This Is Me

Hello, this is me
As you can see
I'm small and frail
And I was once described as fragile
But not to my face
Hey there, it's still me
As you can see
I'm probably the same
You see I don't like to change
Too frequently
When I was young I was told
I could fly if I put my mind to it
But my arms grew very tired and weak
This is me
This is me
Hello, this is me
As you can see
Tomorrow I'll be 23
But lately I'm a bit naive
When I was young I was told
I was just like all the other kids
But my reflection told me differently
When I was young I was told
I could explain things with my new theories
But lately they're a bit hazy
Hello, this is me
I'm probably the same
It's still me

If You See Me

It's amazing
The steps I've seen you take and fall
And helped to pick you up
Then you'd leave me blind, dumbfounded and desperate
You could promise to steal the stars for me
Then my ignorance would sway in
And I'll believe every word that you say
Some day if you see me
Waiting here so patiently
Some day if you see me
Come down here and rescue me
It's amazing
The tears I've seen you shed and helped you to wipe away
Without a second thought of selfishness or lust or greed
I won't stop fighting for you so easily
You could show me the stars on the ceiling
And not even see that I'm on my knees
Some day if you see me
Waiting here so patiently
Some day if you see me
Come down here and rescue me
I've been battered and broken but not like this before
You leave me tangled in your stories but can't seem to help
Come and cut me down
I've been battered and broken but not like this before
You leave me tangled in your stories but can't seem to help
Come and cut me down
Some day if you see me
Waiting here so patiently
Some day if you see me
Come down here and rescue me
Some day if you see me
Waiting here so foolishly
Some day
Come down here and rescue me
Please rescue me
Please rescue me, dear

Scout's Honor
04:22
|

Please believe me
Don't mind the holes in my knees
Pay no attention to these scars
I may just need a little bit more time
I may just need a little time
To pick up the pieces and dust me off
I'm fine, scout's honor
I'll be feeling okay until you let me down
I'm fine, scout's honor
I'll be feeling okay until I hit the ground
Make no mistake
I'm upright and I'm breathing
And I'm attacking and defending
With my shields
The blind from the light as almost all gone away
And I can only barely feel
Your crushing blow from yesterday
I'm fine, scout's honor
I'll be feeling okay until you let me down
I'm fine, scout's honor
I'll be feeling okay until I hit the ground
Don't fret, I bet
It's probably just your overactive imagination
Pay no mind, I'm fine
I may just need a little bit more time
I may just need a little bit more time
I may just need a little bit more time
I may just need a little time
To pick up the pieces and dust me off
I'm fine, scout's honor
I'll be feeling okay until you let me down
I'm fine, scout's honor
I'll be feeling okay until I hit the ground
I'm fine, scout's honor
I'll be feeling okay until you let me down
I'm fine, scout's honor
I'll be feeling okay until you let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

I Stand
03:19
|

Here I stand before you
Arms outstretched
My ribs open and bare
I come to you seeking cruelty
Bravery and promises
That only you can share
Tell me your secrets
Like I've told you mine
And the promises that I'll keep
So here are my hands
And here is my breath
And here, my dear, is where I stand
Here I stand before you
Complete but broken
And utterly confused
You bring me to water
But won't let me
Drink even the smallest sip
Tell me your secrets
Like I've told you mine
And the promises that I'll keep
So here are my hands
And here is my breath
And here, my dear
In the clear, is where I stand
Here I stand before you
Arms outstretched
My ribs open and bare

Next Time You Fly
03:50
|

I think we hit a plateau
We're on unstable ground
I want to go higher
You want to go lower
But we can't stay where we are
The next time you fly over me
I won't be the same as yesterday
The next time you fly over me
I won't be the same
I think we hit a brief snag
A small crack in the surface
I want to mend it with super glue
And you want to let it rip
The next time you fly over me
I won't be the same as yesterday
The next time you fly over me
I won't be the same
I think we made a bad call
I want to see an instant replay
I think we made a bad choice
I want a chance to review the tape
The next time you fly over me
I won't be the same
The next time you fly over me
I won't be the same
The next time you fly
I won't be the same
I won't be the same
The next time you fly
The next time you fly
I won't be the same
I won't be the same
The next time you fly
The next time you fly

Here's To Fastballs
03:29
|

3am and cold out
Darker than most anything
The kids have all up and gone away
Say the last of our goodbyes
As we pack up the van again
Tomorrow's just gonna be another day
Here's to fastballs
And here's to my own room
And here's to a night in my own bed
Here's to fastballs
And here's to home cooked meals
And here's to the nights that drift away
9am and bright out
As we pull in to another town
And a bar room full of folded arms and stares
Probably not my brightest venture
And I'm not always your biggest fan
But God, what I'd give for just one more game
Here's to fastballs
And here's to my own room
And here's to a night in my own bed
Here's to fastballs
And here's to home cooked meals
And here's to the nights that drift away
Here's to fastballs
And here's to my own room
And here's to a night in my own bed
Here's to fastballs
And here's to home cooked meals
And here's to the nights that drift away
That drift away
That drift away
3am and cold out
Darker than most anything
God, what I'd give for just one more game

Goodnight, Goodnight
01:59

You're probably right
I'm more of a broken record
Still running backwards
Up and falling down
So I'll patch the holes
And I'll count off the big mistakes
Like the time I forgot the words
To that song about angels
Goodnight goodnight
Seen one too many movies
Where the bad guy
Gets away
Read too many fairy-tales
With happy every after
So I'll patch the holes
And I'll count off the big mistakes
Like the time I forgot the words
To that song about angels
Goodnight goodnight
So I'll patch the holes
And I'll cover up my bruises
But I finally did remember all the words
To that song about angels
Goodnight goodnight
