The Blue Line

Tonight my parties with friends
Are things of glory
The times we had would be
The Romans' envy
And up through this moment
Been doing so much better than fine
But now I'm nothing but a passenger
Riding home on the Blue Line
I swear, I've seen your pretty face on this train
A thousand times
Though I've given up on asking,
Oh how I wish you're by my side
Though I know you'd much rather be happy
Living and loving your own life
And I'm nothing but a passenger
Riding home on the Blue Line
And you'll be the brightest shining star
When you're walking into anyone's life
And I'm nothing but a passenger
Riding home on the Blue Line
You re such a private person
It's not for me to know
Thought I could make your life much better,
It hurts to realize it isn't so
And you'll be the best thing ever happened
In some lucky man's life
And I'm nothing but a passenger
Riding home on the Blue Line

When I say that I love you
It comes out, "Do you feel alright?"
When I say I adore you
It comes out, "Aren't you such a riot?"
And I wasted so much light
It could light up the night
Of the city
When I want to spend time with you
It comes out, "Won't you tag along?"
When I say how much you mean to me
You know it always comes out wrong
And I wasted so much light
It could light up the night
Of the city
A thousand yard stare
Just like I don't care
Just like it means nothing
I knew all along
That soon you'd be gone
My pride would destroy me
Do you feel alright?

Gazer

And the beauty
Of your gaze
And it burns into my mind
And it lingers all the time
But I love it
Such a free spirit
Wouldn't trap you
But my bed still smells like you
And I don't know what to do
And I miss you
And the beauty
Of your gaze
And it burns into my mind
And it lingers all the time
But I love it

Keep Driving

Rainy December, the trees are so bare
Used to feel down, now you just don't care
Driving to nowhere just to be alone
Don't feel like music and you turned off your phone
Drops hit your windshield like your eyes when they mist
Like when she told you, "We're just not a fit"
And in the silence you wonder what she's holding back
A scathing assessment of all that you lack
And you keep driving
Turn to your friends but they just start to cry
Their loved ones checked out, done being alive
This language robs you of words you can say
Except, "That's so messed up, but I love you anyway"
And you keep driving
Mileage adds up like the people you miss
Lost in the ether, escaped in the mist
The silence echoes, how much can you take?
Grasping for meaning just so you don't break
How longer will your close ones be around
Living your best life while you're all still down
Tonight's a party, having a blast
But now you're driving, replaying the past
And you keep driving

On My Mind

Lighting up
Every room
That you walk in
It's so shocking
Just how beautiful you are
Who you are
Deep inside
Such a joy
To hang around you
You're the brightest shining star
You've been on my mind
Taking all my time
I'd be by your side if I could
You've been on my mind
Taking all my time
I'd be by your side if you would
Got a style
All your own
That's your beauty radiating
Speaks to something deep in me
Counting days
Counting hours
Till I see you
Wanna be your
Everything you'd ever need
You've been on my mind
Taking all my time
I'd be by your side if I could
You've been on my mind
Taking all my time
I'd be by your side if you would
I would do anything
Give you anything I had
Just to have your company
Work my fingers to the bone
For the chance to deserve you
And to have you
Here with me
You've been on my mind
Taking all my time
I'd be by your side if I could
You've been on my mind
Taking all my time
I'd be by your side if you would

Reverie
03:45

I saw you daydreaming
And just who were you daydreaming about?
And does he have any idea
Just how lucky he is?
And it kills me
That it's not me
Though I wish it were me
Caught in your reverie
I would've gone out tonight
But I'll just stay in, whatever that is worth to you
Maybe Stroszek's on TV
Got my Iggy and Joy Division records out
Though you'll see me shine
Like it don't bother me
Though I wish it were me
Caught in your reverie
You reread his messages
The way I do the ones you send to me
And does he understand
All the beauty in his life that could be?
And it kills me
That it's not me
Though I wish it were me
Caught in your reverie

If Ever You Doubt
01:51

If you could feel what I feel
And if you could see what I see
And I could be anything
I'd rise up and be all you'd ever need
I'd shout from the top highest mountain
If ever you doubt what is true
'Cause for you I would die
My convictions could not lie
So I try so hard to send
This message to you
