Treetops

I'm searching for my lost love
He's come from up above the treetops
He's my lost hippie from another city
Another time, I hope he missed me
He came down so slowly and slowly kissed me
He grabbed my hand and there we stood
I said, "Grab my heart, I thought we could
Run forever
We'll race the blinding light,
Sleep through the endings
Of all the bitter fights
Wake up in the morning
Like it's all been done
Before you know it,
We'll be in love, embraced
Above the setting sun
Above the treetops"

Untitled

I got the window cracked
Just enough to feel the cool air on my back
I got the curtains drawn
Just enough to let in some sun
And wake me up
I hold you, just tight enough
Just tight enough to feel a live
To take the edge off this numbness
But I refuse to let you mean so much
To my life, I won't let you take another second of it
Another second of it

Untitled..

You've got the sky above your shoulders
And the earth beneath your feet
Do you ever begin to wonder
If, to someone else, you're obsolete?
Just another heartbeat

You've got the future in front of your eyes
And the past behind your back
You've got to stop
And take a second (think)
What can I do to pick up the slack?

See The Stars

Chasing the sunset
Stopped for a second
To catch my breath
Take a quick photograph
To never forget this feeling of hope
Hope that the world will stay beautiful
Stay full of love
Save someone for everyone
Have a place for everyone
To rest their heads
Heads up high
Heads up high

I am on my knees
Leave some beauty
Some love
For my loved ones
And me

What if
The next generation
Could never see the shining sun
Through the light
Couldn't see the beautiful jade forest
Through the tainted trees
See the shining stars
Through the spaceships in the sky
See the stars
See the stars

Get Going

I woke up from a heavy sleep
A deep, deep dream
Rolled out of bed
And onto the floor
Threw on some kicks, grabbed my keys
And I was out the door
I found my car
Two blocks from where I thought it was
Got in, punched the gas
Just because
The wind blowing through my hair
There's nothing like fresh air
To calm you down
And turn that frown right side round

You gotta get, get, get, get going
Before you just can't go anymore
You gotta get, get, get, get going
Grab your keys, you're out the door
