First aid kit

There's a city, on the top of the mountains
I used to go there as a child
And there's a forgotten forest there
Full of those drunken trees
They look like they're falling apart you know
Just like the people there, those fools
Oh no, don't get me wrong it's, it's a wonderful place
I'm actually headed towards the mountains right now
My train should arrive any minute now
You can follow me if you want
I mean if you have time

Birds are leaving over here

I saw them sail away
They looked just like saints
Little one

I heard myself whisper your name
I was asleep in a dream
Then you woke me up
Little sun

The way you look at me now
These lights that used to shine
I've been blowing them out
Little one

Well I remember those few nights
When the sky it stared right back at us
Felt so small standing next to you
Little moon

Yeah you cooked his dinners
You raised his children
Still he's not satisfied
He says "I'd rather switch with you
You don't know how hard it is
To work from 9 to 5"

But he speaks with his eyes closed
And even though you're not all alone
He's never there to be with you
And you remember when you were young
When life was new and it was fun
Now every corner's filled with dust

But you're not coming home tonight

You just took the train
And you left without a wave
Figured he'd never let you leave anyway
And now you're sitting on that train
Seeing life in a new way
And every forest sings a song

One for the heartbroken lovers
And one for the dreamers
And then there's one just for you
The winds been humming on it all day
Ans the soil lies awake
Waiting for it's drum solo

'Cause you're not coming home tonight

The ship is sailing
I'll meet you on the other side
The future's unclear
But hopefully it will be fine

You're not coming home tonight

Another buisness trip
Another reason to stay away
You're coming home on monday, smelling Tangerine

They say that I should leave you
Yeah, go and find someone new
Who doesn't love a girl that smells like Tangerine

I'm not going to beg just say please, please, please
Be good to me

This happens to all of us
Apparently I'm not good enough
I can't make you laugh like Tangerine

And you say; "but I'm still here
That proves that I love you dear"
Late at night you come home smelling Tangerine

I'm not going to beg just say please, please, please
Be good to me

I see the animals run past me
You know me better than the wind
Let me open the door for you
You might see the sun
Your little mama and your papa
They'll sing lullabies for you

And the seals are singing jagadamba
Coconut trees are swinging jagadamba

The reasons for this fight's forgiven
Yet we still don't want to lose
But, kid, don't tell me that you're frightened
This war begun long before you were born

And the gods are denying jagadamba
When the wind's not lying jagadamba

Let's not spill the truth
It's easier being alone
You're a shadow of the old
And I want something new

You've quit dreaming again
I can see it now clear
But I'll wake up every morning
With the big black and the blue

Let's take this for what it is
You tell me you have changed
Well we all change in our own ways
In our own pretty ways

La da da da da da
La da da da da da

It all comes down to this
I'm an ocean, you're the rain
The ice is melting fast
But you're not pulling down the brakes

You'll start drinking again
I can see it now clear
How you'll wake up every morning
With a new bird in your cage

Even the most peaceful town
Once was a battle ground
Well we all change in our own ways
In our own pretty ways

Even in our police state
Someone dares to demonstrate
Well we fight in our own ways
But nothing ever change

La da da da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da da da

Is it your fear of losing
That makes you go further?
What makes me wonder, friend
Is how you get away with your lies
'Cause maybe you have noticed
That I appreciate your company
And every time you have to go
I regret I didn't let you know
I could love you

And when you hung up the phone
I realized I was alone
And I can't help it
You're so beautiful
I can't help it
You're so beautiful

You may have seen the world, dear
But you don't know me
That's why all of this seems so absurd
I lie awake at night
Picturing me and you
I wish I could make it all clear and you'd see
I could love you

And soon the fall is here
Turning us cold
And I can't help it
You're so beautiful
I can't help it
You're so beautiful

Oh, oh, oh, oh, the morning light
But the demons they come at night
I want to be your appetite
I want to be your good dreams
Your bad dreams
I can't help it
You're so beautiful

There's something about you
That I'm never going to find out
I want to live that life again
I want to live that life again

The way that you say things
So they sound so right
I want to cross oceans
I want to cross oceans

But everything I say I keep in the wrong side of my mouth
And when the words come out they don't sound anything like
I imagined, 'cause I imagined

It feels like I am
Waiting for the rain
I want to live that life again
I want to live that life again

Or an endless secret
Parade of change
I want to cross oceans
I want to cross oceans

Stare at the ground a second to long then it's gone
And everything I can see looks nothing like
I imagined, 'cause I imagined

I want to cross oceans

Wanderers this morning came by
Where did they go
Graceful in the morning light
To banner fair
To follow you softly
In the cold mountain air

Through the forest
Down to your grave
Where the birds wait
And the tall grasses wave
They do not
know you anymore

More More More

Dear shadow alive and well
How can the body die
You tell me everything
Anything true

In the town one morning I went
Staggering through premonitions of my death
I don't see anybody that dear to me

Dear shadow alive and well
How can the body die
You tell me everything
Anything true

Jesse
I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself to a demon
I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself to a demon
