Down on your back
All of your secrets collide You rise and shine Lost in your world Just killing time Nobody knows The gift gets so lost behind the lies Get to the point Before you die Light coming down to the ground Time doesn't hold up It gets folded in your eyes That's why you try To write through the day and all the night Crushed by the joy that seeps from this site that pulls you in You try again Light coming down to the ground |

There's a bird on the land
There's a bird on the bay There's a sun in the sky But it won't go away And the clock on the wall says remember All that you've said Don't think of the dangers you could have avoided If only he'd stayed Oh, this water is making my death Every season stealing my man from my bed And if this winter should carry him through to the next All I can offer is yours to take Keep me from cold Keep me from foolish mistakes Make me a woman whose love knows how to wait As the fist on my pillow beats down in a midnight rage Let the wind in his sails carry him back to the bay |

what is this weariness that waits for you shrug
you press your ankle against my arm this is the pressure that i love you always recommended it could be the door could be the phone for any intent or purpose your not home your up against the wall no real impression like breath on glass ive got the apple in me too people are bluer then they ever imagined they might be looking through the boxes in the basement who were you then your restlessness is emptier then the room we used to live in here's wishing you the best the rest is always better left unsaid |

I could watch you sleep for hours
Without noticing that it's getting really late But last night i just wanted to wake you up Hear the city hum underneath the pink moonlight Well i drove all night to see you And i beat the sun, but not by very much The radiator was hissing in the kitchen We sat on the fire escape your hand was in mine |

Like glass shattering in a clean break
This is the art of a mistake And we were like kids with a shotgun Blowing up words till there were none And maybe i'm too young I thought that i could destroy it Aimed shot and fired Missed the target But you keep coming abck Hand me fractured words through the lens of time And some things cant be burned Even when they yurn to die |

After you gave up on the world
For the first time I understood Your words were as good to me as gold But it's all getting old already I care about what you see Even though you try to take the best of me apart And punish me for trying I watched you hit the ground With the luckiest smile around With your stupid guile and your chain I couldn't have missed you hailing cabs in the rain I care about what you see Even though you try to take the best of me apart And punish me trying Everyday the nausea hits you You face the mirror Wonder if you'll ever get out of here We'll never get past the past Staring a hole through the bottom of a dirty shot glass I listen well to your rage And search your face for a spark For something shimmering in the dark |

On slow days
Thoughts free to wander Over to West Hurley And down past Ashokan The reservoir And Georgia waving from the back of a car She holds your hand She holds it so tightly She digs in her fingernails And later that night, she whispers a name She says it aloud for the last time Cutting that milkweed Bending down low in her navy blue dress I'll never know which one I resemble the best Oh, Georgia, you have been missed The light from the moon It falls on the Hudson And your mind is back in 1907 The reservoir And Georgia waving from the back of a car |

Did we give away too much or was it right?
I just wanna go back home and hold you tight I can't face another crowd and feel this way Oh no, oh no I'm falling into every little trap that I can find Reading too much into every single sign I can't face you with the others all around Oh no, oh no I need some time to breathe I can't fix what's wrong Well the world I see is only two lanes wide From this midnight van to Georgia that we ride And the toll booths become markers of the time Oh no, oh no We come and go so fast Looking for what lasts |

Always more than I can catch inside this jar
Lighting up the night sky Flicker in your eye Ladybugs crawl across your hand In plain sight, broad daylight I don't mind But in the dark Invisible and beautiful Then gone again When you've forgotten them They're back again On and off On and off On and off Only a fool tries to follow the light of a firefly |

Don't do it again
Don't lose your head too quickly You could pick up the phone Don't leave me all alone I won't look for the worst Before i've even heard what you're trying to say But words just get in the way I know that it's late We're much too tired to make sense But i'll hold you up Will you hold me up |

Don't get sad on me
Don't get sad on me I may not have a lot of comfort to spare But i hear you I hear you Put on your coat and your hat and your gloves And go walking Take one hand out of your glove on the street When you're walking Look straight ahead Don't turn around when you're walking nothing can hurt you now Don't turn around when you're walking away Your love isn't gone Its just moved on Its inside you now It feels so heavy Your love isnt gone Its just moved on Its inside you now You'll find it somehow |
