The Driving Song

You get up,
You're ready to head out.
You get up,
You wake. It's the middle of the night.
And you can't go away this time.
You get back,
You toss and you turn,
and you dont know,
How much you've got to learn.
But you can't stay awake this time.
You step back,
you're ready to go home.
You step back
you stop, just take a look around.
Theres no one left here in this town
You get up
your eyes are all blurred,
you sit up you shake,
But never say a word.
Of where you go when you're asleep.
You get up,
you're ready to head out.
You get up
you wake, its the middle of the night.
And you can't go away this time.

22 is a blue, blue year.
Don’t count the days or they disappear.
And I thought 23’d be more,
Like something I was looking for.
Everything I tried,
Kept you up at night.
22 is a blue, blue year,
You know I’m being honest here.
And you said 23 for sure,
Was better than the year before.
Everything I tried,
Kept you up at night.
But 22 is a blue blue year.
If you count the days they’ll disappear.
You said 23 for sure,
Would be more like what I’m looking for,
Or better than the one before,
And I don’t really know, any more.

The Dancer

There's dancers in the night.
And all that she took, was all that was right with me.
There's something in her eyes,
That makes all your problems fall down beside her.
There's songbirds in the night.
And all of his songs were sung to the dancer's beat.
There's melodies in the sky.
They float through the air and make you feel alive.
She's light on her feet,
She skips down the stairs while you struggle to keep the pace.
There's dancers in the night.
And all that she took was all that was right with me.

When you fell down in the dark,
and this place was filled with parking lot lights.
You dressed up for the storm,
You kept your head down and you stayed inside.
But if this world is not your friend tonight, you'll be alright.
When you laid down in the cold,
and your fingertips were frozen like ice.
You said it's nothing anymore.
And when it's over it all turns out fine.
But if this world is not your friend tonight, you'll be alright.
And of everything you know tonight.
When you fell down in the dark,
and this place was filled with quiet all night.
You put your face into the storm.
And when it's over it will be alright.
