Juliet

It's hard to think that once I was sure of myself
On a road map, I was the LA
Down to New York City
Lost in the small scene towns
And you were there as someone who knew the way to go
Follow your voice through trees and calling
"Romeo help me, throw rocks at my window"
Oh, you probably know
That Juliets been going off the wall and
Tiny dancer can't learn the steps at all and
Billie Jean's been smoking self pity by pack
And still I know
That I, I can feel it
I, I can feel it in my bones
I can feel it
I, I can feel it in my bones
Feel it in my bones
that somethings going on below
It's been a year of cancer to the soul
Through yellow sunlit days and hot coals
I found radiation, and it was your name next to mine
And through amnesia, your love crutched me downtown
And in store windows, I saw my face
drowning in the crowd and, Juliet can't save herself
You can probably tell
That mother Mary can't see the star of David
Mona Lisa can't stand another painting
And Josephine can't look at her face the same way
but still I pray
That I, I can feel it
I, I can feel it in my bones
I can feel it
I, I can feel it in my bones
Feel it in my bones
that somethings going on below
And maybe, because it's been so long
I've forgotten, forgotten to sing my song
But it sounded so much better, yours instead of mine
And it was written in all things old and Greek
But how does one not love with every single piece?
How are you gonna write the ending this time
And tomorrows light is on the horizon
Juliet can no longer be blinded by the sun
Did you look for far too long?
Maybe we knew all along
That ballerina couldn't dance on her own and
Venus couldn't sleep well all alone and
Annie didn't see that she laid down all her guns
For only one
But I, I can feel it
I, I can feel it in my bones
I can feel it
I, I can feel it in my bones
Feel it in my bones
that somethings going on below
That somethings going on below
That somethings going on below
I, I feel it in my bones
That somethings going on below

Every Piece of Me

He said that words could not describe
Where the train tracks lead in his mind
And if you follow, them you swallow them
But it was a pill I didn't mind
I didn't mind
You've
Got a way of saying things
It makes my little tin bells ring
And there is steel and iron, heat and fire
But you used it in a grace that rocked me to sleep
Rock me to sleep
And I've seen lighting, I've seen fire
But you look at me, I can see
Why it tears me apart
Right through
Cause I could give you every piece of me
But you'll never know what is peace in you
I never really trust my eyes, my heart
Always tragically seems to be right
Can't you hear it beat, sending frequencies
It's always been a little shy
A little shy
You've
Got a way of making me
Hold no guns, and I'm at peace
And there are hurricanes, and Novocain
But there's nothing like the way
That you numb me
That you numb me
And I've seen lighting, I've seen fire
But you look at me, I can see
Why it tears me apart
Right through
Cause I could give you every piece of me
But you'll never know what is peace in you
When I get lost you said
To close your eyes dear
I'll trace the cord back to your head
I'll always be here
In your chest
Where the rest of me is
And
I've seen lighting, I've seen fire
But you look at me, I can see
Why it tears me apart
Right through
Cause I could could give you every hit in me
But you'll never know how i was hit by you
Cause I could give you every piece of me
But you'll never know what is peace in you

Runaway Kids

I, despite my inclinations
Never thought that it'd be you
It was
The best kind of iteration
And I guess theres more for me
Without you
But don't you worry, I won't forget
I made a promise, or was it a bet
With all the money in
With all the money in
And
You could've shot me
Down on Winter street
And I would've turned myself in
Cause in the grand scheme
It is no mystery
We were just runaway kids
We were just runaway kids
We were just runaways
I, despite my observations
Never found any clues
And I
Don't think that I'll ever know
But if Bonnie left Clyde
He'd try too
And don't you worry
I won't forget
I was honest, but did you pretend?
With all of me in
With all of me in
And
You could've shot me
Down on Winter street
And I would've turned myself in
Cause in the grand scheme
It is no mystery
We were just runaway kids
We were just runaway kids
We were just runaways
And was it our last goodbye?
Don't you know, don't you know I tried?
If only I ever knew
It as all about who had home to get back to
But don't you worry
I won't forget
I made a promise
To never turn to back
With all of me in
With all of me in
And
You could've shot me
Down on Winter street
And I would've turned myself in
Cause in the grand scheme
It is no mystery
We were just runaway kids
We were just runaway kids
We were just runaways
Worry, I won't forget
I made a promise
I made a bet
And don't you worry
I won't forget
I was honest, but did you pretend?
That we were so sure
But all that we were
Was runaways

All My Love

In the morning
When you wake me
I'm sorry baby
If it takes a while for me to open my eyes
But in the daylight
I hope you know I
Would walk through noon's fire
Just to bring the sun at It's knees
And it would sing
To you, with all my love
On my night walks
When I feel lonely
I call to Mary
Even though I'm not sure if she's real
And when I wish I
Wasn't who I am
I will hold your hand
And whisper that I wish I was you
And it will dance
To you, with all my love
All my love, all my love
All my love, it will come and dance to you
All my love, all my love
All my love
Will come to dance to adore you
All my love
All my love
All my love
It will come and dance to you
All my love
All my love
All my love
Will come to dance to adore you

Carved Named Hearts

I thought I'd call you
On your birthday
And I ran around town trying to get you something
But I guess I'm too late
It's okay
If you hate me
I'll learn that love is keeping my distance
Eventually
But
Whose gonna want me around?
Whose gonna call my name, did you call my name?
Whose face will I see in the crowd
Dancing with you, where I used to wait
Dancing with you, where I used to wait
And I always knew there were some faults in our forever
But I always thought through all of it, we'd come out together
Isn't it a little bit twisted
That I'm sad that you're so
Happy?
I thought I'd stop by
Bring you flowers
And we walked these same streets before
For hours and hours
And their still beautiful
Our carved named hearts
Wrote them on every branch until
the trees bled stars
so
Whose gonna want me around?
Whose gonna call my name, did you call my name?
Whose face will I see in the crowd
Dancing with you, where I used to wait
Dancing with you, where I used to wait
Every time I try to let go, I tell myself you're mine
And maybe it's because our love can't go with one goodbye
Isn't it a little bit tragic
That our names
Don't spell out
Together?
So
Whose gonna want me around?
Whose gonna call my name, did you call my name?
Whose name will I see, fresh and gouged
Right next to yours, where mine used to be?
Right next to yours, where mine used to

Heartbreak Season
03:15
|
|||
|
You seem so surprised, that I could be so cold
I see you reaching for me, didn't think I could go
And I know, and I know, and I know
That if it teaches you something
It'll teach you not to fuck with me
I'm gonna dress up nice, go out with my friends
Hang up when you call me, and say you want me back
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you'll pretend to be lonely
When I was not enough when you were with me
I sleep by my window with a view of the city
I got books on my nightstand that I plan on reading
And yes I still own all the things that you gave me
But in time they'll go away
It's heartbreak season
I took the knife out of my back and laid it at your feet
It's heartbreak season
Don't think I walk out of this clean
I'm gonna steal the night, paint my eyelids gold
Go to all the places you were too good to go
And I know, and I know, and I know
That it was just a joke, yeah it's funny
And now you've got an audience too!
I'll become the person you never wanted to see
I'll stop saying sorry, start doing shit for me
And I know, and I know, and I know
That it's gonna hurt me like hell
But sleeping alone's better that your cold sheets
I walk my dogs and I smile at the people
I dance in the shower, and I sing, and I feel
And yes I still read all your letters, they're real
But the words are no longer true
It's heartbreak season
I took the knife out of my back and laid it at your feet
It's heartbreak season
Don't think I walk out of this clean
Now don't you put the blame on me
When it's done, and we're hurt
And the bridges are burned
Now don't you put the blame on me
For walking out, giving myself
What I deserve
It's heartbreak season
I took the knife out of my back and laid it at your feet
It's heartbreak season
Don't think I walk out of this clean

Someday
04:29

Someday, I'll buy you
A house on the sea
And you'll have a view
And I'll have a tree
And I don't know
If the wind will blow
But I hope the limbs won't fall on me
Someday, I'll buy you
A car that runs
From the West coast to Philly
And It plays your favorite song
And I don't know
If I'll be the road when
You are the car
But it was beautiful to hear you sing
It was beautiful to hear you ring
And I was thinking of taking a train to LA
And I don't know if I'll make it, but on my way
I stopped cheating myself
cheat-cheating myself
I can't live with myself, some might say
And I'll wake up every morning
To another
Someday, I'll buy you
Saint James Cathedral
From floor, to ceiling
And no sign of people
And time can't tell
If the little bell
Can ring so much and stay in the steeple
Someday, I'll buy you
A piece of the sky
In every shade of blue
In corners of your mind
And I can't see
When the rain will be
But I hope it doesn't rain too hard
But it was beautiful to see you dance
It was beautiful with every chance
And I was thinking of traveling on my own
Playing for money in the streets of Rome
I stopped losing myself
lose-losing myself
Throw bills at myself
And send them home
And I'll wake up every morning
To another someday
And I can't tell my judgment anymore
But we were once kids just running through side streets
Sitting on my back porch
And we asked questions and
Dreamed of mansions
And things we thought that we could afford
And I thought I would grow up someday
Yeah I knew I would grow up someday
I wish I could pay for all the things I've broken
And lost, and forgotten
Stories I've stolen
And I don't know
If time is slow
Or just too fast for us to know it
But it was beautiful to understand
It was beautiful with every chance
And I was thinking of leaving home
Trying to make something of myself and go
I stopped doubting myself
Doubt, doubting myself
Be proud of myself for living alone
And I'll wake up every morning
To another someday
To another someday
To another someday
To another someday

One Of Them
03:59

For two years I've been running around
Blank space, up late, here me out
I swear, things will get better as you get older
And leaves fall, clouds drift through the sky
Small things like this grow with time
I know
When I grow weary will you please tell me?
And my first fear is that I'll forget you
And life will go on, just as it's supposed to
And people will leave, the one's I've met
But I know that some of them do come back
And all I can ask
Is that you're one of them
And forgive me for my syntax
For interruptions, lousy comebacks
You see, that I ain't nothing without your cover
And days drift by with morning sun
Soon rains the window, now it's gone
And we pack our bags and fill new seats
And my first fear is that I'll forget you
And life will go on, just as it's supposed to
And people will leave, the one's I love
But I sometimes they think of you and that's enough
And all I wish of
Is that you're one of them
When I grow old without a warning
Before I have children, see New Orleans
And Greece
And maybe we'll meet up in Thebes
And by then we'll have big apartments
I'll still be a washed out artist
We'll see
Just who I turn out to be
And my first fear is that I'll forget you
And life will go on, just as it's supposed to
And people will leave, the one's I need
But I sometimes they change you
Every piece
And all I know for me
Is that you're one of them
Is that you're one of them
Voicemail:
Let me know if anything changes honey, okay?
I love you, I can't wait to hear about your first day
Okay baby, bye

Trust, Love, & Ignorance
04:06

I fell in love with you in a crowded room
Like a flower you're the one that I choose
And you held the door and made it easy
And for that I honor you
I can replace all your movie stars
Said I was pretty, baby put me on a postcard
Thought it was funny when I was naive
And I never liked that
Oh but we are running, you're the on that I won't let get away
You said forever, I remember
We were standing in place
So I guess we'll play it safe
Couldn't look you in the eye for two years
Told you what was on my mind with three fears
Trust, love, and Ignorance
And at night I'd always figure that
We'd figure it out
I never wanted to pick fights with you
And when I'm angry you probably think it's damn cute
Say you're sorry, more apologies
And "It's okay, you're my muse"
And so I'll come home after our car conversation
Given every chance, and what chance have you taken?
And why did I bring it up?
I should have just stayed in my head
Oh but we are dancing, our romance is
To a beat I'll always play
You said forever, I remember
Read your letters everyday
Until the paper greyed
Couldn't look you in the eye for two years
Told you what was on my mind with three fears
Trust, love, and Ignorance
And at night I'd always figure that
We'd figure it out
Tell me why all of me was only half of you
And I tried to fill your cup, cause I wanted to
Felt-good-when-I-could-wanted-to
Ha, ha, I
To you're own contradiction, I'm not the only one with problems
God I hate confrontation, especially when we can't solve them
Scream-into-my-pillow-solve-them
Ha, Ha, I
Fell in love with you in a crowded room
And I tell the story just the same as you
And you say you love me, like the first week
Then show me that you do
Oh cause we are walking, downtown talking
Your hand is on my face
You said forever, I remember
You and me would never change
So I always played it safe
Couldn't look you in the eye for two years
Told you what was on my mind with three fears
Trust, love, and Ignorance
And at night I'd always figure that
I couldn't look you in the eyes, boy
I told you what was on my mind, boy
With trust, love, and ignorance
I figured that, one night

Conclusions
03:50
|
|||
|
Re-opened an old wound tonight
Went down a road I shouldn't have
And time can erase all the things in my head
But it can't give away all the things I still have
And
Now you've got my t-shirt sleeve wet
And I can't tell if I'm honest or weak
Cause I told all my friends I burned the photographs
So I guess I'll do that on Tuesday next week
Remember when I was your tiny dancer?
Passenger seat of your car, drive faster
I really don't how you remember me
But I know that we we're
Best friends, you were my best friend
My killer in the night, and a stranger sometimes
But it doesn't matter who said what anymore
And it doesn't matter who we were once before
So I guess I'll come to conclusions
That it'll never make sense, never make sense to us
Didn't think I could hate anyone, but
For a while I wanted you to burn in hell
So I cut every cord, and built walls high as sky
But when I heard you knock
I took them down
And
Sometimes I remember our loss
And I wonder if you do as well
Was any of it real?
Did you lie, or did you feel?
Well those are now questions for yourself
Remember when we were so young its December?
Fifteen, tangled on your couch together?
I really don't know if you remember me
But I know that we were
Endless, you were my promise
My failure, all my tries
And the death of me sometimes
But it doesn't matter who said what anymore
And it doesn't matter who we were once before
So I guess I'll come to conclusions
That it'll never make sense, never make sense to us
For two years I, I did love you
And that's all, that's all I know
For two years I held on to you
And now it's time
Now it's time to let go
