Lightbulb 03:46
I feel your mind like a lightbulb a floating glowing ball of white your particles come flooding my skull feeling for the holes inside Everything switched on and alive! I watch your voice and count the clouds fall There seems a million brilliant kinds I touch your noise and call you “Lightbulb” Your humming whurrs around my life Everything switched on and alive!

Daydream 03:14
Inside the daydream we use our wings to speak and the color’s always changing inside the blurry memory where I listen to your daydream until my mind’s too full to speak and the heart is always changing you move your fingers on the strings And the song still stays the same and the song won’t ever change inside the daydream Inside the daydream you freed the raccoons from the cage that your uncle had been keeping as a boy beside a trailer far away and you stare into the ceiling and you see everything your mind wants you to see while the record keeps repeating “Do you ever long for love from me?” And the song still stays the same and the song won’t ever change inside the daydream

Bubble 02:32
Pink, green and silver careful maneuvers slow motion, mid-air You spilling into me blood spinning inwardly we are two-liter tornadoes we are marrying ketchup bottles In a bubble In a bubble with you In a bubble with the light coming through The dust in your locket The sage in my pocket to Clear Weather we’ll send everything that crumbles in a box tied on to a rocket You’re staying over my wait is over You’re staying over my wait is over

Pal of Mine 03:07
Darling pal of mine, darling pal of mine ain’t it hard to be alive? Pal of mine The things you must survive, the things you must survive I am always on your side Pal of mine Pal of mine, pal of mine The sun you have inside I’ll help you find I’ll help you find Pal of mine The worries in your mind, the worries in your mind you know they worry mine Pal of mine So let me be a light, let me be a light when your sky in black and white Pal of mine Pal of mine, pal of mine The song you have inside I’ll help you find I’ll help you find Pal of mine Darling pal of mine Darling pal of mine don’t it hurt to be alive? Pal of mine And it takes a long long time, it takes a long long time but I’ll be by your side Pal of Mine

Storm 02:57
I didn’t listen and I didn’t care When you stormed over my skin inside your blue dark I wasn’t there It wasn’t fair You don’t desearve it You put your pretty things around my head and said your love was like the water in the ocean but twice as thick and infinite but I don’t desearve it There are places that you will come to where there are flowers, fun and many many oceans filled for you without the blue and I won’t belong there

Life's got a hole in it Life's got a hole But don't go crazy trying to fill it It's probably gonna kill ya Life's got a hole in it But don't mistake it for a darkness and don't go waiting for a sign and don't spend all your days in night like you're already out of time but try now to decide that it's time for you to try and don't forget that you were born with a mind without a limit Life's got a hole in it Life's got a hole But there's a way to get around it tell me when you've found it Life's got a hole in it But don't pretend you don't exist just because there's something more that you wanted to be doing than what you're doing on your floor and don't throw your life away because it's not all happy days if you believe that it can change you'll change it in a minute Life's got a hole in it Life's got a hole But don't go crazy trying to fill it It's probably gonna kill ya Life's got a hole in it Try not to fall in it

Small Space 02:05
I hope you and I someday will find ourselves trapped in a small space Though the world is wide I hope we're confined somewhere close in a small space where I can finally say to you all the things that I never said to you and you can scream until you're blue if that's what you need to do I wish you could see my TV fantasy of us trapped in a small space At last we could get to the bottom of it when we're trapped in a small space Where you could finally tell the truth in all the places where you never told the truth Be so much better if I knew yeah, that's what you need to do No reason to pretend so long after the end when we're trapped in a small space yeah, your heart's heart would mend we'd be friends again when we're trapped in a small space And I could finally say to you all the things that I never said to you and you could scream until you're blue if that's what you need to do

Wonder 03:01
You've got a cold heart heavier than a stone You've got a sadness that won't leave you alone You've got a picture burning bright in your brain and now you wonder when it's going away But sometimes you're so happy you could cry and then sometimes you're so sad that you might die you might die you might die you might die But you can wonder and lie awake at night and you can wonder whether you were right you can wonder you can wonder you can wonder baby if you like You've got a distance wider than a great lake You've got a new ghost that you can't seem to shake You've got a strangeness that you know like your name and now you wonder if you're even the same But sometimes you're so happy you could cry and then sometimes you're so sad that you might die you might die you might die But you can wonder and lie awake at night and you can wonder whether you were right you can wonder you can wonder you can wonder baby if you like you can wonder you can wonder you can wonder baby if you like

True love will find you in the end you'll find out just who was your friend don't be sad i know you will but don't give up until true love will find you in the end This is a promise with a catch only if you're looking will it find you 'cause true love is searching too but how can it recognize you unless you step out into the light don't be sad I know you will but don't give up until true love will find you in the end
