California Dreaming

All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be save and warm if I was in LA
California dreaming on a winters day
Stepped into a church I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees andI pretended to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold he knows I'm gonna stay
California dreaming on a winter's day
We will make up our minds
In california, you and I
We'll be just fine here
Don't worry about the past
We'll be just fine here
We're never coming back
All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
If I didn't tell her, I could leave today
California dreaming on a winter's day

The Older We Get

With our hearts set on nothing, we've got a lot of love to make to get us there
With a little good intention and a whole lot of acting like we care
(we know we're wrong but we don't care)
Another home to call home
Another fight to fight fair
A brick thrown in your path could start a war before you even know it's there
The older we get, the better we used to be
If you're coming or you're leaving me, I'll be right here
The older we get, the better we used to be
If you're coming or you're leaving me, I'll be right here
If you're coming or you're leaving me, I'm here
Words don't mean nothin' it's the song that keeps you moving
On and on until there's something getting underneath your skin
Singing just what you're thinking
Singing what you're thinking
Singing just what you're thinking
The older we get, the better we used to be
If you're coming or you're leaving me, I'll be right here
The older we get, the better we used to be
If you're coming or you're leaving me, I'll be right here
I'll be right here
You wonder what's keeping you alive
Your words keep me alive
You're on your own and never looking back
You're all alone
We're never looking back (I'll be right here)
The older we get, the better we used to be
If you're coming or you're leaving me, I'll be right hereThe older we get, the better we used to be
If you're coming or you're leaving me, I'll be right here
If you're coming or you're leaving me, I'm here

Lyrics:
I sense excitement in the air
This season brings out such magical affairs, but they're all composed of lies. This is a secret I shouldn't have to explain.
Maybe I'll keep it. I'll never know your last name.
Like that would change anything at all
I will keep my feet on the ground
And I will sleep beneath the trees
Where I know I'm safe and sound
Is this the action of every word we waste
(We feel alright, we're so alive)
Is this the game we play for our own lives
(I've learned to keep my words at bay, my feet on the ground again. I'll keep quiet)

I don't mind giving it another try, oh
'Cause it's been a long long ride
We couldn't find a better road
Caught up in the same thing every day
You wonder if I still feel the same
But only the weather has ever changed
I know I can't complain
We don't know how to get there
But we'll still have room to grow
Did truth ever tell me anything I need to know
Maybe it's good enough
We can go where time does not exist
You can tell me anything I need to know
If I could turn the water into wine
Then why would I ever tell the truth
Floating to where I want to be
Tell me why can't I seem to ever get through to you
We don't know how to get there
But we'll still have room to grow
Did truth ever tell me anything I need to know
Maybe it's good enough
We can go where time does not exist
You can tell me anything I need to know
What did the truth ever tell me
It's time that we stand up and be free
I felt so encouraged when I was lost in my discovery
But I can't find the reason lately
Even though it sits right under me
It's there, but it's not showing up at all
We don't know how to get there
But we'll still have room to grow
Did truth ever tell me anything I need to know
Maybe it's good enough
We can go where time does not exist
And you can tell me anything I need to know

Lyrics:
shake off the dirt and pull over
don't breathe until you know everything's fine
roll up your sleeves and go wherever you're going
don't ever take their advice
I don't know what's good for me, I'm stuck in the mess I've made
I don't know what's good for me or how I got in this phase
your lips, they shake and they tremble
you don't know where you are going
you've got yourself in some trouble
more than you've ever known

Take off in one direction to where you have never been
Your path is your decision, from where your book begins
I've tried to find the world I've been waiting for
Pushed back and forth, but it doesn't matter anymore
Take off in one direction. It's getting better
You're going to find your own way
If this is your intention, darling, I've been missing out
I've tried to find the world I've been waiting for
Pushed back and forth but it doesn't matter anymore

Another one slipping away back in the ground
Colors change and move to the soud
Of words you say
Singing a melody of every day you've been around
Another one bringing you down
Leaving you out in the cold with the windows down
In the passenger seat, you speak to me
Lets get out of town
Your timing is working now, so why are you freaking out
We've been missing the poing
Feeling stranger
Acting our age and we're always safer
Wandering, singing a melody of every day we've been around
Start thinking again
You're up in the clouds with your hair in the wind
Staring back at the crowd
It's something, it's really nothing
You weren't missing out

Oh some evil spirit
oh some evil this way comes
They told me how they fear it
now they're placing it on their tongues
Oh to see it with my own eyes
Oh to see it with my own eyes
No food or water for the better part of ten months
Quietly he sat between the folds of a free trunk
Oh to see it with my own eyes

A garden of love, your face on a cloud
The list goes on and on and on and on
You wish you had it all
You've been at home asleep on your own
Up in your bed 'cause there's no place to go
The list goes on
Is this what you're begging for
(oooooooo) roll on
It's all in your head
That's what they tell you to get you to be where the want you to be
Is this where you want to be
I think its enough, just bottle it up
Just get on your feet with the beat in touch
Your head's in a rush
You're right where you want to be
Roll on

Maybe everyone's to blame
'cause I can't fall in love to save
All the world or anyone else
Turn on the TV and fade
Maybe It's only me
Talk to me now
Why do you run from me
Walk up to me
Like we've never met
Break into me
I need you more than you know
Oh no, I'm under the groundTell me if you want to be
Lonely or if there should be
Someone else tell me it's me
Let's run away in the rain
Talk to me now
Why do you run from me
Walk up to me
Like we've never met
Break into me
I need you more than you know
Oh no, I'm under the ground

What Is It Good For

She stands in the center of the room and wonders just how she got so pretty so soon
But how can she pretend this story will ever end
We take it for granted and we've wasted our time here
Maybe it's worth our while
We take it for granted, you've wasted our time dear
Maybe it's worth our while
Give us a reason to save her some time
Just to keep the fire burning in her eyes
But how can she pretend this story will ever end
We take it for granted and we've wasted our time here
Maybe it's worth our while
We take it for granted, you've wasted our time dear
Maybe it's worth our while
