Beginners

You and I rediscover winter skin
July on your sweet tooth grin
Let my eyes wander home to yours
Say "baby, what are you waiting for"
Freeze I might
Cold dog frightened by your flame
Stray and wary of new names
But I am aching to be tame
Don't pull your hand away
Your evening eyes and the pair I once woke up to
The hours of light since I first saw inside of you
We can crawl up to my bedroom's sunlit spine
Where I am yours and life is mine
Watch shadows stretch us across the lawn
Beginners, giants, gone
Sweet scary unlocking
My pyrite heart two sizes small
For every feeling that won't stop howling through
But I keep a chamber clean for you
I want you like sugar
I want you like water
Want to drive you so wild that I don't need to know why

One On One

Secondhand smoke works like magic
I'm baritone like a saxophone that's twisted around itself like
I want to be twisted around you tonight
My broken watch works like magic
Since you got it fixed the sun keeps rising higher
Until the night you can take it off, take me in one on one
With the yellow lights of Belgium sliding over your sweet sleeping
I told the goddess of love's planet
I don't want to stop being your man
Your brown eyes work like magic, dissolve the meanness in my chest
When you kiss my lips and look at me
I want to be what they see

Honey

Honey why'd you text me
"I'm sad I didn't take a chance on you"
When you knew I was someone's baby?
What did you want?
Well honey I'm easy
I own my feelings
So you know what you're giving up
When you unstick my star from the ceiling
You were drunk I was sober so I didn't kiss you back
You were drunk I was sober so I didn't kiss you back
I was sober so it goes without saying
And we were worth being sober for
Honey I see you
I know you're a warrior
When you smile the war in me pauses
When you stared at me forever
Honey I'm hungover
Chest shaking bass doesn't shake you out of it
I don't love you like that
I just think with time I would have
You were drunk I was sober so I didn't kiss you back
You were drunk I was sober so I didn't kiss you back
I was sober so it goes without saying
And my love's worth being sober for
Honey you are worth being sober for
And we were worth every wasted hour

Talk To Me
04:18

|
Who's this in the flower dress?
When she turns my way will she make me forget the way time moves when we're talking?
I called out in your language
I guess a part of me knew
But my heart beat like crazy when she turned around and into you
You can't tell me everything you're thinking, but you can talk to me
You can talk to me
I won't let you read the code I'm blinking
If you want to, you can talk to me
You were wearing the green of the subway globes
And I refused to speak but my soul was home, listening to the two of you talking
You wanted an answer
So you came closer and recited your alphabet till I nodded
Wishing this would not end
End of June is just shaking with emotion
And you can talk to me
You can talk to me
Little bud we've got both great oceans between us
You can talk to me
Last night in your kitchen
Did you know it was the last? I didn't
Hell no. We were dancing
With the table between us
And the room outshined by two blue fabrics as you made them move in time
I can't dance the way that I would like to
But you can dance with me
You can dance with me
I still use the shine you left in my shoes
I miss you
Talk to me
I'm in love with the world tonight in that big in the shoulders shirt you like
Walking to work beside the last lightning beetles of summer
It's a three day moon
It's the C in the black of my eye
It's a bottomless query
"Mama if I keep him in my room"
"Baby no. He's a wild animal"

Porcupine

I want to be the book you fill up with your longing
Your theories and your jokes and fall asleep still holding
I want to be the drum who thunders soft behind you
And quickens when you hurt and moves my boots to find you
I want be to the star that slips under your curtain
The bar of gold upon your hips when you stand and spread your shoulders
You want what you want. You need what you need
And I'm a spineless porcupine hoping you will pick me

Pigeon
01:20

Little pigeon put your head down
If you can't sleep put your head down
I can do some dreaming for you
And you can do some thinking for me
Pretty pigeon I have counted
All the stars rolling over the city
And they're all still in their places
And compared to them I am next to you
And I'll still be here when they're hiding
I'll still be here in the morning
And I will still adore you
And you will still be adored by me

In Two

The moon tonight
Is breaking my heart in two tonight
All that belongs to you dear
All that belongs to no one

Sea Urchin
02:36
|

|
You were worried the cliffs would kill me
"I promise I won't go in the cave"
Saw fear in your eyes and left you
With your cell phone to manage our escape
Looked down at my first sea urchin
And I wondered about your word for it
I figured it's just a hedgehog
Who lives on the ocean's jagged edge
A stone with your first initial
You'd told me why not to take the stones
Thought maybe this one was special enough
To mean "Sorry for leaving you alone"
I tilted my head and took in L'aiguille d'Étretat
all yellow and red in the day's end
but the sweetness was gone without you
I told you just ten minutes
I didn't account for walking back
Ran over reflected sunset
And you calling to me to please not run
I should have said I was sorry
Walked with you and shut my baby face
But I wanted your smile back so bad I said
"Ich habe einen Seeigel gesehen"

Neighbors
02:11
|

|
Baby I don't want to wake the neighbors
But I want to kiss you till the morning comes
Till the morning comes
Till the morning comes
I want to kiss you till the morning comes
Baby I don't need to be a man
According to anybody but you
Anybody but you
Anybody but you
Don't need to be a man to anybody but you
Baby I don't want to scare you away
So I'll save the rest for a rainy day
For a rainy day
For a rainy day
I'll save the rest for a rainy day
