We've been climbing, climbing up a hill It seemed so simple, but we're climbing still It's one foot after the other, one foot after the other one It's one foot after the other, one foot after the other one Oh God I'm trying but this last straw broke this back of mine We've been running for twelve hours a day But where we started, it's only yards away It's one foot after the other, one foot after the other one It's one foot after the other, one foot after the other one Oh God I don't see you trying half as hard as I am

Buckley 04:12
Underwater breathing's harder Your lungs in trouble, cling to the last bubble Try to swim or you'll be old news Try to swim or you'll be fish food Buried treasure in the deep sea That's your heaven, that's where you sleep Try to swim or you'll be old news Try to swim or you'll be fish food

I was in my room nursing a cold I was alone, I was alone My friend called on the telephone, he said hello, come brave the snow I left close to one o’clock, I could barely walk, I could barely walk Within two hours I was in shock, I was in shock, I was in shock We traded hands, we traded scarves And as we danced beneath the stars She blistered my brain like a sun And just like that, the night was done I spent a day staring into space, seeing her face, seeing her face And every circle that I paced wrapped around like her embrace I told everyone I saw, about the girl and her sunk-in claws All I got were gruff guffaws, I was at a loss, I was at a loss We traded hands, we traded scarves And every glance left me starved She froze my facts like an ice age She turned my mind into a blank page We traded hands, we traded scarves Oh girl of sand, oh boy of dark We traded hands, we traded scarves Oh yes we did, oh yes we diiiiiiiiiiiiid

No Regrets 03:16
I always treated your feathers fine So why'd you have to go and ruffle mine I kept leaving you behind But I came back to you every time I have no regrets But I meant what I said So don't forget my words Cause I won't repeat them, I won't repeat them again It's hard to hear the way you laugh When it's so so so far in the past I wonder if you hear me sing Every time the telephone rings I have no regrets But I meant what I said So don't forget my words Cause I won't repeat them, I won't repeat them again

Opinionless 03:44
I went to a show where a guy played guitar with a pedal-board he used To loop and loop and loop Well my date she fell in love with him and before I knew what was what She was swiftly swooped And I said wait a minute here, shouldn’t I care That my girl is dancing over there with Mr. Pedals & Guitar now? I guess I’m opinionless So I went on the town with my pockets full of air and lint And I made my way to the bar And who should I see at the other end with a beer at hand Well none other than Mr. Pedals & Guitar And I said wait a minute here, shouldn’t I wanna go Drag Mr. Pedals & Guitar right into the snow and give him a taste of my fist? I guess I’m opinionless Well there might be something broken in me But I don’t mind Cause when I stop to think about the way I think It really cuts into the good times And I say wait a minute here, am I out of my mind Maybe I’m fine, maybe it’s a sign of the times well thank God for Obama! I guess I’m opinionless
