sometimes the unexplained can define you

Nickel Creek lyrics. from the second album.

See the sunshine in your eyes, you try the things you’ve never tried, I’ll be the one who leaves you high high high

I sat down next to a photograph tried my best almost made her laugh she was my toughest crowd there in the way was a mountain up in the clouds, well I can’t sleep and I’m not in love, well I can’t speak without messing up, eyes tell of what’s behind, hers told of a long and a lonely climb, but the failure all proceeded cause you don’t see how far I’ve come and it’s you and me in the silent sea.. it seems to me no mystery.. movement is not mine stood in the way and its not me not my sanctity these aren’t my words to you, its all clear when its nothing here so clear so I’ll try not to speak

There’s a cold and darker side to the moonlight….hanging by a thread...sometimes the unexplained can define you, sometimes silence is the only sound

I’ll not leave my home again… and you dream in colors that have never been made you imagine songs that has never been played they will try to buy you and your mind but only the curious have something to find… truth is a bitter friend… left you cursing the day … there’s no path to follow… climb up the slide then you’ll slide down the stairs… feels like I’m home again… there’s no place to hide but I don’t think I’m scared

Powerless to leash the hands of time

Lonely the life which I led strange the paths on which we tread led me to you unlikely but true… clouding my view… Rainy the day the first time we met deep was the talk forever my debt it didn’t seem wrong to sing a sad song… early the morn you said your goodbye with a wave of your hand and a smile of your eye … I made the mistake you said not to make it’s hard to believe I could be so naïve, flattered but deceived


I’m in a room full of people hanging on one persons breath, we would all vote him most likely to be loved to death… I don’t know where it landed but I’m guessing between green and gray… All eyes upon him except those who mattered the most. He said green is the color that everyone sees around me, gray is the color I see around her, she’s just a blur. The more the crowd cheers the less I can hear and they don’t really care what I play, might be for her but for now it’s between green and gray… now we’re gone and to us it feels like it’s right, but for him everyone of those evenings turns into night with another hotel room where he lays awake to pretend he’s doing fine with his notebook and Discman for friends. he says green is the color that everyone sees all around me, gray is the color I see around her she’s just a blur. night after night while I hear what I write fills the room and my head starts to sway, might be for her but for now it’s between green and gray . I want you to love me he whispers unable to speak and he wonders aloud why feelings so strong make the body so weak then he awoke now he’s scared to death somebody heard, if it was you and you know her please don’t say a word
