Hospital Calls

When I was a child
I dreamt of a wave
So big it would crush everything
And you were awake
With the moon and the owls
Moving on any way you knew how
Back in May you were free
We had long conversations
And I thought we would be
I spent hours awake
Playing songs that you love
Hoping Two Headed Boy would be enough
Back in May I was me
Making hospital calls
Telling stories that you don't remember at all

I Still Love You

Kill the cold, we don't speak
Your eyes don't look the way they did
When you were you and I was me
We talk about the distance
And wonder why we're here
You tell me you don't care
But I still love you
You walk into the room on a Friday night
Said you'd never wanna lose me and then you cried
What happened to the man who lived inside you then
I miss him
But I still love you
One day you'll know just what it means
To love someone over yourself
But I won't be here
But I still love you

Home

So you carve out a place for yourself at the edge of it all
In the side of a mountain, old and tall
Where the air is clear and all the creatures run
Start a new routine free from everyone
Where is my home
I have come to accept all the things I had once denied
My careless heart doesn't break for the ones I will leave behind
And my mother continues to cry in bed
Wishing still for a life that she maybe could've had
Where is my home
Now I long for a joy that once flourished within me
Running wild through the pines, I could hold all my memories
And my friends are all worried my choices were not wise
Tell them all I'll be back to myself in a little while

Across the Sea
02:35
|

I haven't heard from you in days
Now all your words recall so strange
What did you really mean you wished I'd swim across the sea to lie inside your bed and waste away
I reconsider all I've done
Undress and wallow in my flaws
Where did you go, my dear
I'm not convinced that I can bear
This terrifying game of pain and cause
My love if I had only known
I would've left you all alone
Go have your fun with her
I guess this is what I deserve
For giving everything I had to you
The lack of love in all you do
I just can't separate the two
You're not so into me unless you see my body now
I'm choking on the words I saved for you

Comedy Show

Do you recall when we were last alone together
I drove for hours in the rain to see the show
Your ringing laughter in the warm and happy theater
I drank the rum and coke you couldn't finish off
Your words have always been the hardest to decipher
You're ever wavering above the lines you draw
But oh so easily you fill my heart with wonder
You're Christmas morning in the newly fallen snow
Well I can't stay here
No I can't die here
The world is wider with a diamond and a daughter
Aglow with urgency that I had never known
And all the days that I envisioned so much brighter
I held it in when I believed you let me go
Well I can't stay here
No, I can't die here
What if I die here
Run to the sink and you retrieve a glass of water
And you recede into the darkness of the room
Though you remember me when thirst, it takes you over
We'll live apart for fear of all we have to lose
