it's been years since I've seen you, wanna come to my place
made my way to the city the second I could
I'll meet you at the station, I'll be looking for your face
can't have changed that much in the time you've been gone

in adolescence, knee deep in your reflection
you were my best obsession, was I yours
knee to knee in your car with the middle seat
late night movie, how will you remember me

it's been years since I've seen you, wanna show me your place
never been to this part of the city before
just pulled into the station, can't wait to see your face
hope you recognize me 'cause I don't feel the same

in adolescence, knee deep in your reflection
you were my best kept obsession, was I yours
you and me and all the give and take
back and fourth heartbreak, how will you remember me

Union Station

empty grocery store, family owned and run
it's just you and me in this town
it gets pretty quiet in the winter months

your grandparent's place
a home just off the lake
the snow-covered dunes and our footprints
cutting a path down to the waves

stay in and watch movies, I'm getting way too moody
crying on the living room floor
I couldn't feel a thing anymore
it always goes like this

invite me to come up to see your college friends
for a wedding, it's been some time since you've seen
any of them

I'm on my best behavior until we get to the car
then I'm blacked out in the passenger seat
saying all kinds of things you don't need
and I don't mean

leave town the next morning, I fear I'm getting boring
see the end, it's coming up fast
not even good things are meant to last

Michigan

All Night

spring has come and I am growing
you've come home and I am only
miles away from you, I'm holding my breath
if you could hold me, too

I would plant my roots inside your bedroom
lay me down and I will let you
trace your name across my skin
its burning like a tattoo, can I have you

I won't count the moments down 'til
you leave town, just wrap me up in
ignorant bliss just you and I
'til it all comes falling apart

tell me that you think of me fondly
years have gone and you are the only
one whose made a home inside me
I can't shake you and I'm not trying

In Your Bedroom

Someone Smelled Like You

Place

Could Be

Believing In You

I Didn't Want

Across The Room

one side goes to the city / I stand on the far side of the tracks / the one that brings me to you

away from tall buildings / out of suburban hell that I seem / to have condemned myself to

I don't feel alone anymore / now that we've found a cure / I'm the queen of the train station / take me home

I've always got my bags packed / constantly counting down the moments / 'til I see you again

daydreaming of a woolen red embrace / awaiting me when I arrive / oh man

you won't feel alone anymore / now that we're so sure / I'm the queen of the train station / take me home again / take me home oh man

Queen Of The Train Station

Call of Distress

definitely not my best recording, will replace later with a better one
- - - -
late night, went driving, to your parents place
we’re both visitors here, both moved away
parked in the cul-de-sac, in the dark, holding in your name
the weight of the years coming down on me
while I wait

haven't seen you, need to see you
headlights off
need to see you, haven't seen you
can we just talk

I could never read the room
when it was just
me and you
what if I had believed that you say what you mean
when you said you mean it
why couldn't I believe it

late night, went driving, all around this town
passenger seat, you beside me, windows down
this three AM feels eternal, and I’m melting down
so comfortable and warm
safe somehow

now I’ve seen you, want to see you
under stars
want to see you, now I see you
in my arms

I could never read the room
when it was just
me and you
what if I had believed that you say what you mean
when you said you mean it
why couldn't I believe it

I could only tell you what I felt, when I would feel it
expecting more but you adored me, I could hear it
in your voice but couldn't stop, begging for more
and shutting down, and shutting you out
and sitting down, down, and shutting you out

haven’t seen you, need to see you
