Can't Go Back

My love can we stay in, can we lay in bed today the world is gray
My love I got nothing fool’s rush in while we watch the world burn down
Girl, we’ll embrace while empires fall here under these Jackson Pollock sheets
We can’t go back to the way we were before
My love have you heard yet little bird said the wall went up
My love necessary ‘cause they’re scary and we’re tough
Girl, we’ll embrace while empires fall here under these Jackson Pollock sheets
We can’t go back to the way we were before
My love it’s a Lost Cause and they won’t pause but the monuments will fall
My love be patient annihilation could be near
Girl, we’ll embrace while empires fall here under these Jackson Pollock sheets
We can’t go back to the way we were before

Papercut

On my way, where I'm going isn't clear today
I'm ok all the baggage weighs me down I'm afraid
My life's clay my head is weary but I'm hoping to change
You better take this up with your friends
I hear they're talking smack again
Behind my back again
I own the fact that I misled you
Everything I bet you
Was lost
Now the lies infect you
I never wanna be the paper cut and salty wound
Time to bounce
On my way, where I'm going isn't clear today
I'm ok, all the baggage weighs me down I'm afraid
My life's clay my head is weary but I'm hoping to change
I met you playing in the garden
Knew you were a martyr
A serial broken hearter
When I said I wasn't gonna do this
And you promised me
You wouldn't let it happen again
On my way, where I'm going isn't clear today
I'm ok, all the baggage weighs me down I'm afraid
My life's clay my head is weary but I'm hoping to change
The truth will set you free or hang you high
Cardinal sins or capital crimes
I never wanna be the paper cut and salty wound
Time to bounce

Ghosted

You were lucky you got out when you did
I wasn't so fortunate
You couldn't match my sentimentality: compliments were never easy for you, giving or receiving
I've been ghosted
You said you'd keep me posted
Suspended and spit-roasted
Permanent waiting room guest-hosted
I've been ghosted
I'm a profligate spender when it comes to affection
I should be a miser for my own protection
If I knew it was the last kiss I would have worked a little harder
Now I have to choke all the life out of my ardor
I've been ghosted
You said you'd keep me posted
Suspended and spit-roasted
Permanent waiting room guest-hosted
I've been ghosted
Oh, love, what have you done?
You gave me more than anyone
Why can't you take away my pain too?
I'm always good at the coming part, not so good at leaving
My heart is still pumping but I'm not (barely) breathing
You were Anaïs girl
But you had sharp edges
I gracefully bowed out at the party 'cause of one of your exes
I've been ghosted
You said you'd keep me posted
Suspended and spit-roasted
Permanent waiting room guest-hosted
I've been ghosted

Delaware Water Gap

It’s my informed opinion that we spend too much time
Lookin’ for another person to be a perfect rhyme
In this song and dance, we dream alone and wait with bated breath
For a literary love and a cinematic death (repeat)
It was a rarified June evening when I first met that girl
She was dancing at the Volstead all eyes were on her
I drank my liquid courage put a steady on my stride
If I failed to charm her well, at least I know I tried (repeat)
I asked her who she was and she smiled and she demurred
“You’ve read about me in the papers, believe all that you heard.”
I joked and she’d slayed many she captured in her trap
She laughed and said “you’ll find them in the Del’ware Water Gap” (repeat)—intro
I said, “Let’s go to your place.” She said “I’m just passing through.
But my car’s around the corner if that’s alright with you.”
I asked for her name and she took too long to say,
“It’s the dead of winter, but you can call me May.” (repeat)
We drove through that ridge of mountains that spilled into
The Delaware Water Gap, we just talked the whole we through
About life and love and loss and the places that we knew
Then she saw lights flashing in her rearview (repeat)
May pulled the car over…it was a routine traffic stop
Officer said, “Ma’am, looks like your light’s out.”
Cop he took her license came back and said “hands up”
He went around the back that’s when he found me in the trunk—intro
(repeat)
She made a sudden grab for a gun under the seat
She flung around and shot the cop, he folded in the street
She put him in the trunk and I had company
Drove to the Del’ware Water Gap and heaved us in the reeds (repeat)
It’s my informed opinion that we spend too much time
Lookin’ for another person to be a perfect rhyme
In this song and dance, we dream alone and wait with bated breath
For a literary love and a cinematic death (repeat)—intro

Missed You More Than Air
03:35
|

I really liked myself without you but I missed you more than air
and I finally learned how to stand alone in an inhospitable place
even at my best, I missed your face
You were always there you never really left
I was on your mind as much as you were on mine
but If you never would have left, I never would have changed
(repeat)
All our old friends seem to be scarce when things got bad its true
but I don’t hold it against them we’re all just trying to get through
You were always there you never really left
I was on your mind as much as you were on mine
but If you never would have left, I never would have changed
(repeat)
When I watched you live your life from afar you seemed invincible
w\ere you also hoping I could come back again
You were always there you never really left
I was on your mind as much as you were on mine
but If you never would have left, I never would have changed
(repeat)
I really liked myself without you but I missed you more than air

Wide Open Place

Will you find happiness
Buried deep in a book
Erudite and so polite with your
Come-hither looks
Will you find me in mind
And a spring in your step
Take me down and show me around
To where your secrets are kept
Just remember our stars are the same
Swimming blindly in space
Just remember, arrive with your hope and your heart
Is a wide-open place
Time unwinds like a predictable crime
And the months and the years slip away
Last time you called you said it all
When you had nothing to say
Back in your old cul-de-sac
You’ll groom whoever you get
Safe and sound, you’ll settle down
And rue the day that we met
Just remember our stars are the same
Swimming blindly in space
Just remember, arrive with your hope and your heart
Is a wide-open place
So bright and small
Hope conquers all
There’s an art to a lonesome heart
And it hangs in your room
Far too flung is where you’re from, will I
See you there soon?
Will you find me in mind
And a smile on your face
Or pass me around like a thrift-store crown
The one you’ll never replace
Just remember our stars are the same
Swimming blindly in space
Just remember, arrive with your hope and your heart
Is a wide-open place,
wide-open place, a wide-open place
