Why’s it gotta be so tough
I’ve yet to learn a thing about love
After all that we’ve been through
I still don’t know how to love you
Know how to love you.
I just wanna get this out
I wish I didn’t know what I know
These memories won’t let me go
It’s what keeps me in
It’s what locks me out
Oh faith don’t fail me now
It’s not your fault (it’s all my fault)
This wayward heart was bound to get caught
Red-handed and ashamed
I let myself get burned by another flame.
I just wanna get this out
I wish I didn’t know what I know
These memories won’t let me go
It’s what keeps me in
It’s what locks me out
Oh faith won’t fail me now
What can I say for this body now
While I waste away?
Let me out
I may fall apart
But even if I do
You’re faithful aren’t You?
mewithoutYou’s It’s All Crazy! It’s All False! It’s All a Dream! It’s Alright got off to a strong start debuting at 75 on the billboard 200 chart. It is their most accessable album to date with more singing than on any other previous album. But it still has it’s quirky and for some controversial moments. For those who take the journey they are rewarded with songs like Bullet To Binary (pt. 2)
Bullet To Binary (pt. 2)
let us die, let us die!
in dying we reply
and lower our baskets down
into the open bed
of the fruit truck passing by
and we can smile at each other again
me and my cantelope friend
cast our cares at the couple of pears
put a blueberry garland on an apple bed
the apple threw our half baked fears
like a wooden shoe in the windmill gear
the turning stopped and we clearly saw
the flaws in that which finds the flaw
the strawberry said to the tangerine
“my face is red but our hats are green”
be it orchard or a curling vine
the son of yours is the Son that’s my
God…
…
lettuce grows, lettuce grows
in neatly sectioned beds and rows
but one day asked the gardener
to be moved to where the eggplant goes
so ??? “i must confess
i adore her shining purple dress”
as the eggplant listened in
she wasn’t offended but she wasn’t impressed
the potato called from underground
“you’ve got it all turned upside down!
does the rain that sent each spring anew
to fall on her not fall on you?
you project on her your inward scene
she’s a blank external movie screen
but the One who looks out from your eyes
looks through hers and looks through mine
we all well know
we’re gonna reap what we sow
we all well know
we’re all gonna reap what we sow
so may we old fashionably suggest
the unmarried not undress
we well know
we’re gonna reap what we sow
we all well know
we’re gonna reap what we so
we all well know
what kind of crops are gonna grow
from each time you disrespect your parents
you better hope we don’t hear it
we who know
you’re gonna reap what you sow
we all well know
we’re gonna reap what we sow
but grace, we all know
can take the place of all we owe
so why not, let’s forgive everyone everywhere everything
all the time everyone everywhere everything

Oh well, I love you pretty baby
You’re the only love I’ve ever known
Just as long as you stay with me
The whole world is my throne
Beyond here lies nothin’
Nothin’ we can call our own
Well, I’m movin’ after midnight
Down boulevards of broken cars
Don’t know what I’d do without it
Without this love that we call ours
Beyond here lies nothin’
Nothin’ but the moon and stars
Down every street there’s a window
And every window’s made of glass
We’ll keep on lovin’ pretty baby
For as long as love will last
Beyond here lies nothin’
But the mountains of the past
Well, my ship is in the harbor
And the sails are spread
Listen to me, pretty baby
Lay your hand upon my head
Beyond here lies nothin’
Nothin’ done and nothin’ said
