Last Dance With Lana

Even though it all was wrong
We would dance until the break of dawn
Even when there were no songs
We would dance until the break of dawn
Even though our time had come
We would dance until the break of dawn
Even when it all went wrong
We would dance until the break of dawn
Even though they all had gone
We would dance until the break of dawn
Even when it all was done
We would dance until the break of dawn
Even though we don't belong
We would dance until the break of dawn
Even when it all went wrong
We would dance until the break, baby
Didn't know, didn't know that you needed saving
Out on the floor, we're just misbehavin'
Didn't realize we were both mistaken
While outside the whole world had started breaking
Didn't know, didn't know that you needed saving
Look at me now, my arms are shaking
Didn't realize that you were crying
While outside
All the birds had stopped from flying
Even though it all was wrong
We would dance until the break of dawn
Even when there were no songs
We would dance until the break of dawn
Even though they all had gone
We would dance until the break of dawn
Even when it all went wrong
We would dance until the break, baby

Neon Disquiet

Exist in quiet skin, on your way home
Exist in quiet wind,
You wear your hair long all night long
You breathe in neon waterfalls
I hear your voice echo and shatter all my walls
Dance in quiet ground
Live in your breath, live in your breath
Live for what you once found
Avoid what's next, avoid your death
Streetlights are dripping into our room
Streetlights confuse us, they look just like the moon
Whisper your lovely hymn
on the way home
You know you're a delicate friend
You wear your hair long all night long
I hear you dreaming out loud in your sleep
I hear you whisper things I will never be
Dance on hollowed ground
A hidden theft, a poisoned breath
Lose the things you once found
My arms will stretch my arm's will
I hear you as loudly as a violent stream
I see you as vivid as a ghost in someone else's dream
( someone else's dream ... )

Water and You

Walk!
My feet are filled with sand
Anyway, any day you planned
Walk along the shoreline with you
Your eyes slice the night through my room
I'm feeling tired of my gloom
Your face looks out the window too soon
Walk along the scattering clouds
I know you know my doom
Any harder, can you tell it to me babe?
I'm watching the world change with you
Any harder, can you tell it to me babe?
I watch the world change with you
Lightning storm scatter through the sky
The island clouds drift across your eye
Lights go out and the color's blue
Your head falls into my side
I watch it all shift with you
We see the fortune in the sand
Reading palms, I touch your hand
Anyway, any day you planned
Any harder, can you tell it to me babe?
I'm watching the world change with you
Any harder, can you tell it to me babe?
I'm watching the world change with you
Lights go out
We sit with the moon
Then we walk by the flowers that bloom
I move in motion with water and you
I know you know it's true
Any harder, can you tell it to me babe?
I'm watching the world change with you
Any harder, can you tell it to me babe?
I'm watching the world change with you

Anywhere

Anywhere you are along the road, I want you here with me
Anywhere you are along the road, I want you here with me
Slow motion dip into freedom
Slow motion dip into freedom
Jagged lines and icicles on the side of the road
(I want you here with me)
Crystal sky and animals are in front of the road
(I want you here with me)
Its a slow motion dip into freedom
Slow motion dip into freedom
Candy colored paint dripping off the side of our walls
(I want you here with me)
Cigarette smoke drifting through haunted hotel walls
(I want you here with me)
Its a slow motion dip into freedom
A slow motion dip into freedom

Sorrowful Mothers
06:20

Sitting down, I could read ashes
I could read unknown diaries
Lifting up to the sky
I could walk,
Put both my shoes on
Put myself in motion
I could unlock the pages
Bleeding to unknown centuries
We all just live in the past
There are no quiet footsteps anymore
I don't call my family
Every day's a blur
Lifting our broken eyes
to unknown worlds
I don't call my lovers
Every lie's a blur
Lifting our broken ears
to unknown words
One day we'll be forgiven
And that day will hurt
While all the sorrowful mothers wave behind closed doors
Waiting for forgiveness, while we get ours
My door is begging, my door is begging, my door is begging
To be shoved wide open
And my arms are waving
One day you're born
The next day you know
The day you wave goodbye
All the pages drip off a cosmic skeleton
I write a love song for falling leaves and changing winds
And sing it out loud
You know when you're dancing, you make your mother proud
You know when you're dancing,
You make your mother proud

Nights and Days

When I think you could be with other guys, it makes my heart grow cold, I realize that when you're in my arms most every night, it makes my heart glow warm,
I feel alright
And when we drive down town in your new car, your eyes shine brighter than the place we are
I hold my breath until I realize ...
You make my nights and days better now.
Your eyes shine brighter than the bright blue star
I never have to wonder where we are
(You make my nights and days better now)

Luxury Smile
04:34

Cynthia, you'd be on for days until you'd escape into your electric maze
Cynthia I would meet you there
Until you'd vanish into the invisible air
It felt so good, I would have you near
And then your voice was taken by fluorescent tears
We would laugh for sometimes hours
Until your fears burst into the greedy flowers
I would meet you there
for a little while
Run my hands through your hair
Walk around in your smile
You would sometimes be on
But nothing's going on in the city right now,
We both know, don't we ?
You're in your yard now,
you look at the moon
Oh I must've said everything much too soon
You're in the clouds now
You're above the sky
Its not a metaphor, I only see you when you try
Silver earrings and a gorgeous wait
Oh I never knew that I arrived to you too late
Since you've been gone, I've been caught in a daze
I feel you in each and every interrupting wave
And I would meet you there
(in the half-lit mile)
Run my hands through your hair
Bathe in your luxury smile
We used to both be on
But nothing's going on
in the city right now,
We both know, don't we ?
We both know, don't we?
We both know, don't we?

Adventures, still ...
05:35

Its like I'm on a spaceship
Thinking of the rain to come
Praying for the rapture
Dreaming of oblivion
You said it wouldn't be like this
At that time I used to run
Searching just to exist
You are doing this for fun
dream
softly,
dream
softly,
now
Staring down a black hole
The tears we made are never done
A palm filled with fool's gold
You were second just to none
Watch another witness jumping straight into the sun
Praying for forgiveness
Praying for oblivion
dream softly,
dream
softly,
now
Look at the rain
Its the ocean that you feel
You'll have adventures, still ...

Nate Wey and The Soft Colors Portland, Oregon
The universe contains infinite stars and space. The term "infinite" was invented by humans to somehow help us comprehend
this vastness, which can feel either mystically inspiring or nightmarishly overwhelming, depending on our mood, a mood often influenced by our local environment.
The Soft Colors are a dream pop/indie band from Portland. With members of Blitzen Trapper, Black Doors, and others.
