Pots and pans

There’s a couple up the stairs
making noise all the time.
Late at night they bang their pots and their pans
oh man, they're so loud.
Oh wow, they're allowed
until ten PM to be loud.
Then I call the cops, or chicken out.

There’s a couple up the stairs,

Or I call the cops, or chicken out.

 

Stride

Feeling right, feeling ok tonight,
you inside
I don't think I made the right decision here,
you and I we take it all in stride...
you and I rely on little things to get by.

Feeling good, feeling like I should,
deep inside
I think I made the right decision here,
you and I we take it all in stride...
you and I rely on little things to get by...
you and I rely on little things to get by.

 

Middle of July

I don't know if that's your leg, or is it mine?
We’re entwined.
And I can't tell if it's day or night outside,
I closed the blinds.
And I feel so good inside,
when you come into my mind.
I can't wait till you come home,
and your skin will replace
the phone.

I don't know is that your eyelash or mine?
I think it's mine.
And tell me about the night we slept
outside.
When you had to leave
decide
whether we should even try
by a burned-out streetlight
in the middle of July.

 

Old fashioned way

Remember the day
we went to an old fashioned way
to get my haircut
by an old fashioned barber,
he
sat me on his chair,
sharpened his blades and cut my hair.

I asked him if he'd shave my beard,
he said he stopped doing that last year.
Tradition ends in fear.

We walked down the road
new haircut, feeling good I know,
things will get better,
summer is right around the corner.

I stopped and looked into your eyes,
somedays I’m depressed
don't know why.
Today I’m glad
to be alive.

 

Half for me

They were the only
smokers
so they'd meet
outside every twenty minutes, when we all used to hang out.
Soon they became drawn
to each other and anticipated
the next time they'd meet and we had no idea.

The four of us, the two of them;
my girlfriend, and my best friend.

One night they announced
to us
they were going
to go for a walk and soon they began splitting packs in half.
Half for him, and half
for her.
Half for me is half
for sure.

 

Choking

You once told me
the reason that
a lot of people
choke to death
is 'cause they get up
and walk away
right when they feel
their throats give way.
They leave the table
to avoid a scene,
so no one hears them,
and no one sees.

And I just realized that if you
started choking,
I wouldn't know what to
do.

 

You are all I have

You are all I have
you are all I have
you are all I have

If you go away, I don't think I will survive.
I wait outside the front door till you arrive.
The light of day will shine inside of your eyes,
inside your eyes I’ll see me there by your side.

Am I all you have?
Am I all you have?
Am I all you have?

If I go away, I know that you will survive.
You’re stronger than me, I have just realized.
You won't be outside of your house till I arrive.
The light of day will shine inside of your eyes.

 

Winter trip

I took you round the back,
picked a flower for your hand
to hold.
Careful as the wind blows.

We rented movies and then we watched
things that made us laugh and talk.

You taught me things about myself
a lot of things I hadn't felt.

We talked about a winter trip
somewhere that doesn't look like where we are.
Not like where we are.
Anywhere but where we are.

Hey what did we know?
Hey what did we know?
Hey what did we know?
Hey what did we know?

I feel your warmth inside of me
you are lying right beside
me.
Right beside me.
My hand is touching yours;
our feet are sticking out of the covers.
Out of the covers.

I feel your warm breath on my neck.
I feel that I’m starting to drift.
Starting to drift.
Starting to drift.
