Early as dawn
We were on the roof looking up
Watching as the sky changed its colour
Waiting for the sun
Bring up our coffee, mango on a plate
Back at home the air was so much colder in March
We were waiting to escape
Speaking without words
Languages of seeing and being seen
The feelings in the air
A silence we both can read
In April we met
The boys down in the park
With a frisbee
Steal my bike and ride, diamond eyes
There is something about you with a smile
I’d yet to find a name for the feeling I got
From words you slipped to me
Did you know that I’d remember them all
I cut my hair much shorter
He would take me back home
You’d tell me you’re sorry
I was leaving the party
I slept in her room in physical pain
From the choices I made
Those summer months
You stayed with me
For days at a time
We’d walk to the park
Watching the sky get darker
You lay by my side so far from fine
All of this time, keepsakes of mine
All of this time
Leaving behind
The hardest month to stomach
But I held my hands up close to the fire
As everybody scattered
I kept the loss deep inside my chest
When you left
I felt you were the only one I needed to be known by
Speaking without words
Languages of seeing and being seen
The feelings in the air
A silence we both can read

Headrush

Hours go by
Let’s drink up the sky
And spend some time being little kids
Another headrush
Of I miss you so much
Call me when you wake up if you wanna talk
Maybe when I die
If I could chose to stay
Instead of in my mind
Could I live inside this day
I met a stranger
I’d known him for years
Next to each other
The days have disappeared
Somebody give me
Something else to become
I’ll go swimming alone at night
And become no one
Maybe when I die
If I could chose to stay
Instead of in my mind
Could I live inside this day
Maybe when I die
If I could chose to stay
Instead of in my mind
I could live inside this day

Know You Forever
03:23
|

Late in May we shared the morning
Lay awake the storm incoming
Twist and turn beside me lover
Without speaking hear each other
Wanna know you forever
Wanna know you forever
Carry me
I’m living in a dream
And I don’t wanna wake up
This will never be a surrender
Only an invitation
Arrested by the purest feeling
At the thought of you I’m overflowing
Up for air from pools of sorrow
In the late sun dreaming
Ready to explode
Wanna know you forever
Wanna know you forever
Forever
Wanna know you forever
I hope my love
Is loud enough to hear
Over the tide of this year
I hope my love
Isn’t heavy to bare
I hope it’s easy to feel
I’m sorry for whispers
Of wanting any more
You know it’s hard to sit still
Carry me
I’m living in a dream
And I want it to be real
I want it to be real
I want it to be real
I want it to be real

Austin

Went to Austin Texas for a day
To everyone I saw I said your name
The setting sun the hot wind on my face
Felt like home an unfamiliar place
We were cowboys in another life
But I am you your other life is mine
Often when I speak to you I cry
Never can explain the reason why
Never understood the reason
Late at night there is a fire on
All my life around it singing songs
When you were far away when I was young
Sitting on the front step on the phone
Look up at the moon my love
Above me is the very same one
You and I the same one
The streets of Laredo sing me to sleep at night
Your first baby did you really cry
Tough and strong but soft around the eyes
I hope I laugh enough to have those lines
I’ll go back to Austin soon I hope
I’ll see you in the heat and in the smoke
On the road and playing just like you
I’ll bring you back some Texas BBQ

All in My Mind
02:28

Summertime
A blinding light
From across the lake I could see
A storm in sight
But everyone said
Something so special
Doesn’t come around all the time
Falling down
The ground caught me gently
Look right at me
I can tell you’re blind
If it was all in my mind
Doesn’t matter at all
There was only one side
You didn’t feel it at all
You were so quiet on the way home
If it was all in my mind
Doesn’t matter at all
Summertime
Is for crossing lines
Let’s see if you’ll recreate this feeling for me
One more time
I’m sick of these moments
Feeling so special
Show me something I don’t know
Everyone was crowded round the fire
Can we go somewhere alone
If it was all in my mind
Doesn’t matter at all
It was so cold outside
But I didn’t feel it at all
The indigo sky
Into which I could fall
If it was all in my mind
Doesn’t matter
It was all in my mind
Doesn’t matter
It was all in my mind
Doesn’t matter at all.

Be Here
02:45
|
|||
|
Get myself out of the city
And try to shake off all these feelings of pity
I have for myself
And for all those who spend their time with me
What will I carry inside me
Inherited pain
Someday maybe a baby
Will make a home out of my body
And then I’ll be forced
To think of it fondly
Please tell me that I’m doing better
Than I was this time last year
Please tell me when you look around
You are certain you want to be here
I hear you sing something pretty
Borrowing words
Are you trying to remind me
I used to listen to the sound of your voice
Through your chest
Slowly descending
Please tell me that I’m doing better
Than I was this time last year
Please tell me when you look around
You are certain you want to be here

Homes

Waking up in a empty house
In the middle of the day
I have nothing to say
I am growing up
And I’m fading away
All my windows are closed
To the snow covered roads
But I’ll never feel alone
Your love is in the marrow of my bones
And I’m living off of these memories
Are you one of my homes
Are you one of my homes
Are you one of my homes
Take me back
I wanna see you again
For the very first time
I’ll be a very good friend
I was falling short
I had so much to say
You couldn’t see it in my eyes
You couldn’t read it in my face
Those things I’d never say
As all my heavy words drifted from the earth
You stood waiting
Are you one of my homes
Are you one of my homes
Are you one of my homes

Top Down

What’s it like
Under your starless sky
I used to ask you without asking
Just to make myself feel alright
I want a word with you
But I’m feeling shy of truths
Like you haven’t felt at home in your body
For a year or two
You look so small
Sitting in my kitchen but I wonder where you are
You look so young
Like you don’t know how to be loved
Driving home
And thinking in winter tones
Don’t find the words to fill this silence
It sounds so good on its own
We are eye to eye
With future a friend of mine
Inside the mouths of our children
Words we will never find
I feel so small
Sitting in my kitchen crying to my mom
I feel so young
Like I don’t know how to be someone
I feel so small
When you are in my dream
I wake up alone
I feel so young and so wrong

Go Soft
03:28
|

|
I live in a poem
Assigning its meanings
Read to me
And I’ll try to fold up this moment
Play dead in the morning
I beg you go soft for me
Soft and sweet
I’m living in memory
Mining the earth for the memory
Blow a big hole build a quarry
Infertile soil
Tell me I did not misinterpret love
Tell me I did not misinterpret love
This silence is easy
You beg me go soft for you
Keep the peace
Talking just teases the memory
And you wear it so well
Your balance impeccable
Do you notice
Its weight on your shoulders
You laugh and go soft in the shoulders
I’ll give in go soft in the shoulders
You smile I go soft
Tell me I did not misinterpret love
Tell me I did not misinterpret love

Strongest Person
05:29
|
|||
|
I don’t know how you do it
I don’t know how you stand
With your shoulders strong and steady
While your heart bleeds in your hand
The ground is frozen solid
All the plants are dead till spring
With the changing of the seasons
Will you look for him again
You hide it so well but I see it some of the time
I learn something every time you look at me and smile
Every time you sing we can hear him
Openly hidden like tears in the rain
You are the strongest person
Something so painful would drive me insane
Drive me insane
Drive me insane
Let it all wash over
Will you ever know how much they need you
We watch you with amazement
As you laugh and smile and talk
You make it look so easy
Are your insides blowing up
Living with the knowledge that time will never make this okay
I’ll stand right beside you and try to alleviate the pain
Every time you sing we can hear him
Openly hidden like tears in the rain
You are the strongest person
Something so painful would drive me insane
Drive me insane
Drive me insane
Let it all wash over
Will you ever know how much they need you
Let it all wash over
Will you ever know how much they need you

Just The Feeling
05:36
|
|||
|
Outside and under the weather
Tell myself to keep it together
And make it seem like I wanted to be alone
It’s getting light
The day is arriving
I’ll take the streetcar instead of walking
And dance up my whole street
On the way home
Did I make it seem like I wanted to be alone
I won’t grow from being loved
I’ll grow from loving
Just the feeling is enough
In my garden
When I’m just listening
I’ll close my eyes and think of nothing
Am I wanted more in my unwanting
Can you tell me how it felt
To never wake up by yourself
But to wake up every morning
Feeling so alone
Did you ever lie there wishing
You’d just gone home
I won’t grow from being loved
I’ll grow from loving
Just the feeling is enough
