Indigo Sky
Sidelines
Only You
Remember
Good Night
Better Day
Parallels
Don't You
Invisible Line
Remind Me
I find again that you and I
Don’t fit quite right, that we’re bending in our skins
I find again that you and I
Are blinded both and prisoners of the wind
Like mirrors spinning off this life
And the dawn that we tried to fight
I find again that you and I
Are blinded both but eye to eye
CHORUS
We were treading water when we might have been flying
And the night kept passing as the sun it kept rising high
Into an indigo sky
In all the world, in all of life
Will our words remain as echoes of our time
For every day and every night
Will be lost in clocks, in music, and in rhyme
Like lights that run on all our nerves
And the people that we serve
In every day and every night
We are star-crossed, we are life
Repeat CHORUS
Fall on you, fall on me
The sky’s been falling for weeks and weeks
A subtle skin that never breathes
I find again that you and I see differently
Repeat CHORUS
We were treading water when we decided to fly
And the night kept passing, as the sun it started to rise
And it rose so high into an indigo sky
We were flying high into an indigo sky
She never got the hang of him
She says, “This is not a threat”
She got hung up on what might have been
Yeah, her voice said something else
Funny ‘cause she’s on his mind the better part of all the time
And if she knew, what would she do?
She says, “Heaven and Hell lead straight to you”
CHORUS
He’s waiting for the ignorant bliss to kick in
She says, “I’ll tell you, I’m not gonna miss
Thinking that it’s love, and then thinking
‘Maybe next time’”
He’s sinking low, low as her voice on the line
She says, “I was never yours
And I wouldn’t have called you mine
If love’s a game, you’re standing on the sidelines”
“I’m not playing games,” he said.
She says, “That’s not how it feels.
I would’ve trusted you with my life,” she said
“But I can’t convince myself that you’re for real”
Funny how she grips the phone
Whispers though there’s no one home
Her anxiety is plain to see, and he sees so clearly
Repeat CHORUS
He says, “I think that the problem lies
In you not making up your mind
These excuses sound like lies,” he said
“The only game is in your head”
She’s waiting for reality to sink in
He says, “I’ll tell you now, I’m not gonna miss
Thinking we’re all right
No, baby, there’s no next time”
She’s sinking low, low as her own voice on the line
He says, “I will agree. I’m not yours and you’re not mine
And if love’s a game, you’re standing on the sidelines
If love’s a game, baby, we’re standing on opposite sides
And love’s NOT a game, but if it were
We’d be standing on the sidelines”
I’m spinning round, I’m freaking out
Now I’m calming down, but what’s this about
Only you would know, only you would care
Only you would try, only you would dare
And only you take me there
CHORUS
So if I say I’m mad, it’s just a dream I had
And I can’t remember what it was about
So if I speak of love, it’s you I’m thinking of
I was trapped and you let me, you let me out
But only you would know that I was truly scared
Let that winter blow, I’m too far gone to care
And only you take there
Now I’m turning back, I can’t go on
No, not without you
‘Cause you’re right on track, you can’t go wrong
But only you could say, ‘cause only you could see
The damage done today, the damage done to me
And only you believe
Repeat CHORUS
Only you could say, ‘cause only you could see
That I was so afraid, but now I believe
Now I believe
Now I believe
Repeat CHORUS
BackI lay down on the carpet with my ear to the floor
Yeah, I waited for the thunder
But I couldn’t feel it anymore, no
You hid behind your beauty, yeah your glittering trash
Now I waited for you to wake up
For every avenue in you to crash
I was singing
Do you remember, do you remember
Oh, the dull drums were shaking the street
Do you remember now, do you, do you remember
How I got up from the floor and I got to my feet
And the walls came down inside of me
You can smile like things are gorgeous
‘Cause you’re the last one to know
That everyone who’s tried to help you
Got stuck with your gatekeeper’s toll
And yes, they froze in the snow
So go on, dull out my reactions
‘Til I’m gray to the bones
I wanna keep you to myself
I wanna tell you to leave me alone
Oh, but then I remember, and yes, I remember
The nicer spontaneity
Oh, and yes I remember, oh I, oh I remember
On the brighter side of my memory
How the walls came down but lovingly
I’m falling into the void you wear
It’s my last attempt to meet you there
So remind me of the things I believe
Come find me, I’ll take away the scathing air you breathe
And then you’ll remember, yes, you will remember
Oh, the dull drums were shaking the street
Oh, and I know you remember now, do you, do you remember
How I got up from the floor and I got to my feet
And the walls came down inside of me
How we rejected every apology
How you’ll never be forgotten in me
Monday moon shining down on my shoes
Filling this empty room with sky-fire
With dreamy hues, we dance ‘til your hands, they lose
All sense of you, they melt into me
Every shade of blue
CHORUS
Good time, feel me, sunlight will get you gone
Touch light, steal me, I’ll be singing this song
Of love by moonlight, good night
Every sound echoes and shakes the ground
Now honey, we’re out of bounds, and we know it, but
Oh the taste of you reminds me of silent truth
Now the earth, it don’t shake, I’m safe while you’re here
While no one’s awake
Repeat CHORUS
BackYou tell me not to go like you need me so
Well, I already know, I already know
Tell me that we need to talk
Well, you could talk your head right off
And maybe I’d be better, I’d be better off
So it’s been real, so it’s been fine
If fine means hating the way I feel
If real means going out of my mind
CHORUS
I, I, I have had enough of this
I, I, I just wanna be okay
I, I, I have a feeling that you won’t be missed
I, I, I’m looking for a better day
Oh no, don’t you make that face
Like your world has been erased
Someone’ll take my place
Someone’ll take your place
I know how these things can be
Yeah, it’s an awful place to be
But you’ll be okay, that is eventually
So though I feel your pain, at the end of the night…
Repeat CHORUS
Hey, I, I
I’m gonna be okay
Hey, I, I…
This is me saying goodbye (I, I)
This is me telling you why (I, I)
This is me wanting life…
Yeah
Repeat CHORUS
Hey, I, I
I, I
I, I…
This is me saying goodbye
I get this mixed up with every single time
Oh, that I wondered out loud about your real life
Some kind of phantom warped that reality
So that it seemed a dream, even to a dreamer like me
Don’t stop this now, if pride is all you have left
Don’t stop this now, don’t be that hard on yourself
Now I’ve been thinking that I think far too much
This is an awkward situation, but you tend not to see it as such
Some kind of reverie, it put into my head
The fact that soon you will be leaving
And it’s uncertain that you’ll see me again
I won’t stop this now, my pride is all I have left
I won’t stop this now, I won’t be that hard on myself
These are perfect parallels, these are perfect parallels
But these are hurtful parallels
And they hurt much more than anything else
That I, that I have ever felt
Now I’ll keep waiting for the axe to fall
Oh, now it occurs to me that maybe
We have never really spoken at all
So can we stop this now, to keep this ship from sinking
Can we please stop this now
And put and end to the end of this circular thinking
I’ve got silhouettes painted from the night
We stayed up talking ‘til three
I’ve got stories to tell, adapted from nightmares
And days that might have been dreams
What unearthly fluctuations, what a habit so strange
Now, I’ve been static forever, so it’s you who changed
CHORUS
You don’t look, don’t you even try
Now I’m caught up every time that you look my way
And you fake a smile
You don’t touch, don’t you say goodbye
‘Cause every look makes me mad
And unpleasantly high at the same time
And I forget why I started in the first place
And why I’m still trying
Don’t you even try
You’ve got a lot of nerve, though I know you pretend
That you’re innocent through and through
Well I’ve got a bone to pick
With the fact that you don’t even know me
Until you so choose
What unnecessary friction, what a dazzling flame
I didn’t know I was losing
Because it shouldn’t have been a game
Repeat CHORUS
Oh, you’re a trip, you’re a trap
You’re nothing more than what you do
You’re an act, you’re a slap in the face
‘Cause I’ve done nothing to you
So if you walk, walk away
God knows I’ll come back to you
You don’t know how brutal you are, do you
Repeat CHORUS
And you’ve got quite a way with words
But that don’t excuse the lying
So don’t you, won’t you even try
I came upon an invisible line
And I learned to prefer the tangible kind
But then I remembered the desert stars
And the snaking headlights of the highway’d cars
I came upon a jagged stone
And I twisted and turned, and then it left me alone
But then I remembered the light on your face
When you told me that maybe
Life was going to take some time
When I crossed that invisible line
I lost all track of the time
And I blinked and you were far away
So I breathed and found another way to change my mind
And I crossed back over that invisible line
I came upon a shaking man
And I wanted so badly to understand
But he looked at me sideways, and he looked at me straight
And through him I saw myself in a pitiful state of mind
And then I crossed that invisible line
And I lost all track of the time
And I blinked and you were far away
So I breathed and found another way to realign
And I crossed back over that invisible line
I’ve come upon this darkening scene
And I want so badly to know what it means
But I know you’ll never answer me
I don’t know how you thought
That we could be just fine, on the other side
Of that invisible line
When you crossed that invisible line
I watched you lose all track of the time
And I blinked and you were far away
So I breathed and found another way to change your mind
And you walked back over that invisible line
That invisible line
That invisible line
You take off your temper, you always leave it by the door
You love me, and when you leave me
Then you pick it up once more
Now I’m tracing your bruises that I’ve never seen before
You remind me to breathe, you remind me to be
You remind me, you remind me
CHORUS
Oh no, it’s not just a dream
Of love and life and star-lit nights and sunbeams
Oh no, and I’m not just what they see
And that’s what you remind me of
The saddest song I’ve come to love
That’s what you remind me, that’s what you remind me
I’ll wash away your anger until you’re tender and you’re true
Yeah, I’ll kiss away your tragedy
Now it’s the least that I can do
‘Cause I, I want you dreaming
I wanna sing lullabies to you
You remind me to be what I wish I could be
You remind me, you remind me
Repeat CHORUS
