A Couple Miles

The seat was worn with impressions of my spine
I like the empty space where I lose all track of time
There ain’t no stopping point, ain’t nothing more than dots along a line
Cut the AC let the breeze blow on through
The wind, it's hot as hell but at least the air it moves
To see the world go by is letting myself see something new
Strike a match, hold your hand up to the right
In a flash you’ll see the papers taking light
Give me one more pull and let it fly like a firework tonight
Oh and from behind this wheel
I’ve felt all this world has thrown my way
Oh I’ve felt happy I’ve felt sad and now I feel
That a couple miles is what I need today
Turn the dial, I’ve got static nothings clear
There doesn’t seem to be a signal way out here
Ah fuck it, turn it off, you know I could use some silence in these ears
Pull on over at the next stop you can find
I’ll never get enough of this worlds wild side
I feel like screaming out, I feel so small, I feel like I’m alive
Oh and from behind this wheel
I’ve seen all this world has thrown my way
Oh I’ve seen beauty I’ve seen danger and I feel
That a couple miles is what I need today
A couple miles is what I need today
A couple miles is what I need today

I Believe

I screamed out
Won’t you leave me
Down around the fence that keeps the
Strange and staring faces from my mind
I was not in
Any danger
But the spins were feeling stranger
Than the daily push and pull I find
Oh I believe I believe
Oh I can see the good side
Oh I believe I believe
Searching for the bright light
Won’t you stop
For a minute now
Take a look inside
Won’t you stop
For a minute now
You’re alright
My flame burned
Towards the heavens
And I flew above the densest
Trials and tribulations I have seen
My hand held
To my forehead
Gazing on entire forests
Searching for the real reality
Oh I believe I believe
Oh I can see the good side
Oh I believe I believe
Searching for the bright light
Won’t you stop
For a minute now
Take a look inside
Won’t you stop
For a minute now
You’re alright
Won’t you meet me where the leaves are turning green
Won’t you come with sympathy
Won’t you meet me where the rivers meet the sea
Won’t you come and talk to me
Oh I believe I believe
Oh I can see the good side
Oh I believe I believe
Searching for the bright light
Won’t you stop
For a minute now
Won't you, take a look inside
Won’t you stop
For a minute now
You’re alright

Pieces

Met an old timer
He said son I can give you the keys to go higher
Met an old timer
Out on the road
Said I would listen
He said son can’t you see what you keep on missing
Said I would listen
Before I go
I said oh
I ain’t alone
I must be learning
As I sift through the days that I keep on burning
I must be learning
From what I’m shown
I’m no longer sinking
Seems I have found out a new way of thinking
I’m no longer sinking
This much I know
I said oh
I ain’t alone
I feel crazy
My mind is gonna run me aground
Just maybe
I’m tired of always floating around
Sometimes I need to pick up the pieces
To see where I’ve gone wrong
Sometimes theres nothing left but the ending
To help me move along
Move on
Sometimes I need to pick up the pieces
To see where I’ve gone wrong
Sometimes theres nothing left but the ending
To help me move along
Sometimes it’ll be better
Sometimes I need to be strong
Sometimes I need to pick up the pieces
To see where I belong
Met an old timer
He said son I can give you the keys to go higher
Met an old timer
Out on the road

Riding On The Wind
04:13

Years of looking as far as I could gaze
Knowing deep down I’m just scared to
Look at my own face
I’d rather wait
I can’t find, I can't find the words to say
Strung and swinging like a five token ride
Doing what I need so that my
Worlds spun on its side
I’d rather hide
I need to find, I need to find another way by
I can hear your whisper riding on the wind today
And its 60 miles to the heavens but you’d still be far away
And I can see your eyes shining when I look out upon the sea
And I’d swim across the ocean if I knew thats where you’d be
Doubt and trouble in a sea of idle time
Bloodshot and believing
All the tales told in my mind
It ain’t kind
Theres nothing left, theres nothing left for me to find
I can hear your whisper riding on the wind today
And its 60 miles to the heavens but you’d still be far away
And I can see your eyes shining when I look out upon the sea
And I’d swim across the ocean if I knew thats where you’d be
There ain’t a question that leads to what I want to hear
So I’ve been pretending I haven’t asked them
But soon there comes a day where must persevere
And I will feel at home knowing you once were here
I can hear your whisper riding on the wind today
And its 60 miles to the heavens but you’d still be far away
And I can see your eyes shining when I look out upon the sea
And I’d swim across the ocean if I knew thats where you’d be
