Thank You For It All
02:35
|

Thank you for the laughter, thank you for the smiles
Thank you for the memories, thank you for it all
Thank you for the music, thank you for the applause
Thank you for making me who I am, thank you for it all
I feel like I belong here, I've known it all along
You're my second family, this is my second home
I don't know what the future holds, but that's all right with me
I cannot think of any place that I would rather be

Willow

There is a willow grows aslant a brook
That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream
There with fantastic garlands did she come
And fell in the weeping brook
Her clothes spread wide
And mermaid-like a while they bore her up
Which time she chanted snatches of old lauds
As one incapable of her own distress
Or like a creature native and indued
Unto that element
But long it could not be
'Til that her garments, heavy with their drink
Pulled the poor wretch from her melodious lay
To muddy death
Sing willow, willow, willow
Sing willow, willow, willow
Too much of water hast thou poor Ophelia
And therefore I forbid my tears
My mother had a maid called Barbara
She was in love and he she loved proved mad
And did forsake her
She had a song of willow
An old thing 'twas
But it expressed her fortune and she died singing it
That song tonight will not go from my mind
"Sing all a green willow"

It wouldn't be as hard to do
The things I have been asked to do
If you weren't yourself
If you were someone else
Your talent is remarkable
Your patience is commendable
I ask too much of you
I ask too much of you
It's not that I don't like you
But I know that I'm not right for you
And I can't seem to see you
Quite the way that I'm supposed to
We were just thrown together
But I'd walk through stormy weather
And find someplace, wherever
We didn't have to be together
We shouldn't be together
If I knew how to talk to you
If I could find a way to you
Would we see eye to eye?
I'm glad this time you tried
It's good to hear your voice today
But I can't find a way to say
"I love you" when I don't
"I love you" but I don't
I can't allow myself to entertain
The idea of finding you
To be the one I want
I don't know what I want
But I know that it isn't you
I can't give you that chance

You know it's time for me to take a break
Fifteen minutes is all you'll have to wait
Go stretch your legs so you can stay awake

Unprepared [The Big One]
03:04
|
|||
We sit inside, enjoying our comfort
The storm is blowing, could we be hurt?
We like to think we'll never be hurt
The storms have always passed us by
We don't think that we could ever die
So we just sit on our asses
Looking through rose-colored glasses
And when we're caught unaware
We'll wish we had been prepared
We keep our family close and secure
So if there's any danger we have to endure
At least we'll be together, and then we're sure
That we know their fate
Even if it is too late
When the bridges are down and we've fallen off the grid
We won't want to be separated
I've got to stay and hope for a few more quiet years
I can't leave my life behind when all my friends are staying here
I hope we can make it through
'Cause I don't know what else to do
Will we keep sitting on our asses
Looking through rose-colored glasses?

I Do Not Have To Know
00:57

I'm glad you're here, I'm glad you have come home
I don't know why you actually came home
But that's okay, I do not have to know
Just what made you decide that you would come back home
This piece of tape is stapled to the wall
I don't know why it's stapled to the wall
But that's okay, I do not have to know
Just why this piece of tape is stapled to the wall
Don't ask me why I took off my right shoe
I don't know why I took off my right shoe
But that's okay, I do not have to know
Or is that even right? Maybe it was the left
I think it was the left shoe, yes it was the left
