[Verse 1]
Like a hot cup of coffee on a winter's day,
Breathe it in.
We could shake it off; it could all go away.
Breathe it in.
[Verse 2]
Breathe out -
A world so cold, no one to hold.
Breathe out -
I want your touch, miss you so much.
[Bridge]
Oxygen, filling my lungs, touching my tongue.
Out with the new, in with the old - breaking the mold.
Coming and going, babe, life moves on.
Coming and going, babe, life moves on.
[Verses 1 and 2 at the same time]
[Outro]
I go on, looking for my home,
And everybody carries on, searching for their home.
I go on, (breathing deeply)
Looking for my home, (searching for something to say)
And everybody carries on, (breathing deeply)
Searching for their home. (blow my blues away)

I see you falling down to find
Those broken corners in your mind,
Those dusty bits you left behind
Of yourself.
Well I've been there, now I've been trying
To feel your insides
To reconcile your loneliness
And smear your wounds with silliness.
And I know, I'm not that soft with my words.
Yes, and I know that it's nothing you've never heard.
I know that it's all to fill with endless contradictions,
And I realize that you probably don't wanna listen.
[Chorus]
But I---
Want to see the stagnant pools of thought come to life,
So please---
Don't leave those little bits of frumpy in your hair.
Well you keep yourself at a distance,
Wrap yourself in resistance,
Forget the places that you've been,
And spank yourself with discipline.
You forcefully lose your way,
In trying to reach another day.
You fly too high so you can fall.
It seems that you don't know yourself at all.
But don't you be afraid
Of those messes in your hair that you have made.
Because everyone is stained
In their own, filthy little ways.
Chorus

Being Grown Up
03:38
|
|||
|
Waking up early, even though it's a Saturday,
Checking the mail, and it's nothing but bills to pay,
But I'm still just a kid.
Looking in my pantry, and what do I see?
I see nothing at all, except a few cans of beans, staring back at me.
Time to update my grocery list.
[Pre-chorus]
It all used to be easy, it all came so free.
I guess being a grown up crept up on me.
Where'd my inner child go?
Can I still go wild though?
[Chorus 1]
I'll watch TV with dinner. I'll be living the dream,
And I'm gonna build a blanket fort like the world's never seen,
And I'll leave it up all week, if I want to.
I'll play games on a weeknight, stay up till the sunlight.
Who cares if I'm tired? Who cares if I function right?
Worrying 'bout the future is for future me to do.
So much on my plate, but I can't leave it in the sink,
And all this lack of sleep is pushing me to the brink.
No one warned me about this.
Going to the dentist, but I don't get a toy,
And no one's ever impressed that I'm such a brave boy.
No I don't want more toothbrushes.
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus 2]
I'll watch TV with dinner. I'll be living the dream,
And I'm gonna build a blanket fort like the world's never seen,
And I'll put tacks in the walls, if I want to.
If I don't wanna cook, I'll just get Taco Bell.
I'll have eighteen burritos and a soda as well,
And I might die as a heart attack at age thirty-two,
But, worrying 'bout the future is for future me to do.

Portrait of You
01:27
|
|||
|
Standing proud on the hillside,
Sun reflecting in your big brown eyes.
Tell me what do they see?
And would you come to my defense?
'Cause day-to-day life just won't relent.
How did you get so free?
It's gonna be another working day,
But all around you, it's all OK,
'Cause gold is flowing in your bloodstream,
'Cause you're the Prince of the Sunbeam.
You're the Prince of the Sunbeam.
You're the Prince of the Sunbeam.
Oooohhh...

Sittin' on my own, most of the time,
I can get drunk with nobody to mind.
I still miss having somebody.
I used to have somebody to call "My Honey."
Spending the day, lying around,
Pretending I have thoughts going down.
Thinkin' maybe I need a bluegrass baby
To come fuck around with me.
[Chorus]
I know I got problems, and you probably got them too,
But sugar, I ain't got no problems with you.
So come on, let me tell you 'bout my sweet little life,
And honey, if you want, I'll take you for a ride.
Sproutin' tomatoes in my room.
Summers come and go, oh way too soon.
I'm gonna take all the sun I can get,
As long as my roots stay wet.
[Chorus]

Wanderin', wanderin', found a cactus.
Wanderin', wanderin', found a witch.
That damn lady told me I've got some bad juju in the mix.
[Chorus]
I've been lookin' for you, babe, all around,
But you're nowhere, nowhere to be found.
I've been lookin' for you, babe, all around,
But you're nowhere, nowhere to be found.
You took my bottle of whiskey and left a dead man in the ground.
Smokin', smokin', people smokin'.
Smokin', smokin', fire burning bright.
They may call me mad, but I know, I know, I know I'm in the right.
[Chorus]
Watchin', watchin', it all burn.
A calmness I do feel inside.
The flickering flames burning, now you ain't got no home to hide.
[Chorus]
Roamin', roamin', day and night.
Roamin' till the day I die, I'm sure.
Roamin' till I find what I am lookin' for.
'Cause you damned, sick bastard, I've got Satan at my door.
Satan at my door.

I--- wake up every morning,
And I'm in trouble,
But I--- know that every evening,
I'll feel fine.
[Chorus]
With that certain glow,
Everything looks better than before,
And I can travel a thousand miles
Without leaving my door.
I've got a box of tissues (and a roast beef sandwich),
And one of them's for you.
Xenon found its fluoride (xenon tetrafluoride),
So maybe I can find mine too.
Har-mo-ny,
I've been lookin' for that side of me.
(Har-mo-ny) Incongruity,
Seems that those two sides of
Me can't get along.
[Chorus]
[Chorus]

In My Head
04:27
|
|||
|
I've got unfinished thoughts, floating around in my head.
I have unfinished thoughts, floating around in my head.
I've got incomplete thoughts, just driving me wild.
I've got unfinished thoughts, floating around in my head.
I hope I can get them out, before I end up six feet under my bed.
Well I gotta start learning faster than I am.
Gotta start learning a lot faster than I am.
With so much to do and so much to see,
I've gotta start picking it up a lot faster than I have been.
I've gotta start learning a lot faster than I have been.
I gotta start listening.
I gotta start listening.
I gotta start listening.
I gotta start listening.
I gotta start listening to everything that's going down, all around.
Gotta start feeling.
I got to start feeling.
I got to start feeling.
I got to start feeling.
I got to start feeling a little warmth coming out of the ground.

The Man I Was That Day
03:48
|
|||
|
Once upon a time, I was just a little boy,
Standing in line with all the other little boys,
Waiting for the day when we would up and sail away.
I was meant for something great.
So I grew, yes I grew
Till I could grow no more.
Oh I grew, yes I grew
Till I could grow no more.
After just a little bit, I couldn't be recognized.
I took my self and molded it into something I admired.
I thought confidence was all it took to make a man,
And I was such a fool back then.
So I fought, yes I fought
Till I could fight no more.
Oh I fought, yes I fought
Till I could fight no more.
[Chorus]
If I could, I would go back, I swear,
But would I even have a prayer?
Would you have fallen, way back then,
For something other than the man I was that day?
Many years went by, and I met a pretty girl.
We gave a life a try from halfway around the world.
She filled my every dream with an ocean in between us.
We were meant for something great.
So we'd wait, yes we'd wait
Till we could wait no more.
Oh we'd, yes we'd wait
Till we could wait no more.
Now we live our life, and we're side by side at last,
Caring little for the strife and the struggles that we've passed.
It hurts to say aloud, but time to time, I have my doubts.
I guess I'm still a fool, even now.
So we'll live, yes we'll live
Till we can live no more.
Oh we'll live, yes we'll live
Till we can live no more.
[Chorus]

Oh Virginia, yeah you caught my eye
From your dainty feet to your big ol' thighs,
Oh Virginia. (Oh Virginia)
Yeah Virginia, you caught my eye
From your dainty feet to your big ol' thighs,
Virginia. (Oh Virginia)
Oh Virginia, love your smokey skin
And your marbled pearls. Can't do without you girl,
Oh Virginia. (Oh Virginia)
Love your smokey skin and your marbled pearls.
Can't do without you girl,
Virginia. (Oh Virginia)
Oh Virginia, I see you over there.
Yeah you're top of the line, no one like your kind,
Oh Virginia. (Oh Virginia)
See you over there, you're top of the line.
No one like your kind,
Oh Virginia. (Oh Virginia)
Oh Virginia.
Virginia. (Oh Virginia)
Oh Virginia, yeah you taste so sweet,
From your chunky thighs, to your dainty feet,
Oh Virginia. (Oh Virginia)
Well you taste so sweet -- to your dainty feet,
(Oh Virginia)
