Shirt Song

Sleeping in my ex’s shirt
I honestly don’t think too much about him no more
Can count the ways that it doesn’t even hurt
A couple wash cycles that shit don’t even
smell like him anymore
And life goes on
5-6-7-8
Oh we were always dancing baby
Laughing at dumb things
Oh why’d you stay
Long enough to drive me crazy
Couple years I could’ve killed you
or me I guess
either way
One last call to calm me down
One last kiss and one more round
Now hand it off to time and space
Oh it’s doing its’ cruel magic
Feeling better every day
Don’t know why I kill myself over details
Always wishing I was somewhere else
But life has shown me I’m stronger than I thought
Crueler than I would ever want
Got time to think about everything
I’m not lonely anymore
I got everything I need
And I’m left thinking maybe I’ve grown
Or maybe I just don’t feel anything anymore
One last call to calm me down
One last kiss and one more round
Now hand it off to time and space
Oh it’s doing its’ cruel magic
Feeling better every day
Sitting in my ex’s shirt
Boiling water
Making coffee
Folding Laundry
Writing verse
It all just feels a little too absurd
we fell in love
a couple months
And now you’re nothing but
another shirt

Fifty Dollars in the gas tank
Ice caps melting
Let me know when you’re ready
and we’ll get going
You say you really see me
And I don’t really know what you mean
But it sure sounds lovely
and I like when you’re looking at me
And so it goes
You live you laugh you love
You die alone
I found my home
And all that I can think is
How scared I am of losing it
Booked a flight out to see me
Water rising
I’ll pick you up in the morning
And we’ll keep goingYou told me you love me
and I believed
Nothings ever been quite this easy
God it’s really something
And so it goes
You live you laugh you love
You die alone
I found my hope
And all that I can think is
How scared I am of losing everything
I don’t know when I got so scared of flying
and started holding my breath
Never used to be so scared of trying
been singing everything so quiet
I don’t know when it got hard to listen
thoughts racing in an empty head
I don’t know how it’s gonna end but
I got a feeling

Good Dog

I have been waiting by the window in the dark
Keeping quiet, sat listening for your car
A quiet panic that you’re never coming home
Don’t like who you make me
But I know it’s not your fault
Am I better off alone
Give you up and crawl back home
Instead of waiting at your door
Like a good dog that you don’t want
Sit on the couch and cry it off
Convince myself it’s what I want
It’s what I want
Better to call it if I know it’s gonna go
Don’t want you to hate me when I get to be too much
I don’t want to be angry when you did nothing wrong
Baring teeth just out of fear
To scare you off
Am I better off alone
Give you up and crawl back home
Instead of waiting at your door
Like a good dog that you don’t want
Sit on the curb and cry it off
Convince myself it’s what I want
It’s what I want
And I know you think I’m some designer breed
But I’m just a rescue you‘d find on the street
I been scratching at the door and making myself bleed
Cuz everybody leaves
everybody leaves
Think I’m better off alone
Giving up and going home
Instead of waiting at your door
a stupid dog that never learns
get on the phone and call my mom
Let her tell me I fucked up
That I was wrong
What I want’s a change of heart
Be strong enough to bear it all
Not be so tortured by my thoughts
bout what can happen while you’re gone
What I want is you back home
wrapped up in my arms
That’s what I want

Jackson I could have sworn that I told you
but maybe I never did
It’s nothing against you or your girlfriend
But I wasn’t expecting this
All this time spent for nothing
All my love gone to waste
Was barely sixteen when I first started dreaming
bout spending my life by your side
First cut is the deepest I’d have to agree
Oh and I never pulled out the knife
All this time spent for nothing
All my love gone to waste
Sometimes I catch myself holding my breath
for that long waited knock on my door
But every moment’s a new disappointment
and I won’t do it anymore
All this time spent for nothing
All my love gone to waste
All this time spent for nothing
Not one more minute left to waste

Worms

I think this might be my exit
I think I’ve had enough
You know you lost me there
I don’t know what you’re talking about
I clipped your piece from the paper
Hung it on my wall
Still don’t know what it means to me
If anything at all
Opened up your can and
Let out all these worms
Heard you’re moving on while I’m still
sifting through the dirt
I opt for softer poisons
Kinder than your love
Still they kill me softly
One day day I’ll have to ante up
Maybe there’s a time for us
In another place
Maybe on some grassy hillside
Or swallowed up in space

Back on the move
You rolling stone
What’s new with you
You been moving on
Been moving slow but my tank is full
and I’m not standing where I was
You read the news
didn’t give your name
but we all know who
so it stung the same
Said you’re opting out of that news cycle
to keep from getting cynical you say
I had several dreams
of you last week
I woke up angry
from a gorgeous sleep
All I know is my heart’s been broke
But I’m not standing where I was

The Door

Tender hearted darlin
Keep your head above the water
Keep swimming til you reach that shore
Pretty little mama
Give it everything you got and
Keep fighting til you can’t no more
And I’ll be waiting
Right outside the door
Critical and cautious
think I’m running out of options
Might be time to pack my boxes and go
Silly little dreamer almost made me a believer
Been a while since I’ve seen her now
But she’s there waiting
Right outside the door
It was everything I wanted
Oh I had it and I lost it
it was right there in my pocket
Had to see what else was out there
Now I’m grasping at straws
for any single sense of purpose
Laying face up on the carpet
landed right back where I started
And I’m spending time alone
but it’s really not a problem
Doing fine here on my own
finding ways to pass the time
Spending mornings drinking coffee
Writing songs about nothing
Screaming into the oblivion
But I’m there waiting
Right outside the door

I had a dream I was flying
Mother said you were alive again
More alive than you’d ever been
I sprinted out to the water’s edge
I got to look in your eyes again
I got to look in your eyes
You didn’t say you were leaving
But looking back I guess you did
And God I wish that I had heard you then
Guess that I wasn’t listening
I got to see you smile again
I got to see you smile
And I hope that little lake house
wasn’t only in my dreams
I hope where you are is kinder
than this earth could ever be
I hope when you took that final leap of faith
it felt like flying
And I hope somehow you finally know
how much we really love you
And that any doubt about it is left
in this world behind you
You gave me all my dreams
I’ll be staying gold for you
I got to look in your eyes again
I got to say goodbye

Living on earth keeps breaking my heart
So I’ve got my sights set on Venus or Mars
or some other rock revolving some other star
Guess it doesn’t matter so long as it’s far
Cuz living on earth keeps breaking my heart
testing my patience and giving me scars
and all that I want is to to lay in your arms
so send me away it’s all so fucking hard
And I’m always staring at the moon
Cuz it’s so easy to see the bright side
when it’s glaring back at you
Living on earth keeps breaking my heart
So I made up my mind and I’m leaving tomorrow
I did all the math and I’m planning the launch
I’ll bring all my books and live on top ramen
Cuz living on earth keeps breaking my heart
but I guess I’ll admit I’d probably miss it a lot
Like mom and dad and Matt and my dog
all those big little things you don’t miss til they’re gone
And I’m always staring at the moon
Cuz it’s so easy to see the bright side
when it’s glaring back at you
Living on earth keeps breaking my heart
but it always heals and life always goes on
the world’s still turning so there’s always tomorrow
I’ll hold onto hope cuz it’s all that I got

Untourable Album

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe.
