Headlights

Is there something wrong with me?
I can’t even tell which way I’m headed
I keep losing my sanity
And my sense of direction
I got everything I wanted
But what did it take to get here?
Was it really all worth it
or would I do anything different?
I got what I wanted
but what did it take to get here
and will it tear me apart?
Sometimes I think I have it figured out
Until I get sent flying sideways
Don’t know if where I’m going is wrong or right
I only see a few feet in front of my headlights
Staring at the cars from the hill
Are they moving in a line or in a circle?
Do the drivers have control?
Or is there just a hand pushing them forward?
I got everything I wanted
But what did it take to get here?
Was it really all worth it
or would I do anything different?
I got what I wanted
but what did it take to get here
and will it tear me apart?
Sometimes I think I have it figured out
Until I get sent flying sideways
Don’t know if where I’m going is wrong or right
I only see a few feet in front of my headlights
I’m tired of driving in circles every night
I might fall asleep at the wheel and drift over the center line

Up on the hillside
Overlooking the valley below
Sunbeams frame your face
Lying in the evening glow
A hummingbird beats its wings
Behind my head, under the pines
A spitting image of us
Reflects in the mirror of its eyes
If you were that hummingbird
You wouldn’t need to look for any more flowers
And if I was a towering tree
You could build your house around me
I try to stay silent
But the hummingbird flies away
I don’t want to talk too much
Just want to listen to what you have to say
The sunbeams are tilting down
And turning pink
Our bodies lay in the grass
I feel my weight start to sink
If you were that hummingbird
You wouldn’t need to look for any more flowers
And if I was a towering tree
You could build your house around me
But I can’t stay here forever
I’ll disappear behind the hill like the sun
But in a year or three
You could build your house around me

Just Keep Wasting
02:53

I woke up this morning
Felt like someone was watching me
Underneath a microscope
I couldn’t fall back asleep
So I’m dragging my legs off the floor
and lifting my body weight
while I circle round and round until
I fall in a hypnotic state
I just keep on wasting time
No matter what I try
I just keep on wasting
the only time that I have
until it all runs out
I cannot do anything
while staring at a blank page
If I wasn’t so critical
I’d be half a world away
I could really stand to make some friends
but they all seem so distant
and I wouldn’t feel the need to shout
if I just started listening
Instead I just keep on wasting time
No matter what I try
I just keep on wasting
the only time that I have
until it all runs out
I don’t want to be alone
This is all so wrong
I should just give somebody a call
and find a way to feel something
Cause I don’t want to be alone
and this is all so wrong
I should give somebody a call
and find a way to feel something

Drift Away
04:10

I go to walk
to clear my head
but down the street
carved in cement
I see your name
I chip it away
but it won’t leave.
You changed your job
you’re moving up
I drive my car
to where the road
meets the edge
of the rocky shore
and curves back around.
If I could
I’d grab an axe
chop some wood
and build a raft
Set out to sea
on my own
and drift away.
Faster than lightning
but still as a tower
with one foot in quicksand
and the other swept by a windstorm
I would grab your hand, but
I don’t want to pull you in
My body splitting in two
do I sink here or drift away?
Maybe the wind
swirls back around
or maybe you
get swept my way
As I fly
I’ll try to forget
and drift away
