Gold

I know you said you’re sorry
I know you said you’re gold
I know you want it to align with everything you told
I see the paper clippings
I see the shaping light
I see your kitchen in December and the way the light bends
Through the window out
Onto the drying dishes
Served up a plate of gold the riches give enough to grow
I know you said you’re sorry
I know you want it to be
Settled in honesty like dust upon the hay
Heyyy
Ooh ohh
Harvest the words believing
Believing is almost true
Drink up, you’re missing meaning, leaving like you do
Lemons on the table
Rolling along the floor
Squeezed out and pushed around, the sour seeping out
Show me the seed of your honesty
I can’t seem to find it
I’m blinded
They say when one door closes
A window opens wide
Catching the light it might move through the shade and blind you dry
I know you said you’re sorry
I know you said you’re gold
I know you want the shade through curtains when you fold
You fold, you fold, you fold
I know you said you’re sorry
I know you said you’re gold
I know the give and take is more or less than what you owe

Nobody's Watching

Love, like the tide, it has no preference
High and low, upon the shore laid bare
Eyes like glass found buried in the sand
Sand made of trillions of pieces
Tired of all we had to sip
Take anything we need to live
Chorus:
And you always said you wanted nothing
Now I see you want it all to yourself
Fine, innocent, you’re just another
Nobody’s watching, take it all
All of the world is made of stardust
Falling from the sky above
Sifting and shaping into new form
Light showing through the trees into your arms
Caught in the middle of a streetlamp
Blinded through the blackest night
Chorus
All we can say is oh my goodness
Look at this paradise
I want to put it in my pocket
Show the people what it has to give
Chorus final:
And you always said you wanted nothing
Now I see you want it all to yourself
Fine, innocent, you’re just another
Go, take your pick
Nobody’s watching

Alice

Alice, could you wait till the morning?
Cool off, let go, it’ll be enough
I’d like to hold you closely
Take time to notice me
Aging, faking, take a sip of
Look up look out, it’ll be enough
I’d like to ride beside you
Highway, blank slate and the cattails
If you can’t take a chance on your mind
You’ll miss what is right beside you
Chorus:
Alice, you’re all about the bliss
But you don’t know what you could be missing
If you pick a flower from the fence
You’ll miss a garden in the thick of it
A garden, Alice
Take time, make eyes and we’re saving up
Floor boards, white noise, it’ll be enough
I’d like to walk inside of you
If you can’t take a chance on your mind
You’ll miss what is right beside you
Chorus
Alice, could you wait till the morning
Cool off, it’s only in the sand
I’ll brush it off a little bit
Lick up the dirt upon your hands
Chorus Final:
Alice you’re all about the bliss
But you don’t know what you could me missing
If you take a look behind the fence
You’ll find a garden in the compromise
A garden

All Fuck'd Up
04:06
|
|||
|
It’s almost useless to try and find the words
To say what we are, now we’re far apart
And I find it sad, now I’m seeing clear
After all this time, after all this time
Cause lately I’ve been feeling you didn’t take the time
To think of what you wanted, or how to say goodbye
or to
Chorus:
Love me how I am
Love me like you did
I was blinded by my love
Now I’m empty
All fucked up
An ocean shore, the desert sun
The happiest feeling I have ever known
And I find it sad you couldn’t find the words
To help me understand how this could all make sense
Cause how can all we built now simply fall apart?
How does happiness turn into a broken heart?
Chorus
Maybe someday when you find the words
You’ll write them down, pick up the phone
But if that day, it never comes
I wish you well, nothing but love
Cause lately I’ve been feeling the sadness fades with time
Regrets and all the heartaches, a bittersweet goodbye
Chorus

Emma

You make my heart hurt, Emma
I don’t want anything from you
Leave me here alone
That’s all there is left for you to do
You make my heart beat faster
I feel that it might break
Into a thousand pieces
Would you be there to set me straight?
Its hard to be so far away
To feel out of control
The stain upon my love
Is growing more and more
Cause you make my heart hurt, Emma
Why do you taint the truth?
Once you do the things you say
Maybe I’ll be there for you
You said you never thought
That I could come undone
Everyone is breakable
And I’m no exception
And I know you didn’t mean it
Said you didn’t see how it could make me sad
But the hurt is how you stumbled on
And you went behind my back
Do you want to know
The thing that hurts the most
Is how you hardly cared
I could hear it in your voice
Cause you make my heart hurt, Emma
And I’ve lost a friend
And you know I’ll never be there for you
Like I was ever again
Yeah, you know I’ll never be there for you like I was ever again

Quarantine
04:44
|

|
The night that you climbed out my throat
Turned the knots into notes
Turned to sigh, turned to smoke
Took a break with the moon on the front porch
Dripping long, felt the water, the calm
It was long enough to trim the line
I saw you lying
Want to crawl and hide inside you
Quarantined, I’ll pull you close
I want to dive beneath your bones
Forget the adolescent lie
I’ll be your toxic lullaby
Quarantine
Yes I need to
Yes I need you
Yes I need you
How you moved, draining long
When I sang you a song
Faded roses to brown
Sugar sap, water elm
Burning time on the front porch
Printing lavender and telephone wires
I wonder when you’ll come into the common mess
At night I lie inside my head
To shape an arrow from the mold
With petals on your collar bone
The pilot sparks through splitting black
Your heart it melts like honey wax
Quarantine
Yes I need to
Yes I need you
Yes I need you

Cigarette
04:40
|

|
Coming down, fading light
Facing left, but looking off to the right
Windows down, you played the part
We could drive all night
But we won’t get very far
Chorus:
But I’ll be your morning
I’ll be your cigarette
Pick me up in the morning
Cause you’re not done with me yet
No, you’re not done with me yet
You picked me up from the airport in your truck
It’s not new but to you it is
Single cab, and its a piece of shit, and you like it like that
Oh you like it like that
I heard you’ve got a new girlfriend
She’s really hot
Then why are you looking at my like you used to?
Chorus
Said goodbye to the morning and the night
Like a smoking fire, you want to light me up one more time
Chorus

Seams
04:58
|
|||
|
Said I want a thunder storm
Now I can see it
And I believe that I am gone
Trade the oceans, turn the tides
Grass in my pillow
I left a part of me behind
On the other coast
I opened up my seams
You crawled in like a dream
And I’m gone
Stop the clock, squish the moth fluttering aimless
The moons a light enough for threading
And patching up these tears
I came apart when you were looking
How you saw right through
Bones and muscles, threaded heartache
A part of me is you
Chorus
Final Chorus:
I opened up my seams
You crawled in like a dream
I saw you in between
You crawled in like a dream
And I’m gone

End of Your Song
03:56
|
|||
|
Take me whole, take me partial
Take me wanting more from you
Take the faces that we carved out from the dark side of the moon
And I have seen you in the morning
In between the shades of light
And the secrets you were keeping, oh you kept them on your side
Chorus:
And I still haven’t found the end of your song
It feels like its missing a part
And I know we could talk for the rest of the night
But I won’t let my thoughts keep you up again
Are you waiting for the time
All the time you left behind?
Are you waiting for the sunrise in the middle of the night?
And I have seen you from my window
As you walk out on the street
And you glance at your reflection, how I wonder what you see
Chorus
Chorus final:
And I still haven’t found the end of your song
It feels like we’re drifting apart
And I know I could wait until it’s all written out
But I’m caught up and lost in my thoughts again
