Personality Test

My personality test came back
Said my sun was blue and my moon was black
Like a back-handed compliment
I knew exactly what it meant
It was going to be hard to be you
Why's it always so hard to be you
Even fully grown we're never part of a plan
Like the head of a woman with the heart of a man
It leaves your hair a mess on the sidewalk
It's a moment's truth when you're trying to talk
It's in all the stupid things we do
Why's it always so hard to be you
Sunday morning on a Saturday
Time for church, time to sit a play
Hear the choir of yellow strings
It's in the wires and everything
It's in all the things we do
Why's it always so hard to be you
I got a little soul
I want to let you know
I'm gonna let is show
My personality test came back
On the road, trying to be alone
On the phone, trying to get back home
Even grown-ups want their ice cream
And need to wake up from their bad dreams
Why you make it so hard to be you
Why's it always so hard to be you
My personality test came back

Every Day is You

Every day, every day is you
You've been on the street so long, you're never fooled
You know if I could I would've gone to the same school
But I don't get it, I'm always the last to know
Following my heart until my blood runs cold
Every day, every day is you
We've been holding each other like shiny stones
If you knew how much that makes me feel alone
I don't think you would, I don't think you could
I thing that you would rather take me home
Every day, every day is you
And I know our love will light everything in our way
Everybody's always asking how're you doing?
No one wants to hear all about the ruins
I know it's hard, every scene ain't love
Like riding in the back seat when push comes to shove
Every day, every day is you

Truth Keeps Waiting
04:13
|

|
I ain't afraid I heard the sound
Of gravity spinning the world around
In the light of the stars, we're all glory bound
Ain't looking for salvation in the lost and found
She opened up that box and made the world see
'Til the truth gets known not one of us is free
The snake in the grass becomes the rope in the tree
You talk about freedom but you hold the lock and key
I want to know we can make it
Can we really change it
More giving than taking
The truth keeps waiting
The jailer collects his pay in the dark
The dirty work's where he decides to make a mark
While good people struggle just to get a start
His limousine's out on the town for a lark
You can let a man be a man
You can close the door or let him make a stand
We're all marking time like water and sand
No one knows why but I am what I am
