You can put them on the counter
There with all the other flowers
And help me figure out how to turn off this TV
I'm glad you made the visit
And if you think you have a minute
You should sit and talk until it's time to leave
Is my granddaughter Ruthie
Still working at the movies?
Does she still let all her boyfriends in for free?

I'm buckle in my seat belt, plug my headset in a chair
And to the music, I watch flight attendants move
They are pointing out the exits, but it looks more like a prayer
Or an ancient dance their bloodline reaches through
These planes are built for sifting through the warriors from the men
I've got time to sit and watch them for a while
You can see everywhere they're going, everywhere they've been
And how they look out at the clouds each time they smile
From A Window Seat

You have found me on the other side
Of a loser's winning streak
Where my thoughts all wander further than they should
Let me sing to you my solitude
Let me pay for your next drink
Let me defend these hearts which are so rarely understood
From the right angle, in the right light
I might seem like I could take care of you
For a brief moment, for a few nights
From The Right Angle

Have you ever thought
Your little girl glamour shots
And the events of that whole day spent at the mall
Is maybe a part of you
You didn’t know you were clinging to?
As if that’s where the secret had taken it's hold most of all
Like a feather that finds it's invisible path as it falls
Just beneath the surface
Just Beneath The Surface

And when the singing is through
There’s not much else that I can do for you
Which might be more than what you’d want
But less than you’d expect
From a coded dream
From a final scene
Where all the heroes and the villains intersect
And that lost feeling through the credits feels correct
Just Beneath The Surface Reprise

Just my luck you'd walk into this party
Just my luck you'd show up with my friends
It's not the words that they reduce me to
Or where your life is leading you
It's the same reason that it always has been
Just my luck
Just my luck I never said I loved you
Just my luck it completely slipped my mind
It's not my colder-hearted tendencies
Just My Luck

If she listens very carefully
To a room of conversation
She can feel the planet orbiting through space
She hears pieces of arguments,
Beginnings of jokes
And the odd lines of a song she cannot place
And it all makes up an image
That resists interpretation
Which is lately how she likes to see herself
Most People

If there was no word for love now
We'd see how strong it really is
We could find out what it looks like
Or if it ever did exist
'Cause every time you said you loved me
Seems like the point escaped us both
And the current interrupted
The moment that you spoke

Grab your cigarettes,
And follow me out of the living room.
And I’ll get drunk enough to tell you how I feel
About the men you loved,
And how they all seemed to get the best of you
Because If I don’t say these things, you know,
Someone will.
If that look in your eyes, as I slowly go through the evidence,
Gives any insight into the void you can’t get filled
Someone Will

All my mornings start with the alarm clock
Every dream gets stopped before the end
And with each bit I remember
The more the details run together
And I'm left with a message I don't comprehend
I've lost contact with the great beyond again
And as I stare over my breakfast and out into the street
I find that sorrow I've been chasing way too often,
That the man that stands in front of you is not the sum of all his dreams,
Something In Common

From the paper umbrellas in both of our drinks
To the shadows that walk without us
My account of the details is as clear as you'd think
Kept up by friends that still ask about us
If our lives were a movie
If our lives were a book
It'd be longer than I'd recommend
'Cause if you're telling a story
At some point you stop
Stories Don't End
