Clouds Over My Headboard

For Penny

Yesterday is repeating
There's an ache inside of me
Threatening to devoure
Tell me the news

Clouds over my headboard
A knife on the floor
But it's got no owner at all
Where is the truth

Confusion has set in
But I don't have to explain
Myself to the paper or the pen
The shadow or the rain

Tell me the news
Or has yesterday found
All of us confused
Tell me the news

Wash away water
Your face is my own
Grasping at dim lights
Now your going home

It's Alright With Me

If it's getting 'round 2 a.m.
And we're still laughing about nothin
Then it may not sound like something
But it's alright with me
If Emily is rollin' it up
I'll stare at the floor for awhile
We'll find light and all pass a smile
But it's alright with me
If Brooke is almost asleep
We'll yell till she's awake again
That's how your know we're all friends
But it's alright with me
Jordan will stay with us till dawn
And we tell him he might as well stay
He's here all the time anyway
But it's alright with me
Summer heat passes over the air
I've stopped waiting to hear the sound
Of the words until I figure everything out
But it's alright with me
I'll sit in my living room chair
While all of us are still here
Nothing seems close to fear
But it's alright with me.
