Threw myself on the floor
Chasing time
At the door
Half-past nine
Self-control
Lace your own heart
On the door
Night will mourn
And I'm sleeping on the better debt of day
Like the rising off
They won't need me till tomorrow
Night that claims the sky
Forever dreams of a better day
Half-past nine
Rise at four
Tracing time
After all
Casting iron
Self-control
Lace your heart
On the door
Night will mourn
And I'm sleeping on the better debt of day
Like the rising off
They won't need me till tomorrow
Night that claims the sky
Forever dreams of a better day
Say you'll be around
Chasing time
At the door
Half-past nine
Self-control
Lace your own heart
On the door
Night will mourn
And I'm sleeping on the better debt of day
Like the rising off
They won't need me till tomorrow
Night that claims the sky
Forever dreams of a better day
Half-past nine
Rise at four
Tracing time
After all
Casting iron
Self-control
Lace your heart
On the door
Night will mourn
And I'm sleeping on the better debt of day
Like the rising off
They won't need me till tomorrow
Night that claims the sky
Forever dreams of a better day
Say you'll be around

Is this it?
I didn't know that.
But he was amazing in Sunny Day Real Estate.
It's called "World Waits" and before that a looong time ago he released a solo album called "Return of the Frog Queen" and then he was also in another band called the Fire Theft.
I just saw him a few nights ago. Seriousily one of the best shows I've ever been to. He was playing alone (wanted to do something different on this tour), which I thought I wouldn't dig - but man did that prove me wrong - it was a lot better. I mean it's just him and he switches from playing songs on piano to playing songs on guitar - and his voice just shines. He has this way of keeping the essence of his songs as they were on records, but also extending the sound live. I don't know. I took videos: youtube.com/user/…
Never mind.
I love this song, possibly the best off World Waits. It kind of makes me think that he's searching for a.. purpose? And that possibly the next day he could find it so for now he can rest easy. Inevitably, each day could be life changing or inspiring.
I'm not making sense now.
Seems to be about somebody who is rushing through life, day by day. And is unable to take the time to enjoy it.
