Paris Again 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Enter Paris lantern light Suffocating suit and tie Conversation, sip of red wine It was easy when we tried And it was warmer late at night Out across these cobblestones I know We might not whisper in Paris again We might become the worst fair-weather friends And I know I could hear you So where have you been Lights go dim with darkness falling in Paris again We could spin these cosmic lies In cursive writing, with silver lining spooled by our feet Better health to you and me We push through the crowd and take our seats unsteadily We might not whisper in Paris again We might become the worst fair-weather friends Is that you there I swear I heard you Sing in the end Lights go dim with darkness falling in Paris again Take my love, fold it up It's warm enough I'm older now Slowing down I'm almost done And if the moon resets itself We might be here always Just a shimmering fever from a good dream Crystallized and empty 'til we feel something

Bend 04:04
lyrics
buy track
I'll hang you the moon with two broken arms Paint you pictures of stars that went out once Draw your name in the dust and take what you want I'll bring you the sun when you wake up Cause I heard that the good don't die young And I know what to do, but I can't stop You should know that I won't let you Tear apart my heart like this When the end comes There's no communion Everything breaks down, everything bends I'll keep you aloft with my wings tied And I'll sing you to sleep without lullabies And I'll hold you as close as you like And I don't want to bend

Part of This 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Fifteen years, a Polaroid stuck inside the bottom drawer I won't take another one, I don't know what the waiting's for It's not about you This house is old, it's needed something for a while Paint peeling off The roof is always leaking, and the basement's cold And now I'm watching how the days glow See you in the morning And I'm listening to the waveform Seems like loneliness is part of this It's part of this I look back on little things to try and find the rest of me And oh my god, my memory spinning like a slot machine With all the wrong words Something that's as simple as this just won't work But refinish these floors, and dim the lights And hell if that old wheel won't turn And now I'm watching how the days glow See you in the morning And I'm listening to the waveform But I think love can be a part of this It's part of this

Josephine 03:07
lyrics
buy track
Josephine why do I think about you all the time When I got a feeling you don’t think about me Write the words Hit record I could write a million more About you if I thought that it would change anything There’s fire in the air tonight And water pouring from the sky Don’t go away Cause you’re not just another pretty face And after all these days There was no mistaken you And Jo, it’s hard for me to say I think of you that way But if it’s time to tell the truth Josephine, I do Josephine Why don’t you Tell me what you wanna do I don’t think you’ve thought about the consequences Stay the night Wreck my car Leave me with a broken heart And tell me that you never want to see me again I won’t have a word to say I figured it would be this way And so did you I don’t want half of your attention And I don’t want you just as a friend And after all this time in the dark now It’s getting hard to see the light at the end Cause you’re not just another pretty face And after all these days There was no mistaken you And Jo I know we started late But if you wanna stay We can give this bed some use Josephine, I do

Everything's Cool 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Everything’s cool I waited my turn I’m thinking bout you And how it felt When everything seemed to hurt Raining all night 17th Street I’ll maybe just drive Until I find A little more room to breathe Let’s get it over with Can’t get you off of my mind I thought I wanted this But it’s a fine line Everything’s cool It’s hard to be sure Or ever ring true But that’s on me I never did seem to learn I knew you’d ease into it I want you closer than this I heard your voice in the sound I heard your words in my mouth Let’s get it over with Can’t get you off of my mind I thought I wanted this And now I’m running out of time Caught you in the gold rush Lost you in the landslide And even if it never ends It’s such a fine line

Miss You 03:21
lyrics
buy track
Sun coming up into an empty room And I didn’t sleep, but I dreamed of you Out the door, here we go again If I could bring you here in a heavy wind You were a singer in an old friend’s band And I never heard it, but I wish I had Of all the nights for me to fly back home I put my headphones on and took off It was the closest call, and now it’s gone In every way I can say that I miss you I do You met a stripper dressed like a cop And you took a picture holding his baton You called to say you like my new song You never needed much from anyone You were the closest call, and now you’re gone In every way I can say that I miss you Well I don’t want to I don't want to But I do

Mostly Rain 04:02
lyrics
buy track
Quiet Hiding Feels like we’re underneath it now Time was There were more of us But we spent all our money on ourselves somehow The sun used to shine sometimes, but that seems like long ago We’ll make the best as we go down And I like awake thinking ‘bout how I’m getting old It’s mostly rain these days so let’s kick it on down the road Brought low On the west coast Bookcase all cluttered with my shit Locked out Running out of things to sell I swear I won’t remember this In all the white noise it’s harder to listen Or really wake up Or ever sit still And even if we do What you want to say If Evelyn calls just tell her I’m missing I finally split So tell her I’m finished fucking around And standing in the rain Okay The sun used to shine sometimes, but that seems like long ago We’ll make the best as we go down, down, down And I like awake thinking goddamn, I’m getting old It’s mostly rain these days so let’s kick it on down the road

Cardinal Red 05:30
lyrics
buy track
Sugarcoated, frictionless Black tattoos on broken ribs All the best things we intend Now I don’t know How did we get into this Weren’t we both just stupid kids I don’t know how far we can let this go Everything we said we’d do Where were you I can reach across the bed To the cool space that you left And there’s a book you never read You may want back Cardinal red Morning coming Colors all run together In the end Can you ever keep love in bone marrow Cardinal red Morning coming Colors all run together In the end Can you ever keep warm in cold weather If you’re not quite tired yet You can talk me out of this All the best things we intend Now I don’t know
