I feel my head spin
And it makes my heart break
But I’ll get through it
Like I always do
Some days
Are better than others
And I just keep my mind on you
I can’t wait til this is over
I can’t wait til this is done
And I can see you again
It’s gonna be alright
But it won’t be easy
There’s a glimmer of low light
That’s all I need
it’s gonna be so nice when this is over
It’s gonna be so nice when it’s all done
And I can see you again
Anytime I want
These are weird times
Very strange
But the airy springtime
Won’t miss a beat
It doesn't miss a thing
And it’s gonna be so nice when this is over
It’s gonna be so nice when it’s all done
And I can see you again
Anytime I want

News Blues

You trace across my mind
Going back and forth a million times
And then through it
Cloudbursts
Skyline
Morning and nighttime disappear
Over and over they whisper
You wait here
I’ll be back for you someday
You know I can’t deny what is plain to see
You catch my eye and the heart agrees
Even though it cracks just like a mirror
And I can’t tell if I should laugh or cry
So I let it rain and let it dry
In the end, I’m smiling through the tears
I had a shirt for half my life
It said, "Hello my name is Michael Stipe
I’m with stupid
Jet Lag
Survey: 4 out of 5 Americans can’t make intelligent choices
Thank you!"
I wore it ‘til it fell apart
You know I can’t deny What is plain to see
You catch my eye and my heart agrees
Even though it cracks just like a mirror
And I can’t tell if I should laugh or cry
So I let it rain and let it dry
And in the end, I’m smiling through the tears

Dont Tell Me How It Ends

There’s writing on the wall, but I can’t read it
Won’t you tell me what it said
Living isn’t easy so you might as well dream it
Don’t tell me what it meant
I wouldn’t if I could, but I can’t, so what?
So what do you want me to do?
I don’t want to feel like I lost your love
I’d fall apart if it wasn’t for you
So what’s it all about?
Baby, I forget
We want the pleasure but we don’t want the debt?
This could be as easy as it’s ever going to get
I don’t know
I never have
There’s something to be said for keeping your mouth shut
Oh, leave it to the dead
It is what it is until it isn’t what it was
Don’t tell me how it ends
I wouldn’t, if I could, but I can’t, so what?
So what do you want me to say?
I don’t want to feel like I lost it all /
I fall apart when you look the other away
So what’s it all about?
Baby, I forget
We want the treasure but don’t want the threat?
This could be as easy as it’s ever going to get
I don’t know
I never have
So what’s it all about?
Baby, I forget
Living isn’t easy
Don’t tell me how it ends
There’s writing on the wall
Just tell me what it says

The Beautiful Twist

HEY, WHAT’RE YOU SAYING?
WHAT’RE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
EVERYTHING IS SHADOWED IN DOUBT
BUT IT ALL COMES BACK TO LOVE IN THE END
DON’T BE DENIED
BUT DON’T GET CARRIED AWAY
YOU’LL BE ALRIGHT
AND AT THE END OF THE DAY
IF YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU IS ISN’T WORTH WORRRYING ABOUT
OH, BABY I KNOW
THE LOWS ARE SO LOW
SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TO CHEER UP
BUT IN A BEAUTIFUL TWIST
THE SWEETEST THING IS
THE HIGHS ARE AS HIGH AS THE SUN
SO LET IT IN
AND LET IT WANDER AROUND
THEN PULL THE PIN
AND LET IT ALL SPILL OUT
ALL OVER THE PLACE AND DON’T FEEL BAD YOU DID
OH, BABY I KNOW
THE LOWS ARE SO LOW
SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TO CHEER UP
BUT IN A BEAUTIFUL TWIST
THE SWEETEST THING IS
THE HIGHS ARE AS HIGH AS THE SUN

It's a Fine Line
02:50

Slow dive in dreams puts my head at ease
Thinking back through days in my life simpler than these
And it’s such a peaceful empty sadness
I’d do it all again
It’s a fine line
It’s a fine line
It’s so fine
You’ve got to learn when to let the sun break in when you need it
Nostalgia floods my heart like a morning light
And it carries me away in reverie every night
To a lonely beach I go to change my mind
And melt into the sky
It’s a fine line
It’s a fine line
It’s so fine
You got to know when to let your lows go high when you need to
Sometimes I get caught in memories
And it feels like real life disappears on me again
It’s a fine line
It’s a fine line
It’s so fine
Yeah, you got to know when to let your lows go high when you need to

If you've got some fish to eat
You better eat it
If you've got some water to drink
You better drink it
If you've got some smiles to smile
You better smile em
Cuz, pretty soon you'll be going to bed
