I met you through a common friend
In the attic of my parents house
And though I didn't know it then
I soon was finding out
You are the roots that sleep beneath my feet
And hold the earth in place
The water runs away
And I hear your name
No, nothing has changed
There was this book I read and loved
The story of a ship
Who sailed around the world and found
That nothing else exists
Beyond his own two sails
And wooden shell
And what is held within
All else is sure to pass
And debate what's truly permanent
But when the wind starts to shift
There's no argument
I sing and drink and sleep on floors
And try hard not to be annoyed
So when I'm suffering through some awful drive
You occasionally cross my mind
Well are you?
Oh, you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet
And hold the earth in place
Sunlight pours in
A lifetime melts away
And we share a name
On some picturesque grave

Well morning came
And it dressed the sky
In a lovely yellow gown
In that narrow hallway of downtown
Their lovers and their friends
Saying they won't e...
I picked you out
Of a crowd and talked to you
I said, "I like your shoes"
You said, "Thanks can I follow you?"
So it's up the stairs and out of view

If you could change your days, arranging them in some sweet new sequence
Like any new arrangement's gonna make a difference
Cause it's the moment that...
We must talk in every telephone, get eaten off the web
We must rip out all the epilogues from the books that we have read
Into the face of every cri...
I know that it is freezing, but I think we have to walk
I keep waving at the taxis, they keep turning their lights off
But Julie knows a party at some...
First with your hands and then with your mouth
A downpour of sweat, damp cotton clouds
I was a fool, you were my friend
We made it happen
You took off...
You can make a plan
Carve it into stone
Like a feather falling
It is still unknown
Says it's time to go
You could choose the high
Or the lower road
Yo...
