Make yourself at home, 'cause i'm going out Across the street to get us some water 'cause this water's brown, and i'm so embarrassed To have you here but i want you around Usually i'd sing, or play you my guitar But i know it won't get very far with you 'cause you like music that makes you move And mine has a groove, but it's nothing i can prove Please know what I mean When i say, nothing Things that i buy and things that i think Haven't made this a better place to be Drugs that i try and drinks that i drink Haven't made this a better place to be It's still just a room with the drums in the middle A couch along the wall that works as my bed I still have a phone that rings all day I still have things i wish i would of said Please know what i mean When i say, nothing When i say This whole thing's been hard on me It breaks my heart, do you know what that means My new place seems strange to me It breaks my heart, do you know what that means It means nothing

So this is Christmas and what have you done, Another year over, a new one just begun. And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun, The near and the dear ones, the old and the young. A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one without any fears. And so this is Christmas for weak and for strong, The rich and the poor ones, the road is so long. And so happy Christmas for black and for white For the yellow and red ones let's stop all the fights. A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one without any fear. And so this is Christmas and what have we done Another year over, a new one just begun. And so happy Christmas we hope you have fun The near and the dear ones, the old and the young. A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one without any fear. War is over if you want it, war is over now.

Well some they say it's not even funny And there you stand not even trying They say it is in line with the ageing Sometimes noise is just your mind But the lesson is vague in the lightning Shows a dear with her mind on the moor And now something with the sun is just different Since they shook the earth in 1904 And as I lower down I hear it's a message And it's 1902, just telling people to get out And if there was just a way I could tell them It's been long but you were right And the singing is slow and so quiet Like the sound when you sweep off the floor And now something with the dirt is just different Since they shook the earth in 1904 And when the night is young but the bridge is up Something passing by I was sure And the only one you can tell it to Well it's the only one that ever knows And since more robbers made to go through my window Here is something so strange and something louder than before And you living with no light or direction But damn precise and now you know When the leaving is hard but you go now And you feel what you drag across the floor Because something with these trails are just different Since they shook the earth in 1904 And when the night is young but the bridge is up Something passing by I was sure And the only one you will tell it to Well it's the only one who will ever know And some will say it's not even healthy But body is young and mind is sure That something is alright with your thinking Cause they shook the earth in 1904

Come down from the mountain, you have been gone too long The spring is upon us, follow my only song Settle down with me by the fire of my yearning You should come back home, back on your own now The world is alive now, in and outside our home You run through the forest, settle before the sun Darling, I can barely remember you beside me You should come back home, back on your own now And even in the light, when the woman of the woods came by To give to you the word of the old man In the morning tide when the sparrow and the seagull fly And Johnathan and Evelyn get tired Lie to me if you will at the top of Beringer Hill Tell me anything you want, any old lie will do Call me back to you Back to you
