You're a Juliette but I'm no romeo
Throw up my hands, you aim a crossbow
The streets all decayed, empty, desolate, dead
I only wanna count the cracks in the ceiling bove your bed

Tonight
I just want to swim out deep into the ocean of your eyes
Til I can't see land and the tidal waves rise
And I drown

I lay my head down on your chest
quivering muted voice of your heart at rest
It cries in a whisper I can only feel
Saying come on now why not try something real

Tonight
I just want to swim out deep into the ocean of your eyes
Til I can't see land and the tidal waves rise
And I drown

I Drown

The stars are real and are my home
It's not just some   
idea I dreamt up on my own
I  navigate by the stars in the sky
The stars will be my home til I die
Til I die
Til I die

There's no one left who walked on the moon
No one left who walked on the moon
Darkness falling at the break of noon

If you think you're something that you're not
Mistake a painting for a mirror
Waves wash away your scribbles in the sand
Raise a glass and watch your name disappear


There's no one left who walked on the moon
No one left who walked on the moon
Darkness falling at the break of noon

There's no one left who walked on the moon
No one left who walked on the moon
Darkness falling at the break of noon

No One Left Who Walked On The Moon

Valerie
It's no secret all the good guys lose
Such a heavy price we pay
For all the chains that we refuse

I'm forgetting what it's like to be closer to you
I'm forgetting what it's like to be closer to you

Valerie
Oh we're so rich in being poor
When I look up at the clouds
I see the outline of heaven's door

Valerie

I fall into your arms
And all my fears disappear
I get used to the smell of your hair
And forget the taste of my tears

Every breath is yours
Every move is yours
All of my blood is yours
I don't need myself anymore

I look up at the stars
the same my ancestors did
And wonder the things they know now
The clouds keep hid (from us)

Every breath is yours
Every move is yours
All of my blood is yours
I don't need myself anymore

Every breath is yours
Every move is yours
All of my blood is yours
I don't need myself anymore

I Don't Need Myself Anymore

My heart is desiccated
A field of dead trees
Waiting to be set on fire
Kindled by the breeze

Give up the ghost
Once again
The sun will rise
And our shadows
Will take on the shape
We recognize

Our small shadows
Cut wrinkles into our brow
Pulling down our weight
Til the moon makes us bow

Give up the ghost
Once again
The sun will rise
And our shadows
Will take on the shape
We recognize

Give Up The Ghost

I met you under the willow tree
Studying your own headstone
Startled to see me
We died the same age
Thirty years apart
Still young enough to
Burn fire in our hearts
'
Walked round the cemetery every night
Talking about our past lives
Til the morning light
Your husband stopped coming round one day
Then we fell in love in our
Ghostly way

Try to run my hands through your hair
But I just caress the air

We don't age we don't change our shape
And this awful cemetery we can never escape
Don't wanna pretend to touch you anymore
Hell is sealed shut and heaven closed its door

Ghost Affair

Featuring Phil Cogley on background vocals, flute, piano

Moon Dive (feat. Phil Cogley of Saturday Giant, Train)

I felt a sting when she came in my sight
Wind in the leaves swaying shadowy light
Her flashing eyes like fire in the sky
Lips only seen, give up and die

Had a dream she ran away from me
I reached out for her she turned into a tree

She saw me and ran, her gown round her knees
All of my pleas drowned out in the breeze
Her boucning hair, the ribbons tangled there
I toucher her gown, she let out a desperate prayer

Had a dream she ran away from me
I reached out for her she turned into a tree

Had a dream she ran away from me
I reached out for her she turned into a tree

Apollo and Daphne

The familiar four in the morning alone
When your ghosts lean in and moan
So alone I'd throw my arms around my bitter enemy
Throw my arms round things only I can see

You left without saying goodbye
Jenny with the stars bleeding in your eyes

We all can bleed any time we want to
It's a choice to see the day through
The smell of your skin folded in my pillow
Your voice echoes in the leaves falling below

You left without saying goodbye
Jenny with the stars bleeding in your eyes

"I love you
Let's run away
I love you
Let's run away"

You left without saying goodbye
Jenny with the stars bleeding in your eyes

You left without saying goodbye
Jenny with the stars bleeding in your eyes

He's gonna surround himself with the best people

He's gonna lower corporate taxes
And it's gonna trickle down to us
He's gonna get rid of Obamacare

He's gonna make my wife love me again
And undo my last game of high school football where I threw the interception that blew the game
He's gonna make me stronger

He's gonna make it so you never hear nickel back over the loudspeaker at Kroger
He's gonna take away all our pain

Grey November morning I
Can't find comfort in the sky
I'm faded like a torn ticket stub
Ah there's the rub

I see a gilded chandelier
In your eyes after my third beer
The transformation of a tiger cub
Ah there's the rub

The cold draws desperation from our breath
I draw my weapons stare down death
The ghosts with their cigar jacket club
Ah there's the rub

There's The Rub

Celestial stains
yellow on your cheek
Your kisses cracks in eternity
Through which I desperately peek

On the floor of my heart
Underneath the dust
Are your permanent footprints
And your name written in rust

I try and drape a new skin
Over my corroded bones
Run a comb through the stars
Decipher their coded moans

On the floor of my heart
Underneath the dust
Are your permanent footprints
And your name written in rust

On the floor of my heart
Underneath the dust
Are your permanent footprints
And your name written in rust

Floor Of My Heart

Somber clouds hang from
Your eyes
The morning breathelss cries
Through the window
Gnashing its teeth
And barely let's the sun fall across
Your skin
I'm in love with you now
I've been in love with you since I was born

I'll never be
Ready to say goodbye to you

The waves crash in your mouth
The moon reflects on your cheek
Everything I want is buried 
And lost in the shadows behind your eyes
Don't let me grow old
Without you
And if I leave this world before you
NAme a star after me

I'll never be
Ready to say goodbye to you

I'll Never Be Ready To Say Goodbye To You
