:::ホンのボラゴ:::

There is no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
And no song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart
And our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs
With sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

[Chorus:]
Mmmm...it's always better when we're together
We'll look at the stars when we're together
It's always better when we're together
Yeah,it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone
When the morning light sings
Or brings new things for tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree now

It's always better when we're together
We're somewhere in between together
Well it's always better when we're together
Yeah,it's always better when we're together

Mmmm...Mmmm...Mmmm...
I believe in memories
They look so,so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time
And there is no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We’re better together 

2.Never Know(搞不懂)

I heard this old story before
Where the people keep on killing for their metaphors
But don't leave much up to the imagination
So I want to give this imagery back
But I know it just ain't so easy like that
So I turn the page and read the story again
And again and again
It sure seems the same with a different name
We're breaking and rebuilding
And we're growing
Always guessing

Never knowing
We're shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments
We're clever but we're clueless
We're just human
Amusing but confusing
We're trying, but where is this all leading?
We'll never know

It all happened so much faster
Than you can say disaster
Want to take a time-lapse
And look at it backwards
Find the last word and maybe that's just the answer
That we're after
But after all
We're just a bubble in a boiling pot
Just one breath in a chain of thought
We're moments just combusting
We feel certain but we'll never never know
It sure seems the same
Give it a different name
We're begging and we're needing
And we're trying, and we're breathing

Never knowing
We're shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments
We're clever but we're clueless
We're just human
Amusing but confusing
We're helping, rebuilding
And we're growing
Never know

Knock knock coming door to door
To tell you that their metaphor is better than yours
And you can either sink or swim
And things are looking pretty grim
If you don't believe in what they're spoon-feeding
It's got no feeling
So I read it again
And again and again
It sure seems the same, so many different names
Our hearts are strong, our heads are weak
We'll always be competing

Never knowing
We're shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments
We're clever but we're clueless
We're just human
Amusing, confusing
But the truth is
All we got are questions
We'll never know
Never know
Never know

You hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song it's meant to keep you
From doing what you're supposed to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
I'll make you banana pancakes

Pretend like it's the weekend now
And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining
There ain't no need to go outside

But just maybe, hala ka ukulele
Mama made a baby
I really don't mind the practice
Because you're my little lady
Lady, lady love me
Because I love to lay here lazy
We could close the curtains

Pretend like there's no world outside
And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining
There ain't no need to go outside

Ain't no need, ain't no need
Can't you see, can't you see
Rain all day and I don't mind

Telephone singing, ringing, it's too early
Don't pick it up
We don't need to
We got everything we need right here
And everything we need is enough
It's just so easy
When the whole world fits inside of your arms
Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm
Wake up slow, wake up slow

But baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song it's meant to keep you
From doing what you're supposed to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
I'll make you banana pancakes

Pretend like it's the weekend now
And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining
There ain't no need to go outside

Ain't no need, ain't no need
Rain all day and I really really really don't mind
Can't you see, can't you see
We've got to wake up slow

4.Good People(好人)

You win
It's your show now
So what's it going to be?
Cause people will tune in
How many train wrecks do we need to see?
Before we lose touch of
And we thought this was low
Well it's bad getting worse so
 
[Chorus:]
Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels
And I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We've got heaps and heaps of what we sow

They got this and that
With a rattle a tat
Testing one, two
Now whatcha gonna do
Bad news misused
Got too much to lose
Give me some truth
Now who's side are we on
Whatever you say
Turn on the boob tube
I'm in the mood to obey
So lead me astray
And by the way now…

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels
And I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We've got heaps and heaps of what we sow

Sitting around feeling far away
So far away but I can feel the debris
Can you feel it?
You interrupt me from a friendly conversation
To tell me how great it's all going to be
You might notice some hesitation
Because its important to you, it’s not important to me
But way down by the edge of your reason
It's beginning to show
And I really want to know is…

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels
And I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow

They got this and that
With a rattle a tat
Testing one, two
Man whatcha gonna do
Bad news misused give me some truth
You got too much to lose
Whose side are we on today, anyway
Okay, whatever you say
Wrong and resolute but in the mood to obey
Station to station desensitizing the nation
Going, going, gone

5.No Other Way(沒有別條路)

When your mind is a mess
So is mine
I can't sleep
Cause it hurts when I think
When my thoughts aren't at peace
With the plans that we make
Chances we take
They're not yours and not mine
There are waves that can break
All the words that we said
And the words that we mean
And the words can fall short
Can't see the unseen
Cause the world is awake
So for somebody’s sake
Now please close your eyes
Woman, please get some sleep

Sleep and know that if I knew
All of the answers
I would not hold them from you
Know all of the things that I know
Because we told each other there is no other way

Well too much silence can be misleading
You're drifting I can hear it in the way that you're breathing
We don't really need to find reason
Cause out the same door that it came well it's leaving
It's leaving
Leaving like a day that's done and part of a season
Resolve is just a concept that's as dead as the leaves
But at least we could sleep, it's all that we need
When we wake we would find
Our minds would be free
To go to sleep

Sleep and know that if I knew all of the answers
I would not hold them from you
Know all of the things that I know
Cause we told each other there is no other way

6.Sitting,Waiting,Wishing(坐著等著想著)

Now I was sitting waiting wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you would see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the Lord no I'm just a fool
And in Learning loving somebody don't make them love you

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing your fool?

I sang your songs I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But putting up with them
Wasn't worth never having you
Maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time so please ignore
The next few lines because they’re directed at you

I can't always be waiting waiting on you
I can't always be playing playing your fool
I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mystery
You keep building it up, but then you're shooting me down
But I'm already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting

Well if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wonder why it had taken me so long
But lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was I wouldn't be so cruel
Cause waiting on love ain’t so easy to do

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing your fool?
No I cant always be waiting waiting on you
I cant always be playing playing your fool, fool

7.Staple It Together(緊緊相扣)

It's really
Too bad
He became a prisoner of his own past
He stabbed the moment in the back
With the round thumbtack
That held up the list of things he got to do
It's really no good
He's moving on before he understood
He shot the future in the foot with every step he took
From the places that he's been because he forgot to look

He better staple it together and call it bad weather x3
Mmmm...Mmmm...

Well I guess you could say
That he don't even know where to begin
Cause he looked both ways but he was so afraid
Digging deep into the ditch every chance he missed
And the mess he made
Ccause hate is such a strong word
And every brick he laid
A mistake they say
That his walls are getting taller
And his world is getting smaller

Better staple it together and call it bad weather x3
Mmmm...Mmmm...

It's really
Too bad
He became a prisoner of his own past
He stabbed the moment in the back with the round thumbtack
That held up the list of things he got to do
It's really no good
He's moving on before he understood
He shot the future in the foot with every step he took
From the places that he's been because he forgot to look

Better staple it together and call it bad weather x3

If the weather gets better we should get together
Spend a little time or we could do whatever
And if we get together we'd be twice as clever
So staple it together and call it bad weather ,mm hmmm...

8.Situations(狀況)

Situation number one
It's the one that's just begun
But evidently it's too late

Situation number two
It's the only chance for you
It's controlled by denizens of hate

Situation number three
It's the one that no one sees
It's all too often dismissed as fate

Situation number four
It's the one that left you wanting more
It tantalized you with it's bait

9.Crying Shame(可恥的淚)

It's such a tired game
Will it ever stop?
How will this all play out
Out of sight out of mind

By now we should know
How to communicate instead of coming to blows
We're on a roll
And there ain't no stopping us now
We're burning under control
Isn't it strange how
We're all burning under the same sun?

Buy now and save, it's a war for peace
It’s the same old game
But do we really want to play?
We could close our eyes its still there
We could say it's us against them
We could try but nobody wins
Gravity has got a hold on us all
We could try to put it out
But it’s a growing flame
Using fear as fuel
Burning down our name
And it won't take too long
Words all burn the same
And who are we going to blame now?

And oh,It's such a crying crying crying shame
It's such a crying crying crying shame
It's such a crying crying crying shame, shame, shame

By now it's beginning to show
A number of people are numbers that aren't coming home
I could close my eyes it’s still there
Close my mind be alone
I could close my heart and not care
But gravity has got a hold on us all

It's a terrific price to pay
But in the true sense of the word
Are we using what we’ve learned?
But in the true sense of the word
Are we losing what we were?

It's such a tired game
Will it ever stop?
It's not for me to say
Is it in our blood
Or is it in our fate?
And how will this all play out?
Out of sight, out of mind
Who are we going to blame all in all?

It's just a crying, crying, crying shame
It's such a crying crying crying shame

10.If I Could(如果我能)

A brand new baby was born yesterday
Just in time
Papa cried, baby cried
Said your tears are like mine
I heard some words
From a friend on the phone
Didn't sound so good
The doctor gave him two weeks to live
I'd give him more if I could

You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could

Down the middle drops one more grain of sand
They say that
New life makes losing life easier to understand
Words are kind
They help ease the mind
I'll miss my old friend
And though you've got to go
we'll keep a piece of your soul
One goes out
One goes in

You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could

11.Breakdown(暫停)

I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around
See what there is to see
Time is just a melody
With all the people in the street
Walking fast as their feet can take them
I just roll through town
And though my window's got a view
Well the frame I'm looking through
Seems to have no concern for now
So for now I

I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please just breakdown

Well this engine screams out loud
centipede going to crawl westbound
So I don’t even make a sound
Cause it's going to sting me when I leave this town
And all the people in the street
That I'll never get to meet
If these tracks don't bend somehow
And I got no time
That I got to get to
Where I don't need to be
So I

I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I wanna break on down
But I can't stop now
Let me break on down

But you can't stop nothing
If you got no control
Of the thoughts in your mind
That you kept and you know
That you don't know nothing
But you don’t need to know
The wisdom's in the trees
Not the glass windows
You can't stop wishing
If you don’t let go
Of the things that you find
And you lose and you know
You keep on rolling
Put the moment on hold
Because the frame's too bright
So put the blinds down low

And, I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I got to break on down
But I can’t stop now

12.Belle(漂亮女孩)

Oi lienda
Bella che fa?
Bonita, bonita que tal?
But belle
Je ne comprend pas francais
So you’ll have to speak to me
Some other way 

13.Do You Remember(你還記得嗎)

Do you remember when we first met
I sure do
It was some time in early September
You were lazy about it
You made me wait around
I was so crazy about you
I didn't mind
So I was late for class
I locked my bike to yours
It wasn't hard to find
You painted flowers on it
I guess that I was afraid
That if you rolled away
You might not roll back
My direction real soon
Well I was crazy about you then
And now the craziest thing of all is
Over ten years have gone by
And you're still mine
Were locked in time
Lets Rewind

Do you remember
When we first moved in together?
The piano took up the living room
You played me boogie-woogie
I played you love songs
You’d say we’re playing house
Now you still say we are
We built our getaway
Up in a tree we found
We felt so far away
But we were still in town
Now I remember watching
That old tree burn down
I took a picture that
I don't like to look at

Well all these times
They come and go
And alone don't seem so long
Over ten years have gone by
We can't rewind,
We're locked in time
But you're still mine

Do you remember?

14.Constellations(星星的故事)

The light was leaving
In the west it was blue
The children's laughter sang
And skipping just like the stones they threw
Their voices echoed across the waves
It's getting late

And it was just another night
With a sunset
And a moonrise not too far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listened to Papa’s translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations

The west winds often last too long
And when they calm down
Nothing ever feels the same
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
Waiting for the passing rain
Clouds keep moving to uncover the sea
Stars up above us chasing the day away
To find the stories that we sometimes need
Listen close enough
And all else fades
Fades away

And it was just another night
With a sunset
And a moonrise not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to all translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations
