I read somewhere
that we all have a friend
angels above us
lending helping hands
That's why I named you Michael
so you'll have my favourite one
I've asked him to help you
my boy my son
I miss those first nights
when I didn't know what to say
I just kissed your head and stroked your cheeks
those were perfect days
I remember you swaddled
with blue eyes looking up at me
that feeling you gave was calming
only new things to see

She Went Her Way

Have you heard Grace is in town
She's still gorgeous I've invited her down
But shes changed now shes had a baby
She left the dad or he left them maybe
I told her come back home get rid of the kid
Get back to the old things that she did
She stopped dancing she changed her dream
She waits tables I guess its her thing
I told her come back home get rid of the kid
Get back to the old things that she did
Have you heard Grace is in town
She's still gorgeous but she wont down

Same Blue Snow

This is the same snow that brought me here before
but it feels colder than it ever did before
This isn't where I thought i'd be
no this isn't how I want you to see me
This is the smile that brought me here
I've stopped putting warmth in it it's all but disappeared
This is how it feels when you change your mind
This is how to run away leave everything behind

It's good you saw me leaving
you know that I hate goodbyes
It's good you saw me leaving
I didn't want to make everyone cry
Yeah we made it here
no we're not alone
I cant say that i'm surprised
but this still doesn't feel like home
It's good you saw me leaving
I can't say i'm having fun
It's good you saw me leaving
I've never been happier with anyone
Now he's getting big
and he doesn't like being alone
hes finally starting to sleep
I wish I could give him a home

That Old Piano
02:42
|

|
It was Saturday and the band was playing
that old piano was in the air
He'd been there since 5 waiting
but he knew she'd come around
Grace was cool and seemed all knowing
there was no worry in her mind
She came in the only thing moving
She controlled herself
They were all intact
laying
They looked in the eyes with their hearts pounding
and he said who could ask for more
Back inside they went racing
holding hands almost a pair
They were all intact
laying

Home in Chicago
03:42

When I get tired
I start seeing things
old memories
I remember when mom
went to work saying goodbye
ill see you again tonight
Until I was twelve
old Jack would stay
his house just two away
We'd do my chores
we'd dust fold clothes and read
he had books on everything
When I would sleep
he'd play the radio
old jazz Bird and Satchmo
He treated me well
he listen when i talked and sang
he helped me with everything
He had a way
he knew how to find
what was on your mind
He helped me decide
I wasn't pissed at my dad
I just wanted him to come back home
To Chicago From wherever he is
Back home to Chicago from where he is

Worse Decisions
04:21
|

|
I don't care
it doesn't matter anymore
there's nothing to say
whenever parents are away
besides
They're our lives
and its our choice to live them
to get cranked to level
to laugh to feel
to breathe to fall
to move and live
So just stop
'cause I'm not listening anymore
I've made up my mind
I'll spend it how I want it's my time
you know
They're our lives
and its our choice to live them
to get cranked to level
to laugh to feel
to breathe to fall
to move and live
There are worse decisions
They're our lives
and its our choice to live them
to get cranked to level
to laugh to feel
to breathe to fall
to move and live
