Natural Born Night Owls ~ Lyrics

---Haus Mule---

O! the awful face 
 You make when you look my way
But as hard as you try 
Try to darken my days
I keep my eyes on the lights 
Here in front of my face
Because up here on the stage Everything else fades away...

I won't let you bring me down
 No more worries flood my mind
O! you can try, you can try
But you have made my heart blind...

And so, as you pass by, 
I will gaze into your eyes
And you will try, you will try, 
Not to let them meet mine
Oh, your beauty and your youth, 
It is your own
But the loss of your soul 
Has become well known
So now, your loveliness will fade, Day by day...

And you won't find me 'round your way
As now, you've vanished from my mind
Oh you can try, you can try
But I know you never will be mine…

---Similar Flaws---

The last 3 days, when I woke up
I thought I'd find you lying there
But I awake to find no one at all
Yet, your image, it still 
Haunts these sheets 
And reoccurs within my dreams
So now all i want is 
You here next to me…

Sometimes we're bent out of shape
Because we share such similar flaws…

We fear that we don't know 
How to change
But what we really needs is
The time and the ability to
See from an understandable 
Point of view
And, just so you know,
I would never do anything
That I knew would hurt you…

Sometimes we're bent out of shape
Because we share such similar flaws…
---Mountains in The Morning---

Mountain passes made our mornings
The sun rise always 
Just out of sight
My beliefs are subjective 
To my frame of mind
My beliefs are subjective 
To my frame of mind

From an over look 
Where we share this view
The clouds are rising up 
To meet us now
The afternoon's chill 
Will bring us closer
As though the wind 
Wants for us to be together...

From this building where we lay
Here I await the breaking day...
---Onward, Through The Cold---

Clouds of white 
Surrounded our small homes
As they fell down 
We were unprepared
The cover of snow, 
Chilled us to the bone
We fell to our knees 
As we cursed the air...

Who decides the choices in your life?
And how can you tell 
What is wrong and right?
Is your conscience clear enough now 
To look back and smile?
Or does it keep you 
Up in bed at night?...

So are you prepared to 
Leave your fears behind?
I can tell that you're concerned, 
But I can't read your mind
I have often heard before that 
Love is blind
So are you prepared to 
Leave your fears behind?... 
---A Blessing & A Curse---

Awaiting a train uptown
The ache of winter, 
Clinging to my bones
Moving my pen with the wind
The moon glows full 
In the darkness of the night
Shining through the cover of 
Dim grey clouds
Fading into a crimson sky
The actions of the new year
Have left my senses numb...

Must this show go on?
Must this show go on?
Or will you grow?...

If each day rises to 
fear and anger
It's best to rethink 
Your daily routines
And not to worry about
The mysteries that you'll never know
Besides, they'll only bring you pain
And wreak havoc on your brain
So its best to move on
And let them go
If you ever expect to grow...

Must this show go on?
Must this show go on?
Or will you grow?...
---For Miles i Drive---

Oh my god 
What have I done?!
Left your house 
With no will to return
Drove out of your life
And went on for miles
Until I found 
A warm place to lie down…

When you awoke
I was already gone
You slept through my departure
Now you're on your own
But I'm gonna try
To act surprised
When you realize 
You want me in your life…
---No Hands---

No hands can hold me like hers do
The cold of the winter 
Releases my bones
And her fevered mind is put at ease
But sometimes we seem miles away 
In my dreams...

So as she turns her gaze towards me
To make sure the night 
It has not done me wrong
I will sincerely crack a smile
And tell her that things aren't Always what they seem...

For I can not hide from her
That without her I'd feel
Lost in a world, 
Lost in a world,
Lost in a world, 
Lost in a world of color...
---15 North---

Do you love me 
The way I love you dear?
Does it make you sweat 
When I'm near?
As we grow apart, 
Our hearts they separate
I'd try to save you, but 
I fear I'm too late…

The distances we've crossed 
Keep us longing
Our ambition as wide as the sea…

All our dreams were laid out 
Right in front of us
But the tide came in and 
Washed away our thoughts
So now, on a broken ship, 
I sail towards the sun
In hopes that some day 
I may retrieve your love…

And when I find it 
I'll hold it close
And I'll fear no more
And search for you 
On the ocean floor...

But you were anchored to a creature
Who produced for you 
The most beautiful pearls
You said that you no longer needed 
My kind of love
And to return now to the land, 
Where i was born
And leave you there 
At the bottom of the sea…

She said "if you truly love me, 
set me free…"

if you truly love me, set me free
if you truly love me, let me be...
---Waiting In The Fall (Pt. I)---

One summer night 
One summer night
While the moon was high
I took my time 
I took my time
Making sure I was right
Cause you were full of lies, 
You were full of lies
Always starting fights
So I couldn't find, 
I could find out
How to keep you or why…

So hide in the pines 
Hide in the pines
You can run all night
I wouldn't mind 
I wouldn't mind
Your bark, it outweighs your bite
O! You were gonna try, 
You were gonna try
Try to make things right
But I still can't find 
I still can't find out
How to keep you or why…
---Waiting In The Fall (Pt. II)---

Upon my innocence you have preyed 
Your affection so rare
Once it was a love 
That was so pristine, 
Now your heart is just bare... 

So we fell upon a rocky path
Now through new moments 
You must grow
I hope you greet them daily
With a renewed sense of ease...

Far from the spring
Far from the summer
Waiting in the fall...

Far from the spring
Far from the summer
Waiting in the fall...
