"All that I've got
you can fit in a shoebox
There's only words I've haven't said
that don't fit in they are just to big
and I breathe a little deeper with every breath

Come little darling, 
won't you come here to stay
we'll get out of the city
ride our bikes to the lake
I'll follow you close enough to catch your scent
little darling would you kick off your shoes,
kneel down in the evening dew,
slip in, both feet first,
and swim

All that I've got
you can fit in a shoebox
there's only words I couldn't say
that don't fit in, it will stay that way
and I dream a little deeper with every eve

Come little darling, 
won't you come here to stay
we'll get out of the city
ride our bikes to the lake
I'll follow you close enough to catch your scent
little darling would you kick off your shoes,
kneel down in the evening dew,
slip in, both feet first,
and swim."

"Salt spray cleanses my day
I have no words left to say
Hopes and fears boarded a train
Going around a bend
On my way home 
Turned leaves leapt from my heels
A crow sat on a bench
And pecked at the paint

I'm getting used to a certain kind of loneliness

A girl with a fringe sparkled in the night
I said the moon had a nose and she smiled
The traffic lights switched colours
And a bus lurched up the hill

I'm getting used to a certain kind of loneliness

I'm sorry i wasn't there
When i stare into my eyes 
I feel a dull ache inside
My shattered light
While lying on the floor
I breathed a breath so deep
And prayed my soul 
Would ride on the inhale

I'm getting used to a certain kind of loneliness

I watched a dog fetch a ball
And his owner waved hello"

"in a rusted down city line I can see my home tonight
I was waiting by the phone for a call that didn't come
baby, baby make me feel alright
it's been so damn long I don't know how to mind

call me up anytime we can be friends for life
especially in the evening when i don't need to be alone

baby just do what you want

I tried to get through the forest in my dreams
everything reminds me of you even the ocean liners
baby you left us all alone and i followed
on the rocks at the edge of day 
where the ocean ends and the colours spin

baby just do what you want

there's no right, there's no right time for grief, 
when there's no love in the city

baby just do what you want"

Baby Just Do What You Want

Find Me another

"An afternoon stroll back to the car, 
we talked for hours an inch apart
a bag on your back
trees overhead

I reached for a lemon hanging over the fence 
and i gave it to you
the sun streaked clouds and the smell of citrus
follow you when you left

eyes, skin, lips, cheeks
we are just these human masks

there was a boy stuck in his head
he was not yet alive and not quite dead
when he awoke beside the bed
was a dream world that he left

eyes, skin, lips, cheeks
we are just these human masks"
