November in the city square
and it's funny now that you're not there
Sometimes the voices in my head
Say hold on, this ain't over yet
The snare drum with the broken skin
and she's crying "won't you let me in?"
Brace yourself
Face yourself
You know it's only a matter of time
The blue glow of a laptop screen
the texture of a magazine
Sometimes, in my living room
I wonder "will this be over soon?"
The steel strings on the beaten wood
and she's crying; if I only could
Brace yourself
Face yourself
You know it's only a matter of time
And every time that you feel the pain
but shrug it off and get back up again
move forward, move forward

Hey mister wise man please come let me in
I got the password dead wrong but I can try again
It's some ancient incantation or modern day slang
Otherwise why'd you answer the door when I rang?
My soul still feels broken so this comes from the heart
Of a traveller who's tired of endless fresh starts
and a punk who was trained in some useless field
so come cry on my shoulder, cause I know how it feels
He mister wise man come walk with me
We can talk about music and science, how they both hold the key
to living with some greater purpose in mind
Ain't it strange how misgivings are harder to find
I know that I cam from the west side of town,
but don't hold that against me, I shattered my crown
I gave all of my rubies and pearls to a man
who then traded them in for architectural plans
Hey mister wise man please tell me the truth
cause I can't figure out what's the matter with you

She is a place that you get stuck in
she is a pain you can't erase
I've spent years looking for a respite
I've got tears coming my way
She is the place that I called home
She has a face I've come to know
She was nothing but the best to me
She don't know I'm gonna leave
The inside of my mind has no more corners
in which she has not taken up
When I go, she'll be all alone
but even that thought's not enough
She is the place that I called home
She has a face I've come to know
She was nothing but the best to me
She don't know I'm gonna leave
She was the place that I called home
She had a face I came to know
She was nothing but the best to me
Even so, I'm gonna leave

Hey Officer

Hey officer, what'd you pull me over for?
I know that I was speeding, but I was running from the war
I got no stomach for fighting so I thought I'd try my luck up North
and that's the honest truth for whatever that's still worth
Hey officer, can you let me off this time?
See I'm trapped in a world where I can't find reason or rhyme
My television scares me and I don't read the paper no more
Hey officer, what'd you pull me over for?
Hey sheriff, man I think there's been some mistake
Your man just brought me in here pulled me over out by Cherokee Lake
I was explaining to him why I won't be sticking round no more
Hey sheriff, man what'd he pull me over for?
Please, your honor, this is turning into some bad dream
All I did was run from a country bursting at the seams
If you're saying that's illegal, guess I won't be walking out that door
Hey officer, what'd you pull me over for?
