitiful
she comes walking
up the backstairs
beautiful
incense burning
round our bed
magical
dawn is breaking
above our heads
miracle

Under The Water

Under the Water
she's straight from the heavens
like a falling star
open my arms to catch her
her body sacred ground
I'm so happy here
I'm so happy here
so happy
right here by you
under the water
over the moon
right here by you
under the water
over the moon
sinking slowly
wrapped in each other's arms
dancing way down
across the ocean floor
I'm so happy here
so happy
right here by you
under the water
over the moon
right here by you
under the water
over the moon
strange attraction
stronger than the tides
celestial bodies
colliding in the night
right here by you
under the water
over the moon
right here by you
under the water
over the moon

I Can’t Wait
well i'm stuck here in Ohio
and it's snowing on April Fool's
sixteen, sixteen and counting
feel like the only lonely one
hurry it's not too late
sorry i just can't wait
I can't wait
to be with you
I can't wait
to be with you
thinking about all we'll do
I can't
I can’t wait
well i re-read your words
tomorrow never comes
a thousand miles
of loneliness between us
keeps my heartbeat from you
i can't wait
to be with you
I can't wait
to be with you thinking about all we'll do
I can't
I can’t wait
hurry it's not too late
sorry i just can't wait
I can't wait
to be with you
I can't wait
to be with you thinking about all we'll do
I can't
I can’t wait
don’t you know

Indian Ocean

Indian Ocean
and the anger was useless
didn't lead me anywhere
i couldn't carry that weight
across the indian ocean
i let it drop away
i've been to nowhere
it's not that far from here
below the hurt and the sadness
beneath the doubt and the fear
coming through the darkest hour
i need the healing waters
indian ocean
absolve me
indian ocean
cleanse me, anoint me
indian ocean
i'm diving, dissolving
indian ocean
dissolve me
i try to fly
at night in my dreams
high above your world
appearances deceive
coming through the darkest hour
i need the healing waters
indian ocean
absolve me
indian ocean
cleanse me, anoint me
indian ocean
i'm diving, dissolving
indian ocean
dissolve me
dissolve me
indian ocean

Orbiting Heaven
you know it's hard
to have regrets
never had a chance
in the first place
there's no such thing as do over
in this world
pulled from its mooring
it's still yesterday
it’s still yesterday
impact
a scene so rare
splashdown
soothes the burns of re-entry
damaged
a satellite spinning
forever
orbiting heaven
orbiting heaven
a lifetime of debris
the dust up
didn't think it would turn out
this way
i was the boy who cried wolf
too much
squandered a trust fund of sympathy
understanding
understanding
impact
a scene so rare
splashdown
soothes the burns of re-entry
damaged
a satellite spinning
forever
orbiting heaven
orbiting heaven
it’s still yesterday
damaged
a satellite spinning
forever
orbiting heaven
orbiting heaven
