garbage truck

I’ve always been so afraid of the things I can’t control
Like accepting that you couldn’t stay, and the sound of the garbage truck
I wanna be a better person to you
I’ve been away but I’ve been thinkin of you
I’ve always been so afraid of the things I can’t control
But I am not bound to make the mistakes I did before
I wanna be a better person to you
I’m here to stay, leave my door open to you
I wanna be a better person to you
I wanna be a better person

lookin at the light in life through
the lens of those I miss wont
serve my purpose wont
solve my problems
In the inverse of my loneliness
each ember has intention
In the inverse of my loneliness
each has meaning
miss I may
miss I might
I will live inside myself tonight
I’ll stop strivin to share my life
with those not ‘round to listen
no more futile motive memory makin
just for hopes’ sake of givin
In the inverse of my loneliness
each ember has intention
In the inverse of my loneliness
each has meaning
miss I may
miss I might
I will live inside myself tonight

sheets

|

|
And now where my wall meets ceiling, it curves like yours
Like the highway to your home
Like the edges of your voice
Like that hungry mouth of river
Like the truths that leak from underneath your porch
Do you think of me when you change your sheets
Do you think of me when you change your sheets
And what does it mean
What does it mean
What could it mean
What should it mean

If i fell into your arms would you let me go
If you have love left in your heart would you let me know
No more nights wishin you were home
Not much left between your skin and bone
Ana brought me to myself again
Drivin down that basin bridge
Oh Ana look at what youre workin with
Can you hear me thru the crowd of clouded compliments
We’ve been waiting the whole night for this
Oh i thought i knew you
Oh i thought

autumn
01:47
|

|
when one door closes another door
opens up
and autumn sneaks out the back, o no,
quiet pause/paws
don’t let the cat slip out
solstice absence, you left without a
“see you soon”
a timely mistake, one night before the
winter moon
don’t let the cat slip out
don’t let the cat slip out
don’t let the cat slip out
don’t let the cat slip out

humor the notion,
prophetic dreams,
snow pilin up in my passenger seat where you sat,
left a crack in the window to slip through,
I woke to the thought of it all
mid-march-miraculous
midnight “one more time”s
absentmind drivin straight thru that red light
Thru the red light thru
go means green
means naive
go means green
means naive
go means green
means naive
go means green
means
in moderation anything’s okay
makes my stomach hurt
but I love the taste

songbird

I thought that I was dreamin
When you told me in your way that you were leavin
And wastin awaitin to wake up
Drink the tears from overspilling silver cup
and when I opened my eyes for a first time
I watched the rain fall through the light
but the morning hung heavy like the night
I spread my wings and cry
o songbird swallow me oh
songbird swaddle me up
in your shimmering silver lining
the sound of your sparrow song spare me from sighing
and she sings
“Do i love you enough”
and she sings
“Can i love you enough
I swore I loved you enough
I know I loved you enough to stay”

nesting blues

Once in a half moon dream of you
The sound o the semis rollin through
I’ve seen no clouds since movin to
California
Ill fall in love with someone new
Once in a half moon, passin through,
I’ll dream about stayin here with you in
California
A well settled room
And the carvings on the wall
There is a beauty in the nesting
There is a tire to the sprawl
Thursday roleplay
I’ll pretend to stay
In any one place
For a while

I'm sorry i don't call you when i say "i'm gonna call you this time"
it don't mean that i don't love you, it don't mean that you're not on my mind
I think about you all the time, and i'm doing just fine
I just love the way it feels to come home here
I just love the way it feels to come home
I been taking some time of my own here
I been taking some time
am i the mountain
am i the light
am i the gray sky
am i the sight of the sun for a moment
are you doing alright
am i the memory that'll keep you up at night
and is that alright
I'm sorry i don't call you when i say i'm gonna call
I trust you know how much i love you
trust you're doin just fine
I trust you'll be there in the morning
trust i'll hold your heart in mine
trust i'll be here in the morning
trust i'm doin just fine

to carry (feat. Laith)
04:33

true love is real I
felt it in the mornin
wakin up there next to you
take us to school the
steps all worn and tired
classrooms filled with memories
pages line your favorite room
it’s okay
we carry our pain
in separate ways
on different days
but I’ll be there for you
when you want me to
true love is real I
felt it in the summertime
singin on the porch with you
we’ll light the candle
foretell all our fortune
tears back to the ocean
ribbon round the south and
when we finally split in two,
it’s okay
we carry our pain
in different ways
on desperate days
oh I’ll be there for you
if you want me to
true love is real I
wrote it in a postcard
one I never gave to you
real love is true I
taste it on my tongue each
time I sing these songs I
wear it on my sleeve I
feel it in the fog I
hear it in your laughter
swim in your forgiveness
meet me in the middle
kiss it where it hurts

through sometimes
04:59
|
|||
|
I’m teary eyed on commercial street
your neighbors paint their front porch green
the river smiles, mouth open wide
n the clouds all clear, the sun she shines
the only way out is through sometimes
the only way out is
ill learn the things to pass the time
that i meant to know that slipped me by
ill braid my hair, ill make the rice
ill do my best, oh how i try
the only out is through sometimes
the only out is
