think you sped off but can't be sure
your sound is mixed with all the rest
in the field this time there was no one else
in the field this time there was no one else, there was no one
the space where you sat, nervous electricity
the shape that you left, i can't trace it yet,
it seeps back into the air
and all around the sun went low and late,
and up there are constellations we can't see
in the pathways of old dreams i think i met you there,
on a shoreline, in the reeds, in the air
dim forgotten
stuck in song
it followed me all along
nothing is complete nothing is complete
nothing is complete nothing is complete
nothing
there's a place you return to in a dream
there's a place where you believe anything

Sleep
I know you won't let me be
got a smile as a guarantee
I know you won't let me sleep
Far
I know you've come too far
I know you are what you are
I know you are what you are
it gets too close
to what you already know
Wait
are we ever going to meet
i feel you creeping out my feet
shadow on the balance beam
Stay
and take it all away
cause nothing means that much to me
but what I'd give to feel so free
read "why'd you go and waste it?"
written on the wall in a crowded basement
everything's going down this week
it's history
got a photo and pocket litany
back in time you're all so free
back in time you aren't with me
everything goes around
everything's happening now
i know you won't let me down
i know what you want me to

Oh it's so fun to be on watch
gonna storm the castle
gonna see you march
I've got a hundred rooms
just pick one, just pick one
and get to sleep
dream into me
All I want is to see you hungry
All I want is to see you starving
All I want is your weight next to me
All I want
Make the house your home
deep in some catacombs
come on and join the bones
you're in the city, you're not really alone
you're in the city, you're not really alone
come on and join the bones
All I want is to see you hungry
All I want is to see you starving
All I want is your weight next to me
All I want is you starving
I don't go out much at all
I stay in my bed
I talk to you nightly
alone in my head

Everyone But You
02:43

Everyone but you sits in the room
talks about school
fights through the gloom
whistling, drumming
knees in the candle
burnt down where your face sat
one time in April
Everyone but you
a book torn in two
tequila drips fingers
kiss lips you don't miss
I stare into the mirror and face my own fist
everyone but you
counted stars that night
but not me, I slept
dreamt you took another flight
Everyone but you
a book torn in two

Haunted house inside my chest
you're better than, than all the rest
got your eyes set on stormy seas
lost your mind and your way back to me
it's a shame, it's a shame
you and i were just the same
it's a shame, it's a shame
you wake up so you can just walk away
you walk away
the asteroid was just a satellite
your hands in scorpio moonlight
got your eyes set on other shes
you never tried, you've got no claim to me
it's a shame, it's a shame
you and i were just the same
it's a shame, it's a shame
you wake up so you can just walk away
you walk away
you walk away

Read your palm the only way i know
with fingertips, with my eyes closed
they're rivers running into lakes
moon rocks on the orbit's face
i had patience i buried my face
in quiet corners i stood in place
in a still life of some lost scene
in the ghost side of a sunbeam
what don't i already know?
i don't go anywhere you go
your eyes, awake, still in a dream
they don't tell me anything

See now, that wasn't so bad
it's always worse when you think about it
hold it in on the ride home
set your watch, eyes on the moon
someday when all the things you used to dream
are lived out or buried underground
you won't remember how the fear felt
only what you didn't do
tell them what you need
you can't please everybody all the time
hold still for the day
go to school and watch the hours tick away
someday when all the things you used to dream
are lived out or buried underground
and you remember the weight of the imaginary ties
guess they were right
dreaming in the bathtub of what came before
there's always something, something more
dreaming in the bathtub of what things are in store
one step to close the window and two steps out the door

hey love, meet me tomorrow
three miles from mexico
and still so far to go
the lights behind us start to wane
hey love, take me to the water
that place where no one else will bother
hey love, take my name return it to my father
hey love, write this down
hey love, hear that sound
hey love, meet me tomorrow
and now it's gone again
each night i'll tell you when
i heard the footsteps climb away
away away

Bright Lights

Television flicker for every thought i have
i never dreamt i'd feel so dull
throwing stones out at the sea
in my dreams and memories
oh no, here we go
i used to have a lot friends
she said from the underneath the bed
i hope this summer never ends
wind it up and start again
when we were younger
we imagined we were part of something
i don't want any lovers
can i move out gracefully away
or will i have to keep the stain
i used to have a lot friends
she said from the underneath the bed
i hope this summer never ends
wind it up and start again
bright lights make you hollow inside

Close call,
caught that train tonight
once and for all, we're fine
just you sit tight
I'm happy
Out in the ether,
come up to meet her
we'll say it's a joke
but you'll never know
and that's what you get
for loving your regret
you give me nothing
you give me nothing
it's warm out now, the stakes have changed
But if you let me I'll still feel the same
oh, you give me nothing
I'm happy

Think it over, you got nowhere else to sleep
Lay yourself down, don't worry about me
in the morning when light pushes in
Make it over, it's been such a long long time
Left the pine trees just to see if I could find
something more than the shapes we made
in the earth on those days
every summer, I wish I could still relate
But we were all just kids
and kids exaggerate
kids exaggerate

Water In The Valley

All the other eyes staring at the rock slide
pull me out and get some sleep tonight
on the mountain top there is still some air left
watch the lights rising from the other side
I can't write but i know you'll get the words
in long nights like this, it's in the firs
it's stars that don't light, it's not like what you heard
flood it out and comb the banks for her
where did you go that it's been so long?
so long
where did you go that it's been so far,
far gone?
