Tell me something I ain’t heard before Show me someplace no one’s looking for I wanna stake out a new frontier I’ve been in my head for too long Running auburn fields in the broad daylight With these fists unwound and left open wide The song of summer in both my ears And nothing left to string along No, there’s nothing left to string along These are new lands And I’ve got mountains left to climb In these new lands There’s something bigger than me I can take my stand And finally have a reason to feel alive Yeah, these are new lands And I’m running fast and free Well, the cold brick walls where I’ve made my home They got awfully tall without room to grow Gonna pitch this tent past the county line I’ll be on my way before too long Got too tangled up in my own devices Liberties sold at discount prices Changing tides in the place I stood You start drifting until you’re gone Yeah, you start drifting until you’re gone But these are new lands And I’ve got mountains left to climb In these new lands There’s something bigger than me I can take my stand And finally have a reason to feel alive Yeah, these are new lands And I’m running fast and free Well, all that’s broken is Never permanent, it’s Nothing more, nothing more Than you want it to be These are new lands And I’ve got mountains left to climb In these new lands There’s something bigger than me I can take my stand And finally have a reason to feel alive Yeah, these are new lands And I’m running fast and free These are new lands And I’m running fast and free

Just around the door jamb Waiting for my next chance Try this one on for size It’s a real heartbreaker I could meet you at your last nerve Let me fill in all the blank words If you need another story I’m your new narrator I’ll take my sweet time If I want to I’ll be here all night ‘Til you come to Creeping through your mind Like an assassin Call it inevitability Fancy running into me I’ve got a tendency To show up uninvited I’ve been told that I’m the jealous type I’ll be here but don’t you pay me mind I’ll keep my weapons under wraps If you stay nearsighted I’ll take my sweet time If I want to I’ll be here all night ‘Til you come to Creeping through your mind Like an assassin So don’t you run away You know I’ll find a way To keep you right inside my crosshairs So don’t you run away You know I’ll find a way To keep you right inside my crosshairs

Nothing was holy in the month of June Your friends were smoking in the living room We’re on the front porch talking through the cop car serenade Tell me some more about that Dylan song Look at that sunset burning through the lawn We've got a little bit of calm in the middle of a hurricane And baby, in a different life We’d never even have to say goodbye And we could live this night forever Yeah, we could live this night forever Wish I could flicker off the city lights And pull you close beneath the fireflies I wanna live this night forever Yeah, we could live this night forever The street’s been empty for an hour or so Your neighbor kills their engine and their radio You say you kinda like the quiet, I've been feeling just the same Well I’m a hundred miles from who I was before You’ve got your scars, honey I’ve got more You’ve got my heart wide open, and I hardly even know your name And baby, in a different life We’d never even have to say goodbye And we could live this night forever Yeah, we could live this night forever Wish I could flicker off the city lights And pull you close beneath the fireflies I wanna live this night forever Yeah, we could live this night forever And baby, in a different life We’d never even have to say goodbye And we could live this night forever Yeah, we could live this night forever Wish I could flicker off the city lights And pull you close beneath the fireflies I wanna live this night forever Yeah, we could live this night forever

Sunflower Bouquet 04:06

Run back to an August afternoon Halfway wrapped ’round a Petty tune AC’s out and I don’t care AC’s out and I don’t care First love, deer in the headlights Last call for the rest of your life AC’s out and I don’t care AC’s out and I don’t care The years won’t always wear out their welcome It’s a shimmer in a kid’s eye It’s an eighteen-wheeler blowing by It’s the way we’re all trying The way we’re all trying To keep whatever’s fading away It’s the pop of a catcher’s mitt It’s a summer that you’ll never forget It’s a tear in the eye We all hate goodbyes And life’s a sunflower bouquet Cornfields wrapped ‘round a cul-de-sac When dinner’s ready I’ll be out back Time runs his mouth and I don’t care Time runs his mouth and I don’t care Eleven years, a twelve-bar blues Grandpa’s in heaven and he’s proud of you Time runs his mouth and I don’t care Time runs his mouth and I don’t care The years won’t always wear out their welcome It’s a shimmer in a kid’s eye It’s an eighteen-wheeler blowing by It’s the way we’re all trying The way we’re all trying To keep whatever’s fading away It’s the pop of a catcher’s mitt It’s a summer that you’ll never forget It’s a tear in the eye We all hate goodbyes And life’s a sunflower bouquet Life’s a sunflower bouquet Life’s a sunflower bouquet Life’s a sunflower bouquet
