Sweet

Sweet, like a peach in the heat of summer
Don't you cover up your spots every time you stumble
My word, you shine brighter than the coats of the spring
I'm humbled!
Oh, please, can't I stand beside the light just to hear the thunder?
(You feel like...)
Fleet, like the wings of a heart unshuttered
Help me shore up all the cracks with a sheen, uncluttered
My God, I'm lost!
Running Up That Hill with a soul encumbered
Sweet voice yet sounds, wrapping all that's seen in its vibrant colors
You make a mess out of me
You feel like home
Lying on our backs in the peak of summer
Stretching out our leaves just to catch the sun, burn
Oh sweet, sweet Time
C'mon, make me bleed, it's my skin you're under
Have I become just another weed left chasing thunder?
Sweet like a peach in the heat of summer
Sweet like a peach every time you stumble
You feel like...

Dreamin'

Let me be your answer, baby
You know your love ain't fair
Roll on down your window, baby
I need that summer air
This ain't the kind of thing I write
But you got me feeling something different
Hey,
I can't get clear
You're running through my head
But I still need a couple seconds, baby
To catch any breath you could spare
When I'm crawling back to my old ways
You pull me up with something different
Hey,
I need you to know
I've been wearing myself down alone
Wearing my heart down alone
Shut off the telephone, baby
Just to be dreamin' about something like this
And how you give it to me
Now I remember, darling
All the people I've been
You bring out the one I missed, baby
And I don't wanna be different again
Wearing myself down alone
Wearing my heart down alone
Shut off that telephone, baby
Don't leave me dreamin'
about something like this
Don't leave me dreamin' now, baby

Heavy Soul
04:50

I took my heavy soul
Wrung out and ironed out the folds
I walked my feet on burning coals
And washed them clean
My iris darts from side to side
Painting the colors of your eyes
My inner portrait's smooth, it hides
The parts of me that're never still
Oh, what have I done?
I'm standing out in the rain again
I guess this's how it's supposed to go?
1-2, unto my heavy soul
My heart is jumping through my throat
It never does just what it's told
Oh, what have I done?
I'm standing out in the rain again
What a beautiful day
We fell asleep with the record on
The one with all those sleepy songs
It just keeps spinning
(Sun when there is none)
I guess this's how it's supposed to go
Tangled, imperfect, heavy souls
My heart is jumping through my throat
Doing exactly what it's told
What have I done?
I'm standing out in the rain again
Just tell me how it's supposed to go
My heart is bursting, heavy soul

Hide

Find a point, but change your position
Like a child, I wouldn't listen
Dragging smoke on an olive leaf
Yeah, it's cold, but we're sticking to the mission
In all reality, this is the best of things I never wanted to happen
Yeah, my colors get me some attention
Under my coat, they're never worth a mention
Run my nails on the backs of my teeth
Pull 'em out, yeah, the Blood & apprehension
In all reality, just sometimes say that you miss it
Wait, tell me the secrets you're keeping all to yourself
You're keeping all to yourself
Push through me, your whisper
I feel the gravity shift
Trace your thoughts on my ribs
Wait, tell me the secrets you're keeping all to yourself
You're keeping all to yourself
Push through me
Your whisper cuts through the cars and the swells
This tangled insistence
(I know we're gonna make it but
I'm running out of space to hide)
I'm the only one who hates me
All this jealous love frustrates me

Bloom

If I could say exactly what I mean I would
Just cuz it's lost to words don't mean it isn't good
What will I do when everything is beautiful?
I hacking up my lungs
They're full of all this coal
This train is rolling slow
What will I do when everything is beautiful?
Take me down to the gardens
All of these wires can't keep me going
So take me down to the gardens
Full of the sun, it will make me glow
Not taking anymore chances
I'll grow my roots where they're planted
I'm a gift when I'm opened
Magnificent and in dawning bloom
I'm a stanza when spoken
Mirrored the state that I awoke in
I'm the lyre
I'm the harp
Plucked with kindness
In the darkness

Made of the Sea

i don't wanna be anything i wanted to be
rollin' round,
hips down
let 'em sway in the streets
i don't wanna know what everyone claims
cuz what do they know
and what do we know
i don't wanna be anything i wanted to be
i don't wanna say anything I wanted to say
it always comes out thin
like we're oceans away
i don't wanna know why everyone dies
i know where they go
i know where we'll go
all i know is this all i've ever wanted to say
hands slipping like we're made of the sea
bend slowly as you're driftin' to me
baby, if we melt and flow
it's only 'cause of the heat
all i wanna know
is how to feel complete
i don't wanna feel everything i'm having to feel
i'm a muscle broken down
give me no time to heal
i don't wanna know how everyone deals
man, where have they been
is it where i've been
i don't wanna feel everything i'm having to feel
i just wanna sleep every time i'm falling to sleep
thoughts ghostin'
and the guard's not tending the keep
i don't wanna know why everyone cries
when anything close
must now become closed
just falling, yeah, the fallen's not falling to sleep
hands slipping like we're made of the sea
bend slowly as you're driftin' to me
baby, if we melt and flow
it's only 'cause of the heat
all i wanna know
is how to feel complete
hands slipping like we're made of the sea
bend slowly as you drift into me
baby, if we melt and flow
it's only 'cause of the heat
all i wanna know
is do you feel complete?
chase it as it comes and goes
:ohno:
do you feel complete?

Crowns

There's a stream down in the valley
for resting, weary hearts
where the water's running gently
as the daylight comes apart
where some come to end a journey
but some they never learn
"You never know how much you love them
till you know how much it hurts"
"You never know how much you love them
till you know how much it hurts"
I saw you through the tall grass
With your sword upon the ground
Putting flowers in your hair
But you never turned around
And in that moment I discovered
You already had your crown
Sometimes you're praying for an answer
When no one is around
Praying for an answer
When no one is around
Put a lighter to a candle
And kept it out of sight
To either burn until it withered
Or with a warring flame ignite
Some nights I knew I heard it whisper
And some I felt its cry
"Go to sleep until tomorrow
Don't you ever say goodbye"
"Go to sleep until tomorrow
Don't you ever say goodbye"
There's a stream down in the valley for
resting, weary hearts
where in the silence I remember
as the morning dew departs
Where some come to end a journey
And others come to yearn
If I could call you by your name
Then with my name would you return?
If I could call you by your name
Then with my name would you return?

Sunbeams

Sometimes you gotta chase your self
Sometimes you're gonna let yourself down
and, boy, let me tell you:
It's gonna hurt like hell the first time
but don't you do it too much to get used to it
One day I'm gonna let you in
cuz I'm shining like the sun when you're around
But I'm wrapped up in curtains, and
I've got some nails to keep it pinned down
All my head is ringing, and
All of me is singing
From the inside
I think about you every day
(I can be patient, or at least I can try)
(And that's just as well)
Please, please be careful with yourself
Please, please I only want to, love
Oh, let me tell ya:
Even if I had known it was gonna hurt like hell
I can't afford to regret my whole self
I can't afford to lose my whole way
Can I be your eyes in the darkness?
I think about you every day
(I'll be as warm as the sunbeams)
(I'll be as soft as a cool breeze)
I've got staples in my head
like, where you been?
I wasn't ready for the time
to let you in
and I'm crying
at all the time I've wasted feeling rejected
when I'm just wretched
