Crestfallen

I woke up two in the morning
gave up and tiptoed downstairs
you turn up asleep in the guest room
my cat has claimed you for his own
you should be sleeping beside me
if I could spin words into gold
like you would I’d say something perfect
and you would do what you were told: love me
now I can’t even fall right
I get stuck in mid air
hanging on your every word
baby I’m crestfallen too
just like you
there was a time when
you’d sing me your new songs
just friends by the light of your silly neon sign
then I opened my heart
and now that bird has flown
street lights shine through the blinds
they dance on the ceiling in lines
like the ones I drew between us
see I can play your game
but it's not the same

Collide
04:37
|

|
all my gravity
all my longing for you
pulling down the moon
I can't rise above it
every reminder of it
still an open wound
until I get a night
to get what I want from you
there's no black and white
all the lies are true
you were the last domino to fall
there's nothing left but you can have it all
everything I've tried
I swallowed all my pride
need you to collide with me
I could set the scene
for rediscovering
but I know what we'd find
all your sweetness and light
in the dead of the night
it will leave me blind
I'm not sure I care
can't call this surviving
wanna tall drink of you
even though I'm driving home
until I get a night
to get what I want from you
there's no black and white
all the lies are true

Parallel
03:34
|

we had history
it was the gravity
that held us together as we hurtled through space
now we're in between stars
pulling apart
I could reach out and wipe the tears from your face
hold that thought for a moment
last night I lost half a year
just like that
woke in the morning without you
so close to one but we're two
flying in parallel
we had mystery
I kept you guessing as we
put on our leather and spoiled for a fight
the doors were swinging wide
no one was singing I think
everyone ran out in the middle of the night
we'll catch a solar wind
the course of our love will bend
circle back from only friends
just like that

Can't Unring That Bell
04:28
|
|||
|
an ordinary day with no plans
wandrin' through the park we hold hands
suddenly you drop a bomb and
rearranged
In the middle of a joke it slipped out
like it's been on the tip of your tongue how
am I supposed to just keep on like
nothing's changed
you can't unring that bell
you can't uncast that spell
don't know if you can tell
that I feel it too
baby I love you
a hundred people all around us
noone feels the ground beneath us
shifting underneath the weight
of a turn of phrase
suddenly the tension leaves me
let's let ourselves go completely
we didn't see it coming but we can
ride this wave
I know you didn't plan it this way
I've waited so long for you to say
those words
I don't care how
I wanna live in this world now

Carry Me Home
03:44
|
|||
|
one more week through
you bring home takeout for us
'the least I could do'
you say it so sweet wanna break you in two
I'll start a fight every Friday night
I'll turn out that light (we'll see)
I don't know why I come out
We both know how this story goes
Pretending I’m happy without you alone
’til you come and carry me home
this ship of our life
sailing on waters as smooth
as the edge of your knife
you leave in the sink every morning it's maddening
I dream of the end
let me pretend
you're just a friend (we'll see)
midnight in the darkness I will reach for you
meet me in the middle like you always do

Winter, Holly Beach
03:58
|
|||
|
you said you would take me
where the sand meets the sea
you were the king of act one baby
but you grew tired of me
I came alone
I sat on the beach and cried
my tears were drops in
the cold winter ocean
one by one I'm getting over you
I can’t hear your unkindness
over the power of the waves breaking
so long I knew only blindness
in the sting of the salt I'm waking
up in the air
the dark clouds rant and rave
my tears are the drops in
the cold winter ocean
with each one I'm getting over you
your version of me would walk into the sea
but I found the high ground
and the winter set me free

In for a Penny
03:18
|
|||
|
tonight is the spoonful of sugar
the sweet in the bitter
the glimmer of sun through the clouds
rolling in bringing winter
I've been reading lines
while you've been missing signs
trying to please me
pour a glass of wine
the 1999 goes down easy
you should take some notes boy
pick your jaw up off of the floor
try not to break down
oh honey do
I was all in for a penny
but I can't spare a pound
not for you
I get no pleasure from this
never did from your kisses
I knew it all along
this soiree is my way of saying
I let it go too long
can't say the same about you boy

Love, they are long gone now
My love, rest your head on me
