Wailing 02:13
Speak my name You’re worth it
2.
Saw you speakin’ on it Runnin’ runnin’ round it Thought you’d never leave Now I’m runnin out the door Just looking for you I’m sure you are the one for me Fell in love with all of it Well not completely—just the half of it Surely I’d be lookin if there was a one to see Now I’m bending into it Thought you were the one that must be circling my door Guess it’s not but just the light on the porch Want to analyze what I’ve been waiting for But it is hard enough to get all straight inside my head Will you ever see the bend? Now if you were the one If you were the one Would you bending into me? Now if we had enough And if you were the one Would you be finding some way just to leave? But I can’t Make the bend No Saw you in the back seat you were forming circles Now I don’t wanna leave

All Wrong 04:57
I was born on a Sunday in July, on time I relive it some years of my life Empty corners and a bucket of shoes, I refuse To act like I’m not living like I’m running from the truth I can go anywhere in my persuasion And it wasn’t my intention To go and test out all your patience I thought I had it right but now I’m all wrong I’ve been spending about a quarter of my precious time Convincing myself that my life is more than a straight line to the end times I can go anywhere in my persuasion And it wasn’t my intention To go and test out all your patience I thought I had it right but now I’m all wrong

I’ve waited all My life To find the line I’ve taken all My time To find the line Heavy sway Out on michigan Blend memories in your head And pieces of granite You said you found your way Between summer shifts And my mind drifts I said I’m glad that you found it I’ve been alright Wading into the fire And wondering what it will be like To see it all through, to see the other side It can’t be too easy to find the line Stepping up on the long ride And finding comfort in the words of others So I asked her do you ever get your nose ring stuck in things? She said, “not often but thanks for asking” Such is life To find the line Such is life

Urgency 02:34
8 months past and we’re still stuck in it Thrown down on games since I moved and I still suck a bit Been wanting to get out, maybe take a trip I’m feeling urgent It’s coming out like a faucet now The mist missed us again It’s coming down like the rain fall south So I’m still drying out I’m calling out for you now Haven’t left my house in a couple weeks Took the dog out and smoked some weed Been trying to get along with my place in things I’m feeling the urgency Hair getting long now so I’ll cut it short Hands getting shaky I’ll need some support Head sippin hazy I’m still lazy in dread I’m feeling urgent I’m feeling urgent I’m feeling urgent
6.
Late Wait up for me I’ll take you home Wait Isn’t there a way You asked me to take care of you Sweet Like your lips And that coffee breath Red Kissing me On the cheek On the patio You asked me to take care of you Lake Ripples in the water Creases in your clothes Scene Set like your speed In the falling snow Don’t know why it has come to this When I miss more than I can remember Still with no regret I hope you’re the one who forgets

Chicago Ave 04:05
And it starts with me Hold your eyes on As I shake free By decree I have no rights Keep the coverings Held your hands in mine Feigned attempts at sunrise Told me what you dreamt of last night Thrown covers off And walked outside And it starts with me Keep your watch on I’ll be racing To the trees Been feelin’ reckless I’m learning to catch me Picked your eyes out in the crowd Said I love you but it’s too loud Now I’m watching the sea Of people parting Your walk towards me And it starts with me I can’t love you If I can’t love me
8.
Gotta get on through Wisconsin Autumn’s barely holding on No I’m not on some ransom I can leave when I want I didn’t choose to be romantic I’m just trying to find a home And I’m scared of the world often There’s so many lives that aren’t our own Gotta get out to the east coast Riding the tide of another one Yeah I’m used to all the moving But I’m tired of the run But it’s such good fortune That I get to hold this pause Restarting with the turning world, forever on And if I’m not what I wanted Then sometimes that’s all I’ve got And to make the best of situations Is to accept them for what they’re not I’m trying to be more grateful More worthy of a cause Today I’m taking in the rain’s growth Embracing the great pause

C U Free 01:57
I want to see you free I want to see you free In times like these I want to see you free I want to see you break From the shackles of yesterday With arms opaque And humanity embraced I want to see you grow Out from behind your shadow I want to see you upset And learning from it I want to see you free I want to see you free With all of my being I want to see you free
