And Sons

Serve God, love me, and mend.

i believe in things most people do not

and while i am often unsure

about those things i am certain

this is the dichotomy

the beat hits

one and three

This is not the end.

you're the one i want to tell

all my nonsense to

you're the one i want to watch

the world change with

you're the one i want to hear

the truth from everytime

careful now

i might just trip over

Live unbruised we are friends.

glasses on the table

vibrating from the drums

i'm one for sand between my toes

it was the strangest moment of clarity

i'll laugh at just about anything

i'll only ever regret

the things that i can't ever smile about

so i try to make them few
if any

And I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

don't mistake my quiet for silence

oh silent mistake

i'd paint you with my words

if i wanted to

but i think i'll leave them

for a sunnier day and a brighter disposition

Sigh no more, no more.

oh i won't beg

but i will beseech

if i feel the tide is grazing my lips

pushing higher and higher

until the waves roll over upon my tongue

this is the moment

i remember

i'll always remember

One foot in sea, one on shore.

there was a man

on the street in barcelona

what a funny place for him to stand

just there in the median

without a sign or a hat

without a rhyme or a beat

yet there was a reason

unforseen in the mediocraty of his demeanor

My heart was never pure

it was that man

he knew me without a name

i was without words or hope

and he knew me better
than the closest friend i've ever known
this is that moment
of clarity
you'll know it when it hits you

And you know me and you know me.

i don't love you
so don't ask me to
maybe someday
when i can better see the stars
from where i'm standing
i am apparently not as transparent
as i think i am
And man is a giddy thing oh man is a giddy thing

it's dark outside
but i'm inside your warmth
despite the distance
without the knowledge of the future
rehab of desire
and we're back at square one
or something?
Oh man is a giddy thing oh man is a giddy thing.

trust is a bit of a grey area
and i don't speak well
it makes for a fun game of hideandseek
crop circles in the carpet
and everything meant in that
i have no idea what the future holds
but i think that's why i believe in God
i'll sing upper harmony with you
i'll sing upper harmony
Love, it will not betray you, dismay or enslave you

i won't ever say something for your benefit
being honest as i may
but i might not say it
and aren't those the same thing
hearts are easily cut out of paper
it's harder to give them dimensions
and once you do
it's hard to remember
each of the chambers you put things in
It will set you free.

lost
reward of unparalleled unconditonal if found
but then the question remains
is it something you actually want
my answer is yes
at least i think it is
but i don't worry nearly as much
as i most likely should
Be more like the man you were made to be.

i've got my head in the clouds
my feet in the water
and both hands clinging to the trees
i am always more than willing
to play in the dirt
just don't mistake me
for being grounded
i am still working on staying still
There is a design

i'll write it on your back
between the thread
i'll say "thank you
i am glad of you
and i hope you know
all you mean to me"
there is more i have to say
i'm sure
but i'm not ready yet
An alignment to cry

i can place the sunshine in my hair
and it makes my eyes so green
i'll never settle for less
than exactly what God has for me
i am standing
i'm just not sure if it's still
i am waiting
i'm just not sure if it's patiently
the music slows down
when life speeds up
dichotomy
Of my heart to see

there is a line
the question now
is whether it'll catch anything
i'm down by the river
rocky shores
and poor misunderstanding
under a bridge
over the water
this is where life happens
where are you in it
The beauty of love as it was made to be.
the truth is this
i don't know
i cannot know
but this is more than
well
more than i ever knew
i've never been one for expectations
but mayhaps
this will be the exception
