Make yourself at home, 'cause I'm going out
Across the street to get us some water
'cause this water's brown, and I'm so embarrassed
To have you here but i want you around
Usually I'd sing, or play you my guitar
But i know it won't get very far with you
'cause you like music that makes you move
And mine has a groove, but it's nothing i can prove
Please know what I mean
When i say, nothing
Things that i buy and things that i think
Haven't made this a better place to be
Drugs that i try and drinks that i drink
Haven't made this a better place to be
It's still just a room with the drums in the middle
A couch along the wall that works as my bed
I still have a phone that rings all day
I still have things i wish i would of said
Please know what i mean
When i say, nothing
When i say
This whole thing's been hard on me
It breaks my heart, do you know what that means
My new place seems strange to me
It breaks my heart, do you know what that means
It means nothing

Look at me now
I'm all dressed up in your words today
Do you think about me, do you think about me?
If it comes down, it's still about the sweet little things you say
After all that I've run from, where the fuck did you come from

Butterfly, baby I still have my doubts about you cause
Butterfly, cause I cant find nothing bad about you and
Butterfly, you messed me up, you make my heart double beat and
Butterfly, I don't know how it is you got inside of me

Cause, your in me now, oh your in me now, your in me now
You've made me yours, with your lovely cures
Life is like; I don't know why I do things like this
After all that I've come from, you're the woman I should run from

Butterfly, baby I still have my doubts about you cause
Butterfly, cause I cant find nothing bad about you and
Butterfly, you messed me up, you make my heart double beat and
Butterfly, I don't know how it is you got inside of me

Don't you know baby I'm a leading man
I dig down deep when I say I love you
and I can hold my own with the best of them
I guarantee you, you will never see nothing like this again
California I hope that it wakes you
all the darkness that I couldn't break through
cause I'm going to miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you

don't you know that I did the things I could
I rubbed you back when you were sleeping
and all along baby it was understood
that you were leaving absolutely ever since the very first day that we met
California I hope that it wakes you
all the darkness that I couldn't break through
cause I'm going to miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
like I miss the ocean when I go to sleep
and it's gonna break my heart

Don't you know baby I'm a leading man
I dig down deep when I say I love you
and I can hold my own with the best of them
I guarantee you, you will never see nothing like this again
California I hope that it wakes you
all the darkness that I couldn't break through
cause I'm going to miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
like I miss the ocean when I go to sleep
like I miss the ocean when I go to sleep
and it's gonna break my heart

This is not a conquering
I am not conquered
Even as the helicopters come for me
My wife sleeps in her clothes in the corner
I'm looking down at the police on the street
We all woke on this planet together
With the earth below and the sky above
Answer me this, would you do the same
If somebody raped the woman you love
K-k-killed a man, and now I'm on the run
Godless burning underneath the sun
K-k-killed a man, now I'm on the run
Godless burning underneath the sun
Don't sleep in the light (let 'em come, let 'em come)
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat

Just let the disc play
This is a song to give you hope
I wouldn't have it any other way
This is a song to give you hope
When you say
Honey i'm afraid to sleep at night, sleep at night
Honey i'm afraid to sleep at night, sleep at night
Well, i wish i had my arms around you
This is a song to give hope
Just let this thing surround you
This is a song to give you hope
When you say
Honey i'm afraid to sleep at night, sleep at night
Honey i'm afraid to leave tonight, leave tonight
I said go, go on
Go, go on
I said i, i love you truly
So go, go on
And get jump on the finer things
This is a song to give hope
You never know what the past will bring you
This is a song to give you hope
When you say
Honey i'm afraid to sleep at night, sleep at night
Honey i'm afraid to leave tonight, leave tonight
I said go, go on
Go, go on
I said i, i love you truly
So go, go on
Forty miles south of monterey and the san lucia hills
The sunshine shone me to sleep, and i dreamt i was alive
I sang myself a song, it went, know what you know,
Stay when you stay, and go when you go
And i call it intuition, flowers bloom and hummingbirds fly
Yes, i call it intuition, it gets me by
Sailing on a silver ship out to the open
Lonely and realizing that our friendship's been broken
And the funny thing to me is how quickly it slips away
And leaves you thinking of the things that were never spoken
And you know loving me is not enough
And i know future is as future does
Sailing on a silver ship out to the open
Lonely and realizing that our friendship's been broken
And the funny thing to me is how quickly it slips away
And leaves you longing for the things that were never spoken
And you know loving me is not enough
And i know future is as future does

Don't you know baby I'm a leading man
I dig down deep when I say I love you
and I can hold my own with the best of them
I guarantee you, you will never see nothing like this again
California I hope that it wakes you
all the darkness that I couldn't break through
cause I'm going to miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you

don't you know that I did the things I could
I rubbed you back when you were sleeping
and all along baby it was understood
that you were leaving absolutely ever since the very first day that we met
California I hope that it wakes you
all the darkness that I couldn't break through
cause I'm going to miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
like I miss the ocean when I go to sleep
and it's gonna break my heart

Don't you know baby I'm a leading man
I dig down deep when I say I love you
and I can hold my own with the best of them
I guarantee you, you will never see nothing like this again
California I hope that it wakes you
all the darkness that I couldn't break through
cause I'm going to miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
like I miss the ocean when I go to sleep
like I miss the ocean when I go to sleep
and it's gonna break my heart

Southern Minnesota in the year of 1997
There was a great natural light in the sky
And people ran in fear
And i was so concerned with the welfare
Of the woman standing nearest to me
That i didn't notice when it shown on both of us
Then disappeared
I asked her
Do you know what that was
And did it shine for only us
Tell me do you know what that was
Was it a sign
I think it probably was
Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in the year of 1987
There was a great natural light in the sky
And people ran in fear
And i was so concerned with the welfare
Of my brother standing nearest to me
That i didn't notice when it shown on both of us
Then disappeared
I asked him
Do you know what that was
And did it shine for only us
Tell me do you know what that was
Was it a sign
I think it probably was

I woke up before you in the total darkness
Early morning
I could hear the wind in the trees
I was looking for the light to bring you out
From the shadows
Redefine you now for only me
And honey i'm sure
That you've been in love before
Plenty of men have held high places in your eyes
And jealousy has got no use for me
The past is beautiful
Like the darkness between the fireflies
I was driving faster through the appalachians
I could see the world go out below me in the sun
You should know by now
That someone's always been there
Long before you
You're never going to be the only one
And honey i'm sure
That you've been in love before
Plenty of men have held high places in your eyes
But jealousy has got no use for me
The past is beautiful
Like the darkness between the fireflies
Beautiful like the darkness between the fireflies
