Pushing Daisies (Live)

There’s a mariners church where my friend and I’d go When we wanted our talk cheap and our coffee cold Silent grey men at the tables alone

Watching newspapers fade and old friends get old

Loneliness means different things to each person To me open water’s as low as room service

And I don’t think I could go on for so long Away from a love without fearing its gone

Maybe if I was a kid again

I could hold you without my hands Killing time in my fantasies

Center stage dressed in velveteen Felt real to me

I know you think that I’m crazy

But you look like crushes I had who are now pushing daisies And I don’t understand why,

I don’t understand time, but I try

I've always been drawn to the things that hold up

Played you Arthur McBride as you filled up your cup Kind of song that sounds like its always been sung

Born in the soil, and grown straight up, through the mud

I was falling so hard for you

Watched my eyes change from green to blue Never said it was love I was feeling

Called it fun and then stared at the ceiling Like I’m supposed to do

And when I get older I know you will be One of ten million faces I’ve seen

But I will hear every word you said ’Til my ears rot away from my head ’Til I’m too far gone to be dead

’Til there’s nothing but silence left ’Til there’s nothing but silence left
