lyrics

out of sight i reach for high shelves
i’m not alone with myself
dumbstruck in morning sunlight
bleached back to youth and health

promise me you’ll wake me when
i’m missing the dance again
sourmouthing each and every
person i’ve ever been

vanishing afternoons
a year like a loose tooth
wake early, do the laundry
as if that’s any use

dead tired but well provisioned
we leave the windows down
and let the valley take us
straight to the heart of town

all at once, with screwed-up courage
i knocked and walked away
all this time it’s like the world’s been
waiting on a better version

we’re on time, we’ll be fine
i’ve heard it over and over
keep searching our shadows
i’ve drifted into another
let go of all thoughts now
there’s nothing here
that you need to save
cast off what most soothes you
and watch it sink underneath the waves

not ever cast aside every song a b-side
stop searching far and wide
every song is a b-side
don't act so mystified every song a b-side
you should be satisfied
every song is a b-side

another failure with the folks
when i'm tongue tied i provoke
tripped up by stupid jokes
ramming fingers in the spokes
why can't my thoughts hold the shape
they have when they're inside my brain?
the edges melt and don't maintain
and pile on the ground like ticker tape
leave me hashing on my knees
for the scrap that i need
to explain what i mean
i need you to know what i mean
speak to me become a voice
at least pretend you’re here by choice
