our mothers are worried that we will break our backs
our fathers are worried that we just won’t last
our friends are worried that we don’t recall their smiles
but we’re too preoccupied w the way the sun shines
we go oh oh oh
i love you so
all during spring you were kneeling in the dirt
seeds in yr pockets and a jump in your step
don’t forget that we have to change the clocks
and don’t forget what i told you last night
i said oh oh oh
i want you so
i need you so
you spent all summer workin out in the fields
but i hear there’s birds who like to peck at your knees
so please be careful when yr bikin to work
cause if you flew over the handle bars and died
i’d cry
i’d go oh oh oh
i miss you so
all during fall you were hacking at trees
clearing a space for yr shiny new heart
leave it to me when the sun starts to set
we’ll sit by our fire til morning and then
i’ll go oh oh oh
honey don’t go
you spent all winter buried in the snow
exploring old grass and meeting tree trunks
in spring you’ll thaw and maybe then
you’ll scream, you’ll just start singin
oh oh oh
i hurt you so
i’m sorry though
i’m sorry pls come home

empty pillow cases
cardboard boxes sealed up
find me in the bottom
of yr heart at night
and we try
to move on
but there’s clothes all over the floor
things falling out drawers
i can’t take this any more
there’s stacks of books door to door
sleep until 2 or 3
hide from every question
stare at screens for hours
sit in the bath for hours
and we try
to move on
but there’s a part you took away
our edges started to fray
my chest still remembers the day
when you just had to say
goodbye

wake me up
in the morning light
with your face in my face
but i don’t mind
fall asleep
at the foot of my bed
in the middle of night
i know you’ll curl up close
you sleep all day
while i work
away
and when i’m done
we will walk
just you and me
in the car
driving to the beach
yr scared of the waves
but i can’t stay away
car again
and it’s down the coast
there won’t be any snow
for us this winter dear
run away
leave me in tears
lost in the woods
callin out your name
come on back
eventually
blood on your coat
but no worse for wear
you sleep all day
while i work
away
and when i’m done
we will walk
just you and me

rain pounding the windshield
driving hoooome
all alone
rain pounding the windshield
my heart races
my palms sweat
i can’t forget
the last time i felt this
i was all alone in bed
with that weight on my chest
just get home
yr almost home
breathe in slow
yr almost home
don’t pull over
just go slower
breathe in slow
yr almost home
now i’m all alone in bed
the same weight on my chest
let it blend into the sheets
let yrself find some sleep
rain pounding the windshield

bird heart

lose your lucky penny
throw out the dried flowers
put the boxes in the back corner of your closet
scrub clean your little bird heart
these are big bright strange and golden days
sleep alone and don’t sleep lonely
take up all yr space
let your stoney belly soften and ache for a while
sneak honey often
walk out into the ocean
keep yourself warm with all the seeds in your pocket
scrub clean your little bird heart
these are big bright strange and golden days

live in my house
drink all my coffee
we’ll stay together
long after you stop loving me
and it will be just fine
sleep in my bed
push yr back up against mine
hog the covers to yr side
i guess i don’t mind
cause it will be just fine
swim in my pond
without me, havin fun
dry off on the lawn
fall asleep in the warm sun
you will be just fine
what a shame to see myself just fade away
what a shame to let you treat me this way
what a shame to watch my goodness slip away
what a shame
leave me alone
as if i wasn’t all this time
you left long ago
but yr body got stuck behind
it was never just fine
but it will be just fine
i live in my house
i drink my own coffee
i sleep in my bed
and try not to get too lonely
i swim in my pond
do laps around the lilies
i will be just fine

don’t leave me hangin
sleep in with me
every weekend
leave yr boots at the door
you won’t need them anymore
cause we’re stayin in
hiding from the rain
hiding from all the bad things in yr brain
we’re stayin in
and if the sun does come out
peekin from behind the clouds
we’re not stayin in
we’re goin for a swim
don’t leave me hangin
sleep in with me
every weekend
