There were ghosts in the floor
We were scared of more
We were searching through the night
There was nothing to do
But sit and talk to you
It was such a nice surprise
I know that we can’t know
the ending, ending
Don’t take this wrong
I’m not that strong
We’ve got some ground to cover
There are times for remorse
There are seasons of wars
For ships passing in the night
There are reasons to fear
Like the passing of years
I’mma lose my mind
I know that we can’t know
the ending, ending
Don’t take this wrong
If our ghosts hang on
Then we’ve got some ground to cover
There is so much to learn
It takes patience to yearn
So let’s take this slow
There are ghosts in my head
I need to put to bed
Before we give this a go
I know that this is just
Beginning, beginning
Don’t take this wrong
I’m not that strong
We’ve got til dawn
If our ghosts hang on
Then we’ve got some ground
Then we’ve got some ground
Then we’ve got some ground to cover

There are shapes I see in the dark
When I’m careless at nightfall
When I’m careful at nightfall
There are rooms that I can’t recall
That make my skin crawl
And my jaws lock
And my knees shake
And then buckle
When I see you walk in the room
And I can’t help it
It’s worth it
It’s not love, it’s not love
It’s not love
But I can’t go there
It keeps slipping through
There are times when
I don’t know who’s who
I don’t know who’s who
You focus in and out of sight
And I’m nearsighted, nearsighted
And I won’t do it again
I won’t be blindsided, blindsided
I know that tone of your voice
And I don’t need you to tell me
That we never could agree
I should have seen it by then
That you were treading on thin ice
Fool me once, fool me twice
But I can’t go there
It keeps slipping through
There are times when
I don’t know who’s who
I don’t know who’s who
You focus in and out of sight
And I’m nearsighted, nearsighted
And I won’t do it again
I won’t be blindsided, blindsided

Treading Water
04:21
|

|
You pushed out to sea
You turned and waves to me
I’ll see you again on another shore
But we’ll never be this close again
You will just be
a fading memory
You will just be a fading memory
I’m treading water just to stay sane
I could’ve just floated here all day
I tend the garden, I sew the pain
Into the soil day-after-day
Then you will be
All around me
Then you will be all around me
I blame the currents
I blame the rain
I say the words you couldn’t say
Into the quiet part of the year
I’d still be lonely
If you were here
I would just be
A little less angry
I would just be a little less angry
When I hear the ocean
Whisper your name
I ask her what she thinks you’d say
Then on the horizon
The birds start to sing
The ground starts tremblin’ at my feet
And I wish you were here
Standing beside me
And I still wish you were here standing beside me
And I wish you were here
Standing beside me
And I still wish you were here standing beside me

Breath and Clay

There’s no way
that the stars know that we’re here
If we can’t find mystery there
We’ll never find it here
I’ve tried to pray
But I just don’t have the faith
There are planets out in space
That are galaxies away
But when I’m here, I’ll hold you
Out of earth, I mold you
We are breath and clay
We are breath and clay
I found a way
To send a message out to space
If I sent it out today
It’d be lightyears away
If I don’t obey
Then the heavens still rotate
the moons will still align
And the comets will still race
And I’ll still hold you
Out of earth, I’ll mold you
We are breath and clay
We are breath and clay
And if the stars don’t lead the way
And if the darkness gives away
And I’ll still hold you
Out of earth, I’ll mold you
We are breath and clay
We are breath and clay
We are breath and clay
We are breath and clay

Close My Eyes
02:45

Every night
when I close my eyes
I hear your voice
Like it’s mine
You make a promise
That you can’t keep
Then every time
The dreams subside
I see you on
the grocery aisle
I see you out
the corner of my eye
Until I close my eyes
I close my eyes, I close my eyes
I close my eyes, I close my eyes
I close my eyes
Hold me loosely
Let me go
I’m sinking
like a heavy stone
I love you, I love you
Now let me go
The hardest part
Is every time
I close my eyes
I’m still surprised
The other hardest part
Is that I see you smile
When I close my eyes
I close my eyes, I close my eyes
I close my eyes, I close my eyes
I close my eyes
Hold me loosely
Let me go
I’m sinking
like a heavy stone
I love you, I love you
Now let me go

Over & Over (& Over)
02:48

I gotta believe you
I wanna believe you
This is spread eagle
And if you’re leaning in
And I’m leaning in
Then if I back away
I let it fade away
Then I would just replay
The way it went
Over & over & over again
I’d do it over & over & over again
It’s the change of the seasons
No rhyme and no reason
It’s the setting sun
If I breathe it in
If I can drink it in
Then if I back away
If I can see your face
Then I might just reframe
That I could do it
Over & over & over again
I’d do it over & over & over again

Solstice Song
03:12
|
|||
|
With your feet on the ground
You’re singing aloud
You breath easily
You’re climbing the trees
You’re telling me
You can see everything
The solstice, my love,
The signs from above
Remember the tide and the moon
The solstice is coming soon
Be patient, my love,
There’s no need to rush
There’s no urgency
The days are still long
So, Atlas, stay strong
There’s growth you can see
But remember the rain
The salt in your veins
Remember the salt in your wounds
The solstice is coming soon
Stay up all day
And part of the night
Teach me the native songs
And soak up the light
But remember the rain
The salt in your veins
Remember the salt in your wounds
The solstice is coming soon

Raining Humans

It’s rainy and humid
There’s nothing to eat
I can’t talk about it anymore
Let’s get an ice cream at the store
I know it’s stupid
But I still believe
We’re gonna make it out of this
It’s not a mess that we can’t fix
It’s not a mess
Maybe
It’s now or never
Or maybe
It goes on forever
Or maybe we don’t have to make that call
We don’t have to make that call
I feel ya restless
So I take a walk
Around the lake behind your house
You take a nap on the couch
Saturday’s useless
I’m starting to wish
That I’d never brought it up
I should've never brought it up
Maybe
It’s now or never
Or maybe
It goes on forever
Or maybe we don’t have to make that call
We don’t have to make that call
I know a walk through town
We haven’t taken before
If there’s any chance
I doubt it’s worth changing for
I wish we’d just call it off
Maybe we should
Maybe
It’s now or never
Or maybe
It goes on forever
Or maybe we don’t have to make that call
We don’t have to make that call

Invisible Cartography

I forget who called
I forget what I said on the phone
More proof our memories are flawed
I admit I’m wrong
I regret I waited all this time
I hope there’s something I can do
To make it up to you
In another world
I admit I’m crazy about you
Hypothetically
When it all goes wrong
There are certain things
You won’t unsee
And here’s the tragedy
That then there’s nothing I can do
To make it up to you
If I retrace our steps
The more evidence I have
That we are parallel lines
Carving out our path
We’re on that snowy walk
That I can’t forget
And there are no reasons still to be
Left in agony
Just take this simple platitude
I’ll make it up to you

Underneath It All
04:30
|
|||
|
We go out, straight to the water
Baptize our bodies
And it swallows
Every little fear we have
Lost beneath the ocean’s mass
Oh -
Dancing in the moonlight beams
Attempt another conjuring
Stars and prayers are overhead
These are just our offerings
Oh -
I could never promise you
It’s got nothing to do with you
Underneath it all
Oh - Underneath it all, underneath it all
Oh - Underneath it all, underneath it all
The magic of the reverie
To disappear from everything
But I won’t be lured away again
We’ll bow our heads and
Dive right in
Oh -
I could never lie you
It’s got nothing to do with you
Underneath it all
Oh - Underneath it all, underneath it all
Oh - Underneath it all, underneath it all
I just seem to forget about you
I just seem to forget about you
I just seem to forget about you
I just seem to forget about you
Underneath it all
Oh - Underneath it all, underneath it all
Oh - Underneath it all, underneath it all
