lyrics

Gentle Ears
Since there ain't no escape
I think I'll be a door
open all the time
gentle ears
spending endless nights
drifting out the window
searching for the waves
to take us to a shore
that's long since washed away
and keeping us from
the open sea
sweet pacific souls
a death
where we don't hide
cuz everyone is
an open door
with endless room
to breathe

sick of
sick of
sick of reasons
it's all the same
we all
we all
got it so wrong
one day
we'll listen

perfection's such
a dreary dream
dizzy boots
drawn out dance
at the rodeo
these little joys
are big enough
to share this
dying last
with you
we lose
the voice to sing
the day we stop
listening
gentle ears
a holding hand
as your soul
drifts out to sea

hold on
hold on
to nothing
and you've got room

she gives us a chance
all the air that we breathe
all she ever wanted kept driftin away
she gives us a chance
all the air that we breathe
all she ever wanted kept driftin away
she gives us a chance
all the air that we breathe
all she ever wanted kept driftin away
her children's songs
lead to ruin
of dead ends

dead roads
adorned with mirrors
reflecting everything
I thought
I'd got
away from

tired of
owing more
than we could ever
own
come
and take it
now
then let us
go

perfection's such
a dreary dream
dizzy boots
drawn out dance
at the rodeo
these little joys are
big enough
to make this
dying last
with you
we lose the voice
to sing
the day we stop
listening
gentle ears
and a holding hand
as your soul
drifts out to sea


she gives us a chance
all the air that we breathe
all she ever wanted
kept driftin away
she gives us a chance
all the air that we breathe
all she ever wanted
was a song for change
for gentle ears
sung by the kids
whose love's the only
thing that's sane

Never in style but never played out either. Honesty, rawness, sincerity and real instruments are always pretty cool.
