Into The Big Idea

And the
season's turned
in a silent bottle
And the lightning comes
it's now your turn
And the phases
changed
As you went full throttle
And you realized it's time to learn
To begin
Into the big idea
Can't the your side
Til you see things my way
Let the canyon burn
You're not that hard
Side stepped
the side man
Let up on the load
And you realized it's time to go
To begin
Into the big idea
Into the great unknown
Into the big idea
Hold on
Into the way it was
So let's begin again
Let's begin
Into the big idea
Into the great unknown
Into the big idea
Hold on
Into the way it was

It was a Saturday that I let you in
And from the likes of it the love that you give
Another brilliant lie
So tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
It was a Saturday that I let you go
You one the lottery I think that you know
Another brilliant sky
So tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
There's a billion stars in the sky
So tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
There's a billion stars in the sky
So tell me why

Day after day we hide out from the bright lights
It's hard when you're away
We stare out at the bright lights
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Zoom in I see all your faces
Young hearts they know all the places
This time I think they're gonna change it
It's hard but we can rearrange it
Day after night
Loneliest flight
The bright lights fade away
The bright lights fade away
Lately I feel disconnected
Lost hope can we reconnect
This time now we resurrect it
Harsh words gonna deflect it
Day after night
Loneliest flight
Don't wanna fight
The bright lights fade away
The bright lights fade away
The bright lights fade away

So much pain I feel
Despite my prayers to the Lord (or lord?)
So much time to heal
Still it rages on
And oh, there's a light creeping in
I know, I'll do the same things again
I walk the same line as you
So much I see
So much you wouldn't want to be me
In this big city
I just want to be set free
And oh, there's a light creeping in
I know, I'll do the dame thing again
I walk the same line as you
As you
As you
There's a light
There's a light creeping in
I'll do the same things again
The same line as you
As you
As you
As you
There's a light
There's a light, creeping in
I know, I'll do the same things again
I walk the same line as you
As you

Go
04:30
|
|||
|
No I'm not a perfect man
Blew my top and lost my head
Said I won't let it happen again
Who knows what's in store tomorrow my friend
Go
Go
So this is where I lose my mind
All this sun and the trouble I'll find
Songbird flying in the sky
She whispers to me late at night
Go
Go
Go
Go, away from here...
Think I found God in the desert today
She was another pretty face with nuthin' to say
Took a sharp turn and lost my way
Got stuck in the sand somewhere off of Reche'
Go
Go
Go
Go, away from here...

Yeah God is dead
Never alive
It's in your head
Another lie
You'll climb a mountain
But you gotta climb
And when you get there
They'll be no time
I don't know, I don't know, what to believe in
I don't know, I don't know, what to believe in
Another sky
Another mile
Put on your makeup
And crack a smile
We'll gather forces
Into the wind
No time to read or write
No time to win
I Don't know.... 2x
Yeah you might believe in Buddha
Or maybe Thich Nhat Hanh
maybe Hare Krishna
or maybe Peter Pan
You might go vegan
Or maybe gluten free
but one day you'll be eating meet again
just like me
I heard you went to Michigan
To play that open mic
Then you cut out early
And went for a hike
Drove around the country
Year after year
Just looking out the window
For you to appear
I Don't know...

Sweet Virginia

Sweet Virginia
With a gun in her hand
All the memories and the big goodbyes
Seen the colors change in the palm of her hand
Oh the memories and the purple skies
And I was happy there
And I was happy
Pleased to meet ya, said the man with the sign
He got me out of there in the nick of time
He took me down to the scene of the crime
I haven't seen that spirit since 69
And I was happy there
And I was happy
And I'll change my mind
the further I go
The further I fall behind
Sweet Virginia
With a gun on her hand
All the memories and the big goodbyes
And I was happy
And I was happy
I was happy, there
Goodbye

No One Knows
03:30
|
|||
|
Life keeps changing everyday
It's rearranging the same old play
We're always chasing til' we run away
No one knows anyway
We get together then we're all alone
Wanna talk but don't pick up the phone
We move to the city then we come back home
No one knows
No one knows
Yeah we see it in a movie
Hear it on the news
Somebody got shot and we're all confused
These modern times man they're giving me the blues
No one knows or has a clue
Yeah we keep on rolling
That's what we do
Yeah we keep on rolling
That's what we do
Yeah you keep on rolling, that's what you do
Yeah you wanna be happy but you gotta feel the pain
So you keep taking these pills so you don't go insane
And you wanna keep quiet while you're chasing the fame
No one knows anyway
So just look up the stars and the milky way
There's somebody out there so they say
And who knows where we go when we pass away
No one knows anyway
No one knows
No one knows

State Line
08:02
|
|||
|
I want a straight line
but it's still curving
Been stuck at the state line
Are you still there?
Pages and arrows
Keep on turning
Into the bright lights
Burning
Somebody help me out from here
Been talking to fools
Still learning
Somebody tell me who I am
I walked in the meadow
Was hoping to see you
I picked a flower
So beautiful
I wanted to show you
But I didn't...
Into the bright lights
Burning
Somebody help me out from here
Been talking to fools
Still learning
Somebody tell me who I am
I’m stuck at the state line
