Thank You
How about stopping eating when I'm filled up
How about them transparent dangling carrots
How about that ever-elusive kudo
Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence
How about me not blaming you for everything
How about me enjoying the moment for once
How about how good it feels to finally forgive you
How about grieving it all one at a time
Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence
The moment I let go of it was
The moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it was
The moment I touched down
How about no longer being masochistic
How about remembering your divinity
How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How about not equating death with stopping
Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you thank you silence
Yeah yeah
Ahh ohhh
Ahhh ho oh
Ahhh ho ohhhhhh
Yeaahhhh yeahh

Hand In My Pocket
I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything gonna be fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything gonna be quite alright
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
What it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chicken shit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby
What it all comes down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
What it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
I've got one hand im my pocket
And the other one if hailing a taxi cab...

You Learn
I recommend getting your heart trampled on to
Anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living
Room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles
Chorus:
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
I recommend biting off more than you can chew
To anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth
At any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the
Wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears
Repeat Chorus
Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would
Do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually
Anyway) the fire trucks are coming up around
The bend
Repeat Chorus
You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn
Head Over Feet
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was
Chorus:
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you
Are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit
For
That's not lip service
Repeat Chorus
You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience
You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took too long?
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now
Repeat Chorus
Ironic
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly on your Chardonnay
It’s a death row pardon two minutes too late Isn't it ironic...don't you think
Chorus:
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It’s the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought...it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids
Good-bye
He waited his whole damn like to take that
Flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
Repeat Chorus
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and
Everything’s going right And life has a funny way of helping you out
When
You think everything's gone wrong and
Everything blows up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need
Is a knife?
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and yeah I really do think...
Repeat Chorus
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Joining You
Dear Darling,
Your mom, my friend
Left a message on my machine
She was frantic
Saying you were talking crazy.
That you wanted to do away
With yourself.
Guess she thought I would be
The perfect resort
Because we've had this
Inexplicable connection since
Our youth
And yes, they're in shock
They are panicked
You and your chronic
Them and their drama
You this embarrassment
Us in the middle of this
Delusion.
If we were our bodies,
If we were our futures,
If we were our defenses,
I'd be joining you.
If we were our culture,
If we were our leaders,
If we were our denials,
I'd be joining you.
I remember vividly a day years
Ago,
We were camping.
You knew more than you
Thought you should know.
You said, "I don't want ever to
Be brainwashed"
And you were mind boggling,
You were intense.
You were uncomfortable in
Your own skin.
You were thirsty,
But mostly you were beautiful.
If we were our nametags,
If we were our rejections,
If we were our outcomes,
I'd be joining you.
If we were our indignities,
If we were our successes,
If we were our emotions,
I'd be joining you.
You and I, we're like four year
Olds.
We want to know why, and how
Come about everything.
We want to reveal ourselves at
Will, and speak our minds.
And never talk small talk and
Be intuitive,
And question mightily, and find
God my tortured beacon.
We need to find like-minded
Companions.
If we were their
Condemnations,
If we were their projections,
If we were our paranoias, I'd be
Joining you.
If we were our incomes,
If we were our obsessions,
If we were our afflictions, I'd be
Joining you.
We need a reflection,
We need a really good
Memory.
Feel free to call me a little
More often
