i saw you going in circles
forgetting my face as you went
gathering sunshine and shadows
never knowing the place that you left
i always thought that you’d be there
staying long past they said you were due
you were the one i had searched for
needing me just as i needed you
time always stands still in your corner
you don’t know that you’re not alone
stuck in the second, i’m counting your blessings
while you figure out that you’re home
~vocalizing~
time always stands still in your corner
you don’t know that you’re not alone
stuck in the second, i’m counting your blessings
while you figure out that you’re home

sleepy eyes

sleepy eyed, starry mind
i can see you trying
living in your world beside mine
runaway by the lake
looking for the ocean
maybe it’s closer than it seems
oh i was looking for mine, too and
oh maybe i found one in you
oh i was looking for mine, too and
oh maybe i found one in you
oh
sleepy eyes open wide
it’s you that i’m chasing
maybe you’re chasing me, too
maybe you’re lost in your
far away ocean
maybe i’m lost there with you
oh i was looking for mine, too and
oh maybe i found one in you
oh i was looking for mine, too and
oh maybe i found one in you
oh

stress dream
03:57
|

|
you had a stress dream
about being too casual
i think it’s funny
because i worry too
anxiety comes out in overcompensation
i laugh too long and look too hard for clues in conversations
i threw a party
and stared too much at my feet
you were just watching
and it made me weirdly comfortable with
anxiety and hoping it’s not too obvious
we’ll play some songs and still manage to stand in the corner
i’m shaking maybe
we’re shaking maybe
i’m okay maybe
we’re okay maybe
i’m shaking maybe
we’re shaking maybe
i’m okay maybe
we’re okay maybe

bike song

out on the pavement
just watching the road
taking new turns just
to see where i’ll go
freedom to go fast but i’ll go slow
trees casting shadows
they’re flying past mine
mine’s standing still as
i ignore the time
with two wheels ‘tween me and the ground
steady on pedals they’re humming a sound
for my ears and i’ll sing along
me and my bicycle song
with two wheels ‘tween me and the ground
steady on pedals they’re humming a sound
for my ears and i’ll sing along
me and my bicycle song

sittin’ on a fire escape, minding my own
wondering if you’re gonna call or if i should go
home, home
mind’s an empty corridor waiting for you
take your time, leave it behind, or maybe just don’t
choose, choose
but before this time is wasted
i wanna see if you might make it
‘cause i won’t lie, lie
you make me wanna try, try
sittin’ on a fire escape, minding my own
wondering if you’re gonna call or if i should go
home, home

i’ll try anything as long as i’m with you
as long as i’m with you
i’ll try anything as long as i’m with you
as long as i’m with you
‘cause i don’t know if i like
ninety two percent really dark chocolate
really dark chocolate
or all the pickles that come with your sandwich, yea
that come with your sandwich, yea
yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
i’ll try anything as long as i’m with you, yea
i’ll try anything as long as i’m with you
like ninety two percent really dark chocolate
and all the pickles that come with your sandwich
yea, yea, yea, yea

overall, my dear, i am just so happy for you
similarly, i am finally good, too
who would have thought - a cat and me
anyway, i hope you threw out all your candy
i constantly regret not clinging to you more
i know you blame yourself for pushing me away
but i could’ve pushed back, could’ve pushed back, could’ve pushed back
i constantly regret not clinging to you more
i know you blame yourself for pushing me away
but i could’ve pushed back, could’ve pushed back, could’ve pushed back
and i know you blame yourself
i know you blame yourself

ghost home

pack up the boxes
fill up the car
there’s no use in waiting
now that the constant’s gone
oh now that the constant’s gone
oh now that the constant’s gone
so come on old georgia
don’t you fail me now
i left you for florida
but i’ve come back somehow
oh i’ve come back somehow
oh i’ve come back
i saw a ghost in the yard one day
she told me that i better not stay too long, long
she said “listen to the house and the way she moves
listen too close and you’ll fall back in love, love”
and it’s too hard to love
so i’m working towards empty
though bare’s never reached my eyes
i’ll take down my colors
and leave you stripped to whites
oh leave you stripped to whites
oh leave you stripped to whites
i saw a ghost in the yard one day
she told me that i better not stay too long, long
she said “listen to the house and the way she moves
listen too close and you’ll fall back in love, love
in love, love”
and it’s too hard to love

epilogue
04:40
|
|||
|
you know the braille of the walls at night and you
hit the lights on the very first try and you
know where to find the sun in every sky and you
know where to sit so the rain sounds just right
to say goodbye to the creaks and the cracks to
take down the drawings and pull out the tacks to
put all the memories into one small pack how
do you begin to take one last look back
when the offbeats stop falling in time and
become the rhythms of line after line
when you’re holding onto thinning threads
wondering if all good things have met the end
perhaps you’re in the epilogue
when the offbeats stop falling in time and
become the rhythms of line after line
when you’re holding onto thinning threads
wondering if all good things have met the end
perhaps you’re in the epilogue
