Nothing to Worry About - Eddplant

I feel like I should tell you
not to worry
Just believe me
when I tell you I’m okay
‘Cause I don’t want to bore you
and most of the time
I’m just mildly under the weather,
ah, nothing to worry about anyway

My mind is not predictable
Don’t worry
I’m not violent
when I’m sober at least
Sometimes I’m up, sometimes I
just want to die
It’s an honest to god close to
attempted suicidal feeling

But I
don’t want to burden you with
the knowledge that maybe
I’d pluck up the courage
Because the feeling’s too short lived
for me to try

I’m always bringing myself down
out of habit
I can’t deal with being
happy all the time
So I’ll find something to criticise,
like the state of my room,
or how I’m not quite where I want to be
Even if I’m getting closer every day

I feel like shit, but I won’t say
What’s the use?
When you’re a hundred miles
of telegraph poles away
So if anybody asks
Well, I’ll tell them I’m fine
Cause I know I’d never pluck up the courage,
Ah, Nothing to worry about

But I
Can’t seem to keep on top of
the knowledge that maybe
I could end this struggle
And I don’t know what I want you to do



Well I’m
Sorry to burden you with
the knowledge that maybe
I’ll pluck up the courage
I just thought you might like to know

This Glass Could Shatter - Eddplant

She said “This isn’t suicide
it’s taking the initiative,
society is better off
with one less social renegade.”
and I could see the flaw in her fatality
but she won’t listen, no
So what’s the point in talking to air?
and on the other side of three long months
we took a walk around the block
we took a bus out through the suburbs
and sat side by side
and “What are you thinking?” bursts out from my lips
and she was answering before I could put up any walls
“If one of the buildings that line this street were to explode
this glass could shatter, and I-I-I would be dead.
If it weren’t for you I might be dead on the inside
with two less scars in this flesh
and no way out of this mess and I guess that’s all.”
and I said “That’s more than I can think at any point in time
but it’s not hard for me to understand, ‘cause you just put my life into words.”
I asked her “What are you thinking?”
and she answered, she answered,
she answered me:
“If one of these buildings that line this street were to explode
this glass could shatter and I-I-I would be dead.”



“And I would be dead. If you had pulled me back
I would have tried again.
This glass could shatter
and I-I-I would be dead.”

Aftermath (Until the Stars Fall) - Eddplant

The wind blows east and keeps me grounded
so far away from you
and I can hear the voice inside my head
he whispers “you’re wasting your time”
I can’t sleep at night
‘cause he’s not the only one
there’s a chorus of unconscious doubters screaming
“Let her go!”
but I’m not leaving
I’ll bide my time
keep walking the line
just keep me in mind

take these dreams
and keep them with you
so you’ll never forget

that I would give you everything I have
if you’ll do the same
don’t tell me you try
I’ve been trying for the both of us
but so far nothing’s changed

just give me a sign
that you’re in this for the aftermath
and hold me ‘til the stars fall out of the sky



all I want is you to take me back to where we promised we would make this distance work

don’t tell me you try
I’ve been trying for the both of us
and so far nothing’s changed

just give me a sign
that you’re in this for the aftermath
hold me ‘til the stars fall out of the sky

Out of the sky
take me higher than the stars
so we won’t fall

Out of the sky
take me higher than the stars so we won’t fall

the wind blows east
and I drift homeward
so far away from you

Between Your Smiles - Eddplant

What light through yonder window breaks
the summer sky is filled with hopes and fears
my thoughts are jumbled
I can’t chase this feeling
I’ve been holding back the tears

a room without you there is empty
and this bed for two is emptier still
words fight to form coherent verses
Lord knows, I’ve got time to kill

I’ll be here waiting in your room
while the whole wide world rolls by
passing time inbetween your smiles
I’ve been holding on, to when you said goodbye



the nights are long
that you and I spent close enough to soothe this tender ache
I hold you close and dream of you
forgetting you’ll be leaving when I wake
days without your love are longer
I ache for you, I pine, I perish

and though you held me only hours ago
in passing time your touch diminished

I’ll be here waiting in your room while the whole wide world rolls by
passing time inbetween your smiles
I’ve been holding on, to when you said goodbye

(overlapping)
you’re perfect and I’m dreaming of the moment
when you return to be with me (whole wide world rolls by…)
always be in love with (whole wide world rolls by…)
what you give to me (whole wide world rolls by…)
surrender (whole wide world rolls by…)
‘cause I could last forever (whole wide world rolls by…)
and all this time I’m ? the day (whole wide world rolls by…)
I ever thought that I was right and we went wrong

whole wide world rolls by

Across the Line - Eddplant

How did I get here
sitting alone on a window sill?
they say I’m going somewhere but I’ve nothing but, time to kill
and I’m waiting
‘cause there’s nothing that I can do
I’m just waiting
‘til I’ve broken through

It shouldn’t be easy
but they say it’s not too hard
chase the dreams that keep you from sleeping
there’s no distance too far
but I’m waiting ‘til my dreams come into view
I’m still waiting

and it feels like wasted time
when it’s hard to keep believing in the
promises that brought me here tonight
so apathy aside
the memories we’re making
keep me searching for what
I expect to find across the line


I’m breaching the distance
one step of the bill with every night
got my my eye on the horizon
and the ribbon’s in sight
it’s a long way a distant
mountain left to climb
but I know one day well, my stars will align

and it feels like wasted time
when it’s hard to keep believing in the
promises that brought me here tonight
so apathy aside
the memories we’re making
keep me searching for what
I expect to find across the line


people are saying
time will fly
and I’ll be fine

So while I’m here wasting time
the kindest critics keep me believing
that tomorrow
I could race across the line



and it feels like wasted time
when it’s hard to keep believing in the
promises that brought me here tonight
so apathy aside
the memories we’re making
keep me searching for what
I expect to find across the line

Surrender - Eddplant

I’m not a disaster
I’m doin’ okay

got a roof above me and a bottle of rum
I’m on my way
but it’s hard to be constructive
when you’ve got no will to fight
and I hate to bring you down but this is what’s been on my mind
tonight

dazzle of daylight
holds my tongue
when the waking world’s in perpetual motion
the words won’t come
you can rise with the sun if you want to
but I’m taking the moon to bed

and I’ll dream of constant sunshine
while you nurse your clouded head
so if your dreams are out of focus
and you’re sick of the same routine
if your still asking who you’re meant to be

I’m waking up
when the sun goes down
I’m choosing to surrender
to the quiet part of town
I’ll be alright
Just sending disenchanted prayers into the night

this passion surrounds me
it takes it’s toll
when the structures I support stand freely,
I’m on my own

and the temple that I erected
to some semblance of self esteem
bends and buckles all around me
like I’m waking from a dream
when convention calls for caution
and creation casts it out
when the only way to build is breaking down

I’m waking up when the sun goes down
and I’m choosing to surrender to that quiet part of town
so fill my cup
I’ll be alright
Just sending disenchanted prayers into the night



I’m waking up when the sun goes down
I’m choosing to surrender to the quiet part of town
so fill my cup
I’ll be alright
Just sending disenchanted prayers into the night

Yours - Eddplant

I’m going out tonight
and you’re not on my arm
I’d take offense if that was your intent
but it really is far to far
and the drinks are expensive
and everyone’s here by themselves
I’ll sit and I’ll dance and I’ll miss you
but Ill pretend that I’m somewhere else

and I’ll be all that you’ve asked for
all that I can
I’ll be there when you need me
again and again
‘cause I’m yours
I’m yours

and I remember you in the mountain moonlight
resting your head on my shoulder
you said “when you sing everything is alright”
So I’ll let the taxi’s that pass and the drunken laughs be my guitar
sing you a song from a payphone
on the way home from the bar

and I’ll be all that you’ve asked for
all that I can
I’ll be there when you need me
again and again
‘cause I’m yours
I’m yours



all that I ask is that you give yourself to me
for my love’s reflection
in every action
In the very air you breathe

I’ll be all that you’ve asked for
all that I can
I’ll be there when you need me
again and again
‘cause I’m yours
I’m yours

I’ll be all that you’ve asked for
all that I can
I’ll be there when you need me
again and again
‘cause I’m yours
I’m yours
