Once Again

When it comes, it comes like this
Hits you like an elephant
And you’re dead in its tracks
When it bleeds, it bleeds like this
Cauterize a paper cut
But you cut it off, you threw it away
You caught me by surprise once again
Once again
When you want, you want like this:
Right away and hurry up!
Is there anything else that you need, madam?
When you go, you go like this
You make a scene of everything
You blew it up, you threw it away
You caught me by surprise once again
Once again
You’re such a drama queen
The jury’s out, but the court ain’t fooled
You sit on your throne just like a drama queen
Who's got no one left to rule
Once again

I can feel you, I don’t want to
In the cross hairs with my pants down
Eating my words, one by one
I’ll get away, failure
Out of this place, failure
One more day, failure
I’ll be okay, failure
I can see you slipping through the cracks
Hiding in the tracks
I don’t want this anymore
In the water, kicking up for air
And I find it for the first time in a long time
I’ll get away, failure
There’s no point to stay, failure
God gave you away, failure
It’s hard to explain, failure
Failure

If I could only read your mind, would you comfort me?
I want to be balanced
What have you done to me?
Are you feeling a little unchallenged?
Where do you go from me?
Any time now I’m gonna fall over
What do you want from me? And do I have it?
But you’re silent
Why do you boggle me?
If I could only read your mind, would you comfort me?

Skywalking

Oo, baby you’re rolling
But where are you going?
You’re looking like you’re looking for a little bit of ____
You ain’t bad and you know it
You just like to show it
And you wear it so good
You got a chip on your shoulder
Are you getting older?
A little bit colder?
They’ll think what they like but you don’t give a damn
A little light-hearted
But still kind of guarded
I’ll ask where you go, but I know
you’re skywalking
Skywalking
Good god senorita
I’d love you to see ya
When they come out to meet ya
Yeah, you’ll take ‘em downtown
You’re done winning them over
Now they’re such a bore
It’s just a trick up your sleeve
But they think you got the answer
You’re smoking that cancer
Turned into a dancer
If they question your moves they’re going down, down, down
A little light-hearted(ly)
But still kind of guarded(ly)
I’ll ask where you go, but I know
you’re skywalking
Skywalking
You’re killing me
You’re killing me
But I’m liking it
You’re killing me
You’re killing me
I’m dead on the floor
while you’re probably
You’re probably
skywalking
Skywalking

Dreams eroding eroding dreams
Would you come back to me?
I swear I’ll be closer
I’m just a bit out of sync all the time
Could you come give relief
And make it all better?
I’ve been a bit out of reach / in my mind
my mind’s eroding
Dreams eroding eroding dreams
You can take me to bed
But could you stay longer?
Cause if you leave in the night
Then what will I do?
One more time now
With a little more confidence
I know I’ll do better
You’re opening up my mind
Now what do I do?
God, no, now what do I do?
Dreams eroding eroding dreams
It never even crossed my mind
I think about it all the time
You never even cross my mind
I think about you all the time

Slide across the table
And sweep me off my feet
I’m slow and undeserving darling, I know that
I hear you now
loud
loud
and clear
Did I get a bit lost in your head?
Are you looking for something new?
You said your love for me ain’t going
But I know it is / finally
I hear you / loud and clear

Brasco

I had a dream we were on this strange train, heading far up north, past Saskatchewan, but in this bizarre dream geography, you know?
We were all going to work some job in the North, but the dream only covered the train.
At one point I saw you as a younger man, and I thought back to myself then, too. I thought it was funny how we’d aged.
There was a stop on the route that you told me was a good one, and indeed it was. It brought me to tears.
(I’m not the only one for you)
The farther we went the less gravity seemed to affect us, and the less I felt gravity, the happier I became.
We went through a tunnel on route to a town. It was the end of the line for you, you said. You would be stopping there a while to film your movie.
I asked why you chose this place when the train finally emerged, and I was hit by a warm, glowing, intense orange beauty, and the town was the most spectacular and special place I’d ever seen.
And I knew -
(I’m not the only one for you)
I knew you made the right choice.

I ask and you’re a town away
This might take a minute
Ok
You never had a lot to say
Now I think I’ll take a holiday
Get this off my mind
How’d this happen?
We’re digging up a slow grave
I ask and you’re a town away
This might hurt a bit
Ok
I don’t know what to tell you babe
Now I’ll keep on guessing what to do
To get you off my mind
How’d this happen?
We’re digging up a slow grave
A window to when I needed her to hold me
A window to me standing in a slow grave
A window (hold me, hold me)
A window (in a slow grave)

In a garden
In a cradle
In the wrong
We go on
In a lockstep
Turn in circles
We go on
Come on, just take me to bed
Maybe I put too much thought into the words. The words I wanted you to say, the words I wanted to tell you. But all that time and in the end, you know, the words didn’t really have that much to say.
I know you noticed that / I wear my head on my sleeve
I calculate what to say, I second guess what I do
(Come on and take me to bed)
I wear it confidently, like I’m not in the wrong
Like I’m no other fool
(Por favor y gracias)
But baby you crossed the line, you fell out of reach
I still know it’s true
(Come on, take me to bed)
That if you stand close to me
I’ll stand close to you
There’s nothing I’d rather do
Come on, por favor y gracias

Chill out with your answers / I’m having a panic attack
On the sidewalk / a mirror / but who’s looking back
at me funnily / he’s wearing his head on his nose
and his ears touch the ground.
Oh, it’s a long-winded thought / and I shouldn’t be calling like this
But I’m going out of my goddamn mind.
Darling I’m lost
-
Settle down
-
I can’t find my way out
-
To have and not hold
To try and get back to you
-
Darling I’m lost, I can’t make it out
Darling I’m lost, I can’t hear a sound
Darling I’m lost, I can’t let it go
-
Have I lost you all?
I could only dream to be
chill
-
Come on, boy / I could only dream / to be down and out
Chill
-
Anyway, your heart isn’t broken / it’s beating / you’re playing around
So laugh your ass off / it’s only a story you dream till your head hits the ground
You asked for this, now
You asked for this, now chill
