LYRICS

NO DIVINg

A BIRD ALONE

Don’t let go I swear he’s singing to me

Here we are right where we shouldn’t be

But he keeps singing ooooo

You've got to stay

The wind sways me like a song

Dancing all alone for so long

Just keep moving ooooo

Landing only inches from my hand

I see myself in him and I finally understand

A bird that sings alone is odd but still alive

And I am he as everything he is am I

Didn't take to the sky

Till I walked away

What's keeping me safe?

Don't let go

Don’t let go

I swear he’s singing to me

TWILIGHT IN KANSAS

I’m so sick of being Juliet I know I’m dying by the end of the story

And the lines in my mouth will bleed themselves out

I'm still raw but don’t feel any glory

I know as much as I’ve been taught

Life is only moved along when moved along by thought

I know as much as I’ve been taught

It isn’t a lot

What light are you blinding my eyes?

Lips as soft as shadows

A rose by any name may be as sweet

but she’s bound to wilt and before you fall her petals

I know as much as I’ve been taught

Life is only moved along when moved along by thought

I know as much as I’ve been taught

It isn’t a lot

We don’t have to be casting a tragedy

I’m so sick of being Juliet I know I’m dying by the end of the story

And the lines in my mouth will bleed themselves out

I'm still raw but don’t feel any glory

I know as much as I’ve been taught

Life is only moved along when moved along by thought

I know as much as I’ve been taught

It isn’t a lot

WHERE OR WHEN

Whenever I try to walk a fragile line

Can't live one day at a time

I’m driving and driving again

Out I don’t know where or when I am

Only looking for a friend, keep falling in love instead

If I keep going on this road will end

I’m driving and driving again

Out I don’t know where or when I am

I’m stepping out on the town

But everyone around me is looking down at their hands

And I don’t understand

I think I'm a little lost and found

Made up of little pieces of everybody sound

I’ve got no back up plan

So I'm driving and driving again

Out I don’t know where or when I am

MRS. TAKE

Wont you get a little closer

Won't you look into my eyes

Don’t you see there’s something waiting

On the other side

Now I'm sitting on the oven

You just called me a mistake

Better to have known me

Than never make

Putting back the pieces that I borrowed

I’m reluctantly alive

You’re scared of tomorrow

But darling so am I

CAPTAIN OF A SINKING SHIP

Flowers of another world

You're waiting there for me

I cut my legs to linger my hands

On your skin and you tried to warn me

Don’t stray too close too the sun

Don't warm your feet by anyone

Don't listen to the signs you were never meant to find

Keep your heart in line

Fingers of another hand

You're reaching out for me

I’d rather rise in love

But I find myself falling slowly

Don’t stray too close too the sun

Don't warm your feet by anyone

Don't listen to the signs you were never meant to find

Keep your heart in line

A(ROUND)

Water ripples out in circles

Clouds are in the sky

We were born to follow patterns

No ones asking why

Water ripples out in circles

Clouds are in the sky

We were born to follow patterns

No ones asking why

The river stops when it’s freezing

The lake in heat will dry

I’ve got holes inside my shoes

And the memory of you and I

The river stops when it’s freezing

The lake in heat will dry

I’ve got holes inside my shoes

And the memory of you and I

I don’t know just where I'm going

Can't keep my feet down

If I'm not afraid of growing

All that’s lost is found

I don’t know just where I'm going

Can't keep my feet down

If I'm not afraid of growing

All that’s lost is found

I don’t know just where I'm going

Can't keep my feet down

If I'm not afraid of growing

All that’s lost is found

SHALLOW WATER

Welcome to my lonely winter

Don't forget your coat

The air is still yet the wind whispers

Everything you know

The trees will shiver

and the cold stops the river

The wind it will howl and blow

And I don’t know you anymore

The air stings your lungs

You're coming undone

Under a blanket of snow

Oooo

The trees will shiver and the cold stops the river (x2)

SUBSTITUTE TEACHER

You know that you can misbehave

Your normal teachers stepped away

And this must be your lucky day

You know I couldn’t make you stay

The class begins to fill with noise

A paper plane could knock my poise right down

That I build up just for you

But you didn’t want me to

I think I said too many words

So many that it starts to hurt

I killed the plants in my backyard

I talk too much they grow too far

I’m addicted to the noise (x3)

And the sound of your voice singing to me

I'm addicted to the noise (x3)

And the sound of your voice singing to me

A THOUGHT

What are these things which men see and hear

That we call ghosts

That mean the most to them

How silver sweet the sound of whispered song

I cant help but sing along

Sing along

I just had a thought but I lost it

There’s a hammer in my head

Keeps me moving where I’m going

But I never get there in the end

Just had a thought but I lost it

How silver sweet the sound of whispered song

I can’t help but sing along

Just had a thought but I lost it

What are these things which men see and hear?

Am I a ghost?

THE ODE

Do you get the feeling

The sudden thought

That all of your clothes are too tight and too hot

The weight of your sweater is getting the better of time

And the pill that you swallow is eating tomorrow alive

You can’t hide from yourself like everyone else

Do you hear that whistle at 9:02

Do you get the feeling that I'm thinking of you

Did you hear it tonight like our yellow-lined fight by the moon

Do you sit and wonder if we could be under a spell broken by two

Me and you, if we knew what to do

I put back the love that I borrowed

to save my tomorrow for myself

And you took one look at my book

and you put it right back on the shelf

And I know that I shouldn’t have asked you for more

When I don’t even know what I’m asking for

I even let you turn the lights out

But that didn’t help

No that didn’t help

The city will echo

With the sound of the train

And I'll be long gone

When you whisper my name

You'll turn blue every winter and I’m just a splinter in time

More convenient to tell me I'm crazy than question your mind

But in time

You will find

OF SHADOWS

WORTH

Can’t you see that it’s been raining

Don't you know we’re wasting time

Is it even worth complaining

Do you even care if I'm fine

I used to sing in my sleep

At least my brother told me so

I’ve got no innocence left to keep

All I've got now is letting go

Get a grip says my reflection

Your losing your mind

I left my heart without protection

I should have known you could never be mine

Someone else should bare the burden

Of looking me looking me in the eyes

You know I know you know I’m hurting

And you chose to say goodbye

Haven't cut my hair since brook street

Haven't learned to let it go

And now it’s brushing against my knees

So darling I've gotta take it slow

And I'm sorry that I love you

But I'm more sorry to myself

Take the blame in both of my shoes

Keep me on your shelf

FLOWERS

He said I didn’t pick this flower for you

But I guess you can have it now

And we could talk for an hour or two

But I shouldn’t stick around

The moon is crawling closer to the earth

He said you promised that you wouldn’t need me

and I hope you don’t change your mind

There’s something lonely about being so free

But there’s someone I’ve got to find

The moon is crawling closer to the earth

And morning bursts the bubble of our worth

I wonder if your insides filled with dirt

Just like mine

He said I didn’t pick this flower for you

But I guess you can have it now

Vices

I’m a vice just like your cigarettes

You think twice

Before touching me again

And I don’t mind

A little loving with a dear old friend

So jump right in if you can handle it if you can handle it if you can handle it

I’ve been moving around

Dancing through town

With no shoes on my feet

You say you’re still coming down

From the last time you found my sugar to eat

Who am I trying to hide from

Take what you want there’s nothing left to keep

Nothing to keep

Your filling sneakers tattered and torn

Well worn, you should have come with a warning like me

Your smart your loud your proud

I’m sick of all this sound

I’m a vice just like your cigarettes

You think twice before touching me again

And I don’t mind a little loving with a dear old friend

So jump right in if you can handle it if you can handle it if you can handle it

jump right in if you can handle it if you can handle it if you can handle it

Don’t Fret

I play until my fingers bleed

I sing until my throat is begging for a sea

My visions getting kind of blurry

and I'm losing sight of what’s in front of me

Maybe I'm free

The melody is in my body and you don’t know what that’s worth

The melody is in my body and I have left the earth

Oh it moves through me and I thought I saw it moving through you

I did I do

I close my eyes but I don’t sleep

I write a thousand songs I may never keep

And I’m forgetting how to quiet

All the voices in my head so I’ll sing with them instead

The melody is in my body and you don’t know what that’s worth

The melody is in my body and I have left the earth

Oh it moves through me and I thought I saw it moving through you

I did I do

Thought I’d be okay following the songs

But I was wrong

The stories not true

Thought I'd be okay following the songs

But I must be wrong

They all lead to you

I play until my fingers bleed

It's not enough for you

Its enough for me

I close my eyes but I don’t sleep

You're just another song

I don’t need to keep

Lonely Birds

Wont you dance a little closer

I know you want to

I hope you’re gonna

Hear this song inside of your head

Was it there before a word was even said?

Maybe we didn’t notice

The weather changing outside our window

The lonely birds will sing there song

Just to make the time go

Oooo

I can feel it when you’re moving

No need to see you

It's not worth proving

But won’t you dance a little closer

The music’s playing

And I’ve been swaying all alone

Singing oooo

Unpathed Waters

When I try to sleep alone at night

I find the time

To rearrange my lonely mind

Swimming in the moonlight

Dive right in

The water is fine

Diver right in

The water is fine

Rotten Apples

I’ve been alone before and I still hear knocking on the door

Don't know if it’s real

And you look like you’ve seen a ghost

And darling we could make the most

of every sour thing we’re bound to feel

Peel back my skin I’m rotten

Peel back my skin of satin

I must be invisible and my heart is divisible

By every single man who took a bite

Hold tight to your apples

Do right by your teeth

Memorize all your fables don’t you look twice at me

Hold tight to your apples

Do right by your teeth

Memorize all your fables don’t you look twice at me

Joker

There's something dead in the water

But something in the trees is sweet talking to me

There’s something broken in my body

But something in my chest just won’t let me rest

And I’ve been looking for a place to nest

But I can’t seem to find my way home

You've been looking for a place to rest

When your head isn’t really your own

And I can feel the magnets deep inside of your bones

And they’re pulling me pulling me pulling me pulling me close

Your brain is soaked in liquor and it’s only four ‘o’ clock

And your stumbling stumbling stumbling stumbling home

And I’ve been looking for a reason to laugh

But I don’t seem to get the joke

And I think you’re looking to forget the past

And to cut the lump from your throat

You're a riddle wrapped in substances

A poet to the core

And you’re puzzling puzzling puzzling puzzling me

My brain is soaked in liquor and it leaves me wanting more

So I'm wondering wondering wondering what could be

Undreamed Shores

You need a chaser to follow me

You're gonna chase her to follow everything you made her in your head

You need a chaser to follow me

You're gonna chase her to follow

But who’s the one inside your bed?

If I’m a fly on the wall

Id close my eyes not to fall into another world we used to know

No matter how many eyes

I can’t tell the lies apart from parted lips that felt like home

Burn my throat

Throw the stone

Burn my throat

Throw the stone

You need a chaser to follow me

You're gonna chase her to follow everything you made her in your head

You need a chaser to follow me

You're gonna chase her to follow

But who’s the one inside your bed?

You need a chaser to follow me

You're gonna chase her to follow everything you made her in your head

You need a chaser to follow me

You're gonna chase her to follow

But who’s the one inside your bed?

Sound & Fury

You said all the wrong things at the right times

We're not the people we think but the ones that we hide

Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow creeps over today

They can’t take my light if I smile and give it away

Pretend I’m okay

You grow like a garden and darling

Well I'd never ask you to change

But now I’m pulling weeds from my brain and my teeth all the same

Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow creeps over today

They can’t take my light if I smile and give it away

But I’m not okay

You said all the wrong things at the right time

Love isn’t patient or mindful of time

Haunted by the footsteps

That we’ll never leave behind

Our trains on time

So you’ll never cross my mind

Signifying Nothing

All our yesterdays are fading

Nothing to hear anymore

Not a moment I would trade in

I don’t regret what I live for

And do you walk inside the shadows

Cast by the light of the fools on the floor

The brook we’re drinking in is shallow

When I'm not dancing I’m not sure (x3)

Of Liminal Space

The Fairytale of Particles and the Origin of all Realities

"To the as-yet-unborn, to all innocent wisps of un-differentiated nothingness: Watch out for life. I have caught life. I have come down with life. I was a wisp of undifferentiated nothingness, and then a little peephole opened quite suddenly. Light and sound poured in. Voices began to describe me and my surroundings. Nothing they said could be appealed"

I've come down with a little case of life

watch out it might be contagious

(you better watch out)

Undone by cosmic decisions

I knew I saw stars in your eyes

what did you see in mine?

Empty Museums

She's been searching through a ballroom filled with stardust

and dancing with glittering light

but something's not right

am I where i'm meat to be tonight?

He's been asking all around

if they've seen her but nobody knows what he means

are you stuck in a dream

is everything only as it seems

They sway with every star they find but they've never felt alive

Do they know how close they were tonight?

They can softly speak not with their lips but with their eyes

making their way across the sky

So they wander and they wonder and for now they don't even know who they are made up of stars
so close and yet so far

Waiting Rooms

One day you'll wake up with a fever and notice that your mouth is running dry

Scared to look for meaning in the slivers or light that other people left behind mmm

She's never on the minds that she's supposed to be

she's saying sorry that you're even thinking of me mmmm

Drop your things and disappear

nothing lives outside a year by me

I can only hope you take your time leaving

can't let me down down down if I don't build you up in my head

Warehouse Stairwells

Thought I loved you but I don't right now

thought I loved you but you're not around anyway

couldn't ask you to stay

I lost my balance and I'm falling down

I'm getting used to being on the ground

and you let me think that's where I belong

I feel my feet on the earth just as I feel the earth on my feet

and I'm warming my hands by the fire you started in me

Threw a penny right into a well

and well I wished you would go straight to hell but I took it back

cause I'm so sick of being mad

I feel my feet on the earth just as I feel the earth on my feet

and I'm warming my hands by the fire you started in me

Crossing space and time to heal

still not sure how I feel

and you've got your band and darling I've got mine

so you don't need me and darling I'm doing fine

and we always knew it was only a matter of time

I feel my feet on the earth just as I feel the earth on my feet

and I'm warming my hands by the fire you started in me

Pluckley Thorne

Won't you won't you come a little closer
I would love to love to get to know your mind
and I could let you crawl inside of mine
if you like

Don't I don't I recognize your eyes
does it always come as a surprise
when you find yourself with the love of your life
that's right

I'd like to know do you do you dare me?
honestly it takes a lot to scare me
do what you like nothing ever wares me out
That's what i'm talking about

Only fools would keep this life forever
but I'd like to get to know you better while we're stuck inside reality
you and me

Won't you won't you come a little closer
I would love to love to get to know your mind
and I could let you crawl inside of mine
if you like

The Dance

May I have this dance said the girl to the stars
can you still love me with all of these scars
I heard your music before it was playing
this is me bare this is me saying

May I have this dance, May I have this dance, may I have this dance?
Will you take a chance?
Take a chance and dance with me

Dispersed Stardust

Your hands we're warm and soft but we skipped the part where they held mine
Your voice was warm and soft now it's stuck inside my mind

Here I go around with someone new
still thinking about you
when i'm trying my best not to I do

Try to remember your smile
but it's fading fast and it's been a while
Never knew what you thought
Or who I am
When your not-

Here I go around with someone new
still thinking about you
When i'm trying my best not to I do

Hour by hour and flower by flower
(hour and hour by flower and flower)

Here I go around with someone new
still thinking about you
when i'm trying my best not to I do

Never know what you had
until you've lost it
I lost every friend that I knew
Went for the prize without asking the cost
I lost my center I centered on you

The ground fell through
I'm chasing truths
I still cant prove
I won't lose

I found my edge and your fingers pushed me
said I deserve love but you don't mean from you
how can you want all of my pieces
and still look at me like a rock in your shoe?

The ground fell through
I'm chasing truce
I still can't prove what is true

Never know what you had until you've lost
I've lost every friend that I knew

and what did you mean when you said it's too easy?
Whats wrong with simple?
What's wrong with me?

Hummingbird

How does your body contain your heart?
Moving quickly underneath the parts
You let them see

Time moves slowly
or maybe I just move to fast to be a part of anything

can you hear that ringing in my ears?

My first impression wasn't wrong
a flutter in my heart and a dark unsettled song
Turns out I was the one singing all along

Haven't you heard the hummingbird song?
Haven't you heard the hummingbird song?

My head and my heart move too fast for my own good
a hummingbird should know better
a humming bird should know better
a hummingbird should know better

Lost and Found

She looks just like the devil that I used to know
They say that makes her better than the one you don't
He's been thinking lately that he'd rather know nobody

They're a little lost
they're lost a little
What will it cost them to be found

He's working in the garden while she stays in bed
He's sleeping through the night she goes out dancing instead
The only place they'll ever meet is somewhere deep inside their daydreams

They're a little lost
they're lost a little
What will it cost them to be found

They say it is what it is so it is what it is
taking a mile they're calling an inch
dancing with each other somewhere in the stars

They're a little lost
They're lost a little
What will it cost them
What will it cost them
What will it cost them to be found?

Here the Moon Also Has a Place

Close your eyes and count to ten
I know you'll see me again
if only in the dreams you try to keep
I'm losing you but you'll be losing sleep

Over me

Don't close your eyes
don't say goodnight
don't change your mind
don't call it blind
ooooo

"They say that everyone is on a journey to find purpose and meaning in this chaotic world. Sometimes we find people who are kindred spirits that help us along our way. It is rare to find someone who's world view mirrors our own never mind finding four such parallel thinkers. Add to this the insatiable desire to perform dark magical spells with blood sacrifices, and the chances of finding like-minded people are slim to none. I was lucky.

Oh my
Oh my bitter sweet lullaby
I'll see you in the starts
tonight
close your eyes and count to ten

Begin Again

I've come down with a little case of life
watch out it might be contagious
(you better watch out)

Of Concrete Steps

The Family is Cursed

My neighbor thinks that I'm a witch
and I don't exist
My neighbor thinks that I'm a witch
and i'm casting spells on them

My teacher told me I'm a witch
and they don't exist
My teacher told me I'm a witch
thats why I don't fit in

They said Rebecca was a witch
They don't deserve to exist
the children threw their little fits
say she's casting spells on them

So if you must call me a witch
Can't say I don't exist
you could put me in the ground
but my spells are still around

Her specter came to me one night
by the pale moonlight
she said child listen close
cause there's something you should know

If they're calling you a witch
then we must exist
if they're calling you a witch
Just cast your spells on them

And So it Goes

Hey you with the stars in your eyes
can you see me over here?
Am I invisible am I alive
am I right to think that maybe you could hear me?

Sooner or later I'll learn my lesson
we meet on a rainy day
the suns out anyway

and so it goes
the garden will grow
and the leaves will fall after all,
it's what they know

Hey you with the light in your smile
Am I asking too much for you to stay for a while?
I've been dancing alone at the edge of the world
I'm nobody's girl

and so it goes the garden will grow
and the leaves will fall after all
It's what they know

and I could show you
where I go to
I could show you
Where I

Sooner or later I'll learn my lesson
we meet on a rainy day
the suns out anyway

Read My Lips

I bet you think that you're too cool for the car that you drive
and you'd say you're misunderstood
Bet you think you're special but I have known men just like you
and they never say sorry when they should

It doesn't hurt to ask but it hurts to get an answer
You've got a thing for dancers
and I'm still keeping time by the length of my hair
the longer it gets the less I care about you

The warmest days play like a film inside my head
So many ways, so many words I wish I said

The sky is still the sky and the stars are still shining
even if you're not here to point out what they are
but now I don't remember any constellations and I'm trying not to wonder if you're near or far away

Are you looking at the same stars
is your gaze upon the sky
in time with mine

The warmest days
plays like a film inside my head
so many ways
so many words I wish I said
instead

Feet on the pavement and a song in my head
a little voice inside says I'm better off dead
and now I've learned my lesson
just like somebody said
follow the thread you'll find spiders
follow the thread you'll find spiders

follow the thread you'll find spiders
follow the thread you'll find spiders

follow the thread you'll find spiders

follow the thread you'll find spiders

Eternal Eternalists

Drawn with idle spider strings

The web of every single thing

That’s ever been or ever will be

Crawling on the silk I've built spun across my mind

Weaving leaving out the guild

Lonely love is blind

I crawl across the stars connecting earth to mars

Leaving behind a glossy past

Drawn with idle spider strings

A web of every single thing that’s ever been and ever will be

My fingers crawl across your skin where oh where does it end

And where do I begin

Hour and hour by flower and flower

Ask For

Do you think that your life is a movie

Do you fancy yourself a star

Do you know that I'm standing behind you

Do you remember who you are

And you can ask me anything

What I wouldn’t give to sing with you again

You can ask me anything

I liked the way you pulled my strings

What’s the harm in trying

(we said)

What's the harm in lying

(they said)

Whats the story that we’re buying?

When you could as me anything

What I wouldn’t give to sing with you again

You could ask me anything

I like the way you pull my strings

I found the harm lied in lying beside you

For more than an hour or two

Blink once and I’ve lost a day and a year

Blink twice and I can’t find my shoes again

But you could as me anything

What I wouldn’t give to sing with you again

You could ask me anything

I like the way you pull my strings

How can I promise that I’m not in love with you?

How does the moon change the tides of the sea?

Did I say thank you for who you woke up in me?

Ever say sorry for who she had to be to

you could as me anything

What I wouldn’t give to sing with you again

You could ask me anything

I like the way you pull my strings

My strings

Moving backwards has a funny way of bringing us around

Never held my hand

But you am not a stranger to my sounds

So could I ask you anything

What would it take for you to sing with me again

Could I ask you anything

Can we start over like the spring?

Moving backwards has a funny way of bringing us around

Time To

I’ll never be a wife and I’ll never be a mother

But I could be in love and I could be a lover

So if you’re dreaming of a green green lawn

And a classic family

That’s not a train that I am getting on

No that’s not the way for me

I could make you laugh and I could make you smile

But everybody wants me only for a little while

So if you kiss me do it slowly

Cause I have known some violent love

Their hearts are hollow but their arms are warm

And I guess that’s close enough

Cause I'll never be a wide and I’ll never be a lover

But I could be in love and I could be a lover

So if you’re picturing a perfect home

The pitter patter of little feet

I hate to break it to myself and I

But theres no place in there for me

Cause I’ll never be a wife and I’ll never be a mother

But I could be happy just to know we had each other

So if you’re dreaming in a melody

On a stage with dancing lights

If you’re picturing a crowd to sing along

To the words we stayed up writing all night

Then you’re dreaming of me alright

I’ll wait a lonely lifetime to find you

Cause I'll never be a wife and I’ll never be a mother

But I can be in love and I can be a lover

So if you’re picturing a starry sky and you’re not afraid to fly

If you’re picturing a world you’ve seen before

Somewhere in another life time

That you didn’t want to leave behind

There is something screaming in my mind to find you

Move Slowly

Break my back keeping track of the ways I'm getting old

And I don’t know where the time goes

When I’m not looking out

Can't turn around on the things I've found

For the ones I've lost before

Move slowly if you can

Hide my face I can’t replace the portrait in my mind

I paint of you, the one I knew

The one that we both left behind

Move slowly if you can

Don't give away your hand

Never trust a lustful man

Change your laces change your plans

Hour and hour by flower and flower hour and hour by flower and flower

Hour and hour by flower and flower

Break my back keeping track of the ways I'm getting old

If at All

They always wanna come but they never wanna stay

Then turn it all around on me trying to say

If I was a different person they could feel a different way

But the stars are still out during the day

Even if you can’t see

Even if you can’t see, even if you can’t see

they don’t leave

You're both the same man in my head cold outside of your bed

You're both the same man in my head the repetition fuels the dread

You're both the same man in my head he is you just like I said

And you acted like him I was afraid of this

I skipped the party climbed a tree

Safe up here no one can see

whether I’m still crying over things I shouldn’t be

Through Unreality

There are many things you’d like to change about me

There are many things you’ll never understand

There were many things you wanted from my body

Never once was it told hold my hand

Bought a gallon of wine and a gallon of water

And I finished them off like we used to

Before you were playing father to her daughter

There are many things I’d like to change about me

There are many things I’ll never understand

And the summer taught me how to hate my body

You say love is not a feeling but a plan

The sky doesn’t look like it used to

or maybe it’s my eyes that have changed

My voice is the loudest inside my mind

Good things come to those who wait

But I've lost my patience

There are many things they’d like to change about me

There are many things they’ll never understand

They may want a fraction of my body

To hide it in their car or in their van

Not a part of the plan

I never am

Not a part of the plan

I never am

Not a part of the plan

I never am

Not a part of the plan

I never am

Between the Lines

We ran into the pines climbed into the summer

Opened up our minds

Twice I crossed the line with a friend

Never again

I hold my breath one day at a time

Dancing down the line

Measuring my spine with your fingers

One day at a time

Dancing down the line

Measuring your spine to remember you by

I crawl beneath the leaves

Fell into the winter

Bruised my heart and my knees

Twice you let me down and so I said never again

I hold my breath one day at a time

Dancing down the line

Measuring my spine with your fingers

One day at a time

Dancing down the line

Measuring your spine to remember you by

I should erase the picture of you on my phone

But there’s something about your face that still feels like home

When I’m alone

Don’t hold your breath

I've got nothing left

Don't hold your breath I’ve got nothing left

We lie beneath the flowers letting hours pass us by

Letting hours pass us by

The Stars Know

Speak now or forever hold your tongue

This is your last chance cause darling I am done

You're obsessed with staying consistent

So you always take the loving and run

Said it’s better to have and to lose but you skipped over me standing in front of you

And if you ever loved me better keep it to yourself

If you ever loved me better keep it to yourself

Cause you said you didn’t and put me through hell

I’m sure that you fault all our evenings in the sheets

Isn't it easy for you to blame the chemicals inside of me

But consider your behavior for the moments in between

A smile on my face could make you weak in the knees

And if you ever loved me better keep it to yourself

If you ever loved me better keep it to yourself

Cause you said you didn’t and it’s too late now

We sang our lullaby me head laid on your chest

I didn’t know at the time this part was so dangerous

The melody in our throats made the ghosts dance

And I would have loved loving you if you would have gave me a chance

And if you ever loved me better keep it to yourself

If you ever loved me better keep it to yourself

Cause you said you didn’t and put me through hell

Put me through hell

So speak now or forever hold your tongue

UNDER FLETCHERS ARROw

IMPRACTICAL MAGIC

Oh my darling they don't make em quite like you
and that's the point
i'll dream up someone who cannot come true
cause its safer and its all I can do

So m darling you'll wear one sock at a time
and never lace your shoes up
without stepping on a dime
cause you glued one to your shoe
like I did mine

and if i dream up someone impossible
I cannot get hurt
if I dream up someone improbable
I'd have to find them first

So my darling you'll have eyes of gold and green
when I stumble over my words
well you'll still know what I mean
cause we wont need sound to speak

and if i dream up someone impossible
I cannot get hurt
if I dream up someone improbable
I'd have to find them first

So my darling
you must know every word
of John and Paul and Andy
yes each of the songs that we've heard
we were singing in time with the birds

we were singing

thats just the way it is (x2)

thats just the way
oh thats just the way
oh thats just the way it is

Lastly my darling you'll have memorized the stars
and surely you're from nowhere
or maybe you could be from mars
at least if you're not real you wont be breaking my heart

cause last time I dreamed up someone impossible
they showed up at my door
and this time i'll make sure you're truly impossible
and I wont search anymore wont have to search anymore

So my darling I will dream of you
and I can only hope
that my wonderings never come true
in spite of myself I can't help but look
for you

Needle Yew

In only a moment I lived a lifetime with you

I didn’t know it then but the juniper grew

on the north side of the hill

wait for you I will

on the north side of the hill

Do you remember the thrill?

There was a ringing

loud inside of my ears

and I didn’t know it then but the others could hear

on the north side of the hill

wait for you I will

on the north side of the hill

Do you remember the thrill?

They say it’s good for me

to be alone

and I didn’t know it then

but I’m far from home

On the north side of the hill

wait for you I will

on the north side of the hill

wait for you I will

It Takes Two

You’re a little old to be the new kid

you’re a little to wise to be playing so dumb

you’re a little tall for this basement

your scary when your eyes are numb

but one of our stories is not like the others

one of these days I think you’ll know

it takes two to move one another

so I’ll pack my bags and take this show on the road

I was not a feather in your cap

more like a rock inside of your shoe

they say a miss is as good as a mile or something like that

still I wasted a while missing you

But one of our stories is not like the others

one of these days I think you’ll know

it takes two to move one another

so I’ll pack my bags and take this show on the road

One of our stories is not like the others

one of these days I think you’ll know

it takes two to move one another

so I’ll pack my bags and take this show on the road

You’re a little old to be the new kid

you’re a little to wise to be playing so dumb

you’re a little tall for this basement

you’re scary when your eyes are numb

but one of our stories is not like the others

one of these days I think you’ll know

it takes two to move one another

so i’ll pack my bags and take this show on the road

pack my bags and leave tomorrow

don’t bother to follow

Tonight

I feel silly in this dress and everyone must know that I’m

a mess inside despite what I have tried to hide up underneath

this hair I couldn’t do again, and darling I will just pretend

that I don’t care if anybody talks to me tonight

So I’ll still see you at the party but I will not be there long

and don’t expect to hear from me unless I’m supposed to play a song

because my words are always fuzzy when I laugh they come out wrong

then people look at me and figure out I don’t belong

So I’m gonna be over here

and if somebody needs me

don’t tell em I’m there

I’m gonna be over here

and if somebody needs me

don’t tell em I’m there

Do you feel silly in that tie cause you look like some other guy

I’ve never even met and I am hoping I can get another chance to look at you

the way you really want to be

I love the stains on all your t-shirts and the holes in all your jeans

I’ll hide out back when I can’t breathe

and in spite of it killing me I’ll smoke another cigarette to prove just how dead I can get

so follow me or stay inside

either way I cannot hide and honestly I’ve never really tried to run from you

So I’m gonna be over here

and if somebody needs me

don’t tell em I’m there

I’m gonna be over here

and if somebody needs me

don’t tell em I’m there

So grab another alcoholic drink to all the failed responses none of us can stop from falling right out of our mouths

and I am hoping quietly that all the little things I see are adding up to more than this

but I am full of doubt

So I’m gonna be over here

and if somebody needs me

don’t tell em I’m there

I’m gonna be over here

and if somebody needs me

don’t tell em I’m there

I feel silly in this dress and everyone must know that I’m

a mess inside despite what I have tried to hide up underneath

this hair I couldn’t do again, and darling I will just pretend

that I don’t care if anybody talks to me tonight

Let You Down

Trace the curve of my shoulder as I turn away

I feel so much older than I did yesterday

and I must be broken cause nothing seems real

the words I have spoken are not how I feel

You know I don’t love you there’s no yarn to spin

there’s no point in asking if I still love him

Cause you’ll see the answer inside of my eyes

in spite of my effort I can’t seem to hide

I’ll let you down my friend

I’ll let you down

don’t have to come around again

I know that I’m bound to be letting you down

I’m sorry it’s not you, I’m sorry we’ve met

the love of my life is my only regret

the nights are still lonely when I’m not alone

prove to myself you felt different to hold

It’s not about sleeping it’s down to my bones

it’s more like a feeling of being at home

and his arms were longer by two thumbs of mine

compulsively measure those who lay by my side

I’ll let you down my friend

I’ll let you down

don’t have to come around again

I know that I’m bound to be letting you down

Think I now know the difference between lust and love

when I get tired I’m thinking of him

and you’ll see me tomorrow but I’ll probably cry

When I notice you notice him inside of my eyes

Sooner or later you’ll say goodbye

a kiss on my forehead holding me high

I wish I could love you

I promise I’ve tried

my heart doesn’t listen to my rational mind

I’m still in the silence and cruel irony

I can’t stand your bed the way he can’t stand me

I’ll let you down my friend

I’ll let you down

don’t have to come around again

I know that I’m bound to be letting you down

You trace my shoulder as I turn away

I can’t help but wonder if he hears this rain

you ask me to stay here by your side

can’t sleep next to you with him on my mind

Over It

You’re so sure that you’re over it but you were never even under in the first place

the contradiction makes my head split so it’s still hard to look you in the face

you’re faking it and doing a great job

but I can see the hands on the clock

you’re faking it and doing a great job

either faking it now or you were back then

but you’re so sure that you’re over it

How can you get over something you were never even under?

if you’re so sure that you’re over it

well thats a cowardly way to admit that you love me

Too late and a little to sure

too early to assume who you were

too timely and a little too wise

too scared to look me in the eyes

can’t help but count the wasted time covering my bruises and patching up my mind

longing for answers I’ll never find

but I’m so glad that you’re over it

cause you never let me know you were under it at all

and I’m sure not getting over it

how can I get over something I was never allowed to fall for?

Say you never tell unless you’re asked

well I asked over and over again

say there’s always doubt inside your chest I’m afraid to let anyone in

well if doubt is love to you then you loved me more than I ever knew

and maybe you still do

doubt me like you used to

You were too late and a little too proud

I was too early and a little too loud

it’s been too long and I’m a little to hurt

but I will always love you for what it’s worth

kick my heart through the dirt

cause I can’t forget you

kick my heart through the dirt

you know that I’ll let you

kick my heart through the dirt

Are you so sure that you’re over it

do I have to spell it out

cause I don’t wanna shout

but I’m not so sure that you’re over it

How can you get over something

that we never confronted in the first place?

Here We Go Again

I’ve got nothing to say you would want to hear

don’t expect an answer that’s very clear

I read between the lines

It’s hard to see your name near mine

but not together

every letter comes alive

and I’m happy that you’re happy

the obligatory phrase

difficult to say when you can see right through my face

I’m happy that you’re happy

though myself I’m pretty sad

I’m happy at least one of us is glad

I’ve got nothing to say you would soon believe

nobody takes me seriously

My words they don’t feel right

where is the voice I used to find?

wrote you 48 letters but I threw out 49

They said I’m happy that you’re happy

the obligatory phrase

difficult to say when you can see right through my face

I’m happy that you’re happy

though myself I’m pretty sad

I’m happy at least one of us is glad

One day at a time I’m losing my mind

I look backwards and here we go again

I’m so tired of questioning my friends

interrogation of creation of reality of sin

Here we go again

I’ve got nothing to say you would want to know

instead of talking I’ll just go

Your words they don’t sound right

you came by in a dream last night

said you wrote me letters but you lost them to summer time

They said I’m happy that you’re happy

the obligatory phrase

difficult to say when you can see right through my face

I’m happy that you’re happy

though myself I’m pretty sad

I’m happy at least one of us is glad

oh I’m happy at least one of us is glad

Yes I’m happy at least one of us is glad

Say Anything

Looking in the mirror I don’t like what I see

and I’m trying to make clearer the better parts of me

but I’m crying for the third time today alone

I don’t know home

and I find I’m empty and I don’t feel brave

and my heart is heavy and I hate my face

I’m out of place

Crawling over embers of the fire in my chest

and I’m trying to remember

while forgetting all the rest

but the weight upon my shoulders

is keeping me down

I’m sick of my hometown

And I find I’m lonely when I’m not alone

in a crowded room I’m still on my own

flowers don’t grow in the cold

Calling on my memories

I don’t know what I see

and I’m bending over backwards to blame it all on me

something broken I can fix

is safe in my hands

lay the fault on my land

say anything

say you’ve always known the way home to me

Looking through the mirror

I don’t know who I see

and I’m trying to make clearer what he never saw in me

but I’m searching for the right words

your eyes tie my tongue

I come undone

but I still remember when your eyes were warm

I was your shelter

from being normal

For You

He never held my hand or told me I was pretty

in fact he said that I was nothing to see

and now I miss him the same way I miss the city

like an unrequited love in a dream

I’m a little nervous and I hate the competition

I tend to lose cause It’s agains’t myself

can’t trust the compass that directs my intuition

I’m always saying sorry I fell

‘

but it’s easy for you to know

and it’s easy for you to grow

it’s so easy for you to go without looking back

Now I’m suspicious of anyones affection

and I don’t think that I will ever believe

the one who holds my hand and tells me that I’m pretty

surely that can’t be what they mean

but it’s easy for you to breathe

and it’s easy for you to speak

it’s so easy for you to believe in love at all

Keep your feelings close inside of your pocket

keep your head up in the clouds

making promises to stay forever

but you found your way back down

Where it’s easy for you to smile

it’s been easy for you for a while

it’s so easy for you to compile your victories

against me

You mow your lawn and plant a garden on purpose

by my home I let the wildflowers grow

their still pretty I won’t let them feel worthless

like the many things you had to let go

so many things that you still don’t know

so many things you still don’t

so many things that you still don’t know

Easy

I am not tall

but I am still strong

I am not full

but I think we can get along anyway

I am not dead

but sometimes it feels that way

too much in my head

all the things I forgot to say but I meant to

footprints we will never leave will forever be haunting me

I am not smart

but I found my way out here

and I am not loud (loud)

but I hope my words are clear

to you

and I am not dead

but sometimes it feels that way

too much in my head

all the things I forgot to say

to you
