How now brown cow

Forward now from days of past, these lives we live we live to fast. Find that moment, hold it tight, when its gone, dream of it every night. Happiness lives in our memories, our dreamy skies, our sleeping seas.

Sinking in my bed I feel rooted like the majestic oak, I Stare at the the ocean in my ceiling as it dances for me, Its night but the sun glistens off the golden waves, Laughter peirces my ears and in this moment I know happiness.

I still can’t shake these feelings for you

I still believe you said everything, you ever said
Because you meant it, and not just because we were sharing a bed

And even though you meeting me, is something you regret
I still believe we found something good, that day that we met

I still haven’t found a pair of jeans, that fit me right
And I know that you’re just saying these things, to try and take me
for a ride

It still hits me like a bag of bricks, each and every night
When I wake up, to find that you’re not here to my right

So I’m saying a prayer that my feet don’t fail
But I’m still digging pebbles out from the palms of my hands
From doing push ups in the middle of two lane streets
From falling over walking with 2 left feet – yeah I’m falling down

I know that you’re happy to be rid of me
And I hope that it’ll change your personality
When you’re laughing, it’s magnetic
And it’s amazing how it cuts through the static

So please stay happy if not for me
Then for the sake of all the birds and trees and living things
That rely on, such vivid, beauty to go on living

My downfall you see where I’m stuck, is thinking how it could be
It turns my stomach, and my heart plummets, to think of how you think
of me

I’m still figuring out just who I am, and who I could be
All I know is now is who I was, wasn’t really me

I was feeling down bout who I am, and who I couldn’t be
So I lost my mind, and I wasted time, feeling so guilty

So I’m singing this song in hopes that you’ll sing along
And listen to what I’m saying, it’s a song that I made filled with
steps I can take
To find something I can believe in – to believe in

So you trick your clothes to make them believe
This is really your arm inside this sleeve, it’s the same arm
That used to hold, the things that you considered gold
But inside your head, you know you’ve changed
But really who remains the same? You’re distracting yourself
To make you believe, you change for the good
Man you’re so naïve, so you’re saying things that you don’t mean
Like actors on the silver screen until you realize your past is real
And it’s really no big fucking deal, so you burn your clothes
And everything, that reminds you of how you used to be

I know that you’re happy to be rid of me
And I hope that it’ll change your personality
When you’re laughing, it’s magnetic
And it’s amazing how it cuts through the static

So please stay happy if not for me
Then for the sake of all the birds and trees and living things
That rely on, such vivid, beauty to go on living

I still believe you said everything, you ever said
Because you meant it

its hard to move on when everything reminds me of you

He can’t make sense of this
He’s just too normal
This place is too scary
He’s so scared that he’ll miss
It keeps him in hiding
And restless and wanting

What if for one minute
He’s given a chance
And he does something brilliant
But he’d rather not know
Cause walls protect him
His bedroom’s a prison

Now is your chance boy just ignore
The dreadful things they say
Go on, give up, you’ll never win,
No crying now, they’re watching him
His blood will boil, the kids will sing
Learn to drown before you learn to swim.

If he took his time to prepare,
Stepped out of his shell
Blows an addiction
Such a comforting place,
A common mistake,
A dry wishing well.

Now is your chance boy just ignore
The dreadful things they say
Go on, give up, you’ll never win,
No crying now, they’re watching him
His blood will boil, the kids will sing
Learn to drown before you learn to swim.
So go on, give up, you’ll never win

Oh what a mistake
He is charcoal within
He could never direct by them
He stands on the stage
With a grin
But he drops on his knees
And is waiting for anything he can believe in
He’s lost, he just wants to be ordinary

Now is your chance boy just ignore
The dreadful things they say
Go on, give up, you’ll never win
No crying now, they’re watching him
His blood will boil, the kids will sing.
Learn to drown before you learn to swim.

Go on, give up, you’ll never win
No crying now, they’re watching him
His blood will boil, the kids will sing.
Learn to drown before you learn to swim.

Go on, give up, you’ll never win
No crying now, they’re watching him
His blood will boil, the kids will sing.
Learn to drown before you learn to swim.

Go on, give up, you’ll never win
No crying now, they’re watching him

Go on, give up, you’ll never win.
