When I see you again can we pick up what we left it Will our soft ideas grow old and impossible When I fall asleep will you help me to wake up I am the one who waits I am waiting I am the one who waits Will I see you again in accordance with sympathy Silence is a pardon One part sound When I call softly you go My rescue is uncertain Softly named When I cry like a thief will you still lie back to me The same words try us both If I tell you would you keep it Disconnection or connection If I tell you keep it to yourself I cannot see how it will change Disconnection or Connection I am the one who waits I am waiting I am the one who waits
2.
Say it backwards like we often do Of course I copy Dyed my hair for you Don't sit in the chair too long Don't stay in the car too long It really do something to me It really do do something to me Don't stand in the shower too long Don't stay in the bar too long No discoveries Only lovers We might impact differently Daily wishes Work for wages In another place It’s public rules At certain point A certain way It’s certainty in decline In decline
3.
The wait is over You break open Stealing means desire Desire Cloaked in winter shivers Old drawers Wood splits in two like you Laughing means ambition Conditioned Narrow Blackened arrows fly The wait is over You've smoothed over The words are simple enough The coldest yet The way bleak north A sharpened sense that pierced the heart Blackened arrows fall Not on a string Though I will sing what’s about me Hidden cleverly Shoot you down Shoot shoot shoot you down
4.
How preventative Can we be for each other Hold my hand while I cross To the other How imaginative I can be with time Hold your breathe now to tell A lie beside her Someone help their friend He's moving much too slow I’m a delicate flower I’m a drooping sunflower I may be dried and stored An ornament on your wall Someone help their friend He's moving much too slow
5.
Into the bright light I could see it coming Without reason Without warning How can I explain My hopelessnesses You try so patiently Pages turning I was not aware That you were not warned I could not care That you were not reassured I think of you on an airplane Your shoes are off A slight light lights the play Sipping soda and ice How can I explain My meaninglessnesses You try to hold my hand Now it’s raining I was not aware That you were not warned I could not care That you were not reassured Like cake fail A resent email It’s traffic on your street I’m open to suggestion on how to spend my cash And how to waste your days I’m not looking for suggestions on how spend my cash And how to waste your day
6.
I'm sorry I said I would carry a gun I wasn't quite sure if the dueling was done I'm way out Way out If I am a bore then I'll have to decline Quiet and leaning and drinking I'm way out Way out Now give this a listen I think we'll agree It was much more of you and much less of me My body kicks in around quarter to three My breathing is slow my mind half the speed I'm way out Way out I see that you've tied my feet and my hands Laughed at and broken and sleeping I'm way out Way out Now give it a moment I think you'll agree It was much more of you and much less of me Classic tears and walking You try gain some knowledge You sit and stare for hours without blinking But you won’t back down You keep it keep it from keeping you Classic tears and waking in the dark You never learned perspective You sit and smoke for hours at the window But you won’t back down You keep it you keep it from keeping you
7.
Like a moth in rain I crawl to you To the soft light We'll meet in your room Like dominoes I fall Like you want me to I'll wait for you For sometime I'll wait for you It's what I should do In summertime the light is undetected In hot days you face is unprotected I'll wait for you It's what I should do I'll wait for you It's what I can do But in them meantime I’ll have drink Will you wait for me like I wait for you It’s what you should do
8.
See the rifle See the knife drop Watch the birds fall Hear the car stall By himself By herself Chase the signal Taste the signaled Call it over Call it open Works slowly Works so slowly Rests inside Rests in time Hear the sink dry Right on time I wear the wrong disguises You keep with open mindedness Broken mouths spitting leaves Your hair is mine You taste unsure You see in air what’s unconfirmed A broken mouth My broken mouth Sets us to depart
9.
Four hours left Take me by the hand Calm this hopelessness Calm this land Where I am Four months left Take me by the hand Quit this hopelessness Come this land I already am It sings you It brings you I breathe you In afternoon sun Afternoon sun It’s an anthem without translation In afternoon sun Afternoon Sun In afternoon sun It’s after you’ve gone too low

A light matter Part one Is older than two parts alone Don’t you come home Any older Don’t you come home Any older It’s an oversight Disguised A rewrite of your your truth I’ll make you you You make me mine We’ll make you yours Here we go Light matter Part one Here is part two of one Is older Tragically you tell me because Than two parts alone It’s not that light that binds me Don’t you come home Any older It’s the light here reminds me Don’t you come home any older Tragically older It’s an oversight Disguised A rewrite of your your truth I’ll make you you You make me me We’ll make you mine
12.
This world is wrong Un-perfect storm Dispersed light Unearthed light We’re left to right All the things to please yours eyes Excited ears Hear our cracked smiles This world is wrong Un-perfect storm Dispersed light Unearthed light We’re left to write All the things to please yours eyes Excited ears Here are cracked smiles You are new I am heat You are hands I am feet You are snow I am sleet You are day I am awake You are night I am grey You are hands I am feet You wake me up So differently Take one for the team And hope all comes clean Summer comes slowly And in the end we’ll sing So differently And feel different
13.
All goodnight and sleep tightly through these travels You’ll be the one who slips away I’ll be the one who takes the blame Hold on tight they’re leaning down for you You’ll be the one whose forced to stay I’ll be the one who breaks away Leave it all again Let our worlds stand there as a proof To those we abused What can we do What can we say What would we trade for more youth Share one last breath with one last friend we feel like seeing We should be leaving he wants to get even You’ll be the one who makes mistakes You’ll be the one who steals our fate Make one last toast to how close we came You’ll be the one whose left behind Leave it all again Let our words stand there as a proof To those we abused What can we do What can we say What would we trade for your youth Someday you may find your luck again Feel a touch of shame as you fled the scene Someday you’ll know when you’ll see those again Shake some hands of friends Move away again Someday you may find your luck again Feel a touch of shame as you fled the scene Someday you’ll know when you’ll see those again Shake some hands of friends Move away again

When you go to meet your maker baby Let’s hope he keeps an open mind Because I know I won’t be far behind in line The way its stands we won’t get in without a plan Our wrongs bring darkness Unless there’s a hole in the fence I hear winds blowing on the leaves The windows open as I dress and leave I reach down and touch your feet While you pretend you’re still asleep I put my shoes on in the car because the sounds of footsteps Makes it hard to leave you alone with your dreams Out of sync Out of mind Out of sight Put your plans on hold for mine When you go to see your mother baby Please tell her I tried to compromise But the silence got longer The halls grew darker Looks start to wander away When I saw you standing there holding hands with your dad He looked more sad than you and I Out of sync Out of mind Out of sight Put your plans on hold for mine
