With you I've been waiting
The years have gone by
It's like I've been here before
It's like I've sung that same line
The California sun faded
So I left it behind
I've told that same old story
Like four million times
It's all right I don't mind
I'm not ashamed after all
I'll be fine when the time comes
for my curtain call
Things change if you want it or not
So I'll give what I got
It might not be a lot after fall
Nonprofit? Not likely.
Good luck with that, man
Go climb the ladder -
You might just get paid now and then
Thanks for those kind words
That gets me right here in the chest
I guess I'm destined for failure
If you call that success
It's all right I don't mind
I'm not ashamed after all
I'll be fine when the time comes
for my curtain call
Things change if you want it or not
So I'll give what I got
It might not be a lot after fall
It's not my sparkling charm
That gets me all that I need
Thank God it's not the strength of my song
Thank God, indeed

Midnight

You had a lot of bad things happen
All at the wrong time
You don't recall feeling quite this bad
In your whole life
Every night you fall asleep to the light
Of the television
Now you don't want to say it...
You think you can make it alone...
You can call on the phone at midnight
I'll be standing by after all my goodnights
You can hold on and sit tight
Everybody needs a call after midnight
It's like a lot of your day's spent
Trying to be patient
Spending your time drawing chalk outlines
Of yourself on the pavement
When the bed hits your head
You still feel generic
Now you don't want to say it...
You think you can make it alone...
You can call on the phone at midnight
I'll be standing by after all my goodnights
You can hold on and sit tight
Everybody needs a call after midnight
Now you don't want to say it...
You think you can make it alone...
But you really need to pick up the phone now

Questions

In the daylight
I've been running myself into the ground
As if there is some honor
In wearing myself out
Always weary for the future
And praying for the faith
That could move a foolish mountain
And calm an angry wave
My father told me,
"Son there is both in every man;
The measure of the goodness
Is the measure of the bad."
That thought begins to linger
In my point of view
I'd like to think I play the angel
But I've been the devil, too
You will meet me in the heavens
If I grow the wings
You will meet me in the depths
If that is where I choose to sleep
You have seen what lives inside me
You know my nervous thoughts
My heart is full of questions
Will the answers ever come?
Will I grow the wings?
Will you meet me in the depths
Where I choose to sleep?

Nothing Gold Can Stay

I read that nothing gold can stay
But the good ones never go away
The photos never seem to fade
Sometimes they just need different frames
It's true that you and I will gray
We'll both get old and pass away
My dear, we'll dance until that day
'Til we go softly to the grave
And it's like I've always said
Time spent with you is time well spent
It's time that has no end
It's time that has no end

Flowers (for Molly)

I see the leaves blow away as we're passing on by
We talk about things that we cannot explain as we drive
Hope is a curious thing
When it leads you right into the ring
The world won't stop spinning, and I don't feel anything
What will you need to keep warm at night?
In my safest of places I can't decide
To have and to hold
Still I need to let go
What do you do with the best day of your life?
I brought you daisies
Amazingly, they're still alive
I remembered to cut of the stems with a sharp kitchen knife
At least for today they're okay
Inside a nice crystal vase
Suffice it to say, it's the happiest day of my life
What will you need to keep warm at night?
In my safest of places I can't decide
To have and to hold
Still I need to let go
What do you do with the best day of your life?
So rejoice now
I rejoice now
All rejoice now
What will you need to keep warm at night?
In my safest of places I can't decide
To have and to hold
Still I need to let go
What do you do with the best day of your life?
Unable to sleep, we lay closely
Our eyes open wide
While you hold my hand
Underneath the bed covers pulled tight
A new day's upon us and I just grew up tonight
Suffice it to say, it's the happiest day of my life
So rejoice now
I rejoice now
All rejoice now
