Northside

You come on softly as a spring night
Into honeysuckle silence, blue-white moonlight
And the paper lanterns dim behind us
Strolling down the driveway 'round the block you guide us
Past the Northside gates, the playground swings
Fence cut down so we slip in
Tudor neighborhood
I don't belong here
But I can't help following
Your windswept hair and oversized jeans
Your laughter at the stuff nobody else found funny
And our hands so close they could be touching
Yeah, but I've already done enough trespassing
This may be the one and only time
Watch you like I'm going blind
Padding barefoot on the pebbled pavement
Like it's cool sea foam or silky sand
Ten years nigh
Standing by
Catch my eye
You'll see why
There's a hole in my life where you should be
Some asshole by your side where I should be
Don't waste your time on a dream
Of some boy who's never seen
You barefoot on the Northside playground

Stepping On My Shadow
02:46

I can see us in the setting sun
The sidewalks here go on and on
And now I walk them all alone
Looking for... I don't know
Every pool of light I stumble through
Makes my insides burn with deja vu
But no streetlight shines bright as you
I'm stepping on my shadow.
We walked until this place was home
The sidewalks here go on and on
We'd float above them hand in hand and
Ignore the world below
But all I touch comes crashing down
Now I miss you as much as I hate this town
But I stop my feet from touching ground
By stepping on my shadow.
Where are you? Where are you tonight?
Where are you tonight?
Every car that passes sighs this song
And the sidewalks here go on and on
I could walk till I forget the words
But the melody will never go
I'm midnight cold and asphalt black
I'm empty as a sidewalk crack
And I keep you always at my back
I'm stepping on my shadow.

Where Soars the Silver Surfer?
Where soars the Silver Surfer?
Things never become completely black
Love is all infinite and all unknown
And where the Silver Surfer soars
He always soars there alone
And where soars the Silver Surfer
When the world could be at his feet?
His future still a mystery
And his answers incomplete
And where soars the Silver Surfer
When we need his help the most?
I don't know
I only think about her these days
And wonder why
Love ain't the power
Supreme

You'll see why
