Whiplash

8/12/2013

i find myself crossing a pair of my fingers
could it be a wish or a lie
is it oncoming peace or despair that lingers
in each breath of a chest-heaving sigh
the tremors that shake me after the quake
break me down cause they all signify
that last little shift in a continent drift
the moment the end just passes you by

why does the whiplash hurt more than the impact?
the ache in your head makes you realize the glass cracked
life flashed through your eyes, but you're alive, still
if the crash doesn't get you the whiplash will

the sight of your nose throws me back in my chair
i only knew noses could smell
jumped geronimo style from way up in the air
it might have been brave, but i'm still scared as hell
the parachute pull has rattled my skull
i fumble for ways to propel
will gravity greet the ground with my feet
it usually does, but you never can tell

Verse: Cm G# D# A#
Chorus: D# G# // Cm A# G# G#m D# G# D# (A#)

darling love was never the question
i have more than enough and so do you
darling love is the only answer
when people ask us how can you

tolerate hanging around this pain 
don't you hate when the wind blows
i will wait with you and catch the rain
hold out our hands and see what else can grow

darling leaving is out of the question
i'll do my grieving right here with you
let them whisper let them have their opinion
just let em talk when they ask us how can you

It Lands

there’s a shroud of silence
that sends us off to sleep
there’s a cloud so dense
filled with words we dare not speak
tongues are tied, i can’t explain
if mine is biting yours
guess we refrain from the rain
cause when it pains it pours

there’s a shred of sunlight
that wakes us in the morn
there’s a miracle of life
like a baby being born
voices blend i can’t explain
which notes are yours or mine
guess the lights is why we fight
cause when we sing it shines

there’s a shrug of shoulders
that moves us up the road
there’s a hug of wases and weres
and a kiss from the unkown
fingers crossed, i can’t explain
if it’s a wish or command
guess it’s best to give it rest
cause when you trust it lands

Boat Train

Various Voicings of Bm A G

we built a freight train, it carried cargo
we set the train out to sea if it would float
we had a false hope
we had so far to go
if only trains had buoys

we should have built a boat, we should have let it sail
instead we built a train and let the train derail

we built a strong ship upon a railroad
sang sailor songs and dreamed of moving in one lane
we had a true love, we called it music
the anchor dropped, there was no steam

we should have built a train, we had a thousand tries
instead we built a boat and let the boat capsize

i'll dock my boat out in calmer waters
close enough to see land and i'll look for you
your locomotive will pass along the harbor
just close enough to squeeze my hand as you fly through

i'm going to build a boat, i'm going to hoist the mast
you're going to build a train, you're going to hear my name
a voice from the past

we're going to learn and grow, we're going to have some fun
go our separate ways and maybe meet some day
out by the setting sun
