Lyrics for ‘Texas Collectious’
My Own Bad Dreams
Why do I wake up sad for no reason
Like my own bridge was burned in sleep
Rise on an island
Just me and my own bad dreams
Heart like butter in the sun
Mind like wine left in a mug
Why do I want things I’ve never seen
Miss places I’ve never been before
Spiritually speaking
Who’s even keeping score
Eyes like skies during the pour
Breath like coals already burned
I don’t mind wasting your time
Feels like I’m falling behind
Someday I’ll think of these simpler times
And remember me fine and smiling
Then cross my bridge on fire
And enter my own bad dreams
Why don’t you stay here with me
From the shore we can look out to sea
He’s Not Gonna Call
He’s not gonna call and all of the day I decide
To believe that he might, now I’m lonely tonight
It sure is painful loving someone cruel
He sure got the best of me
Cut loose in the woods
He’ll lose with the rest of me
And nobody believes it like they should
How do I stop lying to you
Maybe light involve the truth
How do I keep holding on to fools like you
Trace Chain
Songbirds at sunrise, and
I’ll complain about the noise
My patio is a little large
For me to enjoy
What am i doing,
I got so much to fix myself
I can’t keep living my life
Knowing I bring you down
Down in the dumps
Standing out in a crowd
Should we say it out loud
That the past so heavy
And the void of letting go
Makes a cloud around me
When I think of what you know
The whole damn thing is in lightning
And maybe I can’t do anything right
If I’m dead to you really
Guess it’s time to say goodbye
What am I doing
I’ll love the sun and all it shines on
Wake at dawn or at least try
Forget I’m feeling like
A pile of dirt
Standing out in a crowd
Should I say it out loud
It’s not the strength I need to keep going
It’s not the sense of growing apart
Just keeping growing
But the end that’s finally here
After a long start
And the wind that’s been
Nippin at my heels
The horizon is far
But it makes my heart say
Yeah man I drove
But I still don’t know much
About how you feel
If you knew I was hurt
Felt sorta worthless
You kept an even keel
The one time you cried
Burned in my mind
Dancing in the kitchen
And timewarp rides
My whole world’s pretend
And you don’t even bend
To save us again
How To Thank A Friend
How do you thank a friend
For their heartbreaking presence
For their undivided attention
When you’re withering
You say I’m the water
Lapping up against a wall
I feel that so completely
Flowing churning deeply
Yet stuck after all
How do you thank a friend
With fires bright and fighting fair
Keep on talking
Cause you know they care
Lead me now to brighter times
I only loved you
Cause I loved you blind
I loved you blind
How to do what you intend
Now that your plans got broken
And soft words you weren’t sure you’d say
Never get spoken
You show up at seven
When the summer sun’s still up
I see your sadness clearly
Mad at your mystery
Yet stuck after all
How do you thank a friend
With iron sides and steely stares
Keep on walking you’re a joke I swear
Lead me down the path to find
I only loved you
Cause I loved you blind
I loved you blind
He told me that I should forget it
It don’t matter anyhow
Wow it’s been awhile since I let it
Chew me up and spit me out
That fear’s like fate like drown-me-out
Wield my weight like solemn sound
How do you thank a friend
