• 1 I Worry 4:18

  I worry

  My mind up and goes

  When the time comes

  For me to lay down my load

  I've been running

  Just like sauce on a plate

   

  And I worry

  I'll worry my life away

  Yes I worry

  I'll worry my life away

   

  I've been driving

  Toward the sun in the sky

  Watch the floaters

  At the edge of my eye

  Just a shadow

  In the blue of the day

   

  And I worry

  I'll worry my life away

  Yes I worry

  I'll worry my life away

   

  I dreamt

  A big wave

  Curling fingers of foam

  Here to take me away

   

  I worry

  But sometimes the peace comes

  Still and gentle

  Feel it rest in my bones

  For a moment

  How I wish it could stay

   

  And I worry

  I'll worry my life away

  Yes I worry

  I'll worry my life away

  Yes I worry

  I'll worry my life away

  Yes I worry

  I'll worry my life away

• 2 Love Is Gonna Save Us 4:42

  I'm not perfect

  But I'm trying

  You blink twice

  When you are lying

   

  Buckle under expectation

  Steady as a Roman building

   

  What a world

  The ice is growing thin

  And love is gonna save us in the end

   

  Every day

  A new adventure

  Heart so full

  I feel it breaking

  Nothing else

  Comes into frame

  Blueberries

  And guessing games

   

  What a world

  The ice is growing thin

  And love is gonna save us in the end

   

  Sometimes it seems

  There's nothing to do

  Just hold onto me

  I'll hold on to you

   

  I'm not perfect

  But I'm trying

   

  What a world

  The ice is growing thin

  And love is gonna save us in the end

  Love is gonna save us in the end

  Love is gonna save us in the end

  Love is gonna save us in the end

• 3 Cactus 3:22

  The world is cactus

  Covered in pr**ks

  We'll never see the end of it

   

  Diving through digital waves

  That make your skin crawl

  Just a fat leech gorging on it all

   

  It's making me crazy like it does

  It's making me thirst for water

  It's making my hair stand up on end

  I'm thinking we're cactus

  Cactus my friend

   

  Watch the modern prophet

  Preach the gospel of want

  Command them all

  Like a living god

  The ice caps melting

  And the ocean's gonna rise

  You missed it

  You were looking at another life

   

  It's making you crazy like it does

  It's making you thirst for water

  It's making your hair stand up on end

  I'm thinking we're cactus

  Cactus my friend

   

  Bailing out

  We're taking on water now

  Head down

  As the sh*t flies

  I've found

  Some protection

  In going to ground

  Spikes up

  Like the cacti

   

  It's making us crazy like it does

  It's making us thirst for water

  It's making our hair stand up on end

  I'm thinking we're cactus

  Cactus my friends

• 4 1985 4:18

  There's a photograph

  Where you look alike

  Walking on the beach

  1985

  She is young and lean

  And she's smiling wide

   

  And the storm clouds hang

  In the distance there

  They are sparse and grey

  Like an old man's hair

  And they follow her

  Almost everywhere

   

  You know they do

  They follow you too

  Some sad stray dog

  You could never lose

  Ain't it lonely being blue?

   

  And she did her best

  Just like anyone

  What a wise woman

  What a paragon

  But she gets real dark

  When she's all alone

   

  Tried to meditate

  But it never works

  Smoke it all away

  Watch the feelings burn

   

  Does she need it now

  Just to feel some warmth?

  You need it too

  It's sad but true

  Patch the crumbling dam

  With paper glue

  Ain't it lonely being blue?

   

  She's been with you like a heartbeat

  A constant, all your life

  You can see her on the back porch

  She's trying not to cry

   

  And smiling like 1985

   

  There's a photograph

  Where you look alike

  Walking on the beach

  Just the other night.

• 5 Amber 3:43

  Orange like the sunset

  Bleeding through the sky

  Orange like the leaves at Easter

  Orange like the cut up fruit we ate at halftime

  Orange like the thick lantana

   

  I'm sorry

  I mean it

  I can't make up my mind

  And there in my dreaming

  Is a flashing amber light

   

  Orange like the classic

  Paperbacks you buy

  Orange like a maple flower

  Orange like your sundress

  Orange like the light

  Black as charcoal from the fire

   

  I'm sorry

  I mean it

  I can't make up my mind

  And there in my dreaming

  Is a flashing amber light

   

  I'm sorry

  I mean it

  I'm somewhere in between

  And there in my dreaming

   

  Is a flashing amber light

                    

• 6 Pollyanna 3:51

  Pollyanna

  I swear everything is fine

  There's no cockroach in the ointment

  There's no blight upon the vine

   

  Pollyanna

  You know everything is cool

  And even if it isn't

  Hell, there's not much you can do

   

  And all this worry's gonna fill your mind

  Like the rising ocean

  Like your cheap red wine

  It's not your fault

  You didn't start the fire

  But, now it's burning like a

  Funeral pyre

   

  Pollyanna

  You just go from day to day

  Stopped reading the newspapers

  It's all bulls**t anyway

   

  Pollyanna

  When you're in your bed at night

  Do you watch the ceiling fan

  And think of sh*t you wanna buy?

   

  And all this worry's gonna fill your mind

  Like the rising ocean

  Your cheap red wine

  It's not your fault

  You didn't start the fire

  And now it's burning like a

  Funeral pyre

   

  Born under a sign

  A comet in the sky

  Your parents read the astral charts and

  The planets all aligned

  They named you for the times…

   

  "Pollyanna"

  Well it fills your mind

  It's the rising ocean

  It's the winter time

  It's not your fault

  You didn't start the fire

  But grab a bucket

  Gotta try to fight it

• 7 Pyramid 4:04

  Our house looks like a bomb has hit

  There's crayons in the kitchen sink

  Since you came along

  And flipped the whole world upside down

   

  There's glitter on the kitchen floor

  Pink dresses scattered down the hall

  I tried to write a song

  But you've turned Taylor Swift up loud

   

  I wasn't such a fan

  But now I think I am

   

  Arms in the air

  Just like a pyramid

  Standing on its head

  I wanna give and give and give and give

  But I  could never give enough

  So I think this must be love

   

  My bed is full of unicorns

  I dream amongst their sparkling horns

  Your footsteps on the stairs

  Sound like a welcome summer breeze

   

  You told me I'm a silly man

  I swear to god, you're right I am

  You seem to know something that I've

  Forgotten long ago

   

  I'm watching as you sleep

  I've never felt such peace

   

  Arms in the air

  Just like a pyramid

  Standing on its head

  I wanna give and give and give and give

  But I could never give enough

  So I think this must be love

   

  You said "if you see a black hole

  Never jump in it, you should run!"

  So, if you stumble on a black hole

  You better tell your dad and mum

   

  Arms in the air 

   

  Just like a pyramid 

   

  Standing on its head 

   

  I wanna give and give and give and give 

   

  But I could never give enough 

   

  So I think this must be love 

• 8 Change 4:25

  There's a season to grow

  And a season to sow

  And a season buried

  Under winter snow

   

  And I miss all my friends

  That I made way back when

  Now everyone has  families

  Of their own

   

  When I feel the change

  I surrender

  Everything is change

  Forever

   

  There's a pattern for you

  And a pattern for me

  And a pattern where the skyline

  Meets the trees

   

  Watch the river flow by

  See the sun in your eyes

  And the moon still up

  Although it's daytime

   

  When I feel the change

  I surrender

  Everything is change

  Forever

   

  There's the world that I wish

  And the world as it is

  And suffering lies in the difference

   

  Can you feel the change?

  Surrender

  Everything is change

  Forever

   

  Forever

   

  Forever 

• 9 Green 5:15

  You're the root of all evil

  And a goddess to some

  Show some leg then return to your tower

  Watch the cavalry come

   

  And I don't really know you

  But from what I have seen

  You're out pickin' the winners and losers

  Who's red and who's green?

   

  Everybody here wants you

  Got their eyes on the prize

  I'd be lying if I said

  That I don't think about you sometimes

  And I want you to stay with me

  But I don't want you running my life

  That kind of thing can hollow a man out inside

   

  I've looked up as you flew by

  I've seen you in the dirt

  Come on baby, please tell me, I'm wondering

  What's a human life worth?

   

  Some will kill just to have you

  Some will die 'cause they don't

  But you're loyal, you stick with the people you know

  For the most part 

   

  I'm told

   

  Everybody here wants you

  Got their eyes on the prize

  I'd be lying if I said

  That I don't think about you sometimes

  And I want you to stay with me

  But I don't want you running my life

  That kind of thing can hollow a man out…

   

  You say you don't decide

  Who's right or whose wrong

  You just go with the flow

  Go wherever you want

  You're known all 'round the world

  By all different names

  Up and down like the ocean

  But always the same

  Outside of the bubble

  You're nothing at all

  A collective delusion

  A lie we all want

  But I can't tell the difference

  You exist in my head

  But still pick all the winners

  Who's green and who's red?

   

  Everybody here wants you

  Got their eyes on the prize

  I'd be lying if I said

  That I don't think about you sometimes

  And I want you to stay with me

  But I don't want you running my life

  That kind of thing can hollow a man out

  That kind of thing can hollow a man out inside

• 10 Everything Is Falling Apart (But Here We Are) 3:43

  I got better things to do

  Than to keep up with the trends

  I got mouths to feed

  And books to read

  And gardens to tend

   

  An open sky there in my mind

  A wave on the sea

  Forgetting where I am

  Or who I happen to be

   

  There's a new Cold War

  It's getting hotter

  There's a ticking clock

  It's getting louder

   

  Can you feel it?

   

  Everything is falling apart

  But here we are

  Right here, we are

   

  Everything is falling apart

  But here we are

  Right here, we are

   

  Your breathing is the crashing waves

  That soothe me

  When I grow tired

  And I need someone to hold me

   

  Do you understand the reasons

  I get lonely?

  When connection's just a tool

  For selling something

   

  There's a new cold war

  It's getting hotter

  There's a ticking clock

  It's getting louder

   

  Can you feel it?

   

  Everything is falling apart

  But here we are

  Right here, we are

   

  Everything is falling apart

  But here we are

  Right here, we are

   

  So patch the holes

  To stem the flow

  The years spin on and on

  Know that you are lucky

   

  Can you feel it?

   

  Everything is falling apart

  But here we are

  Right here, we are

   

  Everything is falling apart

  But here we are

  Right here, we are
