.. Life ..

Your Taste Is My Attention: So I know nothing of your taste and now speak up, lover. It’s in your lips, I found. Come on, just press against me. I finally have your attention, so listen closer, sweetheart. I’ve been trying to tell you, stay awake. And no, no, when we’re safe here. Come back, come back, you stayed always. Stay with me here. Stay with me and watch these cars go by, and tell me the first thing that comes to your mind. So watch as I go back. I just came to say that you’ll never see me again. This clock is ours now, till morning. So stay right there in that frame. This picture is how we speak. You’ll never see me again, cause I miss you already. And bear that you haven’t seen me. I don’t belong in anything you dream, in anything we dream. She said “Put your hands back on my skin and say you loved me, cause I can’t live like you do. Never could.” Come back on the weekend forever cause you don’t mean to shake that way. Stay with me and I will try to tell you.

It’s in your blood: I can’t stay over you. It seems we drive forever but can never get away from here, just one more try. I’m guessing you are over me, I guess it’s bravery. Well cause it’s black out the window while you sleep in the passenger seat. It’s gone. Oh when it’s always on your mind but you never speak of the name. It’s in your blood and face and I’m certain it’s fame. So I stayed out in the car cause the weather had gotten to me. But its really these road signs and freeways that I can’t take. This can’t be how you live. It’s like a ball and chain around your waist or this simple state. Your mind’s sick again. I’m tasting nothing but 4 words, “please don’t leave me”. And it’s dark in the winter so your ideas start to sleep. Well your head is spinning like that carousel, and I know you’re a mess after 3 or 4. But if you make it different then we’ll make our way to the surface,
and your favorite place. Where we sit, and we breath cause I know all the words and I sing you everything. Well they’re just thoughts so go ahead and speak. So pick out what you like and call me when you’re on the way. You can spend the night and hope to sleep all day. For me its just another week, twenty eight was once how I dreamed. And with your scent on my face I can leave and have you for days. I still can’t see you. The summer came and we got lost, all of us. You are nothing with out her. I still wont remember your face, the features mix too well with this alcohol. So we cover ourselves in your fear, and stay to watch that moon disappear under these lights. And the city, and the city screamed at me. And as you breathe the words I better go. The sun is up and taking back all the shadows that covered this ground, and our feet, like a blanket of coal.

Always Move Fast: Can we take the streets? Because there’s a horrible crash. Standing on the highway, a girl and her dad. You say yeah, it’s far too much for me, far too fast of scenery but your voice, and your lips are moving words that I cannot breach the noise. Just remember always move fast. We know you, we own you. Go home and leave me at the door or we can stay outside of your house and just wait for the morning. I heard you can’t stay too long the mornings got you worried. Because the sun holds a sea of troubles and an early drive away. So I guess I’ll just stay for a while I guess you knew just from how I smiled. Because there’s no hurry more like fucking nursery or a beautiful trail. I’ve seen your sadness grow and it swallows these days until it hurts to breathe. She whispers, thanks for your time tonight, but you are not awake yet, you are not awake I swear. She screams, it’s all been in your dream with nothing tangible. The girl, this house, the highway, your mind made it real. Just remember always move fast.

A Camera Lens And Careful Days: It’s always blue and black or breaking skin, Well, cover up, girl, we’ll finally leave again. And you breathe me in so well, in your room under the cover of this night. We are safe; we are, as long as you whisper. But my eye was caught by your picture. That’s hanging from your mirror, like something you forgot. I’ll say we couldn’t sleep just staring at the clock. But when numbers seem to blur and the reflection is lost, anything is love as you stare into your box. So now we’re used to the rain. We can swim and I’ll say we were never worried, because the floods will only bring the coast and Atlantic closer. I thought I told you, girl. I thought that I showed you the reason; All I truly want is to get in your head and steal your imagery. So we can both go to your second story house. You would never believe this snow. It gets so heavy on our lungs. But it’s been creeping up your walls and closing down the roads. But I swear I’m loving while. I swear I still will hide away from the cold. ”I think that for me, everyday would be the last day of summer. Or I’d be left out in the cold, with no place to go. Because, there are very few people that I can relate to to every day of my life, forever, that will understand me. Because I’ve gone places where very few people ever go. I mean, I played the ultimate gamble of all; I gambled my life.” “You’re fine, go back to work and we’ll let you know when she comes.” I swear we’re almost there and we’ll be safe inside. Down those stairs to your room where I could stay for days. Substance is over us, please don’t do this. ‘Cause this may never change, oh, but I’m still here, here. It’s all the same.

This Is Twice Now: Baby just ask once more. ‘Cause I saw your door wide open,
but the floor is still freezing. Hailey, I was sick and I’m still quite unwell. Tell me it’s you or nothing at all. ‘Cause I stole your soul. You said I’d never be able. But oh, the whole world is still on my string. Second time now and you’ve done this before. Drive around the back so I can’t see them, but you’re still freezing. Let me take your coat and your keys and this car. ‘Cause I’ve been unwell far too long now. It’s never much when I sing about you.

I Woke Up Near The Sea: So it’s another night in my brain, cause I can’t sleep. And oh, it wears on your shoulders. Just please don’t ever leave me here, don’t ever leave me, don’t you leave! Start out like a sailor and bring back all you need. So everyone else can try and get some sleep. It turns out you were into yourself. It turns out you could finf your way out. Just once more for my baby girl. And so I woke up near the sea, sand in my dreams. You are already falling back in love with me. Just fall back in love, yeah. Just fall back in love. It’s just the season on your back. It’s just the way we know to act. And no one ever knew…

Now The One You Once Loved Is Leaving: Tell me how I finally figured it out, that now you’re caught in the things you said you’d never do. And now its starting to show. Like her skin fell out out of her clothes, she’s got a list of moves to make. Stay for me, because it was the first. Yeah it was me.. Stay on me. Take your time lighting the room. When all is said and done, I bet you’re covering. Is it a wonder you’re lonely, taking chances to feel again. I bet you never knew, I bet you never. Suddenly, a cloud must have cut a hole in my head, when i was tangled all in your words. How quick to forget, we are, with eyes unimpressed, you’re sealing the conversations. And are you wondering how things could be? Just staring at the surface, when all the walls have tendencies. But it’s not your fault when no one taught you how. And now the one you once loved is leaving. You’re so sure that I’d be just fine here. But you were surely just taking your own time dear.
