Deep Time 03:46
Down by the beach in November the sand on our feet is so cold. No one will know what they’re saying. No one will say what they know. Deep time, deep time. About the time our eyes met we’d tried it. Before the words began to form we’d said it all. Future became history. All the things you’ll say to me are written on the wall.

There’s someone you depend on. There’s a place that you can go. There’s a time you can go outside. But there’s still so much to know. Don’t come home. They can’t know the way things changed, where you go. You’ll break and own the whole damn show. You’ll be living here the sun’s last glow. Open wide the gates on main street Find those cats we thought we owned. Paint it up just like the 70s Noodle soup and heavy phones. Don’t come home. They won’t know. How things change. You should go. You’ll have to run the whole damn show You’ll be living as their son’s last glow. Waves of buffalo Rows of elm trees Glaciers in the mountains Clear blue waters There is someone to depend on. There is a place to go. There’s a time to go outside. But there’s still so much to do. Don’t come home. They can’t know the way things changed, where you go. You’ll break and own the whole damn show. You’ll be living here the sun’s last glow. There’s...

On the road if you’re careful you go slow. Once you get your rhythm back your mind’s the thing that goes. Listen to the trees whisper secrets in the breeze. They can see a future that will bring you to your knees. Listen to the river say what it wants to say. Catch the clouds' message before they fade away. Watch the sunshine flicker out a song. Run into the meadow: your home not before too long.

When daylight comes we will stand up tall, backs to the sun. When a new day comes we’ll hold our hands out to everyone. When the morning comes you lift your eyes but you won’t run. What’s done is done. Now brace yourself for what’s to come. When freedom falls we will help it up and tear down walls. When names are called we will reflect the shame back on them all. When the morning comes you lift your eyes and you won’t run. What’s done is done. Now brace yourself for what’s to come. This land is your land this land is my land. This land is your land this land is my land. When ignorance reigns we will spread the truth without constraints. Our faith is gone. In its place hard facts, hard won. When the morning comes you lift your eyes and you won’t run. What’s done is done. Now brace yourself for what’s to come. This land is your land, this land is my land This land is my land, this land is your land.

Back before she figured you, she danced beside you two by two. Shared a world of thought and hope and reason. You thought you saw her there, running fingers through her hair. It's a dream. Dream. "Wonderful," she said to me, "keep on being who you wanna be. But this is my stop. I'm getting off." Beautiful she is to me. Still have the key she gave to me. It's on a chain I'm never taking off. Another person lived with you. You went together two by two. Shared a world of thought and hope and reason Taught the person how to be. One day she woke and she was free. It's a dream. Dream. "Wonderful," she said to me. "Keep on being who you wanna be. But this is my stop. I'm getting off." Beautiful she is to me. Still have the key she returned to me. It's on a chain I'm never taking off. I don't want to float away. And I don't want to overstay. "Wonderful," she said to me, "keep on being who you wanna be. But this is my stop, and this is where I'm getting off." Beautiful she is to me. Still have the key she returned to me. It's on a chain I'm never taking off. Beautiful she is to me. Still have the key she returned to me. It's on a chain I'm never taking off.

On the trail no one comes for you. On the trail no one asks for you. When you get there you crumble to the ground. When you get there you want to be found.

Left Behind 03:00
Coming from the valley below I don’t know your ways up where the trees sway. Let me tell you why tonight below your clearer night sky. I’ve been on the road since the outbreak. Will you be the first friend I make? Will you share your water and your bread with someone half dead? I’ve got something to share with you: she left it and she meant it too. It’s yours until the day you find what it means to be left behind. Coming from the valley below I don’t know your ways up where the trees sway.

Norway's got a mountain without a name. It rises above the ocean just the same. And if you saw it... it's just as beautiful. It's just as beautiful.

In The Sun 01:25
Morning comes, the morning comes. In the sun.

Hey, did you ever wake up in a strange place? Hey, were you ever unsure it it was dawn or dusk from the light outside? Hey, did you ever forget that the sun shines? Hey, were you ever surprised to feel the wind on your skin? Sometimes I step back light years and see what everyone fears: That I'm a moment in space and I'm a moment in time and that makes everything fine. But I shoulda grown outta this. I shoulda grown outta this. I shoulda grown outta this by now. I shoulda grown outta this. I shoulda grown outta this by now. Hey, did you ever wonder what your name is? Hey, did you ever find out a memory was just a photograph? Hey, did you ever forget about the sunshine? Hey, were you ever surprised at the feel of the wind on your skin? Sometimes I step back light years and see what everyone fears: That I'm a moment in space and I'm a moment in time and that makes everything fine. But I shoulda grown outta this. I shoulda grown outta this. I shoulda grown outta this by now. I shoulda grown outta this. I shoulda grown outta this by now.

Making Plans 02:22
Sitting in the dark, making plans. Feeling our own way. Holding hands. Hands. Holding hands. Plans. Making plans. Out into the sun. Holding back. The circle closes in around the band. Holding hands. Back. Holding back. Out into the sun. Holding back. The circle closes in around the band. Holding hands. Back. Holding back. Hands. Holding hands. Plans. Making plans.

In the back of your mind: Taking care of the young. In the back of your mind: Taking care of the old. In the back of your mind: Taking care of yourself. In the back of your mind, in the back of your mind.
