Every Aching Memory

if you remember when we drove to san francisco
when you stopped to pick that flower for my hair
if you loved the way i looked at you 
dancing across the living room
then don’t you ever say i didn’t care

because i fill my time with moments worth the pain of loss
i love, i hurt, i feel it all
and i’ve got no regrets
for loving you and telling you
don’t act like i was selling you
a promise that i never could have kept

some beauty is so boundless
it could stand the test of mountains
some beauty fades like poems left in the sun
and if you ever really loved me
then you’ve probably also doubted
how you ever thought i could have been the one
well i had doubts too...
but i know that i loved you

if you remember when i drove you to the hospital
the tender way i laughed and held your hand
if the path we took to cross it all 
didn’t feel like getting lost at all
then don’t you dare say i don’t understand

because some beauty is so boundless
it could stand the test of mountains
some beauty fades like poems left in the sun
and if you ever really loved me
then you’ve probably also doubted
how you ever thought i could have been the one
well i had doubts too...
but i know that i loved you
       
oh baby we’re all gonna die
might as well live while you’re alive
might as well feel everything there is to feel 
might as well say it when you mean it
even if it’s not forever
flowers bloom and die each season
does it mean they aren't real…?

and i hope one day you’ll see my way
that every aching memory
was beautiful and worth the time we spent
because i fill my life with moments worth the pain of loss
i love, i hurt, i feel it all
and i’ve got no regrets

old ways
the past got its hold on me
i’m stuck in the doorway
you’re out on the street

been dying to let this go
oh i’m dying to let it be
i’m so lucky to live like I do 
man... some people just die in their sleep

baby
the future’s a bad bad dream
i have all the time
it’s so hard to decide
who i’m gonna be

yeah it’s just like the movies 
just like a TV screen 
it doesn’t feel real some nights
but I just keep replaying these scenes

i’m so lucky to know you 
but it’s bittersweet company
i’m so lucky to lay next to you
i just wish i could actually sleep

Old Ways

you’re not dead but you don’t want me
so you’re just as good as gone
i took the couch outside
where we laughed till we cried
and fell asleep with the tv on

you’re not dead but i can’t have you
so it might as well be true
and i don’t wanna live
without the way that you kiss
so i might as well be too

because we had true love
but you gave it up
i took the couch outside and i cried as it burned down...
then i walked back to the living room
through the same door you walked out

i had to burn the couch
oh i guess it’s just as well
because it looked good in my apartment
but it’s uncomfortable as hell

yeah it was cool in the beginning
but the novelty wore out
is that the way you feel about me now?

because we had true love
but you gave it up
i took the couch outside and i cried as it burned down...
then i walked back into the living room
through the same door you walked out 

it reminds me 
of getting deep in conversation
oh god, i knew you so well
all the memories we made babe
all our plans that went to hell…

so i had to burn that couch to save myself

because we had true love
but you gave it up
i took the couch outside and i cried as it burned down...
then i walked back into the living room
through the same door you walked out

Burn The Couch

honey i
apologize
for all the ways i do you wrong
it takes a man
to take a stand...
i take a seat and put it in a song

don't know why i can't feel nothin'
god there must be something wrong with me
you think i've been up to something
i've only been down here on my knees

toffee skin
honey lips
pull me in
sugar kiss
catch my breath
ease my mind
coffee iris
your dark brown steaming eyes

don't know why i can't feel nothin'
god there must be something wrong with me
you think i've been up to something
i've only been down here on my knees

even though we might not make it
you were worth the hurting baby, oh…
even though i couldn’t show you
i love you more than you could ever know

don't know why i can't feel nothin'
god there must be something wrong with me
you think i've been up to something
i've only been down here on my knees
