Especially Now

Be kind
Especially now
There’s signs
You can tell

No Problem
01:40
|

Turning, turning round
To find that there’s none to be found
Stretching, stretched so thin
Much too close to caving in
It’s no problem, I can handle this all fine
It’s no problem, I will make all of this right
It’s no problem, I’ll take it on
Giving, giving more
Much less than there was before
Falling, feeling drained
Little left and deeply strained

Wrong Way
02:45
|
|||
Just like a child
I can’t decide
What it is I should be
Don’t take this the wrong way
I show it more than you
I can better convey
a helpless attitude
Just like a child
I can’t decide
What it is I should be
Just like a child
I’m in denial
That things will ever change
Don’t be sad because you
Can’t make out what this means
It’s all pieced together
From some subsequent scenes

Every day I cross the river
Even if I don’t want to
Does it seem that gap gets bigger
Each time it comes in to view
Every day I cross the river
Debating just what is earned
Weigh its worth against what’s lived for
Navigate through twists and turns
You don’t have to ask about my day because
I’ve already lived it
I don’t need to discuss what I gave because
I’ve already given it
Every day I cross the river
Trying hard to separate
Not such a simple endeavor
Passed as I accelerate
Every day I cross the river
Escape in the scenery
Counting down the miles and minutes
Till I’m with who waits for me
You don’t have to asked about my day because
I’ve already lived it
You don’t have to ask about my day because
You’re the best part of it
Everyday I go
Will I ever know

Never Change
02:06
|
|||
So jammed packed and full of thoughts
You’d think I’d forget
I never have to make room
You’re always on it
I’ll never change
Won’t change my mind
These worries seldom hurry
To make their exit
Overworked, you help ease it
So I will not quit

All's Well Elsewhere
03:00
|

I think I’m ready to go now
The country’s calling for me
This place is still like a ghost town
The crowds are out but the streets are clean
Just writing something to live by
Felt easy to believe
Serves better as an alibi
The crowds are out, and they’re coming for me
All’s well it’s a fairytale
All’s well it’s not bad at all
I think there’s a change in the air now
I’ve been saying it’s today
For all the doubts and the holdouts
There's really nothing for me to weigh
Leaving someone you’ve learned from
Felt heavy on my mind
It isn't fate it's a problem
Fewer lessons left there to find
All’s well it’s a fairytale
All’s well it’s not bad at all

Nameless Headline
03:43
|

King city man in a car crash Monday
Witnesses say he was going too fast
He overturned on a two lane highway
Fell off a bridge he was trying to pass
That could have been
That could have been me
Another nameless headline to most
That could have been
More than it would seem
Certainly to those who were close
Hard to forget a lost son or brother
People we love fill such a precious place
Tearful sisters with a mourning mother
There are only so many words to say
Maybe it was
Maybe it was me
After all aren’t we all the same
Maybe it was
More than it would seem
Giving all the nameless a name

My Words
02:05
|
|||
I keep trying to stop giving
Promises I can’t keep even though I’d like to
I hope my efforts can exhibit
Everything I would do if I could control
My words, my words
Can’t hold their weight
Demonstrations of compassion
Give me hope that there’s still something to believe in
My good intentions don’t redeem me
Are you fine with helping if there’s no acclaim

Balancing is challenging to do now
Everyone expects something from you now
Day in, day out struggling get through, how?
Would let you know if I only knew how
If the sun starts shining
Then I guess I’ll go outside
And see if I can find some worms
If the rain keeps pouring
Then I’ll seek my shelter here
And then try to come to terms
Taking time must rest my mind no thinking
Staring wide-eyed unfocused no blinking
Thoughts come tumbling one by one all linking
Clearing out what weighs me down slow sinking
If the sun starts shining
Then I guess I’ll go outside
And see if I can find some worms
It if keeps on pouring
Then I’ll seek my shelter here
And then try to come to terms
If the sun starts shining
Then I guess I’ll go outside
And see if I can find some worms
Wriggling in the dirt
It's funny how I can relate
From this I've come and will return

Whose Plans?
02:34
|
|||
Whose plans are fool-proof?
If I tried something new
Would it be misconstrued
If I did what’s been done
Just to see the same sum
All the things we rearranged
Yet so few left unchanged
When we look at ourselves
Has all this been done well
