Eddie Vedder - Long Way

His eyes appear vacant
He’d taken more than his share
Trying hard not to awaken
The voice of regret in his ear
He can’t escape the timeline
So much worse than he had feared
Lived every moment
Wishing the past would disappear

He took the long way
On the freeway
He took the long way
On the freeway

She was his all and everything
But her strenght it needed space
Hеr love was but a haunting
She left but nеver went away

She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway

She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long, long way

Well, it couldn’t be had
What he wanted to hold
He dared to let go
He should of known

She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway

Eddie Vedder - Hard Sun

When I walk beside her, I am the better man
When I look to leave her, I always stagger back again
Once I built an ivory tower, so I could worship from above
When I climbed down to be set free, she took me in again

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

When she comes to greet me she is mercy at my feet
And when I see her bitter charm, she just throws it back at me
Once I dug an early grave to find a better land
She just smiled and laughed at me, and took her blues back again

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

When I go to cross that river, she is comfort by my side
When I try to understand, she just opens up her hands

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

Once I stood to lose her when I saw what I had done
Bowed down and threw away the hours of her garden and her sun
So I tried to warn her, I turned to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights, and it's still coming down on me

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard world

Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

Eddie Vedder - Mrs. Mills

Mrs. Mills waits in the dark for the red light to go on
And the curtains will be drawn so none could see
All the townsfolk, they don't know what the men do down below
In the shadows of a disco neon glow

In the spotlight, she lifts her wings high
And sings like nobody before
Or holds her own as their hands, they roam
Oh, the ivory, that is her flesh and bone

Oh, and every suitor gets their own song
To none of them she ever will belong
'Cause no one takes a Mrs. Mills home

Mrs. Mills waits down the stairs, crimson carpet leads you there
Leaving broken hearts, a trail of those who dared
Mr. Wonder, then Sir John, Miss Madonna played by Paul
Even royalty, they have to leave by dawn

As they play her, a sound like a prayer
She sings like nobody before Oh, holds her own as the sound unfol
ds
Over ivories, are hers and hers alone

Still, every suitor gets their own song
To none of them she ever will belong
'Cause no one takes a Mrs. Mills home
And no ones born to feel like they are owned

Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Mills
Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Mills
Mrs. Mills, if I could find ya, I would never do you wrong
Mrs. Mills, could I oblige ya, would ya play me just one song?
Mrs. Mills, I am confiding, I have loved you all along

Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Mills
Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Mills
Oh, Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Mills

Eddie Vedder - Invincible

Can you hear? Are we clear?
Cleared for lift off, takeoff
For making reverberations
Are we affirmative? No, negatory

Come in, come in, radio, what's your story?
Are you Oscar Kilo? Will you Wilco?
Are you ready for a bit of
A bit of echo, Victor?

Feeling wider than awake, yeah
Better crooked than straight

Ah, invincible, when we love
Ah, invincible, when we love
When we love

Now there's smoke on the horizon
And the clouds are looking violent
There's a future in need of a frame
Compass spinning in my brain

There's a theory for everything
Resurrection to the big ol' bang
Rachmaninoff to the excitement gang

We got the density of our beings
The unbearable weight, the unbearable light
The unbearable weight, let's lift it up

Ah, invincible, when we love
Ah, invincible, oh

Feeling honest as a promise
Troubled times have come upon us
At the core of the cosmos
We are so much more than particles

Sonic to the subatomic
You are a whisper and a scream
You are, we are
All part of this everything

Yeah, so feel important

You are light, you are principle
When you love, invincible
Our shared light, indivisible
When we love, we're invincible

Ah, invincible, when we love
Ah, invincible, when we love
Ah, invincible, oh, when we love
Ah, invincible, oh, when we love
Oh, when we love

Ah, the humanity, the calamity
The spilling blood, the gravity
We got the heavens, we got the Earth
And in between we got big surf

Who could ask for more?
The only rule is to keep your cool

When we love
We are light
Hey, you got a light?

Eddie Vedder - The Dark

I didn't mean to up and scare ya
I came here to open up
I've been able to hear you
When you speak to yourself

I've been seeing you're good
I've been hearing you're bad
I've been feeling so guilty
You've been feeling so sad

These nights with the sky still full of stars
Oh, I'm gonna find you in the dark

I'll find you in the dark
I'll find you in the dark
Let me lift, lift you out of the dark

Walking the moon as if on a leash
Follow my shadow in the sand
Blue light beaming down on me
And the footprints you have left

Your silence covers me
Like heavy water
Fathoms underneath the sea
Midnight, not a cloud in the sky
I should be lost in your eyes

These nights with the sky still full of stars
Oh, I'm gonna find you in the dark

I'll find you in the dark
I'll find you in the dark, yeah
I'll find you in the dark
I'll find you in the dark

Let me lift

We all could
We all could use some redemption
We all fail
Fail in the face of perfection

Surrender to apologies
Oh-oh, but you gotta bury me?
Why ya gotta bury me?

Come find me in the dark
Come find me in the dark, yeah

Come find me in the dark
Come find me in the dark

Is there a thread of connection?
Is there a deeper confession?
Let's find a way into the clear

I'll find you in the dark
Come find me in the dark, yeah

Yeah, yeah

I'll find you in the dark
Come find me in the dark

Let us lift

Eddie Vedder feat. Glen Hansard - Sleepless Nights

Through the sleepless nights

I cry for you

And wonder who

Is kissing you

These sleepless nights

Will break my heart in two

Somehow, through the days

I don't give in

I hide the tears

That wait within

But then through sleepless nights

I cry again

Why did you go?

Why did you go?

Don't you know, don't you know

I need you?

I keep hoping you'll come back to me

Oh let it be, please let it be

My love, please end these

Sleepless nights for me

Why did you go?

Why did you go?

Don't you know, don't you know

I need you?

I keep hoping you'll come back to me

Oh let it be, please let it be

My love, please end these

Sleepless nights for me

My love, please end these

Sleepless nights for me

(Everly Brothers)

Eddie Vedder - Longing to Belong

I'm falling harder than I've
ever fell before
I'm falling fast while hoping
I'll land in your arms
'cause all my time is spent here
longing to belong
to you

I dream of circles perfect
eyes within your face
my heart's an open wound that
only you'd replace
and though the moon is rising
can't put your picture down
love can be frightening when you fall

And when the time is right, I
hope that you'll respond
like when the wind gets tired
the ocean becomes calm
I may be dreaming but I'm
longing to belong
to you

Eddie Vedder - Society

It's a mystery to me
We have a greed with which we have agreed
And you think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all, you won't be free

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me

When you want more than you have, you think you need
And when you think more than you want, your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
Cause when you have more than you think, you need more space

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me

There's those thinking more or less, less is more
But if less is more, how you keepin score?
Means for every point you make your level drops
Kinda like you're startin' from the top
And you can't do that

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy indeed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
Society, you're crazy indeed
I hope you're not lonely without me

Eddie Vedder - Sleeping By Myself

I should have know there was someone else
Now I'm alone I always kept it to myself
Now I believe in nothing
Not today as I move myself out of your sight
Oh I'll be sleeping by myself tonight

I could never go to noone else
The hurt don't show but who knows, time will tell
Now I believe in nothing but the pain
That I can't see this turning out right
Oh I'll be sleeping by myself tonight

Forever be sad and lonely
Forever never be the same
Oh I close my eyes and wait for a sign
Am I just waiting in vain?
Oh I'll be leaving love and disaster
Sometimes the two are just the same
I'm beginning to see
What's left of me is gonna have to be free to survive

I'll be sleeping by myself
I'll be sleeping by myself
I'll be sleeping by myself tonight

Eddie Vedder - Rise

Such is the way of the world
You can never know
Just where to put all your faith
And how will it grow

Gonna rise up
Burning back holes in dark memories
Gonna rise up
Turning mistakes into gold

Such is the passage of time
Too fast to fold
And suddenly swallowed by signs
Low and behold

Gonna rise up
Find my direction magnetically
Gonna rise up
Throw down my ace in the hole

Eddie Vedder - Broken Heart

Don't mind me, just let me be,
My eyes so far away
I don't need no sympathy...
The word gets overplayed

I'm alright, it's just tonight
I can't play the part
I'm alright, it's alright
It's just a broken heart

Don't have eyes for the world outside
They're closed and turned within
Trying to find the light inside
It's there, but yet growing dim

I'm alright, it's just tonight
I can't play the part
I'm alright, it's alright
It's just one broken heart.

R.E.M. feat. Eddie Vedder - It happened today

This is not a parable
This is a terrible
This is a terrible thing

Yes I will rhyme that, after, after all I've done today
I have earned my wings

It happened today. Hooray! Hooray!
It happened. Hip, hip, hooray!

We'll leave the allegory to a different Bible story
Out of deference, defiance, the choice
Closing on a promise, after, after all I've done today
I have earned my voice

It happened today. Hooray! Hooray!
It happened. Hip, hip, hooray!

Oohs, and aahs, and awws

Eddie Vedder - Guaranteed

On bended knee is no way to be free
Lifting up an empty cup, I ask silently
All my destinations will accept the one that's me
So I can breathe...

Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know
A mind full of questions, and a teacher in my soul
And so it goes...

Don't come closer or I'll have to go
Holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you...

Everyone I come across, in cages they bought
They think of me and my wandering, but I'm never what they thought
I've got my indignation, but I'm pure in all my thoughts
I'm alive...

Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
Underneath my being is a road that disappeared
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead
Overhead...

Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me
Guaranteed
