Lyrics

LITTLE LIGHTER

Highway 1 in the sun...
That?s where its summer time all the time.
?What are you running from??
She asked me so politely.

I thought I?d catch the coast with the most,
Leave behind a dead friend?s ghost,
And try to lose track of time.

Its been a few years.
We drank beers of tears.
I wonder can feel how we used to feel about eachother..

Back then it was all cool summer nights.
It was a light life which we lived.

We?ve given and lost in our separate ways and
The cost to pay is rising every day and there is a
Tidal wave coming down upon me.

Sentimentality can bring you to your knees
If you breathe it in everyday,
But today I need to breathe it to
Survive underneath these waters.

These waters.......

I come to you...to find a piece of me...
That I lost awhile back on the edge
Of a highway on which I have never been.

And as the mud slides houses to the ocean,
I come to you cuz your motion.
I was hoping you could make me less heavy,
Cuz as you dance you ignore gravity so much better than me......

Better than me......

Being with you I can feel a little lighter
Being with you things look a little bit brighter
Being with you I can almost stand the sight of this place I swear
With just the sight of your face.

I?ll be anything and everything you want me to be.
Just as long as you believe in me.
One warning must go along so you
Know what?s up when things go down.
I?m constantly bleeding.

Bleeding

Being with you I can feel a little lighter
Being with you things look a little bit brighter
Being with you I can almost stand the sight of this place I swear
With just the sight of your face

Being with you...a little bit lighter
Being with you...a little bit brighter
