lyrics

virginia

we walk together through the trees
and i watch your hands as you talk to me
you say that virginia is for lovers
well i'll have to take my chances and see

well here i am standing at this door
and i told myself i can't, i can't anymore
broken hearts and tearless eyes
are all i have to show for, to show for

i feel it in my bones
yet i know how this story goes, story goes
and my heart breaks a thousand times
and i can't bear to see my baby cry, baby cry

well my heart's been asleep for a while
and it awakens every time i see you smile
i can't tell if this is love
or am i lost in lust, in us

well what's wrong boy, why you fallin apart
i'll be your keeper, i'll take car of this heart
you let past love throw your mind
this is it, and you're going to be just fine

i feel it in my bones
yet i know how this story goes, story goes
and my heart breaks a thousand times
and i can't bear to see my baby cry, baby cry

virginia is for lovers
take a chance for this
last romance

i feel it in my bones
yet i know how this story goes, story goes
and my heart breaks a thousand times
and i can't bear to see my baby cry, baby cry

they say don't jump, so i'm gonna dive
don't break this, take me alive
run away from the fear within
come on now and start again


paper birds

racing on sidewalks we flew away
jumping from heights i tried to be brave
inklings of longings that turned into feelings for you
like you knew they'd do, for you
yeah you knew they'd do
for you

fires igniting under my feet
climbing up trees so i could release
paper birds holding words sending a message to you
and so they fly to you
like you knew they'd do
for you

islands split my sides
tunnels don't see through the night
domes of love fill my lungs
for you

strangers let books dictate human hearts
but telephone wires tear them apart
fear of the static, so i found my way back to you
like you knew i'd do, for you
yeah you knew i'd do
for you

elephant shorcuts take me on home
riding on backs from the great unknown
standing on tarsals is what pulls my heart back to you
and so i ride to you
like you knew i'd do
for you

sleeping giants cry
feeling emptiness inside
domes of love fill my lungs
for you

and i'm racing the waves
and it's all i can think to do to be brave
yeah i'm racing the waves
and i'll find my way
to you

denim on denim i'm blending in
ready to float away with the wind
east winds are calling and now i am falling to you
and so i fly to you
like you knew i'd do
for you

it was all rem sleep, now i'm awake
i use my dreams as a great escape
but don't worry darling, it's all in a grand scheme for you
like you knew i'd plan for you
yeah you knew i'd plan
for you

and i'm racing the waves
and it's all i can think to do to be brave
yeah i'm racing the waves
and i'll find my way
to you

islands split my sides
tunnels don't see through the night
domes of love fill my lungs
for you


two-toned

i want you to know how i feel
i hope i get this out alright
and i think you know for you i'll
walk this line of uncertainty
even though time holds us back
i'll wait for you as you say

breathe in
breathe out
you think way too much
now just be calm
just be calm, it's okay
just be calm, it's okay

you tell your mother how you feel
ask her to fix this spell
cause you're worried about the road ahead
of things untold, and things unkown
and you claim to have this peace of mind
that's telling you, you're gonna be fine
listen up now, i'm tellin you
i'll be here for you through and through

breathe in 
breathe out
you think way too much
now just be calm
just be calm, it's okay
just be calm, it's okay

you're goin far, it's what you deserve
i've seen you spread your wings before
now take up the wind and fly away
it's who you are, and why you were made
and if you get scared and it shakes your heart
and you feel alone in the dark
just don't forget when you're writing your song
i'll be here to sing along

breathe in 
breathe out
you think way too much
now just be calm
just be calm, it's okay
just be calm, it's okay

i want you to know how i feel
i hope i get this out alright
and i think you know for you i'll
walk this line of uncertainty
even though time holds us back
i'll wait for you as you say 

breathe in 
breathe out
you think way too much
now just be calm
just be calm, it's okay
just be calm, it's okay


blue jay

whisperings creep into my mind
they sink into my spine
and as i stand upright
i close my mouth shut tight

whisper love into your ear
the things you need to hear
and as you stand so near
you close your mouth in fear

these walls, i built thick and tall
proctect my heart so small
but you weren't scared at all
that's when i started to fall

these hands, worn out from a climb
but i've made up my mind
your waist is so divine
and now you're finally mine

and it's only us, only us
that i see
a window through the trees shows
the stars out for you and me, and me
to see

and i feel it in, feel it in
my spine
your love's takin over my mind
and i feel this could be the last time

fences separate these hearts
but that's where i got my start
i knew i could play this part
that's why these tears are makin their mark

your hands fit into my own
this finally feels like home
look how my love has grown
look how our love has grown

miles have no mercy on us
and so we've built our trust
i'll have to pay my time
but i feel that this is right

at time this may feel like a trial
well, we'll have to wait a while
this is our time to grow
and then we'll finally know


and it's only us, only us
that i see
a window through the trees shows
the stars out for you and me, and me
to see

and i feel it in, feel it in 
my spine
your love's takin over my mind
and i feel this could be the last time

and i think i finally love
the trees screaming your name
telling me everything
can be, will be
the same

and it's only us, only us
that i see
a window through the trees shows
the stars out for you and me, and me
to see

and i feel it in, feel it in 
my spine
your love's takin over my mind
and i feel this could be the last time


cowboys & indians


cowboys and indians, red ryder bb guns
wishin' i was born a hundred years ago
and john wayne's my hero, shoot 'em up do-si-do
i wanna be there with him to save the day

singin' yippee ty-aye-yay
yippee ty-aye-oh, yippee ty-aye-yay, yippee ty-aye-oh

poppa says come on in, it's time to put your guns away
you'll have a chance to play another day
but i don't want to stop just yet, i need to catch billy the kid
and his bad, bad brigade


singin' yippee ty-aye-yay
yippee ty-aye-oh, yippee ty-aye-yay, yippee ty-aye-oh

momma puts me to sleep, i guess i'll play another day
but in my dreams still will be

cowboys and indians, red ryder bb guns
wishin' i was born a hundred years ago


singin' yippee ty-aye-yay
yippee ty-aye-oh, yippee ty-aye-yay, yippee ty-aye-oh
