- Track Name: Ship to Sail
-
Skate slipping up a hill
Dark streaks on my rayon jacket
Curb crushing afraid of nothing
I loved biology
but I let your present throw me
Crestfallen, unwrapping paper
I've got a ship to sail
and I don't need anyone on it
'cuz my forte's to fail
and I don't want anyone with me
Help me Saint Christopher
Sense direction, destination
Which way I'm pointing
You only pay once for your mistakes - Track Name: Always on the Invite
-
A feather that's looking for fruit
Found an empty sketch book
Can I do anything
but struggling and settling?
From your outstretched arms it was clear
That you could use a volunteer
Despite what you might have heard
Brunette's too strong a word
If love could shrink down everything
All we need are two cans and some string
A shell but I think it suits me
Hold me close and you can hear the sea
Are you good at everything you tried
But you never really specialized
You're book smart, and street smart
and always on the invite - Track Name: Claddha and the Stopped Clock
-
The stopped clock told me it was time
It doesn't work
This old house with sagging glass
The yard looks better
but this pane knows old frames
I want to see better
I want to see what's holding us together
We'll go to the park one day
You'll slide and I'll thrive
I thought you would run away
but you turned your ring around
Into the night I fell all the way
Even the stopped clock was right about you - Track Name: Seacliff
-
There are times I'd like to withdraw from Sundays
Your crying, a train whistle, crawling through the cracks of my window
I discovered banks don't care where you grew up
No one's saving this coast for its native stock
Once this state is fully owned by those who can pay to call it home
I wonder who and what you'll be
I wonder where we'll get to swim
I guess we'll fall off a cliff
just to swim in the ocean
I want my flesh to flow over my bones just like water
over rocks in a river - Track Name: Swell Song
-
Did you miss me
Your bottle of your worst champagne
didn't hear a word I said
I thought you would answer this time
I thought you were saving your Sunday minutes for your only son
When you were visiting me
You said, "its a cold," but you're lonely
You didn't bring Judy
I need you to find out when this is over
Why the hell did you wait so long
I wanted to mail you the weapons I borrowed
'Cuz right now you can have them back
You waited so long
You think you know about chemistry
You broke your promise to me
It doesn't matter what you say
You're broken - Track Name: Detangling
-
Askew and knotted up
And its been that way since I got it
I can't tell you since when I forgot it
I dissociate and paralyze
Detangling is hard
When you don't give yourself time to do it
It's not something you need to intuit
If you can sit still, you're half way there
And if you see my snags
Ration the silk from my bailout
Draw in the seam
It will all be okay next time I get paid
But I concentrate like a humming bird out our window
I can't stay in place I just go, go
In fervent intermittent bursts
But I found out that life's about paying attention
To exactly and just what you are doing
Not what you've done or what you've yet to do - Track Name: The Location of All Things
-
I keep my eyes focused on the ground
So I can count the steps to your house
You fill my heart not break it
And sometimes I can't even sing
Won't you let me give back to you
What you made in me?
For all kinds of reasons
We write down the very last dream
And I will never have a friend with your name
And I'll never have my one perfect thing
Very soon, the promise becomes another world
a sworn apology
The location of all things - Track Name: Time to Breathe
-
How can you love the world?
Now its time to breathe
Now its time to break
Maybe I should have worn a tie
It wouldn't bring you back
Maybe I should have been a better friend
And wrapped you in the American flag - Track Name: This Cliff Kills
-
If this cliff kills
how could I survive
For a steep climb, twenty-nine is a long time
And if you keep score
Pay attention to the part when they sing
"and many more"
Don't you want to leave this place
Speeding passed a complicated case
Don't you want to finish what's in play
Breaking down those idols
If you look through books
to see what you can become
Unless you taste it
The recipe was the wrong one
I was proud of you because you didn't quit
You were wishing you could be an average kid
Your roommate said that they looked good there
The flowers that I bought you wound up drying on the mantle
Non-plussed, but romanced by the boy who couldn't dance
But you will be repaid
Catch me slipping into the crowd around aroud
A souvenir I could hang on the wall
It was the longest day of the shortest month
If we could only fix time
Then you would be the love of mine
