Connected

It was the song of my childhood
It was the song of the crowd
Never heard it, wasn't listening
Now it's playing so loud

And I think it needs singers
And I think it needs voices
And I know that my life comes down
To two or three choices

So I pick up the pen
And I let go the guns
I plug in my Fender
And I thought of my sons

And I was connected
I was connected
A bit imperfected
But I was connected

And I will never be lonely again
I will never be lonely again
My heart will never be homeless
I'll be ok just as long as
My face will never be nameless
Because you feel just the same as
I do
I am connected

Inside and old man
There's a small bit of youth
And every lie that I've heard
Had just a small bit of truth
My pockets are empty
But my mind just as clear
And the ones that I hurt now
Are the ones I hold dear

And I am connected
I am connected
A bit imperfected
But I'm still connected

And I will never be lonely again
I will never be lonely again
My heart will never be homeless
I'll be ok just as long as
My face will never be nameless
Because you feel just the same as
I do
I am connected

There's a song in the crowd
And it's gone on for days
We're all standing together
And our hands are all raised

And I think I hear singers
I could swear I hear voices
I know that our lives come down
To just two or three choices

And we are connected
We are connected
We're still imperfected
But we are connected

And we will never be lonely again
We will never be lonely again
Our hearts will never be homeless
We'll be ok just as long as
Our faces will never be nameless
Because you feel just the same as
I do
We are connected

Paper Cup

I have flown
On empty wings
I've been shown
What sadness brings
I've had oceans
In my head
Turn into
Dried river beds

But somewhere in those desert dreams
I dive into the deepest streams
It's your love surrounds me
As I wait here for your love to drown me

My heart is a paper cup
Your love is what fills it up
Soaks right through me
And surrounds me
All your love
All around me

Love is water
Love is ice
Love can drown
Or baptize
I've been years
Without the rain
Now I know
Love's other name

If only you could swim through me
Like water in the deepest sea
Then you'd know what I have
When all your love flows over me

My heart is a paper cup
Your love is what fills it up
Soaks right through me
And surrounds me
All your love
All around me

Sometimes I
Fill up my
Sea with a notion
Then I float
In my boat
Asleep on you ocean

My heart is a paper cup
Your love is what fills it up
Soaks right through me
And surrounds me
All your love
All around me
