LYRICS: FLAGSHIP ROMANCE PART 2

1. mountain song

If mountains could talk
What would they say?
“I don’t envy your legs, child.
They only get in the way.
You’re always on the go
You should take it in.”
If mountains could talk, love,
Where would they begin?

If mountains could feel
What would they pray?
“When you get to the top, child,
I hope that you’ll stay.
You’re all about the climb.
You should let it be.”
If mountains could pray, love,
They’d be praying for me

I’m so tired of moving around
I’ve been walking a wire
I’m burning it down

If mountains could cry
With tears flowing they would scream
“You’re missing the point, child.
You’re missing the meaning.
You’re always on the search for
What you’ve had all along.”
If mountains could cry tears
I’d distill them to a song

I’m so tired of moving around
I’ve been walking a wire
I’m burning it down

If mountains could talk
If mountains could pray
If mountains could love, I could use some today

2. skinny jeans

I can’t deny
It makes me just a little bit squeamish
To realize
People think the 90s is vintage

Did I just get old?
Crossing a threshold
I don’t recognize the names
On the festival poster
Time throws
Youth out the window
I’d rather die
Than spend the rest of my days as a poser

They call it growing pains
Nothing ever stays the same
“Don’t get old,” they said
Did I ever have a say in it?

I confess
A little part of me is starting to panic
I digress
Oh shit.
Am I becoming my parents?

Stuck in my own ways
Watching it all change
I just heard my favorite band
On a classic rock station
Dad jokes
Butcher the lingo
Blaming every little thing on the new generation

They call it growing pains
Nothing ever stays the same
“Don’t get old,” they said
Did I ever have a say in it?

I don’t wanna be a walking meme in skinny jeans
Urban dictionary tell me what it means
Here’s to lookin’ at you, kid!
What once was out is in again
“Don’t get old” is what they said
But no one has a say in it
I never had a say in it

3. japanese coast

She asked me where do I go when I close my eyes
A japanese town on a coast that only exists in my mind
She was taken aback by the specifics
She was well aware that I have never been across the Pacific

We all have a little place
We all fall in to escape
Somewhere time does not make sense
Sometimes we all just need to pretend
That everything is okay

She asked me what do I see when I go there
I watch the fog roll in and I fill my lungs with the salt air
It’s where I find peach from the damage
In a far away land where I don’t speak the language

We all have a little place
We all fall in to escape
Somewhere time does not make sense
Sometimes we all just need to pretend
That everything is okay
Pretend that everything’s okay

When I breathe in
Suddenly I can taste the ocean spray
Sitting on a bench where no one knows my name
Watch the ships roll in at the end of the day
And everything is okay
Everything is okay
Pretend that everything is okay

4. hostage negotiation

I’m sorry I bailed on your celebration
You know I have a hard enough time with communication
I woke up with high hopes
But no
I was back in the ring
Now my back’s on the ropes
And it’s turned into a hostage negotiation

I tried to write this song about getting better
But even happy chords sound like rainy weather
It goes G, B7, E
Yeah it sounds so nice with my OCD
Now here’s a catchy little hook
So you can hum it later
Yeah

I know Lee will try to tell me “that is not a chorus”
But man I’m running outta room in my mental storage
It won’t get on the airwaves
But hey!
I have been this way since the 7th grade
I’ve been chopping down trees
When I should burn the forest
Yeah

I did a DNA test and my Dad is Saint Nick
We both have a long long list and we double check it
Like the car doors, oven, fridge, & faucet
You know I think I’d look good in a straight jacket

I tried to write this song about getting better
Yeah

5. we are all children

We are all children
Stuck in these bodies that decay
You can see it on the faces of people
When they don’t get their way

Some are taught to love
Some taught to take
Some taught to include everyone
But it just takes on bully on the playground
To spoil all your fun

We are all products
Programmed by people who raised us
We all got baggage
But honey we’re riding the same bus

Meg’s got straight A’s
She’s anxious for days
Joe wants to be seen by his Dad
Force a smile
Pick a fight
Just to hide all the wreckage that we have

We think we’re so different
In language, in pigment
But we’re equally skilled in the damage we do
Immature and reckless
Hard not to feel hopeless
I don’t know about you

We are all users
Addicted consumers
We can’t stop
Stick a straw in the ground
We’ll drink it all down to the last drop
Meanwhile on TV
They’re building up armies
Every day growing bigger in size
While they change the channel
I’m stuck in the middle of their cries

We get off on the friction
Politics and religion
Those safety nets we can’t help falling into
I’ve been looking around
Man it gets me so down
I don’t know about you

We are all children
We are all children
We are all children
We are all children

6. somebody tell my heart what to do

My baby loves it when I sing this song
She don’t care ‘bout the notes that I get wrong
Like I do
If I could ride an elevator straight outta my head
Cleanse myself from the judgment I’ve been fed
It’s been way too much to chew

When it comes to love
I give it for free
But giving to myself
Don’t come naturally
I fall right on my face
I don’t have a clue
Won’t somebody tell my heart what to do

I’m a ship in a snowglobe lost at sea
And I’m the kid in the store who shakes it constantly
Oh the hell I put me throw

When it comes to love
I give it for free
But giving to myself
Don’t come naturally
I fall right on my face
I don’t have a clue
Won’t somebody tell my heart what to do

My kind of crazy’s a new joke lately
Man I think I’m losing touch
My attic is dusty
Heart’s a little rusty
But baby I ain’t asking for much

When it comes to love
I give it for free
But giving to myself
Is just make believe
It’s like learning how to dance
But I can’t tie my shoes
Please somebody tell my heart what to do
Oh somebody tell my heart what to do
Won’t somebody tell my heart what to do
Somebody tell my heart what to do

7. ride the river

I was never much for prayin’
But you’ve got me down on my knees
I never thought I’d be sayin’
You are the one that I need

You drifted through this one horse town
It took you no time
Before you had me
Caught up in your sights

You took your aim
You brought me down
You shot out the lights
I knew I’d end up in your arms tonight

You are the one
You are the one
That I wanna ride the river with

I never believed in angels
‘Til you laid me under your wings
Suddenly the two of us tangled
There’s no untying the strings

You came in like a cannonball
You sailed ‘cross the sky
I’ve never seen such power in my life
Now you’ve got me looking back
Searchin’ for a time
When I wasn’t meant to be by your side

You are the one
You are the one
That I wanna ride the river with
You are the one
You are the one
That I wanna share my deepest secrets with

What a beautiful epiphany
When I look in your eyes
And I couldn’t write it better if I tried
Let’s fade out in the sunset
We’ll kiss this place goodbye
We’ll ride the river
Ride the river tonight

8. crazy pills

I would like to think
I’m calm
Collected
Level headed
Don’t need drama
Set it forget it
But you got the cheat codes
You’re on the mainline
I love and hate you
All at the same time
You set me off
You don’t even try
You’re bringing out my dark side

Why does it feel
Why does it feel
Like I’m taking crazy, crazy pills?

I could make believe
I’m in Bermuda
With wine and gouda
Sittin’ breezy like a
Happy Buddha
But sure as the wind blows
Sure as the sun shines
You put a blindfold
Over my third eye
I’m starting to think
I don’t know myself
You turn me into somebody else

Why does it feel
Why does it feel
Like I’m taking crazy, crazy pills?

Is it you?
Is it me?
Is there something ‘bout our chemistry?
It took me so long to see
That I need to set some boundaries

‘Cause sometimes I feel
That you make me feel
Like I’m taking crazy, crazy pills

9. bodybag

At the scene of the crime
I floated above everything
The red lights arrived
They put me in a bodybag

I wasn’t scared
Didn’t care
But how I wished you were there
To see the mess you made

Oh
The undertaker’s caught off guard
I had no heart
It was always yours

You pushed it aside
The damage you refused to see
Don’t act so surprised
When you’re standing six feet over me

Just count the ways
I tried to say
My life was yours to save
What a mess we made

Oh
The undertaker’s caught off guard
Oh
You should’ve seen it from the start
You had my heart
It was always yours

At my funeral
Everyone will cry
They don’t know that I’ve been dead
On the inside
But you knew that I was gone
For a long time

Oh
The reaper rides a painted horse
With pale blue eyes
They look like yours

10. when it all ends

Will I be runnin’ wild in golden meadows
Chasing fireflies like I am a kid
Face the setting sun but cast no shadow
Letting go of all the things that I did

When it all ends
Does it all end?

I don’t picture pearly gates are waiting
Or a bearded bouncer to let me in
Yeah the scene that I’m anticipating
Is like a cocktail with a long lost friend

When it all ends
Does it all end?
Will we meet again
When it all ends?

When it all ends

When I’m looking back over my shoulder
There is no fear left to follow me
Throw a party I’m one lifetime older
God I hope that this is how it’ll be

When it all ends
Does it all end?
Will we meet again
When it all ends?

When it all ends
