Are we already in heaven?

solve + forget i'm so quiet when i'm in loving someone even two days seem like a long time now i'm finally learning the truth do you like it when i talk to you do you think i'm a little stupid i think so too but i do know a think or two about the way my heart runs what am i gonna say when i see you today? it's a mystery solve and forget the answer my heart's a dancer dancing to the music coming off your body what am i gonna saw when i see you today?

Possession 03:47
possession when i think of you and all the things you've been through in your life then i know for sure (ch) the way they talk of love it's like they're talking of something they own i don't want to hear it cause i know for sure love is not a possession it is something that you learn it is something you deserve and when i want a new love it is not a lover i want just what i really want is to come on back to the fold (ch)

ashville farm remedy (ch) i found a remedy like somebody sent to me a sweet old anodyne i'd been trying to find watching the gypsy moths foolin on the hot sidewalk the way they jump and lark makes lighter my heart in the morning time leaving the night behind picking our bodies up to jump in the pond how tall the grass grows how far the wind blows how does the fish know when he's on the line? a group of girls came there auburn and golden hair dressed in their underwear they jumped in the pond (ch)

it was with you all along good morning get your ass out of bed there's a world outside that don't like waiting wake slowly don't think about yourself i know how hard it is to try go out in the country or right back into town maybe i won't go home at all do you ever wake up thinking you got it beat only to realize it was with you all along? i knew it it was me all along but i had to leave before i learned it out smarted feelings trick my mind and i wonder 'am i here at all'? that could be a feeling you can never shed maybe it will chase me til i'm dead do you ever wake up thinking you got it beat only to realize it was with you all along? one day we're gonna figure this all out and if we don't, we'll have a good time trying the stars are sleeping on a cloud my bed's up in the trees there's nothing more from life i need do you ever wake up thinking you lost it all only to realize it was with you all along?

every day i wake up less awake every day i wake up and plan on being here long enough to see it happen i get so tired but life takes more and more i get so tired but likfe takes back more and more of what it gave me every day i wake up less awake every day i wake up

a Stranger 02:14
stranger you don't know it cause i don't show it but i've been a stranger to you you don't feel it but i mean it i've been a stranger to you and i don't know how to introduce myself i'm the dreamer, she's the dream i've been a stranger to myself it's all fine when she's on my mind but now i'm a stranger to myself and i don't know how to introduce myself i'm the dreamer she's the dream i'm the dreamer she's the dream i'm the dreamer she's the dream

brown eyes i learned a little tip down in tennessee if you take a little sip off everyone you meet and dress real fine no one can see the emptiness behind your brown eyes i don't miss her eyes i don't miss her lips i don't miss her sighs it's the thought of her i miss in the morning time, laying by her side wondering if she's going to have to leave it's a long road we all walk down so if you're gonna moan about it do it out of town if you've got a girl do the best you can but don't be surprised if she decides to leave i don't miss her eyes i don't miss her lips i don't miss her sighs it's the thought of her i miss in the evening time, laying by her side wondering if she's going to have to leave i don't miss her eyes i don't miss her lips i don't miss her sighs it's the thought of her i miss was she real at all or did i make her up to be something she could never hope to be

cold water in the A.M. wasted and stoned i've known the feeling stumbling graceless out of the bar in a trance i never stand a chance climbing a fence, through the park, and i'm back home but when i wake up, go to the refrigerator: cold water in the morning makes me feel so good and you know i love that feeling almost as much as i love you walking down my block the silver light is shining on all the people and don't they look good in my minds eye the future is shining leave today, boys! tomorrow is near! when i wake up, go to the refrigerator: cold water in the morning makes me feel so good and you know i love that feeling almost as much as i love you
10.
Old Blue 03:37
old blue i lost everything i had due to a wandering mind but as long as i've got old blue i'll be fine born into sweet life something gave me sweet life and nothings gonna take my life but life itself making love in the fields and the trees making love in the big cities but i still don't know if I can do it tomorrow red sets my heart on fire green burns me in desire but as long as i got old blue i'll be fine i'll be fine i'll be fine i'll be fine i'll be fine i'll be fine
11.
so long i waited for the world (ch) so long i waited for the world to come to me, now that i'm coming to the world, so many voices and words sound like the first i was the river running without memory i was the wind in the trees i was the tree in the breeze whichever i pleased loving another, i couldn't imagine now that i'm here by your side now that i've realized how simple a love can be leaving me breathing your missing and wondering at all of the memories we shared though i'm not sure that you care i'm sure i do (ch) i can't remember when it occured to me something i'm doing's not right do i say that i'm living for love to get out of living life something was missing when i went out searching here i am searching today often i've lost my way but i've never lost hope (ch)
