Constant Adventure
Achieving Vagueness
You And I
this is starting to get real old
so how does it feel, underneath
some people always make such a show
a zero scene here with nothing to feel
well i never thought you’d go
but anyway, anyway
i feel down.
and when you’d cum
you’d find out the truth
i’d be so far away from you
writing letters to anotherone
in the sun aint it fun for us mac
well i could never shoot you down
but every chance i’d get lately i’d take it
look there theres nothing left for you
even if we’re old news
cause maybe its you and i know
we’re not, living on the inside of it
you and i know
well maybe its you and i know
we’re not, living on the inside of it
you and i know
we’re just running away
i thought about the way you said
we’d crash and burn
and never learn from anything
well look thats what we did
we’re underseige so call a priest
and then there was always the chance that i’d
forget just where im from and that
would really get to you
but fuck, it wont happen to me
cause maybe its you and i know
we’re not, living on the inside of it
you and i know
well maybe its you and i know
we’re not, living on the inside of it
you and i know
solo
cause maybe its you and i know
we’re not, living on the inside of it
you and i know
well maybe its you and i know
we’re not, living on the inside of it
you and i know
we’re just running away x4

you want to retire, and make plans for your youth
or you want to try her, she’s that subtle excuse that
when your not your why, or your not sure what i know
while achieving nothing. by finding homes in places we wont go
in 1981 i caught a glimpse of innosence
that has long since left, living with old regrets
your gonna expire, she’s not built from experience
but your dying to try her, she’s that subtle excuse that
when your not sure why, or not sure what i know
we’re achieving nothing, but i never thought that we’d find ourselves now
in 1981 i caught a glimpse of innocence
that has long since left, living with no regrets
solo
in 1981 i caught a glimpse of innosence

cause in 1981 i saw this run in front of my eyes for the first time.
and this has taken me right back

and everynight i feel the same pain

Constant Adventure
Verse 1
Feeling bored? leave the shore
on our constant adventure
tease me with tails how our land was won
and lost again
when they realise what they've done
was fox everyone
out at sea we've lost the peace to
quietly remember we were great once
Chorus
who's gonna sail this big ship now
and who's gonna blame you whose gonna find out
cause we cant control where this floats now
who's gonna blame you who's gonna find out
Verse 2
News reports poor retorts the captain is drunk again
no fly zones, bordered homes the water sure looks pretty here
come now realise we've been had, all lies accepted
onward brothers coalesce on our constant adventures
who's gonna sail this big ship now
and who's gonna blame you whose gonna find out
cause we cant control where this floats now
who's gonna blame you who's gonna find out
solo
who's gonna sail this big ship now
and who's gonna blame you whose gonna find out
cause we cant control where this floats now
who's gonna blame you who's gonna find out
verse 1
we dug ourselves deep in
hidden from the kindness of man
wrapped in the sheets and quilts and raised by hand
sewn over years of making other plans
take me on
verse 2
Sadness set in, it was on our 3rd year
comfort held little repose for us then
the blankets were tough but our hearts, sadly they were not.
i slipped from your grip and as you slept i ran.
take me on
chorus
so i say goodnight
to my friends daily
as i sing sweetly into your ears
and say good bye
to those who left long
for the towns in old love notes
oh no? oh yeah.
so say good bye to your friends daily
sing sweetly in my ears
and say good bye to those who left long ago
for the towns in old love notes
pray to the night we make it safely
but in my mind its gone
say good bye to those who left long ago
say goodnight as i run.
we live on an eastern shore
in a town with no reprieve
and our common concerns?
who'll care for our families
i watch as that next boat leaves
knowing well our terms of peace
at home with the guilt it seems
we'll stay and fade into obscurity
who leaves their town for a new sensation?
who'll lead old lovers out there
if i cant decide
what i all want from life
well i be feeling old tonight
Yes We've lived on an Eastern Shore
hungry for a mouth to feed
its true i cant want much more
this town has been the worst to me
who leaves their town for a new sensation?
who'll lead old lovers out there
if i cant decide
what i all want from life
well i be feeling old tonight
who leaves their town for a new sensation?
who'll lead old lovers out there
if i cant decide
what i all want from life
well i be feeling old tonight
For you to say i wont, "act on good advice"
or "play around with an open heart"
when i just wanna stay out
i just wanna stay out.
im taking it day by day
through fields on an open cart
and an open mouth from which i shouted
"i just wanna stay out,
if we were younger would you help us out"
where'd you go to school?
who you fighting with?
where'd you learn to leave who you came with?
to the back seats, pleased in libraries
to the back of a car, i've agreed with each doubt.
and while awake i wait.
be open like a book
the plainest one
as if came something
i just wanna stay out
i just wanna stay out
and while awake i'd wait
cause i was once like you
naive to the tooth to sleep with
i just wanna stay out,
if we were younger would you help us out
to say hey, why you feeling down
cant you wait for her to come around
to say hey why you feeeling down
can you wait for her to come around
my hometown
my hometown
my hometown
is your home now.
hey
as i get out of my bed
i slip i fall
i dream our tales our turning
and as i get out of my head
i sink some more
as i get out of my bed
i slip i fall
i dream our tales our turning
and as i get out of my head
i sink some more
i never got home that night
you have a real sweet life
but you cant care less
it's sure nice to meet you
in times of unrest
and a curious tongue
dont fall asleep
under the ambien
i worked that case
and im two steps away from
but its miles away
and we're under the thumb
of another great lake
just let me carry
this weight for you
but its mailes away
and we're under the thumb
of another great lake
but its miles away
and we're under the thumb
of another great lake
but its mailes away
and we're under the thumb
of another great lake
A Falling Out
verse 1:
i just saw a falling out
closest that he'd ever got
to another open mouth
and i just saw them peel apart
now they he simply shakes his head
this are things i understand
chorus:
in time i, i'll return
to this life
you would would want me more
if i was a little boy of four
but not no more
verse 2:
i just saw a falling out
and from this bench it feels like a
world is simply passing by
mother grab me by the hand
why will you not take mne home
father said we cant be long
chorus 2:
in time i, i'll return
to this this place
we will have a farm
in your case there can be
no excuses, i want it all.
verse 3:
i just saw a falling out
tha closest that i ever got
to another open mouth
and now i just peel apart
i cannot shake my head
its love i cannot understand
chorus 3:
in time i, i'll return
to your home town
and we'll alarm
the folks with
our deadbeat
your father
works and i release
him on terms,
for my peace
and there can be no happy feeling
when we dance we dont move
we shake the ground beneath you
outro:
i just saw a falling out
i just saw a falling out
i can piece this together from all that we've been through
hungry for a life, all our friends and ours tongues and all our open mouths are too
move back we're kicking it in
the last few years of manhood
im pulling acorns
and pulling out of the idea that if i relax
i wont get no work here done
foreign lips, they'll call you
strange way to make a living here
each branch you climb
you learn from looking
over your shoulder
while we pass by
so quit holding your breath
theres nothing coming
so quit holding your breath
theres nothing coming
sun beams down gently
summer breeze has caught me in its sights
lets rest for a while
as the day seems so still
perfection lured me
a glorious end to the night
each moment here feels like a dream
that can only end right
to wake in the light
so quit holding your breath
theres noone coming
so quit holding your breath
theres nothing coming
so quit holding your breath
There nothing coming.
(hold that last breath, once you've found it
hold that last breath, once you've got it,
hold on)
and boy start running
Verse 1
sad sights for sore eyes
me & my kin
salted rhythm awash the pale skin
Verse 2
wear me wear me for a smile and leave
and complains there's no rain
falling on the sils of these days
Chorus
So keep it upstairs tonight
with a part of me
and you've got a space i find
in separate rooms
"there is no..."
you've got a lot to learn
youve got a lot to learn
ive got nothing.
Verse 3
after the morning has come
and played us for pawns
blame it on baby's subtle come'ons
Verse 4
it's too late, not too late to make one last show
why waste another year on just guessing how things will fall
So keep it upstairs tonight
with a part of me
and you've got a space i find
in separate rooms
"there is no..."
you've got a lot to learn
youve got a lot to learn
ive got nothing.
So keep it upstairs tonight
with a part of me
and you've got a space i find
in separate rooms
"there is no..."
you've got a lot to learn
youve got a lot to learn
ive got nothing.
