All I Need

This is all I need
A cup of coffee on a mountain top
A cabin tucked into a cleft of rock
An empty notebook and stone flowing ink
This is all I need
A cup of coffee on a mountain top
A cabin tucked into a cleft of rock
An empty notebook and stone flowing ink
A vast horizon and time to think
This is all I need
I sent you in to town
It's quiet and i'm settling down
Feel my feet leaving the ground
Losin' touch just looking round
I see myself in an old spaceship
Further out than Mr. Collins went
Into that separate loneliness
That hides in every one of us
This is all I need
A cup of coffee on a mountain top
A cabin tucked into a cleft of rock
An empty notebook and stone flowing ink
This is all I need
A cup of coffee on a mountain top
A cabin tucked into a cleft of rock
An empty notebook and stone flowing ink
A vast horizon and time to think
This is all I need
I am still here up on the mountain
Been tryin for years to come down
See the dust kick up in the distance
I hope that it's you coming round
I am still here up on the mountain
Been trying for years to come down
See the dust kick up in the distance
I know that it's you coming round
Yeah I know that it's you, you're all I need

Coconut in the Street
03:45

I'm just lying on the edge of the road
Crumbling into the distance
It's been a big night, I can find my way home
Saw you in the dark place, laughing at the light
Making jokes about the system
We're all going to the corner bar
See you in the morning if I don't make it that far
Either way it's been a real good time
Tired of trying to bring you back
Double back flip of the new glass tower downtown
Is that you they found? Is that your enemy?
Is that the friend you always meant to be?
I'm sorry for being easy
To wrap your head around
You were so angry at the laughing stock downtown
Stumbling zombie on the edge of the freeway
You call the police, they say they're on their way
But you can't pull over
We're all going to the corner bar
See you in the morning if I don't make it that far
Either way it's been a real good time
Tired of trying to bring you back
Double back flip of the new glass tower downtown
Is that you they found? Is that your enemy?
Is that the friend you always meant to be?
Mango dangling in the heat, plastic bag
Coconut in the street, plastic bag
I'm living in the median and I can see you drive by every day, plastic bag
I'd have done it differently, plastic bag
If I knew another way, plastic bag
I'm living in the median and I can see you drive by every day
We're all going to the corner bar
See you in the morning if I don't make it that far
Either way it's been a real good time
Tired of trying to bring you back
Double back flip of the new glass tower downtown
Is that you they found? Is that your enemy?
Is that the friend you always meant to be?
We're all going to the corner bar
See you in the morning if I don't make it that far

My Heart is an Ocean

My heart is an ocean, it's a little bit larger
Than the continent I'm on, than the continent i'm on
Lately when I come home and I can't fit in the building
I go out rowing on the ocean alone
It's a lonely place, and there's a lot of trash floating
I wish I was floating back into your arms
But I can't escape this lonesome feeling
That my heart is an ocean in the middle of a storm
Maybe somewhere there's a shore where I could wash up on you
And you'd let me float you, and you'd say I was strong,
Maybe somewhere there's a coastline where you could look out on me
Say I was magnificent, say nothing was wrong
I know the earth’s land mass is mostly antipodal
To the lonely sea, to the lonely sea
Oh yeah, but maybe that's the only way to talk about heartache
When you're out in the grasslands when you're wild and free
Maybe somewhere there's a shore where I could wash up on you
And you'd let me float you, and you'd say I was strong,
Maybe somewhere there's a coastline where you could look out on me
Say I was magnificent, say nothing was wrong
They say the earth’s oceans are mostly getting warmer
That the ice is melting, and I know it's true
Maybe someday soon, maybe sooner than later
The whole world will be ocean, and you'll be lonesome too

Can You Hear Me Now
03:20

Let's make it easy, let's get out of town
Where you can, sit me down
And tell me stories, remind me how we got here
Cause right now, all I see, piling up behind me is a cloud
A fire on either side, and in front just the daylight dying.
Can you hear me now? I was trying so hard
Can you hear me now? I was trying to understand
How the sunlight slides through your hands
To understand how the sunlight slides
Oh you can stand around and dissolve into me,
Or you can dive under wild and free
Sit down beside me or wrestle all night
The door is wide open, the door is shut tight
Everything I could carry, everything I could lift
Everything that was easy, I felt everything shift
Can you hear me now? I was trying so hard
Can you hear me now? I was trying to understand
How the sunlight slides through your hands
To understand how the sunlight slides
Through your hands
I'm tying it up, i'm closer now brother
I'll call you again when i've figured it out
How the pain still seeps in behind the glass
You said, “all you need is one perfect paragraph”
Paint it behind the fence in a barren lot
With the bright green grass from the winter rain
Let it crumble there, let it wash away
Let it evaporate
