I’ll know you by your shape
so please dont forget my face
and i’ll recall you to this place
like i’ve marked the spot with tape
We’ll talk for hours about good news
the proper flow of information
And you’ll be warm and you’ll be patient
We’ll watch the clouds clear up
When the sun goes down
and see the high grass grow
And cover the whole town
Our home out here gets cold at night
But should I ever push too far
it will return us to where we are
And the clouds clear up
When the sun goes down
And when our paychecks all go through
We’ll cover the whole town

saw you at the octagon
saw you along the grey side-wall
you wore the sun like a cover-up
you wore the sky like overalls
saw you in a motor home
saw you put up on cinder
damp walls, piles of packing foam
pinecones, dead since the winter
you set ablaze the room with what you planned to be
i swore I’d tell no one the things that you told me
saw you back in the summertime
saw you lit up by sparklers
we were singing Sweet Caroline
we danced between all the parked cars
saw you just a week ago
saw you after a few years
all eyes adjust everywhere you go
you look like you don’t belong here

into the sun

giving in to the sun
sun on your hands
perfect and golden
living into the sun
sun on your eyes
on your side
ooooh

Someday the moon will start retreating
and the California coast will erode away
and all the video stores that went out of business
will live the holy age of the rose parade
I just want to hear you breathing one more time
I just want you here to stay
Who can say if the moonlight is receding
if not the friends you made when you rode away
but there are no full stops or seasons greetings
just the hole you made when you rode away
I just want to hear you breathing one more time
I just want you here to stay
It’s a phrase that ain’t often worth repeating
but the things I love always go away
It’s a phase of the moonlight on the ceiling
when I was running out of the novocaine

with the pain and guilt
01:33
|

were we ever living life so high
and it’d never be a pain to die
in the summer of the 2.5
in the spirit of the edelweiss
you were everything i needed
just to get me to the afterlife
we’re forever incompleted
you had freckles underneath your eyes
i’m so stunned
by the passage of time
and the wind and the sea
sharp rain on the orange trees
but we’re staying inside
on the ancient advice
that what is loved will never die

you won’t be ready every time I come around
you’ll choke, and you ain’t got no way home
you ain’t got no way home

I feel like I'm a snowman in the south
I feel like I’ve got cotton in my mouth
And I feel like i’m the only one who knows
But no more
no more
I feel like I’m a piece of shit sometimes
I feel like I only want to die
And I feel like it never ever shows
But no more
no more
no more, no more

there’s a passion in the words behind the laughing
there's a passion that you twisted like a type of local taffy
you held your own heart in your hands once
you held your own heart in your hands once
but that was long ago when you were young
and until the day you die, you’ll drink your almond milk and say,
through the spittle on your teeth and through gritty bits of clay:
“There’s an ancient art to sweet self-loathing.
There’s an ancient art to sweet self-loathing.
And someday, when I learn to fall asleep, I’ll fall asleep."
