He's sleeping in his own bed He's still dreaming with two hands

And I can start a book I can make some mac and cheese

The slow fade of love Its soft edge might cut you And our poor friend Jim, well, he just lived within The slow fade of love

If things don't work out Quite the way you planned

When the loneliness leads to bad dreams And the bad dreams lead me to calling you And I call you and say, "Come here!"

Stealing away into the night Won't get you any higher

You let the needle drop I think that you could do so much better Those conventions are taking their toll on you

Let's not forget ourselves, good friend You and I were almost dead

And the weight is crushing down On my lungs, I know I can't breathe And hope someone will save me this time

You'll get your money, I'll get my friends Hard living's forgiven in the end

And how do you do it And make it seem effortless? When it's all the stupid things So overwhelming to me

It's such a big mistake Standing here on this frozen lake

These are times that can't be weathered And we have never been back there since then

'Cause I had a dream I was carried on backs Of a thousand green birds And they carried me to a place without words

Hiding out in dens, smoking cigarettes Playing with the wedding band You're still losing your mind It's not something that you'll find In your pocket or on the courthouse steps

I should've known With a boy like you Your middle name is Always I'd always love you

All the conman that you fake, it'll will get you there All the hearts that you break, they will get you there

I visit these mountains with frequency And I stand here with my arms up

You'll be a real good listener You'll be honest, you'll be brave

You know he's always runnin' around 'Cause he's a runnin' around kind of guy You know he's runnin' around And with runnin' around he's fine
