This Is My Theory

See Me, Here Me, Feel Me 03:33
lyrics

Foghorn blowing through the mist, I can see for miles. Where’s the shoreline? Gone for nearly thirty days, horizon ever-wild Ever wild Land on the shore, run to the streets, find what I want But it’s not what I need. You wouldn’t, you couldn’t wait for me While I was gone away. Turn the lights out (see me) Close the window (hear me) Pull the covers (feel me) Watch the sunrise (see me) Lock the door shut (hear me) Hold the bottle (feel me) This is what I waited for. This is what I came home to. The ending I suppose you were alone, I suppose he found you. He found you. Run out the door, scream out his name, tear out my heart. But it’s not what you need You lost him, you lost me all at once And now you’re all alone. See me, hear me, feel me.

Lifted To The Windows 03:49

Goin' down to the coffee shop, brought a bottle of OJ, I ain't gonna drink it. Wait in line, I'm right on time, looking for the signal And I can't believe it. You aren't the one that I expected. Quarter million, half a cent, the coin doesn't matter If this is real. Just need enough to buy a bottle of OJ And turn the wheel. I want to listen to your story. It's cold and it's warm, the opposites together The only time is when I see your eyes And poetry's not lifted to the windows to your soul. Is this the way to go? So now I see the cutest girl in the building The one with the paper. I know it's odd, so help me God, there is no pressure, But three hours later... One end is just one more beginning.

No More 03:33

Sing me silent breeze against the wind And find out that all is just a dream Call me logically, a valid sign That all this is no more than a scream Find security, lose no more. Read me holy words, and tell me why Your Heaven is better than my own Tell me all your lies, leave nothing out So come within inches of your life Sell me sacrifice and freedom by The sunrise below the red, red sea Sing me silent breeze against the wind And find out that all is just a dream

Pass The Drink 04:02
lyrics

Did you want me there this morning? Did you want me there at all? I’ll just stare off to the pictures on the wall Run towards the trailer and hide inside my room Can’t go to sleep, the middle of the afternoon Bide my time in silence with music in my mind. This is just a dream, it can’t be real After all I knew it had to end A casualty of my imagination Pass the drink to me, pass the drink to me. Drive across the border, take the gravel road Dust blows in your face, remove the heavy load. How did we get back here? Where do I belong? I’ll get through this; I just need to be strong.

Wheels Are Turning 05:22
lyrics

Boys down at the schoolyard playing their schoolyard games See the kid from the poor side, laugh and call him names After all, that’s how one gets popular Strike together for your cause, then wait for their applause. The wheels are turning now Big kid on the schoolyard, you know you’re a star You set yourself a good example, you’re gonna go far All the boys are waiting for your move Tell the kid what you’ll do, there’s no escaping you. The wheels are turning now “Why am I different? I’m just another guy. Can’t go back to school, I’d rather just die.” Your star is shining its brightest, but you’re in denial Everybody is watching you, now who’s the one on trial? Who’d have thought your actions would come to this? “But, I wasn’t putting him down. I was just fooling around!” The wheels are turning now…..

All The Same 04:11
lyrics

Once in summers gone by, as the sun hung above Watched the clouds in the sky, course we talked about love How it had come to neither one, it wasn't fun But still we kept praying. "You're a real nice guy" At least that's what you were saying. Seems the days are so long, sun don't go down 'til ten. Still we sit in the shade, start all over again. I realize it's in your eyes, a big surprise That's when I stopped talking. "You're a real nice guy" Then you started walking. Love songs can be hard to take When you know what they mean One boy demands an answer, one man controls the scene One girl dreams the impossible, one woman begs for the end It's all the same to you and me By you and me For you and me. All the leaves have fallen, and the sky turns to grey Old familiar refrains are all we have to say. The dream is gone, it's been so long, I must be wrong And so we just stay here. "You're a real nice guy" I don't want to be here.

Every Wave 04:09
lyrics

Darkness falls again tonight The day has hardly changed its shade of grey All I know, I don't know anything But still I make mistakes along the way. You hold out your hand And I take back everything I thought was mine Let my heart decide And let my mind for once relent And lose all self-control Leave it behind Find the wave Every wave returns to shore So it goes forever more Find and save The passionate and patient one So it goes for everyone Frozen sea and city light The noises in the parking lot and inside my head Keep me awake all through the night Imagination, back in time, the evening you said That I held out my hand And you took back everything you knew was mine Let the fates decide And let the Earth for once relent And gain her self-control Leave her behind...

Change 03:18
lyrics

Is this the time you should be asking for my hand? Once years ago you said I’d never understand. Now all those things I’ve said and done are coming true. It’s like in times gone by, I guess I owe it all to you. Hold me in your arms again and tell me it’s alright. And maybe this time I’ll forgive you. It’s really not a choice of who is wrong or right But maybe this time I’ll forget you In a time of change Down on my knees I start to pray to ease the pain Please promise me that you won’t do this again. I do believe that this story’s getting old. It’s time to dry your eyes and let another one unfold. Here by myself I thought I saw you walking past. Don’t worry, now I know the pain can never last. Where am I? Tell me, ‘cause I can’t take anymore. Can that be you I hear knocking on my door.

Glimmer 07:24
lyrics

You call me impatient, I waited for days All alone in the snow of mid-April And yet I still wait here, the phone doesn’t ring But I hope maybe soon there’ll be sunlight Hanging on to a glimmer of truth As the demons try to deceive me But they’re winning, so call off the dogs Because I never let them out. You said it was pointless and called me a fool So I boarded my plane to Toronto And yet you still hurt me and play me your games And now the snow grows even higher You call me a stranger, you know who I am So you look to the east of Vancouver I hope you’ve found someone who’s better than I ‘Cause the coasts are too far from each other
