lyrics

Breathe breathe in and out
You've got to dance dance, twirl about
You've got to move
Move to prove you've got nothing to lose

You've got to shake shake shake the past
Make make make it last
Drink it, chug it down, pound it down
Touch it, kiss it, spin it around

Do we exist just once or are we infinite?
Is it life or death that don't mean shit?
Get lit up, twist and shout, snort shit up, then sort it out
The world's too big or it's way too small
Everything means everything or nothing at all

You've got scars from love, but stardust in your blood
You know the last name you were given, but I know your true one
Everything you think of doing's already been done
This is our ten thousandth trip around the sun

When we're entwined once more down on the shore
It's easy to remember that we've been here before
We count new rings of planets instead of rings of trees
We set our clocks by sensing the subtle shifts of the sea

Breathe breathe, dance and dance
Chalk our coincidences up to chance
Move move
Keep on moving till you hit the wall

Shake shake shake the past
Make make this time last
The world's too big or it's way too small
Everything means everything or nothing at all

You've got to perfect the disconnect you helped them architect
No time to reflect about when you next expect to resurrect
Wait till you return to the real world to decide what's right or wrong
Don't you worry about anything while you're wrapped up in this song

You know the name you were given, but not the one you've always used
Till your toes curl in the surf, and your ancient eyes see right through
To when our souls were young and the world was new
We had eons to decide who to be and what to do

The last time we stood on this sand I was a rich American businessman
You were a courtesan from Afghanistan holding talismans in the palm of your hand
You moved into my palace on an island off the Yucatan
This time around you've gotta trust me, I'm doing the best that I can

So dance dance dance
Dance dance dance

We had a palace off the Yucatan
A palace off the Yucatan
A palace off the Yucatan
A palace off the Yucatan

Please be patient, I'm doing the best that I can
Please be patient, I'm doing the best that I can

I'm doing the best that I can
I'm doing the best that I can

about

Tyler Taylor Boulder, Colorado

Hi, I'm Tyler. You may know me from my band, The Amends. I'm pretty sure you must if you've found your way here. I made this site so that I could have a place to quietly share my older songs (ones I mostly wrote before founding The Amends with Drew) with anyone who's interested. I recorded and played these myself, so forgive the varying sound quality. All songs are technically free. ... more
