Take It In

behind those pretty hazel eyes
she flashed a pretty secret smile
it got him hooked, so he just looked and took her in
they snapped no summer photographs
to prove that they had loved and laughed
they just drove the open road and took it in
road trip west, golden crest into burning leaves
holding hands, changing plans, wanting to be free
lonely nights when nothing's right
dust into the wind
just remember you were here....
the spotlight sweeps across so fast
it's dark too soon, nothing lasts
so let it seep into your skin while you can, take it in
try to feel it deeper yet
if it marks your heart, you won't forget
don't be afraid, open up and take it in, take it in
take it in, take it in
just take it, take it, take it, take it in
driving east, pedal pushed, to the rising sun
the windows down, music up, and the heater on
everything behind is gone, left inside a dream
so remember what you're feeling now
the light, the heat, the love, the crowd
we've never been right here like this before
and will not be again
so take it in, take it in
just take it, take it, take it, take it in
the spotlight sweeps across so fast
it's dark too soon, nothing lasts
so let it seep into your skin while you can, take it in
try to feel it deeper yet
if it marks your heart, you won't forget
don't be afraid, open up and take it in, take it in
running through the sprinkler on the lawn in the Phoenix desert sun…
cruising Central Avenue high school nights in Dad's red pickup truck…
the drive to the other side of the world, not knowing how you'd eat or live…
sitting on that dock wondering why you couldn't seem to give…
that solo trip to Sonar fest, white alleys of Ibiza town,
adobe walls and narrow streets cooling off so much when the sun went down…
that French guy you stayed up with speaking Spanish with til way past dawn,
the one you loved and lost and still can't get your mind around!
take it in… take it, take it, take it, take it in

Take It One Day

she didn't really mean that much
just a cute one from the band
but she wanted too much of his time
he didn't want to be her man
so he brushed her off gently
he had better things on his mind, so he said
let's just be friends, girl
let's just take it one day at a time
take it one day, take it one day at a time
take it one day, take it one day at a time
a drink here, a drink there
he got used to her company
and heads turned when they walked in together
that much he could see
and then the nights started getting deeper
when they ended up together back at home
but he didn't want to ruin a good thing
so he kept his options open
and took it one day, took it one day at a time
just took it one day, took it one day at a time
take it one day, take it one day at a time
take it one day, take it one day at a time
but then one day he realized
she's what he's wanted all his life
and now he's ready to stay right by her side
so on his knees he told everything
but then boy, when she did the same
he suddenly found out that both of them had changed
now you can't believe how long a day can be
when you just lie in bed and wish for sleep
when your phone is quiet like death
no matter how often you check
but one day she will start to fade
and one night will turn to day
and another love will find her way
but until then...
take it one day, take it one day at a time
take it one day, take it one day at a time

hey you - ever dream, like I dream?
it's not as bad as it seems
hey you - yeah my thoughts, they may run
a little wild, like a child
we'll have so much in common
walk the downtown park in autumn
leaves are falling don't stop talking
keep on wanting while we're walking
the sun will melt into the city
lights will paint the street so pretty
you will always be there with me
everything will be so easy
hey you, hey you, hey you
don't you think, don't you think about me and you
hey you, hey you, hey you
don't you think?
hey you - do you think, do you dream
about it too? what will we do?
hey you - electric touch, need the rush
want so much, never enough
we'll find a place right near the beach
a perfect little white retreat
where you will surf and i will read
have everything we want or need
a big old deep blue swimming pool
our friends come over, break the rules
we'll drink on tuesday afternoons
and sleep outside up on the roof
hey you, hey you, hey you
don't you think, don't you think about me and you
hey you, hey you, hey you
don't you think?
I know I do it sometimes, I jump the gun
but you got to understand I can't resist a little fun
I got no illusions, I been through a lot
so don't go thinking that i'm fragile 'cause i'm not
we're both grownups here, it's a level playing field
Not playing it coy, I'm just playing it real
so you got some baggage yeah surprise, don't we all?
All I want to know for now is can you stand up tall
'cause I'm stronger than I look and i've lived a bunch of lives
done some loving and some leaving and some breaking of ties
and now I carry little pieces of their hearts around
I'm a dreamer and a lover and I might let you down
but I won't hold back, you'll never worry about
whether six months later something finally come out
so let's start from the beginning 'cause that's the best part
and pretend that it's perfect til one of us breaks a heart!

Back to the Shadows
05:04
|

my love worshipped at my feet
we admired the marks we'd leave
we gave each other poison to drink
and i remember it was sweet
i stood on the altar broken like a slave
he left me alone to feel the air on my face
he showed his devotion by knowing the edge
i showed mine by letting him walk on it
we owned each other like dogs on a leash
in the dark, but the sun broke us free
let's go back to the shadows
away from the light
let's go back there together
and remember how to fight
let's go deeper together
and stay in the night
let's go back to the shadows
and make it wrong, make it wrong, to make it right
we wrote hieroglyphics on clay in the rain
we poured acid on each other's rusty chains
we chased it down the rabbit hole a while
lost and blind, but feeling so alive
but now i wake each morning to a flat white sun
blinking in the white but nothing else i could have done
i took more of him than i knew he could give
but in breaking us apart, he made me live
we owned each other like dogs on a leash
in the dark, but the sun broke us free, oh!
oh, you broke me, so now i'm yours
but the pieces they still want more
just take me back to before
let's go back to the shadows
away from the light
let's go back there together
and remember how to fight
let's go deeper together
and stay in the night
let's go back to the shadows
and make it wrong, make it wrong, to make it right

i'm down in the dirt
with the leaves and the worms
i'm digging deep, going deep
we always took turns
or it's beach sand
and the waves oh the waves
they keep coming they keep keep coming oh
we were digging deep, going deep
we always took turns
i was wrong about the ground
i'm flying, I'm high
you were my best friend
when did that end? oh i
oh i, i
keep wondering, I keep wondering
and the waves keep coming they keep keep coming oh
you were my best friend
we always took turns
past lives, when you were a child, a child, a child
why did you lie? was it easier, or just true at the time?
i don't mind
I don't mind
i don't mind
now It's just me and the sky
me and the sky
me and the sky
me and the sky, ooh
me and the sky, ooh

i... never thought i'd put up a fight
never thought that you could be right
but that night when i lied and you just smiled,
i saw you see right into me
it was then i figured out that you know
a little more than i'm trying to show
but i guess this is just how it goes
'cause you know me better than that
yeah you know me better than that
you-you-you-you just happen
to read-read-read my mind and
you see between the lines 'cause
you know me better, so much better and
you-you-you just happened
a train straight down the track and
a lucky lucky accident yeah
you just happened, you just happened to me
i'd say it's not exceptional
that what we got, soon will go
that it doesn't mean anything
when you take hold of my hand
...but you know me better than that
yeah you know me better than that
you-you-you-you just happen
to read-read-read my mind and
you see between the lines 'cause
you know me better, so much better and
you-you-you just happened
a train straight down the track and
a lucky lucky accident yeah
you just happened, you just happened to me
there's nothing i could hide from you now
cuz you know me inside and out
but somehow you're still hanging around

Never Going Home
05:01

|
when you surround me i overflow
so don't let
go with me up past the sky above
and we will never -
take the last train babe, i will meet you there
at the secret place we
share a final look before we say goodbye,
for the last
time is on our side, we feel so high
about to cut all ties
cuz we are never
we're never going
we're never going
we're never going
we are never going home
we are never going home
we are never going home
we are never going home
we ride on with whatever we can find
we don't mind being out of
control we don't want now or tomorrow
and we are never -
i may be wrong with this, i never know,
but i still need to
try to chase a promise of another life
'cause i think it's our
time is on our side, we feel so high
so we close our eyes
cuz we are never going home
we are never going home
we are never going home
