Something's off
can't find the softness in your gaze
you're in the tunnel
Maybe it's my watch that stopped
maybe my time got off
and I'll catch you soon
Ahh - caught up in the static
I'm waiting on a word to cut through
and let me in to you
You look up
put down your coffee cup
meet my eyes
a light in the tunnel
let's take a walk
hold my hand around the block
and hear our feet beat out the time
step by step till we align
Ahh - caught up in the static
I'm waiting on a word to cut through
and let me in to
Ahh - I would wait for you
stumbling home, you were never alone
I would rise and fall each time with you
You say I want my mind back
I don't want time to slip
No pill no drink just the sun set pink
on the ships out in the harbor
See them blazing gold, like it was all foretold
your hand in mine feels stronger

Coming up slow just like the bend in the river
Baby you know I always get stuck in the winter
Waiting on spring to give me a sign
A wink from the bluebirds a nod from the pines
Blink your eyes it’s summertime and I’m still frozen
Waiting to speak my mind
Can’t pin it down just like the dance in your shadow
Spin me around - if you take the lead I can follow
Straight to the floor to the part I do best
Bluffing and keeping my cards close to the chest
It’s a waiting game the way I play no way to tell you
That you’ve been on my mind
Much of the time
Tell was cowardly never asking how you felt about me
Was I living in a fantasy? Hung up on possibility
But oh my god, oh my babe you looked so pretty
In that golden hour of uncertainty
You were everything and nothing to me
Everything and nothing to me
You were everything and nothing to me
You were nobody
You’re coming home back to the place where I knew ya
This time I know, I know the words will come clearer
Plenty of springs have come and gone
I know I’m the one that’s been leading us on
Now I know my heart and I know my mind I’m going to tell you
That you’ve been on my mind
All of this time

Nobody Knew

An individual cage
Stuck inside yourself, you’re in a rage
How is anyone supposed to behave?
When the days are dark
And the nights are few and far apart
Nobody knew it would it this hard
If I could be with you then I
Wouldn’t waste a minute,
No I’d never take a moment of your time
Want you to be with it but I’ve
Come to see it’s different, Yes I’ve
Come to realize I’m out of line
Always out of line
So sensitive
Your opinion is invalid
How can anyone go off grid?
When the days are dark
And the nights are hard to tell apart
Nobody knew it would hit this hard
If I could be with you then I
Wouldn’t waste a minute,
No I’d never take a moment of your time
Want you to be with it but I’ve
Come to see it’s different, Yes I’ve
Come to realize I’m out of line
Some have strength to remain
But I’m not that way
Tiny space, time to waste
Nobody knew, nobody knew
Nobody knew

Thank You

Dark, moonless night
The light so hard to find
All I did was cry
You brought me back to life
I was so confused
The day I came to you
Brokenhearted, bruised
I had nothing to lose
I just want to thank you
For picking me up when I was down
Cause the love that you give me
Is getting my feet back on the ground
The ground

Was I wrong? Or did I do right
Bringing up another thing that’s sure to make us cry
In these hard times
There’s no shortage in supply of stuff to keep us up at night
But I couldn’t let it sit there in the silence that you made
As you took your time looking for the perfect word or phrase
I don’t need your poetry
I don’t want a sugarcoat
I just want the words caught in your throat
I don’t always wanna be the one who’s asking
What is wrong babe
Tell me did you think that you were doing us a favor keeping everything inside
Let is out babe show your shadows to the light
I will see what I don’t hear
My imagination will confirm my wildest fears
I might toss and turn all night wondering if you are alright
It doesn’t matter that you’re right here
Cause I know this feeling
Baby I’ve been here before
If it wasn’t you then it was someone else who I adored
Who tried to hide
Covered pain up with a smile
Insisted everything was fine
I don’t always wanna be the one who’s asking
What is wrong babe
Tell me did you think that you were doing us a favor keeping everything inside
Let is out babe show your shadows to the light

Hi, I am home!
Oh, you’re talking to yourselves.
Did you notice I am here?
Or is it someone else you’re
Ignoring next to me?
Is it my nervous energy?
Nobody means to be mean,
We’re just
Self-thinking
Maybe when I walk through the door,
All that anybody sees is what came before
My hello
Love, I am here! Only fifty per cent,
The other half is in my head
It isn’t fair that you just get the rest
Of my toxic energy
Whenever you’re lying next to me
I never wanted to be mean to myself
Most of the time, it feels so easy
Maybe when I walk through the door,
All that my love can see is want stands before him
And that is all I am, I am nothing but a shell
Moving through the day to day,
Wishing that I was someone else
Hi through the air,
I’m calling you from Baltimore
I have been working on the way that I use my brain
Restore the wasted energy
Funneling out of you and out of me
I know that I can be obscene
So tell me when to stop thinking

Reading my journal the words hit like popcorn kernels
Violent surprise
The lines paint a picture
A brutal war and we the victors
Love on our side
Or so I’d hoped
Back in July
Feel the heat feel it coming down
Tangled up and we’re running round
Don’t know where it is we’re going babe
But I like moving with you I like moving with you
Feel the heat feel it coming down
Tangled up and we’re running round
Don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know what I’m doing
Don’t know what
With you gone from my bed and time as a lens
Oh I can’t say I understand the feelings I had for you then
Flipping through pages
I’m searching for traces of what was to come
The fall and the winter
The lives that we splintered with the beat of our drum
Played to the tune of I need someone
Someone who sees who I’ve become
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you
With you gone from my bed and time as a lens
Oh I See the end from the start how it’d all fall apart
Oh I
Oh I
Oh I can’t say I understand
the feelings I had for you then

Hey, how have you been these days?
It’s been a long, long time
Feels like a world away
I still think of the times we had
Golden memories
I put them in my past
And I’m letting go of me and you
Each day that passes I’m someone new
Your face was the one that I knew so well
Better than my own
You know I could always tell
Strange, to think of you on your own
I get so sad sometimes
But I know you’re not alone
I don’t wanna cry anymore
Told you I’m done keeping score
Oh I gotta let you go with all the love in my heart
I’m making room for a new start

The Friends You Had
03:40

At the party talking bout you again
Telling stories from back when
We used to be friends who would talk
Through the night or on long walks
Now the year’s are piled up like rocks
And I can’t hear your voice
Where’d you go love and where are you now?
Thought I saw you in town
But there’s no way it could have been you
You have cut me off for good
I have listened to your silence you’re not asking to be found
You left five years ago and you don’t look back
You never say hello to the friends you had
Guess we will never know but I have to ask
Why did you let us go? And are you ever coming back?
How many times have I gone over what you said
The story’s at its end but I keep coming back to a line
Made significant with time
You said, “I don’t seem to keep friends long”
I guess you were right
I guess you were right
You left five years ago and you don’t look back
You never say hello to the friends you had
Guess we will never know but I have to ask
Why did you let us go? And are you ever coming back?
