Lyrics

Radio Waves

Uncertain eyes
Ice thin air
Couldn't have guessed it better

You're fading out
Cold blank stare
Couldn't have seen it better

September mist
Melts worn green to grey
Couldn't have felt it better

Summer went too soon
End of our favorite tune
Just couldn't have held together

Fade right in, fade right out
Stray right in, stray right out
Signal's strong, till it frays
Like radio, radio waves

Haven't heard from you
A postcard or two
Said you'll be back for sunnier weather

So I stayed right here
By dusty window sheers
I guess I should've just known better

Fade right in, fade right out
Stray right in, stray right out
Signal's strong, till it frays
Like radio, radio waves

Fade right in, fade right out
Stray right in, stray right out
Signal's strong, till it frays
Like radio, radio waves

You're here for the warm tides
Here for the clear skies
But when autumn looms around
I know it is goodbye

Fade right in, fade right out
Stray right in, stray right out
Signal's strong, till it frays
Like radio, radio waves

Fade right in, fade right out
Stray right in, stray right out
Signal's strong, till it frays
Like radio, radio waves

 


 

Taxi

My heart beats against clustered walls of concrete
Call out for the cab
Second glances
Rain over my mind

As all the lights turn red to green
The streetlights seem to speak
There’s nothing left here
For you to stay behind

My palm grips the worn out door,
Pick up the soles of my shoes
Step right inside got nothing to loose
Lift a heavy sigh as my breath fogs up the glass

Eyes drop to the wheels
Against this pavement floor
They seem to have heard this old story before
So they drive into the night, carry one soul more

I’ve roamed wherever I could
Gone wherever I can
But the winds blowing far too cold
To keep standing where I stand
Lived and learned, loved and lost
Understood I might not understand
I’ve lived every corner on these streets
Taxi, it's time to leave
It's time to leave

I’ve crossed every bridge and gate, every fire escape
Still I’m grounded under my feet
Cause when I know where I’m going, it's time to get going
Before I crash at that glass ceiling

When my skin hits its shards, it leaves scars worse
Than when I first fell and scraped my knees
It’s hard to move from concrete my heart’s a part of
But I’m already in too deep

My palm grips the worn out door,
Pick up the soles of my shoes
Step right inside got nothing to loose
Lift a heavy sigh as my breath fogs up the glass

Eyes drop to the wheels
Against this pavement floor
They seem to have heard this old story before
So they drive into the night, carry one soul more

I’ve roamed wherever I could
Gone wherever I can
But the winds blowing far too cold
To keep standing where I stand
Lived and learned, loved and lost
Understood I might not understand
I’ve lived every corner on these streets
Taxi, it's time to leave
It's time to leave

I’ve taken every ride on every subway train
Stood in a crowd, a million faces, didn’t even know one name
The more things stay the same, the more they need to change
I’ve lived every corner on these streets

I’ve roamed wherever I could
Gone wherever I can
But the winds blowing far too cold
To keep standing where I stand
Lived and learned, loved and lost
Understood I might not understand
I’ve lived every corner on these streets
Taxi, it's time to leave
It's time to leave

 


 

Secrets

Fingertips are dusted
By fragments of burnt pages
Words written, but never quite said

Bound between this ebb and flow
Of what was thought but not known
Perhaps some things aren’t better left unsaid

Guarded secrets
Lock and key
If to forever hold
Is to never let go
Are they meant to be set free?

Faint letters, faded pages
Bound locked away
Abandoned, left behind

Lost the moment or the place
Vanished, gone, erased
Time’s chance has passed, slipped by

Guarded secrets
Lock and key
If to forever hold
Is to never let go
Are they meant to be set free?

Time ticks by, slowly keeping
Time ticks by, locks away     

Guarded secrets
Lock and key
If to forever hold
Is to never let go
Are they meant to be set free?

Are they meant to be set free?
