We Did It All

When the sun comes up we’ll gone
Hit the road and head out east
We won’t wait
It’s too late, we’ll be on the lake by quarter to eight now
Turn the radio off it’s ok
We both saw the weather on the tv
It’s just you and me
Your daughter she’s asleep in the back seat
Live hard and die young
Life is harder when you love someone
We did it all for fun
We’ve got lines and lure and bate
But if we run out we can share
You don’t care we fished it cause it was there now
Wild skies
In her eyes
She holds my hand and i can see
Big tears
Ten years
She knows pain but she don’t know me
Will I ever be
Summers become falls
Strong and able when we had it all
Standing free and walking tall
Look in my eyes son
Life is harder when you love some one
We did it all

So unbalanced
So unfair
Think the world’s
out for you
Just your luck
Sold out of love
When the world’s
Got you down
They’re not out to get you
Nothing against you
Put it away away away
way away away way
Put it away away away
way away away way
Push yourself
to the edge
When the world’s
Got you down
So unbalanced
So unfair

She did yoga way back in the sixties
It was an eastern thing
She was ahead of her time
He met her some time around eighty-two
He wore a business suit
She made fun of his tie
Divorced twice but doin’ alright
Was this girl’s attitude
Yeah this girl had attitude
She got into some stuff in the seventies
She met a professor, there was a law suit
She didn’t have money to pay the bill
Eighty-two read it afterwards
“Who the hell cares,” he said
They take on the world together
There’s a special kind of sunlight
That creeps through the windows
In nineteen eighty-two
Yeah nineteen eighty-two
Quebec City, nineteen eighty-two
They rented a loft apartment
And drank Pepsis
He took her to parties
She didn’t have money, she didn’t have money
So he helped buy her groceries
They steamed mussels for New Years
“Don’t worry, I’ll go back to school
And then we’ll be happy.”
She said in eighty-three
Yeah nineteen eighty-three
One day his mother called
She was a crazy one
He had to go back home
She didn’t know just where he was from
Somewhere in Europe maybe
No, she didn’t really know
In nineteen eighty-three
She hasn’t seen him since eighty-three
She said she might look him up on Facebook
But somehow I doubt it
Yeah somehow I doubt it

Will we wait for days
Just to be next to each other
And we hold on close to the
Moments that we have
It was me who froze and
You just wonder
How we can't believe we
Don't know each other
How do I say I love you?
How do I say I love you?
Will we wait till we've lost
One thing or another
Till we find the words to
Express ourselves

Among The Stars

Whipping cream and tea
You take the frozen aisle
I’ll get the coffee
If that’s all we need
We’d better be going
And then you and I can quietly confer
And try to understand the universe
We’ll plot our lives among the stars
Between hanging up the laundry
And unloading the car
We’ll map our way to outer space
Between cherishing our Fridays
And letting Sundays go to waste
It’s all so ordinary
What is ordinary?
Nothing’s wrong
Can you really say
That it’s all right?
Everybody knows
That where we are
Is nowhere
Just because
It’s been this way
Doesn’t make it right
Times are hard
But at least we’re
Alive
Drury misery
Never liked fall much
And it’s getting colder
Nothing’s on TV
Why am I not surprised
But at least this couch is big enough for two
And I can think of something we should do
Nothing’s wrong
Nothing’s wrong
No, no, nothing’s wrong
No really nothing’s wrong
Help me out
I’d like to say
That it’s alright
Everybody knows
That this place
Ain’t nowhere
Just because
It’s been this way
Doesn’t make it right
Times are hard
But at least we’re
Alive
