sunlight hit our faces, i was driving
and i know i'll have to drop you off
and maybe i will try to miss the exit
but i know i'll have to drop you off
and maybe i will see you next week tuesday
and maybe we can do the same old thing again
i'll order coffee, wait for you to get here soon
so you can tell me all about your week
we're outside of your house at 4 a.m
and i know you have to go to bed
and maybe we can stall the conversation
but i know you have to go to bed
and maybe i can see you next week thursday
and maybe you can beat me at another game
we'll go to dinner, show me all your favorite songs
i've always been a fan of neil young
sunset hit the mountains on the drive home
i know i'll have to drop you off
and maybe i can take the long way there
but i know i'll have to drop you off

mom i'm tired
can i sleep in your house tonight?
mom is it alright if i stay for a year or two?
mom i'll be quiet
it would be just to sleep at night
and i'll leave once i figure out how to pay for my own life too
mom will you wash my back this once and then we can forget?
and i'll leave what i'm chasing for the other boys to pursue
mom am i still young?
can i dream for a few months more?

stained glass windows

you tell me how you hate those stained glass windows
we tried to solve a puzzle, once piece gone
you tell me how the art is so damn bad
and i agree cause you know more
and i don't want to go to school
i don't need that text at all
and all my friends ditch halfway through
and all that's left is me at home
we walked around, you never knew what hit you
the same routines aren't the same no more
you wanted me to postpone that one question
and maybe that's where i went wrong
and i don't want to go to school
i don't need that text at all
and all my friends ditch halfway through
and all that's left is me at home
and all that's left is leaving you
cause all you want is something more

bein homesick

i had a bike but then i broke it
now it's somewhere in the shed
so then i walked to every family fare
now i drive, now i drive
swim in that river, watch her go
my baby's caught the biggest flu
bein homesick, bein homesick
see my old friends, they're getting gasoline
from a fella by the speedway
and they bought all the works and candy
and it repeats, and it repeats
swim in that river, watch her go
my baby's caught the biggest flu
bein homesick, bein homesick
see my old friends on top the hill again
yeah i drive moments just to get there
and it looks vibrant like a summer's day
in the fields, in the fields
see my old friends on top the hill again
yeah i drive moments just to get there
and it looks vibrant like a summer's day
in the fields, in the fields

goodbye to my santa monica dream
fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine
you tell me stories of the sea
and the ones you left behind
goodbye to the roses on your street
goodbye to the paintings on the wall
goodbye to the children we'll never meet
and the ones we left behind
i'm somewhere, you're somewhere
i'm nowhere, you're nowhere
you're somewhere, you're somewhere
and i can go there, but i don't
i'm in the kitchen making pizza
somewhere down in battery park
i'm singing songs about the future
wondering where you are
i could call you on the telephone
do i really wanna know?
you're making love now to the new boy down the road
no i don't, i don't wanna know
i'm somewhere, you're somewhere
i'm nowhere, you're nowhere
i'm somewhere, i'm somewhere
and i can go there, but i don't
goodbye to my santa monica dream
fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine
you tell me stories of the sea
and the ones we left behind
and the ones we left behind

if i could be baby where you are
if i could be baby where you are
if i could see baby what you see
then i would know baby what you know
just to be baby where you are
if i could go baby where you go
if i could know baby what you know
then i could see baby what you see
just to be baby where you are
just to see baby where you are
then i would know baby where to go
just to be baby where you are
just to be baby where you are

i know that it is freezing but i think we have to walk
keep waving at the taxis, they keep turning their lights off
but julie knows a party at some actor's west side loft
supplies are endless in the evening, by the morning they'll be gone
when everything is lonely, i can be my own best friend
i get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations
with the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection
the mask i polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit
and i know you have a heavy heart
i can feel it when we kiss
so many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
but me i'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split
the love i sell you in the evening, by the morning won't exist
you're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black
just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right back
well it takes one to know one kid, i think you've got it bad
but what's so easy in the evening, by the morning's such a drag
i've got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train
and if you promise to stay conscious i will try and do the same
yeah we might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain
what was normal in the evening, by the morning seems insane
and i'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this
the reasons all have run away but the feeling never did
it's not something i would recommend but it is one way to live
it's cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is
yeah it was simple in the moonlight, now it's so complicated
it was so simple in the moonlight
so simple in the moonlight
so simple in the moonlight
