Reflections Of You

Track List

1. Maybe Today-:--

   How do you start?
   Still living apart
   A broken tape to repair
   Trying to stay while being away
   But maybe it’s too late to change?

   I’ll be here for you
   If you want me to
   I’m on both sides of your fence
   Do we make the rules?
   Or am I a fool for playing the same song again?

   Travelling mess dressed for success
   When was the last time you had sex?
   One night stand for these lonely hands
   I’m a sleepwalker backtracking steps

   I’ll be here for you
   If you want me to
   I’m on both sides of your fence
   Do we make the rules?
   Now I am the fool for playing the same song again

   We’ll find a way
   I’m here to stay
   Maybe today?

2. Reflections Of You-:--

   Passed by a house on a hill
   I couldn’t find the basement
   Everyone was talking about
   Somebody that I never knew
   White wall, stripes of red and black
   Spray painted covered in cracks
   Can’t bring you back

   Sometimes I get lost
   It’s hard to believe a city could take me away from you
   I’m falling asleep from livin’ the dream and sayin’ “I love you”

   Played a show where you used to play
   Strummed a quiet chord at a bar
   People were talking too loud
   Blowing smoke, drinking alcohol on Halloween
   October 20, wondering what could’ve been done?
   Your story spun

   Sometimes I get lost
   It’s hard to believe a city could take me away from you
   I’m falling asleep from livin’ the dream and sayin’ “I love you”
   Your echo will haunt like a ghost from the past
   A walk in the park with an hourglass
   Turn over a leaf and still nothing new

   Reflections of you in a silver lake
   Reflections of you in a silver lake
   Reflections of me
   Reflections of you

3. World In Two-:--

   You’re a good thing I’ll remember
   from a bad time in my life
   I fell under the nasty weather
   Waiting for a day to arrive
   Will I see you in Los Angeles?
   Skies are light and blue
   Maybe if we’re lucky then we’ll see
   The world in two

   Got up early, missed the train
   While your head was spinning round and round
   I was on the sidelines waiting for you to cross me out
   If I see you in the rearview mirror
   I’ll go back for you
   Maybe if we’re lucky then we’ll see
   The world in two

   Hell, I’ve tried to mend a broken heart
   Like a shooting star you vanished in the dark
   A New Year’s Eve without the fireworks
   Could only make it worse

   How many days go by?
   There’s nothing we can do
   So many miles away
   Till I can be with you

4. Kick, Snare And A Tom-:--

   Michael used to live next door to me
   He was the first kid that I met on Haring St.
   One grey morning back in 1985
   New Jersey to Brooklyn seemed like a long drive

   Moving every year
   It never felt like home
   New room only had two closet doors
   Somebody left a set of old purple sparkle drums
   With no hats or cymbals
   Just a kick, snare and tom

   On the second floor of 2158
   We didn’t have many toys or video games to play
   I was roadrunner and he was Spiderman
   Pretending that one day we’ll be in a real band

   I didn’t have any sticks
   So, I played with silver spoons
   Michael’s Casio was missing keys
   I heard he was a priest and nowadays he strums
   On his guitar while I still bang away on
   a kick snare and tom

5. Heavy Mental-:--

   This is where it ends in the place where it begins
   Just like pulling the last milk tooth from my mouth
   The boat is in the yard
   No, I won’t be very far
   Tell my loved ones that I’m sailing to the stars

   I ain’t heavy but I’m lost
   A bit too broken for this world
   Times are changing
   But the memory stays the same
   I’m a human atom bomb
   Detonated by your charm
   I won’t let me ever get the best of me

   Spilling out my guts on a paper
   Getting cut by the lines
   You can see them all across my face
   Walking round myself with my heavy mental health
   Turning the knob back from ten right down to three

6. Love On A Leash-:--

   You set out to rule the world
   It didn’t quite work out as you planned
   You got a wife and responsibilities
   They don’t seem to mend
   Teenage dreams slowly evaporate
   The world comes crashing down
   Like a tidal wave washes away
   I’m still here at bay

   Baby, tell me
   How can we do this much longer?
   When we’re leading our love on a leash
   How can you stay where the moon lights hiding
   And the sun is out of reach?

   Got married in August
   But I couldn’t even hang around
   Or move into our first house in Italy
   I keep saying one day we will
   Sometimes I wonder how you put up with me
   I can’t deal with myself
   If I keep running after the imaginary
   I might lose the real

7. Wildwood-:--

   Lauren, I wrote you a letter
   One you’ll never read
   I was walking on the boardwalk
   In the Jersey summer heat
   Rollercoasters and tourists
   On the midway in tie-dyes
   Days we weren’t big enough to go on all the rides

   There’s a place where dreams come true
   Arnold paid another visit just for you
   Hasta la vista, baby’s running out of time
   I was on my way to Wildwood
   While you were fighting for your life

   Remember the day that we lost you, December ‘91
   At 10, it’s hard to understand how someone dies so young
   Your life was an open casket for an angel dressed in white
   First time I saw dad crying then the mourning came at night

   There’s a place where dreams come true
   Maybe heaven had a better plan for you
   I’m sorry I couldn’t be there with you by your side
   I was on my way to Brooklyn the day that Lauren died

   Pictures and memories are all we leave behind
   I was on my way to wildwood
   Wishing that I could say goodbye

8. Translucid-:--

   You’re the shape I see from a distance
   A firecracker in July
   A silhouette
   I’m a streetlight
   Flashing right before your eyes
   Cast under a spell
   Spinning carousel

   Translucid
   Translucid

   It’s been a year in a crossroad
   Are you pulling up or backing down?
   I’ll cheer your day with a phone call
   You’ll spend the night out on the town
   Are you drinking with a friend?
   I wish that I was there

   Translucid
   Translucid
   Translucid
   I fall into your see-through arms

   Sometimes we don’t communicate
   And live as if we’re separated
   Let me know when I’ll see you around
   A tale you never tell
   Is there somebody else?

9. Nothing Will Tear Us Apart-:--

   Build a house in a space without a soul
   Far from the pain that you felt
   What could I write when you leave a question mark?
   Hangin’ on, hangin’ over my head

   I live in a photograph
   Cut like a razor
   Nothing will tear us apart
   My love
   Don’t make it easy
   Nothing will tear us apart

   I’ll stand with you in a still frame
   Black and white
   Hope is a void that we fill
   Like a lost melody someday you will return
   And I’ll play to the tune of your face

   Distorted skies above you
   I’ll stay until I leave you
   I’m sorry for dragging your life into mine
   Somewhere safe in time

10. 11th Hour-:--

    I spent all of my hearts on you
    Tried to get by on pennies
    We only had a few
    Hoping I could change your mind
    You’re a street that I could never find
    I think that I could make it through
    Driving in the dark to you

    I hear a voice on a telephone
    Heavy rain hits the windshield
    You’re in a bed alone dreaming in another state
    Don’t you wait for me I’ll be too late
    I think that I could make it through
    Driving in the dark to you

    House on a hill in the middle of the night
    These headlights keep me awake

    Home at last
    I’ll rest my weary eyes with you
    Before the sunlight
    Good night
