Love and War
Don't detonate me
Don't serenade me
Don't complicate me, no
It takes investigating
And some penetrating
It takes a lot to makes things whole
To all the boys who've loved before
To all the girls who've wanted more
To all of us who knew the score
No war, no more, no war
You can't consecrate me
Stop me from obfuscating
Don't sneak up on me, no
Oh lord, what a terrible liar
The world was when so young
You got to say ah, you got to spit it out, you got to make no sense
To all the boys who've loved before
To all the girls who've wanted more
To all of us who knew the score
No war, no more, no war
To all the boys who've loved before
To all the girls who've wanted more
To all of us who knew the score
No war, no more, no war
To all the boys who've loved before
To all the girls who've wanted more
To all of us who knew the score
Love and war, love and war, love and war

The Dreamer's Song
It all comes down to dreaming on the starling
It felt like a heart in disguise
You found a way to balance everything on Broadway
Before the sun would rise
The morning sleep inside so warm
A little baby made to curl the day
The sidewalk slowly disappeared and
The mouth of heaven opened wide
In the dreamer's song
In the dreamer's song
Don't walk away, don't hesitate,
Don't finally leave the world so frightening
In the dreamer's song
It all comes down to seeing what you don't see
A little bit of love on the side
The way to balance is knowing what you can't be
And bringing it along for the ride
The morning sees itself so cold
You, little baby, you're the only way
Go and make the sidewalk reappear and
Burst the heart, you're alive
In the dreamer's song
In the dreamer's song
Don't walk away, don't hesitate,
Don't suddenly leave the world so frightening
In the dreamer's song
In the dreamer's song
In the dreamer's song
Don't walk away, don't hesitate,
Don't suddenly leave the world so frightening
In the dreamer's song

In the Light
Angel hears him as he walks on down the hallway
She notices his gait and coming
She thinks about the way the shimmy is exciting
And the light that she finds so funny
In the light, she finds him funny
In the dark, she thinks it's love
In the light, she finds him funny
In the dark, she thinks it's love
All around little miracles in the woodshop
Every morning is the warning of the final resuscitating
This hypothetical is in no way exploding
Like a fire reaching higher, like a liar, that man up on the wire
In the light, she finds him funny
In the dark, she thinks it's love
In the light, she finds him funny
In the dark, she thinks it's love
In the light, she finds him funny
In the dark, she thinks it's love
In the light, she finds him funny
In the dark, she thinks it's love
In the light, she finds him funny
In the dark, she thinks it's love oh...oh...oh...oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh

Memoir
You thought you could stay up for a while and write about it
You thought you could stay new
You thought you could transform everything that you touched
You liked to think it through
You thought you could sell pineapples to oranges
And poetry too
You thought the plan was simple when you started now
Before it became true
Is this love
Is this love
Is this love
Is this love
You thought you checked your catalog of smiles
To find the right one to show them
You thought this feeling would stay young
That you'd never crawl out of it
You said you like to spin in circles
Until you fall down
So why did you go and tell all my friends you like to spin in circles
But you never fall down
Is this love
Is this love
Is this love
Is this love
And every single passage
Leads back to this
It's the memory, it's the question
That never leaves my head
Is this love
Is this love
Is this love
Is this love
