Doesn’t it make you wonder why?
Watching all those bodies float up into the sky
Dancing around like dragonflies
Touching everything except for you
Doesn’t it make you feel so sad?
Packing all your things into a brown paper bag
Leaving California with your heart in two
Gloria your lights still shining through
Everybody falls on hard times, no need to remind
Everybody knows that fine line, no excuses needed
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Gloria I’ll meet you down the road

Good Graces

When the ball dropped I was in the air
On a flight back to New York
Though the moment escaped me
I still got the vertigo
You never see it coming
Never feel it till it knocks you out
Isn't it so easy to say
The signs all pointed one way
But am I deluded in thinking
Things could've gone different
Retracing a year so concise and so clear
We were slow to begin but I didn't want it to end at all
So are we dealing in honesty
Or hiding behind old habits?
Losing sight of the line between
Our privacy and our secrets
I've been changing
Faster than I can say
With only your good graces
To light the way
Let's complete the dialogue
No matter where it leads
Every word you say is sacred
As it surfaces to meet me
From somewhere far away
Casting shadows, saving face
So are we dealing in honesty
Or hiding behind old habits?
Losing sight of the line between
Our privacy and our secrets
I've been changing
Faster than I can say
With only your good graces
To light the way

I love it when you break character
And cast a smile from far behind
The shoulders of a dozen kinds
Cursing at monogamy
The dramatic irony
I love it when you break character
I love it when you break character
The silence in between, so still
Comes slipping through the cracks until
You know I know how much it shows
Delicious laughter overflows
I love it when you break character
I love it when you break character
For me
It keeps me coming back to you
Though I can tell you'll break me too
I love it when you break character
I love it when you break character
I love it when you break character
For me

Cherry Blossoms

Cherry blossom leaves are falling
It’s been weeks since I last saw you
It’s felt like one long day
What has survived the winter?
Oh I wish I knew the answer
Or even the right thing to say
Beneath the pink parade
You speak to me so slowly
Disclosing worlds unseen
And uninhabited
If you were better at saying what you mean
Or if I was more patient
If all the songs were true
These leaves are so immediate
Speaking for themselves
We struggle
We need each other’s help

Without Reserve

Without reserve I like you
Knowing it might hurt I want you
Half your face smiling at me
Sizing me up, what this could be
Without reserve I like you
Knowing it might hurt I want you
Half your face smiling at me
Sizing me up, what this could be
In these moments I would tell you anything
Your hair upon the pillow
Oh these simple these precious things
Without reserve I like you
Knowing it might hurt I want you
Half your face smiling at me
Sizing me up
What this could be

Lie with me silently
For a morning or a century
Everybody else has gone away
Where the lullwater runs aground
In the shadow of a thundercloud
Close your eyes and align north-south
Listen to the wind blow a welcome song
Oh I’ve been alone so long
Everybody else has done me wrong
Now I don’t trust anyone
(I just thought you’d be calling back about now, somehow)
I came up empty every time I tried
To call out from under the spotlight
Now there’s nothing left for me to hide
I am empty empty empty empty
Spend most of every waking day waiting for the phone to ring
You said something that you didn’t mean
When you told me you would always be there for me
And you said you’d be calling back about now, somehow
And you would speak to me quietly
With your voice like the falling leaves
Like waking from the longest dream
And you would ride on the whistling wind
Blow down the door, let me in
But when I heard that voice again it said it said it said
I came up empty every time I tried
To call out from under the spotlight
Now there’s nothing left for me to hide
I am empty empty empty empty
Spend most of every waking day waiting for the phone to ring
You turned trust into a violent thing
When you told me you would always be there for me
I just thought you’d be calling back about now, somehow
I just thought you’d be calling back about now

In the Dark

Caving in
Sit back and let the record spin
Sit back and let refractions glimmer
Over everything
I’m calling out
In all my open fear and doubt
Sit back and let the lights grow dimmer
In and out of time
Oh and was it a lie?
Needing days alone
Needing nights apart
No one gets to know
No one gets to see
What we do in the dark
What we lose to each other
If you’re so sure this is what you wanted
This is all you want and nothing more
If you’re so sure keep me on the need to
Keep me on the need to know
Hard to realize that everything we do
Do you realize that everything we do
We’re doing for ourselves
How do you know when
You’re at the beginning or the end?
In every direction infinity mirror
Where do you go when
You feel the vibrations in your skin
And you know one thing so clearly?
Hard to realize that everything we lose
Do you realize that everything we lose
We’re losing for all time

Hold me your own
Hold me your own (time)
Hold me your own
Hold me your own (time)
Call me again
Call me a name
Hold me your own
Hold me your own (time)
Hold me your own
Hold me your own (time)
Hold me your own
Hold me your own (time)
(Do something that you want to)
Call me again
Call me a name
Hold me your own
Hold me your own (time)
I've been leaving everyone
Hoping to come back
Calendars and boxes
Never to come back

Smoothie Sipping

She found the nail polish in a parking lot
Under pool lights we sat painting
Driving the streets of his old home
We were smoothie sipping in a nighttime gas station
Moments that I will forget make me feel infinite
Make me feel infinite
Bowls of midnight cereal
Spending hours eating pasta on the floor
As I leave I hear drowsy good mornings
Like a chorus from behind closed doors
Moments that I will forget make me feel infinite
Make me feel infinite
Moments that I will forget make me feel infinite
Make me feel infinite
With our feet on the asphalt we knew the end was about to come
Oh the things you can’t ask for, how could you ask for, after it's done
Moments that I will forget make me feel infinite
Make me feel infinite
Moments that I will forget make me feel infinite
Make me feel infinite
Moments that I will forget make me feel infinite
Make me feel infinite
Moments that I will forget make me feel infinite
Make me feel
