it's so quiet in this town, he don't know his way about
no he don't know he don't know so he goes down a one way to
the coffee shop where he smokes a stogie waits for pretty girls to walk on
bye they say goodbye they don't want any more cat calls tonight

train rolls by the coffee shop, he wonders where they stop
is it filled with pretty girls on their way to portland for a 
show tonight, a park with lights, with easy-listenin synthesisin
bet they're easy on the eyes, if i could just get to portland tonight

he goes inside and finds a little lady drawing geometric
shapes inside a sketchbook. he tells her he's an artist
she bats her lashes, big blue eyes, my oh my she's quite the sight
he says,
i know a place that's quiet maybe we can both meet there tonight

well i know that it comes easy for ya, no means yes
more means less, forget the rest
you'll decline politely and i'll guilt you right
get your one word in, and i'll say goodbye

i just wanna know what keeps your heart racin'
and what you dream at night
well i know it comes easy for ya 
you are wrong about me
you are wrong about me

I lost the access,
I called too many times
I’m reaching for anyone now 
You said, how could you still be
Smoking those cigarettes
I’m addicted to the motion
I’m addicted
Come here with that honey cornbread candle scented silhouette 
And your midnight hour, 
I’ll take what I can get
Come here with that honey cornbread candle, don’t let me forget 
Livin’ with no regrets, she says
But there’s so much I regret 
I call my mother, my father 
And all of my friends 
I’m lonelier than I can comprehend
If love were simple, so easy 
Rolled off like a trend 
Then this holy heart where you would be 
Is simply on the mend 
I can’t do that much without you, 
Time has got a mouth
Telling secrets, showing me in stride 
What I am missing now 
And I’m leaving a mark on January 
It may be cold but I am sedentary
I skip the part where I am missing you hard 
Fast forward to Utah, a new start some new ink
A new life, a new heart 
I’m leaving a mark where I’ve been 
Intertwined with the vastness of sin
Years of wishing that I was different 
Years of wishing that I could be 
A little softer, a little sober 
A little nicer, a little older
A little caring, less daring 
Fare well with all the changes 
Pretending I can face it 
	
Not lose what I have worked for 
I’ll be the man that fixes your door
Someone you hope for 
Your shoulder, a friend 
I love you endlessly 
I love you endlessly 
I love you endlessly 
Your shoulder, a friend 
When did it end?
I love you endlessly 
I love you endlessly 
I love you endlessly 
I love you endlessly 
I missed the exit 
I left too many times 
I’m searching for you in the crowd 
You said how could you be 
Smoking those cigarettes 
Well I’m lonely now 
Yeah I’m lonely 
And I’m leaving a mark on January 
It may be cold but I am sedentary
I skip the part where I am missing you hard 
Fast forward to Utah, a new start some new ink
A new life, a new heart 
I’m leaving a mark where I’ve been 
Intertwined with the vastness of sin
Years of wishing that I was different 
Years of wishing that I could be 
A little softer, a little sober 
A little nicer, a little older
A little caring, less daring 
Fare well with all the changes 
Pretending I can face it 
Not lose what I worked for 
I’ll be the man that fixes your door 
Someone you hope for 
A shoulder a friend 
A shoulder a friend 
I love you endlessly 
I love you endlessly 
I love you endlessly 
A shoulder a friend 
When did it end? 
I love you endlessly 
I love you endlessly
I love you endlessly

on the mark.

I think
I think I’m made for you
And I think
I think we’re made to fit
And I think
I love you just a little bit

So, say you will buzz all up in my ear
Speak to me in the german you won’t let me hear

Tell me more
Explain a little more in depth
We are we, we are free love
We are legitimate 

So, whisper that you want to save the nights for me
Tell me you’ll leave tomorrow if it had to b-e-e

You sit in the sun and close you eyes 
And take it in through your skin
Like there is nowhere else you’d rather b-e-e 
But pollinating flowers and things, oh

I think
I think I’m made for you
And I still think
I think we we’re made to fit
And I think
I love you just a little bit

So, say you will buzz all up in my ear
Speak to me in the german you won’t let me hear
So, whisper that you want to save the nights for me
Tell me you’ll leave tomorrow if it had to b-e-e

So, whisper that you want to save the nights for me
Speak to me in the German you won’t let me hear

So I took my map and headed east
Off to Montana where the trees are far apart
Leaving the city where I’m leaving my heart
Where I leave my old eyes to fall asleep
To fall asleep, to fall asleep
In the old bed in which I used to dream

I curse over a winter snow
I cannot believe how bright it glows
Upon the hills, it’s just the thrill
Of everything, so still and I
Leave my old mind to fall asleep
To fall asleep 
To fall asleep
In the old bed in which I used to dream
In the old air I used to breathe
In the old houses, so to speak
I just leave it all to fall asleep

Off to Yellowstone I drive
Under all that pressure can you survive?
We have a lot more in common than I’ll ever dare to say
But I drive off to you anyway
Drive on
I just drive into the sun
I just drive and carry on
I used to sleep with the covers over my head
I never used to dream but when I did
I dreamt of summer fields that would never end
I dreamt of happiness and now I can sleep

So I took my map and headed east
Off to Montana where the trees are far apart
Leaving the city where I’m leaving my heart
Where I, leave my old eyes to fall asleep
To fall asleep, to fall asleep
In the old bed in which I used to dream
In the old air I used to breathe
In the old houses, so to speak
I just leave it all to fall asleep

anaconda, mt.

Like a stone I am heavy in your sea
I am sinking to your free
Im am binded to your body
From my toes up to my teeth
If I could see any further than the week
I would take your second chance just to
reflect on everything
Like the wind I am whisperin in your ear
I am the clear of atmosphere
Late at night or early morning
When the pressure disappears
Cause midday everything is turning round
Everyone’s moving and unleashed
Pavement is hot under our feet
Then you take me by surprise
Tell me something honest with my smiles inside your eyes
Like a bird I am swiftly flying south
To the middle of your earth 
to the inside of the mouth
That belongs to my true first
The cold it is inside of your blood
It’s in the NW undertow
And the inside of your soul
But I love you more than you will ever know
And I hope you take 18th while you’re listening to me
In the fall when leaves are changing and welcomingly
So are we
It’s your birthday and I cannot believe
that we started back in may and that I kissed you at nineteen
Then you take me by surprise
Tell me something honest with my smiles inside of your eyes

like a stone.

Come to me my queen 
To be the crowned to be the royalty 
That I kneel before and down I go the rabbit hole 
It echoes for a while I see your smile ‘for I go 
I stay alive in all the quiet and the cold
Oh my fragile heart
It is unspoken it is golden
In the twirls and twists of bliss
I miss your
Consistent, your visions 
You are the goddess that is glow
You are the temple of light
That I worship alright…
Come to me lover
Your eclipse is full
With rapid water high enough
To be a pull
So fill me up and break me down
shatter your king
I feel like a fool
A fool for you are
The champion of hearts
The queen of spades
The light before the days begin
You are sin
You are tamed
You are winning me over
With my name
Baby baby, oh don’t you know 
I would wait until the stars aligned 
I would wait until the moon froze over 
I would wait for the perfect time
To bring you to tears
To feed you your fears
To be your dream sometimes 
To leave you suddenly and 
Come rushing back 
To fix you 
To be yours 
To be more, queen
Come to me distance
You have not been resisted
Come to me atrophy 
Upon you, just one glimpse of me
I fall apart
Come to me heart
Come to me queen
Come be my dream
Sometimes
Baby baby, oh don’t you know
I would wait until the stars aligned
I would wait until the moon froze over
I would wait for the perfect time
To bring you to tears
To feed you your fears
To be your dream sometimes
To leave you suddenly and 
Come rushing back
To fix you
To be yours
To be more, queen

queen.

Wake me say to me
That you would drive the capitol 
With heart of gold
And kiss like coal
Don’t you know the snow like me
Heavy rain
Can’t complain
It’s just an excuse to lay comfortably
We stare into the close lights, far sides
new sights 
Rusty cattle guards
Open field of panic sometimes I just want to know where you are

Summer came then it went
My last five dollars have been spent
On cigarettes
Wish I could stay 
Up late 
And reason with you

Wrap our heads around the universe
Yes, it is kind
And I don’t mind if this get’s worse
I would just drive into the night

Just to stay up with you
Climb a mountain and stay in the trees with you
Wipe the world of worry and get rid of all the hurry
As soon as you

Wake me say to me
That you would drive the capitol 
With heart of gold
And kiss like coal
Don’t you know the snow like me
Heavy rain
Can’t complain
It’s just an excuse to lay comfortably
We stare into the close lights, far sides
new sights 
Rusty cattle guards
Open field of panic sometimes I just want to know where you are

wake me.

we have these photos of us lined up inside of our room
our walls are thin but then again, a perfect shade of blue
our porch wraps 'round the sunny side and floors creak beneath she
is a blondie with a haunting way of looking right through me
there are perennials and vines growing through floorboards in our house
i will leave them alone but they're too pretty to keep out
the walk-way to our garden could put my boredom to use
i will tend to it when my handsome hands are not all over you 

she's reading a novel and she smiles when i show
she pokes her nose over a book and says that she's ready to go
to the movies to take more pictures, we can hang them on our fridge
so our kids will know that happiness just means to forgive

she knows i'm tough to crack and i am not the king of hearts, but
a joker rather though i never want to be apart
we have this silly way of keeping light when things get dark, and
every star in the sky's just an adventure that we embark
and they hang like memories on branches of black that we can't see
and in the end, we will have all of them when we're set free

she makes some tea for me as we sit in the grass
she decides to read me poetry that we wrote in the past
i live inside those words like i could live inside a book
the stars may have exploded but there are still photographs we took

playing house.

you leave me high and dry
after you leave me satisfied
if you cry out to me
after blowin' smoke then
there is nothing to hold

chorus:
baby, i might be cruel
but i don't find the things in me
that i haven't found in you
you might think that i was lost so long ago
baby, i tried to lose myself but
i am cornered by your ghost

i turn the knob on 
my radio/all the time
i'll find a station soon
and if i don't then i will fall asleep
dreamin' of a tune

(chorus repeat)

i turn the knob on
my radio/all the time
i'll find a station soon
and if i don't then i will fall asleep
dreamin' of you, dreeeamin' of you

you might think that i was lost so long ago
baby i tried to lose myself 
but i am cornered
cornered

up in smoke.

Every day is just another day I wonder 
If you feel the same or if you love me undercover
Undercover 

I'm wonderin' if we should stop
But I'm bankin' on another drop
Of my heart, when you say we're not through 
Oh, every day is just another day I wonder 

You took my coat cos you were cold and then you told me
You've been wonderin' if I feel at all

I'm willin' to give it a shot
The time we have now is all we've got
If my heart breaks in two, then so what?
So what....
If you ever were to wonder, so what?

I can only wonder about you for so long 
My heart has started stirrin' and my visions gettin' blurred by your song 
I can only hope that you will stay all night long 
If you leave before the mornin', I'll let ya get on

Get on, girl don't tell me why you couldn't stay
Don't apologize for things you didn't do 
If you leave me high and dry
I'll be ready to say goodbye 
If my heartbreaks in two, then so what?
So what....
If you ever were to wonder, so what?

I'm wonderin' if we should stop
But I'm bankin' on another drop
Of my heart, when you say we're not through
Oh every day is just another day I wonder 

I'm willin' to give it a shot
The time we have now is all we've got 
If my heartbreaks in two, then so what?
So what....
So what?

W: We stayed up so late that the moon fell asleep
Laying in the dark, you told me how sweet 
C: How sweet I am, so sweet for you
I could have guessed that you would treat me like a real man
Good man, a real good man for you 

(Instrumental)

C: Well I called it quits, said I can't do it
When I kicked my heels, the dust made a cloud
W: So you went around it to find me 
We may fleet, but it is sweet, and you can't not be seein' me

Chorus (Caden and W):
Well my mind is a'racin' 
And my heart's tryin' to pace ya 
As I'm chasin' you now
I was after you before 
You got your handle on that door 
And I am patient somehow 

W: All our friends 
W&C: Knew before we knew 
W: You're still so 
W&C: New

(Instrumental)

C: We stayed up so late that the moon fell asleep
Layin' in my arms you told me we could be 
W: The best of you and alla' me
Well I can't rid you of my spell
No tellin' what we'll do

Chorus (C+W):
Well my mind is a'racin' 
And my heart's tryin' to pace ya 
As I'm chasin' you now
I was after you before 
You got your handle on that door 
And I am patient somehow 

W: All our friends 
W+C: Knew before we knew 
W:You're still so 
W+C: New (x2)

Morning is young we are young 
With the world to take on
I forgive your cold hands 
And sleeping in too late 
I can only stay for so long 
In the crook of your arms I wake 

Rain breaks
I am tired with the weight 
of your old ways 

Well I will die fightin' for you or
Die tryin' not to fight 
Your signs of light remind me that I'm home
Home 

Night has arrived 
It is quiet with the silent falling snow 
Pitch black exciting but I'm crying 
Begging you to not let go

I can only stay for so long 
In the crook of your arms, I lay

Long drive home
My hands between your legs your heart and in your soul 

Well I will die fightin' for you or
Die tryin' not to fight 
Your signs of light remind me that I'm home
Don't go

I can only stay for so long 
In the crook of your arms, I wait

i was talkin' to the moon
tellin' it all the things that i would say to you
i got stuck in the clouds
sayin' all the things i wanted to get out
it might be a long time for i die
but if i seperate soon
know i'll come right home to you

i was catchin' spirits by the heat how i find you
in the light of the forest room
the closest thing to whole
now if i weren't with you
i might as well be alone

then i was riddlin' my way into november like
it was the only month i could remember you by
you stole your way into my memories and slowly
brought me back here
now when my mind strays
all the bad ones disappear

i was frozen in my ways
couldn't blame it on the day, no
couldn't blame it on the cost
of the trust that i had lost, oh
the words were rested on my teeth
i could only lose the sleep for so long

you stole your way into my memories
and slowly brought me back here
now when my mind strays
all the bad ones disappear

i was talkin' to the moon
tellin' it all the things that i would say to you
i got stuck in the clouds
sayin' all the things i wanted to get out
it might be a long time for i die
but if i seperate soon
know i'll come on home to you

january.

Winter comes, goes
Stays a little longer than I know it should
You say you don't have much to offer
But I see what you've given me is good
Melt your snowflake on my tongue, just a 
Ripple in time, I know
That's how fast I've seen you go 

I won't stay if you don't want me to 
My nails are chipped and my lips are blue
My head keeps spinning spinning around you
I don't have time to reason
You seem to live on risk of leavin' 

How do I satisfy?
If you turn back tonight 
Oh clementine, you've become
This sweet blood orange of mine 

Seasons come, go 
Stay a little longer than I know they should 
I shot for gold and hit a mine of roses bloomin' in your soul last night 
Last night, last night I saw you cry, cry 

Winters comes goes, stays - stays, comes, goes

seasons.

there’s little sad sitting in that hallway
where I pinned ya up and said 
even if we dont work out we'll still be friends
years have passed and im not the same man that I used to be
but I know you can still see my heart
we were apart even when we were together 
I could never put the bottle down
or leave my mind, as unsettling as it sounds 
what can you do with a sick man, who can never keep a memory?
who could never keep you close enough to me
oh. let you down
oh, let you down
oh just another day for me
now I'm in Tennessee 

I reminisce in our kissing drivin up the mtn just to soar down in the sun
even when it got real bad we sure had fun
arms out the window in the Chevy, the waves crash heavy in the afternoon 
I just wanted to get lost with you 

I lost you, alright 
I lost you, alright
I lost you when we could no longer
hang our hats up at the door
I lost you, alright 
I lost you, alright 
I lost you when we couldn't stand to make music anymore

there’s little sad sitting in that hallway
where I pinned ya up and said 
even if we dont work out we'll still be friends
years have passed and im not the same man that I used to be
but I know you can still see my heart
we were apart even when we were together 
I could never put the bottle down
or leave my mind, as unsettling as it sounds 
what can you do with a sick man, who can never keep a memory?
who could never keep you close enough to me

chevy man.

I think about our little house all the time
I think of strawberry blueberry raspberry blackberry eyes
Think up yellows and blues, think of greens
think up a thousand things that you and I have never seen
It’s true 
I’m thinking up the thought of you
I picture you covered in paint
I picture coming home at the end of the day
I picture you gettin’ mad
I don't know what it would be like to be like that

I think about our little house all the time
I think of strawberry blueberry raspberry blackberry eyes
Think up yellows and blues, think of greens
think up a thousand things that you and I have never seen
It’s true 
I’m thinking up the thought of you

I know you're thinkin' of me
I know you’re wonderin'
If theres anyone
else I’m seein'

Lemme tell you baby, I am yours
Lemme tell you baby, I am yours

I think about our little house all the time
I think of strawberry blueberry raspberry blackberry eyes
I think about our little house all the time
I think of strawberry blueberry raspberry blackberry eyes
I think of strawberry blueberry raspberry blackberry eyes

blackberry eyes.

I thought that you were just another dog
I thought that you would chase me all along
Low and behold I watch you go right past me

Majestic eyes I see them smiling and wise
I lose myself in those deep brown eyes
We have the world at our feet
If you will conquer it with me

We get a little closer you get a little older
You’re starting to look over your shoulder
At me
Now I know were meant to be

Will you go everywhere with me
We’ll see the things we need to see
Go the places we should go

At the end of the day, we’ll ride on home

just another dog.

she woke up in a hurry

She comes billowing above a blue sky line, turning in on herself
To my surprise, my sweet crying eyes know I’ll never see this form of her again
I felt her next to me, the smoky mountains made a home of me
In the wind she goes sideways, she goes any way she wants
With little warning, she turns on me and leaves me stunned
All the times I wanted out of the city where the creeks don’t flow as strong, or wide, or clear
I was sitting in the creek with my eyes wide open, heart swollen, wishing you were here

We let it go and both agreed
We could come and go anytime we please
The best of her was made for me
The best of her was made for me 

That smoke, hanging over water, kissing my cheeks, makes me feel younger
Every time I focus my eyes on her golden lines, she moves a little slower

I’ll take it from here, I’ll take it from here
She moved behind the mountains and the sky was clear
She moved behind the mountains and the sky was clear
She moved behind the mountains and the sky was clear

song ab a cloud.

There’s a little bit of snow on the mountains
It’s thirty degrees
And I miss you, and how
You say right now
Is the only now
And all of this except the snow it doesn’t matter somehow
How?

You’re over in Virginia sleeping nice and sound
A nap before you go out on the town
I can’t help but picture just what your life looks like now
Are you colder in the mornings
Without me around?

And so, it goes
Your ghost is around me
You slip between my arms 
Like you found me
And though you know
I feel you in the space
Between sleep and when I’m dreaming 
Awake, and then you’re leaving me again

You say you want to visit me soon
And lighten up this dark and the gloom
Of the room that I sleep in
I just want you to be it
I just want you to haunt me
I just want you to want me

There’s a little bit of snow on the mountains
It’s thirty degrees
And I miss you, and how
You say right now
Is the only now
And all of this except the snow it doesn’t matter somehow
How?

You’re over in Virginia sleeping nice and sound
A nap before you go out on the town
I can’t help but picture just what your life looks like now
Are you colder in the mornings
Without me around?

And so, it goes
Your ghost is around me
You slip between my arms 
Like you found me
And though you know
I feel you in the space
Between sleep and when I’m dreaming 
Awake, and then you’re leaving me again

your ghost.

Oh Alaska, and the midnight sun is letting me dream large 
The air is cool, the summer’s blue 
Everywhere you go, you travel far 
By plane and boat and sea, and fast cars 
Oh, the Seward Highway wildflowers remind me of home 
2500 miles away, but I don’t get homesick anymore 
With this chill, the sun, I can’t be lonely 
How? 
How can I be lonely? 
In Anchorage, the freezing rain keeps the city quiet 
Smoke billows from chimneys and the fog is hanging low 
And I feel fine 
It makes me cry, it makes me feel something 
Why am I so touched by all this untouched land? 
I possess the beauty of a touch-starved man 
My heart swells when I think about you 
You’re in my books, you’re in my heart, my drive to you is past-due 
I’ll touch you with my eyes 
Love you with my time 
You are my fever dream 
You are my fever dream 
I feast my eyes on you 
I feast my eyes on you 
I feast my eyes
I feast my eyes on you
I feast my eyes on you
I feast my eyes on you

oh, alaska.

Measured in time, how long must I go
With you in mind?

Empty, unspoken for
Tossed like a rind
Of fruit, you took all 
But a bite

Orange and mellow
Blood sweet billowin'
Stranger to a heart like mine

Rage turns to sadness when I think too long
About melodies we could write
Measured in length, how long must I go
To love your singing voice?

Orange and mellow
Blood sweet billowin'
Stranger to a heart like mine

Lemon lover, citrus, miss your
Wild like a windy night
Gently she blows on the nape of my neck
And when I turn around,
She is gone

Well I guess I'll get used to that x2

Measured in time, how long must I go
With you in mind?

Empty, unspoken for
Tossed like a rind
Of fruit, you took all 
But a bite

I'm sweet as I fall apart 
Skin and all
Oh but I have a sensitive heart
Skin and all

Lemon lover, citrus, miss your
Wild like a windy night
Gently she blows on the nape of my neck
And when I turn around,
She is gone

blood orange.

Sorry

Say what you mean
Mean what you say
Call me when you’d like 
I’ve only got five minutes babe,
not counting the cost 
It’s good to hear from you, anyway
But I don’t find myself looking for answers these days

I’ll say I’m sorry 
Tell you I made you up 
Say how I broke it off 
It’s been some time now,
I forget 
Call me the bad guy
Tell me I wasted it 
Can I get over it?
You only live inside my head 
You only live in my head 
You only live in my head 

Last I heard, you were well
But I didn’t tell you
Sorry 
Better now, moving on, but want you to know
Sorry
All that hurt 
For what it’s worth
Sorry 

Call me cheap, call me a lush
I’ll still miss you this much 
Keep in touch, live a bunch, Aly

sorry.

This city’s bigger than I thought it would be 
Everybody’s livin’ life 
A bit of wonder goes a long way with me 
I can’t help but wonder why 

I only like the idea of you
I wonder why I even try 
I’d even drive the miles for you
I’d choose to come there tonight 

I can’t help but wonder 
I can’t help but wonder why 

Drivin’ this heat and my head’s feelin’ light
But baby, I am feelin’ fine 
A bit of heat goes a long way with me 
Tell me, can you feel this fire?
I hope I am as wrong about you as you are about me 
I’ll see your lie and raise you two
If I’m a game to you 

All you have to do is say what you want 
All you have to do is say

I can’t help but wonder 
I can’t help but wonder why 

I only like the idea of you
I wonder why I even try 
I’d even drive the miles for you
I’d choose and come there tonight 

All you have to do is stay if you want 
When all you do is drive away 

I can’t help but wonder 
I can’t help but wonder why

wonder why.

Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I knew
I knew that you were leaving and there wasn't a thing that I could do
I am hornery and lots of things that you don't like
You turn your headlights on, you shake your head, and drive
Drive, baby drive
Kiss that moon goodnight
I know when I wake up in the morning, you'll be gone

And I will say goodbye

goodbye.

Summertime Blue 
Oh, how far will I go?
Where does the circle begin?
If I had a way to name it
Would it still exist?
If I had a way to claim it 

Will my mind wander far 
To where your blackberries grow?
The vines carry your nurture,
Devine in nature, you 
Swallow me in summertime blue 

I can be impossible 
Still, I miss the way your hands shake when you’re angry
And clench up when you’re sad 

Can I get along fine 
Hanging on the wire?
I can’t say I am broken,
But I know that I am tired 
Don’t think about me, think without me, but if you do
Swallow me in summertime blue 

Will my mind wander far 
To where your blackberries grow?
The vines carry your nurture,
Devine in nature, you 
Swallow me in summertime blue

summertime blue.

Call it what it is 
I am furious 
Loving me for pleasure,
When you have unrequited love of your own? 
So why keep me here, alone?

New year, new fear of trying too hard 
You set the bar,
But I don’t even know who you are 

She came to me in a dream - 
A haze, a day
We built the story in her name 
I can only keep so long 
Before I break...
(Here I am in pieces, over you)

You were free to go, free to stay
One-sided and quietly,
Whatever you want
Slip away, slip away, but when you do 
I’ll be right here to haunt you 

You don’t keep me comin’ like you used to 
You don’t keep me comin’ like you used to 
I can’t build a home like I used to
But you don’t keep me comin’ like you used to

new year.

Sunny day, trying times 
Happy to have met you 
Where there’s dark
You find the light 
Shinin’ me up like you do 
Cheaper than a postcard 
Free’r than a bird, we both soar 
A summer day is finer when I know 
I’ve got you around 
Connection I can stay for 
Friendship I adore 
I could say a lot of things,
But I’m never gonna say it right 
So I’ll write it down 
From the bank, or all in 
I’ll leave that up to you
I don’t know what’s hidden, but
I see you’re excited too
It’s nice to like the view
When the city’s sky’s burstin’ baby blue
Spending time with someone I find brilliant and it’s you
Sunny day, trying times 
Happy that you met me 
I’m an ear for what’s eating you
Or I can be distracting 
Connection I can stay for 
Friendship I adore 
I could say a lot of things,
but I’m never gonna say it right
So I’ll write it down, hmm

penpal.

Lucky
Smoke in my eyes
I burn red
I am ash
I am dead
Sinful deceit 
Cold feet
Hot hands 
I ascend 
I won’t forget (you)
We met in the trees 
When the sun was high and hot 
I lost myself in God,
I even prayed:
“Take it all away,
Or take me with you-“
Reaching for answers in the sky
With sturdy legs for standing 
I crane my neck and cry...
Try to be understanding 
I want your love
To be loved 
Live a life that is long 
Demand is fuel 
Don’t blink, 
For I am the fool
Melt me so
I won’t have much further to go 
You can lay me down tonight 
My sleepy smoky eyes won’t pry
This is what I will remember you by

lucky.
