ASTRONAUT
I’ve been living in this spacesuit
And you’re the earth on the rise
With forever between us
I’m still in orbit around your smile
Is it true am I still living with this
Unforgiving part of myself
Says I should never have turned away
I’m scared that as I circle the sky
I just might find
The open door I’ve longed all along to see
It’s impossible to comprehend
How it’s possible
That in every ending you and I
Meet again
Bouncing off these stars
Are thoughts and words and actions
And everything in between
All these papier-mâché feelings
Sometimes I sit back and I laugh at myself
‘Cause I know this life
It’s just as strange as it seems
Sometimes it’s so cold in this spacesuit
Sometimes I just float in the dark
I say Hey sun can you heal me
Sun can you shield me
Sun won’t you fill me with hope
Hey sun won’t you fill me
It’s impossible to comprehend
How it’s possible
That in every ending you and I
Meet again
Why so far away?
Why so far away?

AZURE
A little further to you, Azure
I’ve got to show you how you matter
I won’t wait anymore
You are sunken and beautiful
Sunken and beautiful
Come up
She thinks
“Someday, somewhere away
I’ll be right by me
Laugh so hard, laugh till nothing’s heavy
But for now I’ll stay
Down here you move too fast it’s deadly”
There below the breeze
I know everything’s beautiful
But I’m here
Be here
I circle round and round until dawn
The water goes still
You must be just there
Come up
So I’m home
It’s all lit up in lanterns
Letters come back
And all the maps
Scattered
I won’t wait anymore
Out there you are
Sunken and beautiful
What’s it all for?
I could’ve sworn you were lost
Now I’m not sure
I’m here
Be here
Not out in the azure

THESE EASY NIGHTS
When we break up
It’s like we’re never going
Anywhere at all
You come to make up
You’re smiling and your eyes are fire
From the middle of a star
So I stay in your video for now
The one with you and me
Our futures all pan out
These easy nights
I could get used to your hands in mine
These easy nights
With you
Turn your face on
The one that loves me more than
All your older loves
Make ‘em jealous
‘Cause we’re in heaven
They’re just easy forgets
You say it’s time for doubts to come true
Or it’s time to give up leaving you
These easy nights
I could get used to your hands in mine
These easy nights
Are better than all that came before
These easy nights
With you
Come on wake up
Don’t wanna miss our time
Awake out in the world
Where hearts are breaking
Mine is working hard
Working into you
Stay in my video for now
Let’s just hit play
We’ll make it all work out
These easy nights
I could get used to your hands in mine
These easy nights
Are better than all that came before
These easy nights
With you

AHEAD
Some water to my girl
She runs outside
To the dust, to the world
No look behind, I…
Try to follow as things grow
Feel older when she is free
It’s not to keep up but to know
She’s perfectly ahead of me
Spilling over as she goes
They all run to see her
‘Cause she’ll leave
But for now
So happy she’s come by
Try to follow as things grow
Feel older now she is free
It’s not to keep up but to know
She’s perfectly ahead of me
Hey, where ya goin’?
Where ya goin’?
And what did you know all along?
Hear about her, it’s been years
She passes through and they say
It’s like lifetimes to live
So long
So sweetly
She moves on
Try to follow as things grow
It’s not to keep up, well I know
Feel older and she is free
She’s perfectly ahead of me

Come By

COME BY
By candlelight we tell stories
Flowers, hearts, and stones
On the radio our favorite voices
Every night it’s you
I say come by, I wait
Look up the night’s a different place
Here I lie, the porch feels old
Till morning’s lonely on my face
Collect your toys in my room
All our noises
In the walls come through
Every word I wanna say
You put behind you
I say come by, I wait
Look up the night’s a different place
Here I lie, the porch feels old
Till morning’s lonely on my face
Just don’t try too hard
To find a place for me in there
Know your blood goes cold
When morning toes
Can’t feel your own bed
Just sleep we’ll be better
And we’re so long together
I’m slow to remember
So it’s all in letters by the fire
I am alright if it’s you
See my best side smiling through
Let the world fly by
All alight if it’s you
All alight if it’s you
I say come by, I wait
Look up the night’s a different place
Here I lie, the porch feels old
Till morning’s lonely on my face
Just don’t try too hard
To find a place for me in there
Know your blood goes cold
When morning toes
Can’t feel your own bed
Train’s on time
But all the windows show
The same damn face
Walked the rails for years
Now I can feel the distance always

CLAY
I awoke all dreamy-eyed
Then glued to you
Swear no oak or bone ever so grew
Just there I was
In our finest hour
Strawberry patches
Cheeks so red with touches
Indebted to the scene
Aloud, you and me, we give way
To the tune created
And to the way
Some light hints at then shines
Only on this skin
To all we begin
I thought of leaving this
Then frightened open eyes
Might not find you
All cuddled and near
I’m way beyond the noise
And it’s all clear
I’m breathing you in here
So slowly
On a fall afternoon
And now I give way
To the tune created
And to the way
Some light hints at then shines
Only on this skin
To all we begin
Maybe it’s this way
Throw a heart out to the ocean
It’ll come back okay
Till then we sit and wait
For these things that keep the distance
To settle into clay
I awoke all dreamy-eyed
Then glued to you
Swear no oak or bone ever so grew
Maybe it’s this way
Throw a heart out to the ocean
It’ll come back okay
Till then we sit and wait
For these things that keep the distance
To settle into clay
Alone today
I find myself
Alone today
You went away
Left me by myself
Alone today

Bring You Round

BRING YOU ROUND
Hey love, is that you in the parking lot?
I wave and I watch you get into her car
In the back seat
A blanket and a pillow
A quick look out the window
And I’m after you, I’m after you
Keeping a distance
I’m close but out of view
Kind of like we are racing
Know I could win but I let you
Wish we could stop moving
There’s so much to tell you
You say I’m wasting
I’m wasting my time
Oh I will bring you round
Bring you round
Think you’ve been waiting
So long for some light
You miss it when it’s not even hiding
Then her car stops
She tells you “Choose, you in or not?”
I think “Hey, come on, come on
Just one step out
Then we’re driving till the lines are deep In our skin
And all this running we’ll smile about it
You can only run to me”
Chorus
Chorus
I will bring you round, bring you round
I will bring you round

SO TIRED (FEAT. NICK VOTE)
I am so tired
The sun will rise
But I won’t see
Through pillows keeping my eyes behind
I am so tired
They’ll draw my eyes
For bedtime stories
Like ships at sea
But you will bring your candles still
And burn your way through
I am so tired
We only climb
To such a height
Before we sink into sleep
I am so tired
I can’t say why
Life and me
Don’t get on easy and kind
But you will bring your candles still
And burn your way through
Burn your way through
I am so tired
I wanna find
Perfectly
Someone dreaming with me
Perfectly
Someone dreaming with me

Venice

VENICE
Memory paints us together on a bench
Lamplight, sipping wine, touching hands
Vienna’s still a day away
But in Venice we’re acrylic confluence
A vacation from a vacation
I’m near the end
To go with you I’m a changed man
To stay here by the water I’m lost again
So I wait on over by the plane
Picturing all the ways
You might bump into me
Out here all alone and runway pacing
I want to be allowed to wait for you
Not to keep you just inside a song line
Where I could stay intimate and shaping
The mornings are so strange
Waking up alone
It’s making me slow with my days
I tell myself the distance is just fine
I’m on the plane
Drifting I play with your voice
Hope is pushing these moments into days
Soon you’ll call just to say
Hey, let’s you and me go for a night drive
We’ll work our ways back into each other
If we slip a bit that’s okay
In good time we’ll recover
The mornings are so strange
Waking up alone
It’s making me slow with my days
I tell myself the distance is just fine
Do you ever think you see me
Asleep on my side of the bed
Reach out and finger-trace
The old contours of my head
So forget me, go on please
Forget me, make it easy
I get there step inside
So I guess you really didn’t stop me
I’m away, in a way always packing
Settle in a bit already letters written “Old friend, I’m in the middle of new. Head still spinning, sky still blue, I’m okay. Cat to calm, neighbors we say a word or two in passing. I miss all of you, my old jigsaw view of you.”
Chorus
So forget me, go on please, forget me
Make it easy, make it easy
Oh in Venice
It’s 4 AM in Venice
I’m alive in Venice
Stagger away from Venice
I’ll make it back someday

Smiles Win

SMILES WIN
Walk up to the bar
Get a drink look over and whoa there’s you
It’s been 20 years
Should I say hello hello hello
Where does the time go?
But no talking
I’m hit with the life we spent together
We were so right
When we were kids
And I wish we were young like then
Watch you try not to grin
But your smiles win
Hey your smiles win
See your smiles win
Oh love
It’s been two days since I saw you
That won’t do
Gotta run next door to you
In your room
All our stars were lined up
I tried as I got older
Tried but no one
Knows me like you do
Chorus
All the summers where
Our days were so long
The sun never turned off at all
And the winters
You were my angel in the snow
Laughing
So cold
Still laughing
Now maybe you’re sitting here too
Thinking how it would be
To be there
Young again with me
Maybe memories are all we’ll know
Maybe you’ve moved so far on
Hey baby, hello, hello!
20 years, the pictures we could’ve hung
Let’s not know another without love

Wishes Of You

WISHES OF YOU
I never was better
Than with you near
You’d always see me hiding
No one finds me anymore
Or knows I’m here
I’m looking for a storm to hide my tracks
To turn the pages back
Where I’m the wishes of you
Where I’m the wishes of you
I think to grow
Is like singing in the snow
The quiet of your own voice
As your face gets cold
Chorus
I lay my head in someone’s night
Another pillow in disguise
Touch the window
Still outside
And it’s so snowy
Chorus

Recover

RECOVER
This room so nice
With the bullet holes gets so breezy
This one I like
How the chemicals come so easily
Hang tight while I ink the deal
Signs around me say alright
Looks like black and blue for me
My friend for life
Try tonight for the colder places
Light blue faces with eyes inside
Come to them
‘Cause only they can see me right
Really laughing, bags dragging ‘long
I recover
Through the double vision
Sliding down to someone other
Toes to water
I’m inside her for a while
There’s a comfort there
Here I hide
But my friends will find me if I keep quiet
No use outside
For my savoir-faire
Unaware, I paint and climb
Till I’m looking down
See no people round at all
I recover
Through the tunnel vision
Sliding down to someone other
Toes to water
Thought I’d fall a long long time
There’s a comfort there
There’s a comfort there
From I don’t care
And I’m not running
I’m not running out
Not running out of air
Come my day, come my day
Recover
Through the tunnel vision
Sliding down to someone other
Toes to water
Thought I’d fall a long long time
There’s a comfort there (I recover)

Trying For The Moon

TRYING FOR THE MOON
So warm and sweet
The music filled us
We eased offstage
Into the stillness
We were trying for
Trying for the moon
Through the screen door
I hear the trees
When we were new
You were that breeze
We were trying for
Trying for
Trying for the moon
Others they fill my days like rain
Oh I burn on
They all empty away
We sail West
Disarmed and free
Each other’s light reflecting
We are trying for
We are trying for
Trying for the moon
