Found a shoebox in your old room faded and filled with letters Anything to feel close to you Anything to feel forever Every day I wish I had one of those green wishing caps I'd pack a bag, then maybe I could go back I'd climb up and walk right through those wooden-framed photographs I'd start cryin' and hug my dad Now all I have is dog tags, pilot maps, your faded name at Trinidad, Polaroids, hand-me-downs Every beautiful soul is lost and found Planted in your name I'd like to think a kid's swingin' from a branch someday Every day I wish I had one of those green wishing caps I'd pack a bag, then maybe I could go back I'd climb up and walk right through those wooden-framed photographs I'd start smilin' and hug my dad Because all that I have is you

When you don't feel like getting up, there's a word that helps, that you can say out loud or to yourself When you don't feel like getting up, there's a word that helps, that you can say out loud or to yourself Say Now

Hey Nicole, Remember 6th grade? You cut your bangs too short on the first day Then six years from then we watched you walk on that stage and if dad was there he'd smile and tell you you're brave You're A.D.D. when you scan the radio Oh you took me and showed me the classics The NeverEnding Story and Willow Played Nintendo to Mr. Bombastic Just a teen when you made the choice Nicole See the shine of impeccable timing Most run away but you stayed and broke the mold See the shine of that silver lining Bottled it up and let it all out after the hospital on a red couch Feeling down Mom said "It'll be fine" When you break through the clouds sister, there will be sunshine You're A.D.D. when you scan the radio Oh you took me and showed me the classics The NeverEnding Story and Willow Played Nintendo to Mr. Bombastic Just a teen when you made the choice Nicole See the shine of impeccable timing Most run away but you stayed and broke the mold See the shine of that silver lining See that silver sparkling See that silver sparkling She's the silver lining You're A.D.D. when you scan the radio Oh you took me and showed me the classics The NeverEnding Story and Willow Played Nintendo to Mr. Bombastic Just a teen when you made the choice Nicole See the shine of impeccable timing Most run away but you stayed and broke the mold See the shine of that silver lining

Robin of spring flyin' Oh what do you see, first robin of spring? First robin of spring

I love to swim out at night like the scene in Gattaca He saved nothing for the way back It's like how you lived your life So I surf in the mauve twilight to be there where you're at Mendocino '98 We were crying on a jagged cliff that day I said, "If I die before I wake will you toss me in the violent sea instead?" We always lived on the coast It was June when you died out there, trying to save some strangers I don't ever feel alone I always feel your presence here, your true beautiful soul Mendocino '98 We were crying on a jagged cliff that day I said, "If I die before I wake will you toss me in the violent sea instead?" Deep inside me swell is turning I am hearing sound Is this feeling You and me now moving with the tide To be there where you are Mendocino '98 We were crying on a jagged cliff that day I said, "If I die before I wake will you toss me in the violent sea instead?"

Jokingly you called our technique the falling leaf We shook the snow out of our sleeves in the powder You and me were the first to arrive, the last to leave Wedding white and emerald green in the cold air When I see your face, will I be older than you? On the chairlift we sat and watched the trees go by After the snowdrift's lullaby there's silence on the catenary You and I in a Trooper on the mountainside We had to stop there for the night, I remember Sometimes I worry that heaven is just in our minds, a lie to keep our hearts from dying, I hope it's real 'Cause I wanna see you like an artist who's lost his eyes I'm longing for you like a bird who's kept inside When I see your face, will I be older than you? When I see your face, will I be older than you? When I leave this place Marsh and pastel blue I'll cross the bridge with you When I see your face, will I be older than you? When I see your face, will I be older than you? When I leave this place, will I be older than you? When I see your face

Now I know what I know now I've learned from trial and error We're all collateral and all that's matter is all that matters Saintes nouvelles en gondole Passent devant les favélas dorées He's a Chinese lantern She's the center of a Russian doll He'll never know her and his ink ran on his epilogue Hollowed novels Homes on water from the outside Gold favela A glimpse, a speck, a fleeting flake that drifted by like ticker tape A flash and then just spiraling fumes Kaleidoscope, you broke in two Saintes nouvelles en gondole Passent devant les favélas dorées Qui disparaissent en spiralant Kaleidoscope était ton nom À mon réveil La gorge desséchée Et les souvenirs du rêve J'étais rentrée Rentrée dans la poitrine d'un étranger Et oui, c'était toi, l'étranger Des vaisseaux et ton cœur Finalement je sus arrivée au vaisseau central Et c'était comme un ascenseur Je suis montée dedans Et j'ai vu en bas Tout en bas La lumière

Spirit and soul covered in it like rocker box gold The shell is still damaged and takes its toll And every morning I wake up I'm not the same as I was before and no one knows what's wrong or what's behind those doors You're speaking to a glass half full and I'm alright It's just the sword in the bull that struck the wire but missed the spool Pins and needles I ran aground Please don't beat a dead horse Please don't run a man down If I seem like I'm fading don't worry 'bout me Really I'm lucky to be here, to feel the pebbles glide under my toes The ebb and flow We all bleed when we pluck the rose You're speaking to a glass half full and I'm alright It's just the sword in the bull that struck the wire but missed the spool And every sunrise is a marmalade fugue You're speaking to a glass half full Håller upp mot ljuset You're speaking to a glass half full and I'm alright It's just the sword in the bull that struck the wire but missed the spool And every sunrise is a marmalade fugue You're speaking to a glass half full and I'm alright It's just the sword in the bull that struck the wire but missed the spool It's a marmalade fugue

She sold the house for us with a speckled old filbert brush Her canvas, it spans the width of love She's a velvet hand in a velvet glove Moonstone, ruby, right-hand wedding ring, easygoing It's not dust collecting Shari, look and see, we're your painting She says the hardest thing in a simple poetic way Her necklace, those mini gold pilot wings, it's a testament to her own Monet Moonstone, ruby, right-hand wedding ring, easygoing It's not dust collecting Shari, look and see, we're your painting oh oh Moonstone, ruby, right-hand wedding ring, easygoing It's not dust collecting Shari, look and see, we're your painting oh oh oh You are the beauteous hue Shari's full of love The dull side of a blade mom
