Love Could Keep Us Apart

Love could keep us apart [x2]
We fight to be seen, darling
We fight to be heard
And love could keep us apart
Love could keep us apart [x2]
Copacetic times, yet
Primed for the night flight
When love could keep us apart
Love could keep us apart [x2]
Whatever it means, darling
Whatever the signs
Love could keep us apart
Love, love
(Could keep us apart)

Deceased sweet leaves
Exchange home towns
Can't recall yours for the life of me
If you don't love me now,
If you don't love me now
We'll sing songs, songs, songs
(Now you)
You're still nobody
Blush to think
Piano teeth
And understand what a man does drink
If you don't love me now,
If you don't love me now
We'll sing songs, songs, songs
He's no good for you
He's no good for you
Even if the other holds true
(Now you)
You're still nobody
And even after all that time, time, time, t-time
You're still nobody [x3]
And even after all that time (time), time, time, t-time
You're still a lot of nobody
And even after all that lyin' (lyin'), lyin', lyin', l-lyin'
You're still nobody
You're still nobody

Pinch Post

One vision of your mother's house
The windows rattle loud
Through the arbor remembering
Cotton clouds, the tire swing
Lounging like a bug in a glass
Opt for the menial tasks
Swirling like the cream in a mug
Snake in the grass, a prayer rug
Maybe I have become you
Signs point to you've become me too
Distinctions without a difference
Maybe I have become you
Put to paper an evergreen
Demand, a couplet to keep
You said one time we are younger
When we're asleep, little flower
Overloading but be discreet
Pinch post, opportunity
Maybe I have become you
Signs point to you've become me too
Distinctions without a difference
Maybe I have become you

Co-Sleeping
02:56
|

|
In long lost days we'd sleep at my school
Pink and alabaster skin has taken a darker hue
Taking stock of what we all need
Herringbone and houndstooth thread traded for tweed
Last night it was four or six times
When we finally sleep alone, we'll sleep for a long long time

Wake Me in the Night
05:09

Once we were brothers
Brothers in a different time
I'll bend light around you
Auspicious in red and white
Wake me in the night
Wake me in the, wake me in the half light
I hear you through the thin wall
I know you try to leave your mark
It's true you surpass me
When you sing and play guitar
There's no other reason
To get what we get in this season
Wake me in the night
Wake me in a past life
Staring past the window
I'm wondering what you already know
When we're in a backslide
I'm likely to lose my mind
Do I disappoint you?
Might you disappoint me in kind?
When we're in a bad way
We each have our part to play
Step on your shadow
Warn me when I step on your shadow

Half Again
03:48
|

|
Got myself caught up in the good life at the moment
Twenty years of space, messages come in a torrent
It's true the days drag while the years fly by
College in the east, take the coastal shelf for a drive
Some time on when I see you again
We'll wave to each other and recall what that portends
I see you in my dream in a hacienda
There's taco in your beard, your dress is nothing trendy
How did you come to see the truth for fear so sheer,
For theories of lesser-than, abstractions most sincere?
Some time on when I see you again
We'll wave to each other and recall what that portends [x2]
We'll wave to each other
Some time on
There's a tether on me don't think I'll ever shake
You still call me best friend in those videos you make
I love you different now than I loved you then
With the same insight, and then half again
Some time on when I see you again
We'll wave to each other and recall what that portends [x4]

Larkspur

Signal different times, larkspur
Gaining summer height, back border
Shadows in the trees, overt
West wind blows strong, carries away hillsides
Carries away pieces of mountainsides
Locked eyes in the fields, the meadowlands
Lead me to the cottage gardens
There is so much I've to tell you
Carries away pieces of mountainsides
Carries away
One by one by one
Envisioning loss
Ancient stands and copses be kind
My sole watch for all of all time
Signal different times, larkspur
Carries away pieces of mountainsides
West wind blows strong, carries away hillsides
Carries away
One by one by one
Envisioning loss
'Til time and times are done
One by one by one
Envisioning loss

And Even So
03:22

I think this has been written
I feel like unreasonable times
You're a robin and a beacon
A landmark been sent to remind
I think I'm learning from you
And I feel I'm not the one who brings you up
When I consider the anger
I feel just like a stranger
And even so, life is wonderful
Starshine unstoppable
I worry about you
I think about what matters
As you feel around for your soft landing
I think our breaks are handy
And I feel so understanding
The porch light isn't on at night
But it will be when the time is right
Men is what you will be
If I just could lead the boys offline
Could I be a saint or a sinner
I feel just like a faker
But inside, I know you're light as doves
Teaching me what it is to love
And even so, life's still wonderful
Starshine unstoppable
I worry about you
And if you don't worry about me
I'll still worry about you
And you, and you, and you

The harvest moon under duress
Bodies react to the stress
Castanets and suet
A Newport Festival hi hat
Make haste in the copper fields
I long for titanium white
But cadmiums put up a fight
Moocows, a haunted house
Bury my head in the ground
Make ends meet in the copper fields
So I push against the season
With the poison of not letting go
The chestnut tree sheds with finesse
But she loves the aster the best
Moonshine and apple wine
A Telluride star's slide
Meet me in the copper fields
While I push against the season
With the poison of not letting go
By thinking of things you could understand them [x8]

Romulus and Remus
03:19
|

|
One time when I had a dream of you
It rose and fell like a buoy
Like without form it ebbed and it flowed
I realized it weren't real
That time when I had a dream of you
Oh, like Remus and Romulus
The she-wolf is my nurse
What I knew in the morning
I still believed at night
She is my nurse and shepherd too
When I die, when they bury me
I'll learn to feel, feel whole again
To feel the stone just beneath my heel
And sleep through time and space
When I die, when they bury me
