Silver in the Foothills

|
[Verse 1]
Looking out across a valley
The windswept vista of my dreams
And at the edge of this reality
Nothing's ever as it seems
[Chorus]
There's silver in the foothills
But that's so far away from here
How can I change my mind or direction?
When my compass points the same
When my values haven't changed
[Verse 2]
There's nothing I can do to change that
Nowhere I can turn or run
These city lights they never soothed me
Amid the sirens and neon
[Chorus]
There's silver in the foothills
But that's so far away from here
How can I change my mind or direction?
When my compass points the same
When my values haven't changed

Tongues

[First Verse]
Go on
Speak slowly in your own tongue
And if I get the translation wrong
Would you let me know?
Or let me sound like a fool?
[Chorus]
[Second Verse]
And I respond
Speaking stuttered in my English tongue
Hoping not to get my meaning wrong
But for so long
I’ve been tongue-tied
When trying to talk to you
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And if I speak too slowly
You’ll probably let me know
But if I get it right
Tonight
Well, okay
[Third Verse]
Later on
We can tangle our foreign tongues
To see if the friendship we spun
Was just for fun
Or if there could be something more
Going on
[Chorus]

Queen Double Standard
03:49
|

|
[Verse 1]
You played the damsel in distress
damn desiring another man's caress
under the sheets of some forbidden silk
with a thread count that could cover up the guilt
from your scandal
[Chorus]
Queen Double Standard
You made your bed
now won't you sleep in it, too?
when you want to
whatever you're out to prove
well, who needs proof
when all the truth
was left to you?
[Verse 2]
You had an empire and a fantasy
brought down by foreign and domestic enemies
You played the victim in a tragic scene
Ain't it fun to play pretend and make believe?
I will not pander
[Chorus]
Queen Double Standard
You made your bed
now won't you sleep in it, too?
when you want to
whatever you're out to prove
well, who needs proof
when all the truth
was left to you?
[Bridge]
Why should I explain when you know what you did?
Bounced around some beds
disappeared for the weekend
ring ring goes the bells of your phone
knock knock knock but no one's home
Why should I explain when you know what you did?
Bounced around some beds
disappeared for the weekend
ring ring goes the bells of your phone
knock knock knock but no one's home
Who dethroned me?
Took my crown and exiled me?
and defiled everything about me
until I'm screaming jealously
"it's all for you"
[Chorus]
Queen Double Standard
You made your bed
now won't you sleep in it, too?
when you want to
whatever you're out to prove
but who needs proof
when all the truth
is left to you?
who needs proof
when all the truth
is lost on you?

Oslo, California

|
[First Verse]
You made the trip and I tripped the trap
from Oslo to California and back
was I just supposed to become a ghost?
like the fog that lines your coasts
I'll just linger on
then leave
[Chorus]
Lately I've been clipping all your wings from you
and lately when I sing I rarely think of you
except for right now
[Second Verse]
We always seemed to fall behind
at the wrong place in a different time
and through and through I became more useless
but more used to you
ain't it funny how that goes?
[Chorus]
Well, lately I've been clipping all your wings from you
and lately when I sing I rarely think of you
except for right now
[Outro]
Now you're nowhere to be found
You don't hang around
You don't hear a sound
when they ask you
don't you love your home?

[First Verse]
The stars were shining bright
in the Argentinean night
but somehow the constellations
got unaligned
and now I’m standing in line
in tides
rolling with my mind
and masquerading is fine
if you’ve got nothing to hide
come on and show me the sweeter side
[Chorus]
And under a crumbling steeple
relationships ruin good people
and they said
“God gave us love”
but the devil in Cain
killed Abel’s dove
so it’s a different day today
[Second Verse]
Aaron are you a drifter
or do you have a home?
I’m in a bad place
and I’m basically alone
let’s just trade our hats
when it all hits the fan
you can have it all back
living on this beaten track
ain’t really living at all
[Chorus]
And under a crumbling steeple
relationships ruin good people
and they said
“God gave us love”
but the devil in Cain
killed Abel’s dove
so it’s a different day today
and I feel different day to day
[Outro]
yeah, it’s a different day today
and I feel different day to day

I Will Love You
03:26
|

|
[Verse 1]
Did you think
You'd ever recover
From the storms you brewed
And tides you turned
On all of your friends
Just to come back
And make amends
[Verse 2]
Unhappiness
Is your part-time lover
You threw up your walls
So you never discovered
The life you could leave
Apart from the buffoons
You've entertained
[Chorus]
Still this stupid city skyline
Ain't the same without your smile
Silhouetted by the sunset
Of some ever-changing style
We turned on Grand
And I said
I will love you
I will love you
I will love you
Like I always have
[Verse 3]
You came and went
And nothing happened
Questions were asked
And my answers were at risk
Of showing my hand
Woe be the willful ignorance
Of some gamblin' man
[Chorus]
Still this stupid city skyline
Ain't the same without your smile
Silhouetted by the sunset
Of some ever-changing style
I took your hand
And I said
I will love you
I will love you
I will love you
Like I always have
And I said
I will love you
I will love you
I will love you
Like I always have
And I said
I will love you
I will love you
I will love you
Like I always have

Another Glass of Wine
04:01
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
I open up another bottle
another wine I cannot name
the connoisseur can taste the difference
but to me it’s all the same
[Chorus]
a kind of wine that gets me through the night
a kind of wine to ease my thoughts of you
cuz another night without you baby
is another glass of wine
[Verse 2]
I take a slow sip and I breathe it
Let it linger like a sin
an initial hint of some loneliness
and the dark currants deep within
[Chorus]
a kind of wine that gets me through the night
a kind of wine to ease my thoughts of you
cuz another night without you baby
is another glass of wine
[Bridge]
I’m living on vino tinto
on a red eye to Santiago
for someone I can’t see
but it's always like a dream
I’ve been staring at a screen
for months
and now I’m on the cusp
[Chorus]
it’s another night without you baby
it’s another night without baby
it’s another night without you baby
so, it’s another glass of wine
[Outro]
and I say, "yes sir, I will take one more"
I’ll have another glass of wine

[Interlude]
I don't know where it's gonna lead
and I don't know with all this history
I don't know what it's all about
all I know is I don't need this now
I'll sit and think about myself
selfishly and selflessly away from you
is where I'm gonna be

[Verse 1]
I saw you at Sagrada Familia
something in your swagger was so similar
to a girl I used to know
to a love I used to hold
[Chorus]
I still remember those nights
inside your Gaudi room
with your tambourine on the wall
and Spanish Rice you said
was not actually from Spain
what a gringo thing for me to say
[Verse 2]
I saw you at Casa Mila
something in your fragrance felt familiar
but you did not know me at all
no, you did not know me at all
[Chorus]
But I still remember those nights
inside your Gaudi room
with your Joan Miro on the wall
and Spanish Rice you said
was not actually from Spain
what a gringo thing for me to claim
[Verse 3]
I fell on down in Valencia
in a fiery fiesta so peculiar
they torched effigies of your face
my burning desire displaced
[Chorus]
But I still remember those nights
inside your Gaudi room
with Las Fallas flames fanning through
and Spanish Rice you said
was not actually from Spain
what a gringo thing for me to sing

The Wild and Beyond

|
[Verse 1]
Through all of my days
and in my given time
Through all of my days
and in my given time
I'd dream and dance
with any fair girl
that'd give me the chance
Through all of my days
I'd sing my song
to the wild and beyond
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Through all of my days
and in my given time
Through all of my days
and in my given time
I'd pray for peace
knowing that it starts with me
Through all of my days
I'd sing my song
To the wild and beyond
[Chorus]
