The Things We Never Did
02:11

"I'm a puker," she said,
"I always throw up on road trips."
I hesitated, then said,
"It's still worth taking that risk."
All the plans that we made
The things that we never did
Due to the lack of time
Due to the circumstances faced
You will never be replaced
The garden with its ancient tower
The Thai place on Kennedy
Skinny-dipping in your father's pool
The weekend trip to D.C.
All the plans that we made
The things that we never did
Due to the lack of time
Due to the circumstances faced
You will never be replaced

I offer up myself to you
You offer up yourself to me
We turn the lights off and we do
The things they can't show on TV
Maybe in Belgium or Germany
The opening of the dresser drawer
Anticipation is tautly wound
We put the comforter on the floor
Cos the bed makes too much sound
And your roommate's still around
The power in the fingertips
The subtleties in a simple move
The beauty in your parted lips
The steady motions we go through
The smells we've grown accustomed to
When the rest of life restarts
We clean up the mess we made
And even though it's time to part
I'll carry you with me all day
I'll carry you with me all day

I am a default napper
We've been staying up all night
Songs and drinks, smiles and after
Doing what just feels right
We are zombies through the workday
Barely there, sleepwalking
Needing sleep in the worst way
But not regretting a thing
Such an inane endeavor
To try and put a name to this
It's just the first days of "whatever"
That's more or less appropriate

the upper peninsula at 3am
i'm waiting for my second wind to kick in
and all that i want is to kiss you and then
kiss again
and all of the stars are out for us to see
a romantic moment that's framed perfectly
suspecting instead that it's not meant to be
you and me
driving for hours with hours to go
your head tilted back leaned against the window
and i have to look out for deer on the road
driving slow
surrounded by universe til nothing remains
but new constellations waiting to be named
and all that it takes are the right words to say
what a shame
there are tears
in your eyes
and you won't
tell me why
and i'm a-
fraid to pry
so you cry
you've never been as far as this

Leaving Reykjavik
03:27
|
|||
Feel the wind shaking the plane
Coming after me
Knocked me down and left my face
Chapped and hurting
Even now it will not slow
Can not wait to see me go
Memories of crowded bars
And the tourist scam
A shot, a kiss, a clumsy charm
All as planned
Feel the wind shaking the plane
I can only hope to find myself here again

Toes
02:51

She said she would paint my toes as she took off my shoes
It's what she wanted to do
Her hand drunkenly applying glops of a garish copper
I had no reason to stop her
And then she asked if my toes curl when I come
She said it happens to everyone
I said that I was never aware if it happened to me
but if you're free
Then we can see
Let's give it a try
Let's prove your point tonight
Oh Jessica, with your shirt open wide
Amidst the changing hues of the dawning sky
Don't go back to Cookville just yet
There are things to do here that are much more important
And later on, the morning - rather, our own concept of morning -
Well, it came without warning
We shook off the shock of daylight as we put on our clothes
Looking down at our matching toes
The cuticles painted
The story borne
From the workout we gave them

If your sole intent
Was to raise my discontent
Then you did it perfectly
Now please get away from me
I thought I said goodbye
Why the hell do you still try
It doesn't matter what you say
I just want you to go away today
And the nights are getting cold
And here's someone you won't hold
Tightly under layered sheets
Helping you to feel complete
So here's one last goodbye
There's no need to even try
It doesn't matter what you say
I just want you to go away

You Were Made For Winter
03:34
|

You were made for winter
You were made for cold and snow
You were made for flushed cheeks
And a frozen nose
You were made to shiver
In the icy air
You were made to brush flakes
From your tinted hair
You were made for teeth that chatter
You were made for gloves and scarves
You were made for solace
In a heated bar
You were made for faded sweaters
Worn and run around
You were made for gray skies
That cannot bring you down
You were made for Sunday mornings
Covered in your duvet
You were made to dress in layers
So I can peel each one away

Casey wakes up wishing that he was dead
Noticing he's thrown up off the side of the bed
And everybody laughs
A bruise of unknown origin on Cindy's knee
Grass stains where grass stains just should not be
And everybody laughs
Anthony saw double on the short drive home
The smell of yesterday is still on his clothes
And everybody laughs
Random cigarette butts in Annie's hair
A comedic stumble down the nightclub stairs
And everybody laughs
Everybody laughs
We each hold a key to the mystery
A puzzle in our collective memories
And everybody laughs
Everybody laughs
Trying to piece together the night before
As I lay between the hallway and the bathroom floor
And everybody laughs

Good Time
02:49

Hey, let's have a good time tonight
Let's cast all of our differences aside
And when the night time ends
Then we can fight again
Til then, let's have a good time tonight
The 'Sink-Or-Swim' at Demi's sounds like fun
Or maybe check out The Orpheum's 'Two-For-One'
They're playing Johnny Cash
And your favorite New York trash
The past won't matter while their songs are sung
It wasn't long ago
Our bodies all a-glow
From a day spent in bed making love
But the sentiments conveyed
Just could not be maintained
We make the bed and call each other's bluff
Hey, let's have a good time tonight
Let's cast all of our difference aside
I know it's all gone wrong
But it's not too late - be strong
Hold on, and have a good time tonight
