From the recording Until the Oceans Rise, Vol. 1
Lyrics
I been feelin better I tore up all the letters you wrote but now I’m waitin’ for anyone to notice me. Maybe I should total my car or set my house on fire.
I been hoping I was changing with all this rearranging you’d think that I was moving away but I ain’t moving away. It’s never been clearer that I’m still here.
And I been counting crows, but I don’t believe they know that I watch and now I’m waiting for all of them to cover me. Maybe if I give ‘em a yell they will shroud me in black.
I ain’t sayin that I’m dyin but a part of me is trying to climb out of the depths of this well and I been slippin away. It’s never been clearer I lost my grip.
Life is long. At times it feels we get it wrong. But it’s only time. These moments that make up our lives are here and then they’re gone. And we don’t have a choice but to move on.
After all it’s just a passing phase.
Pull those pictures down and save the frames for better days because...
After all it’s just a passing phase.
Lately I been waiting for you to turn up out of the blue but then I wonder, would you even notice me? Maybe if I shaved my face or cut my hair.
Well I bet you never think of the things that I been thinkin about. I been getting lost in my mind and now I’m tryin to find a way to get out of here and leave you there.
Life is short. Yea at times it feel like we wanted more. But it’s only time. These moments that make up our lives are here and then they’re gone. And we don’t have a choice but to move on.
After all it’s just a passing phase.
Pull those pictures down and save the frames for better days because...
After all it’s just a passing phase.
Everyone is growin but I’ve been layin low. And I can’t believe that time betrayed me so suddenly. Maybe I should build a machine and do it over again.
I ain’t sayin I regret it. Or wish I could forget it. But part of me is missing the days when everything was ahead. Now I’m lookin behind more than out in front.
A passing phase. What an easy thing for me to say. But...this life is long. I know I’ll end up where I belong, but for now I’ll write a song...and wait for something else to come along.
After all it’s just a passing phase.
I write these lyrics down and save the rest for better days because...
After all it’s just a passing phase.
Harmonica...
Harmonica...
THE END ☺
