secret for julie
by eric's trip

you have a little secret
that you share with someone else
you say that it was nothing
of something to talk about
it's true that we were broken up
you could do anything
and you did
but i know a little something
block it out of my head

seems like it's a little secret
between you and her
that's all you said
if it was nothing then how come
it's so wrong
a wrongful act i will not forget
my love and heart are too strong to let
you're out of my life
you're something gross
that's in the past, the past

please tell me
please help me
get it together
you really hurt me
make me feel like
it's all my fault
don't go back again
don't go back again


september
by eric's trip

i remember the day you walked into my mind,
september the eleventh in the year of eighty nine
just picked up the phone and said that you were leaving me alone
the things i put you through just ended with a quiet dial tone
guess it's not for you
words are just for me
tell me what you want me to be
september...

it's like i remember the day clearest of the year
september always ended with the phone up to my ear
years went by and i never saw you alone
still i waited for you to come back to my home
words are not for you
words are just for me
tell me what you want me to be
september...

words are not for you
words are just for me
tell me what you want me to be
september...


sixteen hours
by eric's trip

i've been driving for sixteen hours
i only smell not taking showers
i see the trees but no spring flowers in today

you've been late for driving long
sun came up and i'm feeling wrong
very soon i will be gone

my bed believes that without me in it
something's missing and it won't let me leave
but you will see
you'll see


sloan song
by eric's trip

hear my phone again
i guess i'd better never mind instead
got that sloan song sitting in my head
do the words relate to me

or are they about you
in the van ouside of hamilton
why'd you get so fucked up
thought you let him in

that voice so clever
and my van key reached your friends
will it ever end
that sloan song's in your head


smoke
by eric's trip

the snow outside is only in your mind
the movie went by quicklier last night
in your basement, wishing you could have
a moment with your arms within her love

hold your last until
don't go back to what you know you can't have
hold it out
you're stronger than you know you're not
so smoke some more of that

my guitar is playing in your room
wherever i'll seem to go you try to leave
don't avoid it, try to work it out
the bed seems so warm and soft and (cold?)

hold your last until
don't go back to what you know you can't have
hold it out
you're stronger than you know you're not
so smoke some more of that


smother
by eric's trip

sometimes i look at the sky
and think what i must do
the blue, blue sky
tells me that i should worship only you
every time i turn around
another beautiful girl passes me by
and only when i understand
it's only the clothes thta i adore
i'll love you more

detailed colours in your hair
tangled knots that live in there
running fingers as i swear
looking up with eager stare
red mouth's in as blackens out (?)
smells so strong you talk about
the other girls think you're dumb
coloured hair won't make you come

i watched you sigh
and i watched you shout
while you struggled to wash that coloured mess out
said "won't you help me dry my eyes?"
your mother works to comb the knots out
you cry and yell while you cut your knots out
i saw the hair fall past your eyes
you saw my patience slowly die

i watched you sigh
and i watched you shout
while you struggled to wash that coloured mess out
"won't you help me dry my eyes?"
your mother works to comb the knots out
you cry and yell while you cut your knots out
i saw the hair fall past your eyes
you saw my patience slowly die


soon, coming closer
by eric's trip

you go everywhere
i hope you're never there
i think it's hardly fair
to wake up so unscared
you can't deny me
i know that's wrong to say
what's wrong with me?
i didn't mean a thing
maybe they don't seem to care
i hope i'll soon be there
he will be there for me
one two three

it's coming closer
hits me much harder now
i feel so much faster
can't even bother me
he is so near me
and i feel so free
he can really see me yeah
he'll never change his mind
tell me why you want her
do you think she will be there?
he will be there for me
one two three


spring
by eric's trip

i want you
but i'm not sure if you still want me
if you knew the thoughts
and i'd like to
tell you but i know that if i tried to
i could never lie
i need to
have it though i know that i'm an asshole
i know you know i am
and i like you
you know there's nothing that i'd rather tell you
i could never lie

you think it's all your fault but i don't

i want you
but i'm not sure if you still want me
if you knew the thoughts
and i'd like to
tell you but i know that if i tried to
i could never lie

you think it's all your fault but i don't
you think it's all your fault but i won't
you think it's all your fault but i don't
please understand


stove
by eric's trip

used to wonder if you understood
the way i felt about the stove
at our friend peter's house
i wish you'd slow it down
i thought you'd listen to me
i wish you'd try to stop and show me
but you could even slow it down a bit
at least for me?

used to wonder if you understood
the way i felt about the stove
at our friend peter's house
i wish you'd leave me be
i thought you'd listen to me
i wish you'd try to stop and listen
there's other ways i can get it you know
that don't you?

you know that don't you?


stupidest thing
by eric's trip

i don't know what to see and
can't tell if i am free and alive, alive
seems like i just sit here and
mope and complain about my life, my life

sometimes i think too much and
sit alone in my room and cry, and cry
at night i lie in bed and
think it would be better if i died, i died
stupidest think i ever heard


sun coming up
by eric's trip

my bed won't feel good for me anymore
and the sheets are twisted 'round my legs and shoulders
and my thoughts are twisted too
and i'm not trying to put anything on you
but i'm sick of writing love gone wrong songs
i'm sick of even trying sometimes
i'm watching you from the corner of my eye
feel the sun coming up

on the subject of my self abuse
i'm sure that we could talk but what's the use?
everyone wants everyone to listen
but everyone cares only about themselves
and i'm sick of writing love gone wrong songs
i'm sick of my mouth too
i don't want to hear yours
so don't listen to mine
and we'll all be just fine
in the remainder of time
in the remainder of time
remainder of time
time


sunlight
by eric's trip

trying to find it
trying to find some words to say
trying to hide it
trying to remind me of that day

looking around for an extra person
in my life to call my friend
mostly walking and some talking
seems like there'll never be an end
trying to find me out

trying to hold it up
trying to help it catch the sunlight
trying to fold it up
trying to make it fear the night

looking around for an extra person
in my life to call my friend
mostly walking and some talking
seems like there'll never be an end
trying to find me out


tangles
by eric's trip

comb your long dark hair
comb the tangles that you wear
find me quickly
pull the knot from your long dark hair


to know them
by eric's trip

i don't wanna get off the stage
i don't wanna get off and be enraged
be enraged
i'd feel better standing up there
all alone without a care
without a care, without a care
all the people watch and stare
i don't even want to know them
to know them, to know them


train
by eric's trip

when you came in on the train
thought you'd take away my pain
take my pain...
when you came in on the train
thought you'd take away my pain
take my pain...
like the gently falling rain
like the gently falling rain

you come bearing love
like an angel or a dove
bearing love...
it was all just a dream
nothing happened how it seemed
it should be...

when you came in on the train
thought you'd take away my pain
take my pain...
like the gently falling rain
falling rain...
like the gently falling rain


universal dawn
by eric's trip

it's getting warm outside
all of the trees are alive again
their arms reaching for the sky
reaching up high

the sun it reaches up so high
not even birds can fly that way
their wings put them up so high
up as they climb

it's a universal dawn
warming it up again

the rain falls down all night
the sound is so soothing and nice
i lie in bed and try not to fight
my heart's in my mind

it's a universal dawn
warming it up again


universe
by eric's trip

thoughts of you turn into blue
and all i see surrounds
sparkled in my mist to rise
and up my arms
everything i choose to do
now all belongs to you
i'm in this universe of yours
twist around and dowm my legs
knot it at my feet
all i see i hear is just
the blood flow through my ears
and everything i choose to do
now all belongs to you
i'm in this universe of yours
universe...


valediction
by eric's trip

saw the look on your face
from across the room, i knew you never thought
valediction would happen to you
i could tell that you, you were distraught

and i never thought like seeing
that you, you didn't want me to leave

on that day you made me look
into my heart and i realized
that if i wanted to see your face
i'd just close my eyes

i never thought like seeing
that you, you didn't want me to leave

in my dreams i'd never hoped
that you would be in my heart
no matter if i'm here or we're
a thousand miles apart

and i never thought like seeing
that you didn't want me to leave


view master
by eric's trip

i'll escape from reality
through many years i've travelled through
to my eyes i'll always see
and in my ears we'll listen to
we'll listen to...

off again to somewhere new
close the door of your new room
and my toes and in my thighs
and your teeth hurt when i'm here
but i'm not here
in my girls' clothing
and the stereo
a view master


what i meant
by eric's trip

it's too late to try to explain something about me now
try to understand i lie here still
slide the pillows underneath my head
trying to decide what i meant

it's too late you've already followed me 'round too long
it's hard to realise i'm stuck here still
i slide the sheets that wrap me 'round my bed
what do you think is going through my head?

it's too late to try to find out what i meant
try to understand you're trapped here now
feels like just forever somehow
i'd like to let you know a way out


you're always right
by eric's trip

i'm alright
i stay home tonight
i'll try to keep the eating good
when my eyes won't close tight
feeling everything go wrong
and if you're right i'll do what i like
i want you wrong but i know that you're always right

every time i try to sleep
i think i'm not thinking right
cuz when i'm feeling it, it feels alright
even though i know it'll all go wrong
and if you're right i'll do what i like
i want you wrong but i know that you're always right
and i know that you always might come my way
come my way
