And the moon's laying low in the sky
Forcing everything metal to shine
And the sidewalk holds diamonds like a jewelry store case
They argue, walk this way, no, walk this way
'Take my time
Not my life
Wait for signs
Believe in lies
To get by
It's divine'

Sometimes, i feel like i can do anything
Sometimes i'm so alive...so alive
Sometimes, i feel like i can swim ‘cross the sky
Sometimes, i wanna cry
Most people try to aim to please
But a lot of them are kinda weak at the knees
Learnin' late about the birds and the bees
Fallin' in love and wanna be set free
Playin' ball at the age of thirteen
Everybody's growin' up with a dream
I never noticed what could happen to me
Time flies when your walkin' the streets
One minute gotcha holdin' an ace
The next minute gotcha fall on yer face
A mean city is a nasty place
Only a rat can win a rat race!
Peace to the people who be fallin' away
To make it home today
And peace to the people who be tryin' to find
Some kinda life ....Michael Franti...song...SOMETIMES
Peace

Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you... hell within
And you know you have it still, heaven inside you
So theres problems in your life
Thats fucked up, but youre not blind
Youre just see through faded, overrated
And out of your mind
You'll be free child once you have died
from the shackles of language and measurable time
And then we can trade places, play musical graves
till then walk away walk away walk away walk away
I only smoke weed when I need to,
And I need to get some some rest, where's the sex?
I confess, I burned a hole in the mattress
Yes yes it was me, I plead guilty
And at the count of three I pull back the duvet
Make my way to the refrigerator
One dry potato inside, no lie, not even bread, jam
When the light above my head went bam
She will promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
Seven times removed
From the ones who thought they had you down
But don't it go to prove
Nothing cuts you like the lies of a friend
So hold it in your hand, yeah
'Cause you can't just switch it off

I found a liquid cure
From my landlocked blues
It’ll pass away like a slow parade
It’s leaving but I don’t know how soon
Not my life

And if there was a reason
It was you'
Heaven beside you... hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... hell within

Heaven beside you... hell within

So theres problems in your life
Thats fucked up, but youre not blind
Youre just see through faded, overrated
And out of your mind
I couldn't meet em so you cut off my fingers....
one by one.
All the years
So many ways to count the tears
I never change
I never will
Im so afraid the way I feel
Days when the rain and the sun are gone
Black as night
Agonys torn at my heart too long
So afraid
Slip and I fall and I die
I been alone
Always down
No one cared to stay around
I never change
I never will
Im so afraid the way I feel
Days when the rain and the sun are gone
Black as night
Agonys torn at my heart too long
So afraid
Slip and I fall and I die
Wish you were here...

I've made mistakes in the past
but now I know the difference
between Gold and Brass
It happens almost all the time
The yard is kinda overgrown
And all those happy times are gone.
Can kill you in the end
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out
If I could be who you wanted,. all the time
And I need to get some some rest, where's the sex?
I confess, I burned a hole in the mattress
Yes yes it was me, I plead guilty
And at the count of three I pull back the duvet
Make my way to the refrigerator
One dry potato inside, no lie, not even bread, jam
When the light above my head went bam
That's the best moment of that song isn't it?
Although, I'm not sure that your third line is correct. It's hard to hear what he's singing. I've seen it written as several different things...
Today and tomorrow have become one
Every single thing has become numb
...Too much is too late
Now I bade a friend farewell
I can do whatever pleases me
It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
Press my face up to the window
To see how warm it is inside
See the things that I've been missing
Missing all this time
In the safety of your home.
We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up
Everything you’ve known.
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
From the ones who thought they had you down
But don't it go to prove
Nothing cuts you like the lies of a friend
So hold it in your hand, yeah
'Cause you can't just switch it off
What more than sorry can I be
Before my love fades away
What more than sorry do you want from me'
