box wine
03:57

sidewalk moves so slow
check my watch hands twitching, i know
people slide, buildings breathing in
it’s always you when i’m sleeping
pour a glass, make a quip
this box wine tastes like shit
let your hair down, it’s fine
all we’ve got is time
i’ve been waiting on you so long
while my head keeps spinning on
and the phone stays silent
i’ve been waiting on you so long
and the tv static’s on
and my thoughts stay flying
hallways doors and chairs
put my headphones on, i’m there
i remember that smile
oh, but it’s been awhile
just a drop in the ocean
washed away with the morning tide
let your hair down girl, it’s fine
all we’ve got is time
pour a glass, make it quick
bartender i might be sick
maybe it’s something in my past
maybe it’s that nothing lasts
i’ve been waiting on you so long
while my head keeps spinning on
and the phone stays silent
i’ve been waiting on you so long
and the tv static’s on
and my thoughts stay flying
oh to find you
i’m flying
and the water’s rising

nothing wrong

i didn’t do anything wrong (this time)
i didn’t tell you nothing was wrong then start a fight (at least since july)
i don’t understand why you would want to leave
all that i said was your backside looked kinda fat in those jeans
i didn’t do anything wrong, you know it’s true
i don’t know why this little song ain’t getting through
if you’d used your ears you would know that i’m not a tool
cut out those tears, i was joking, i know you’re not a fool
have you ever thought to step into my shoes
raising kids must’ve been the most simple thing to choose
well my life ain’t roses, the company takes and takes
if you had to do what i do all you’d do is break
i’m sick of that look when you tell me to take out the trash
‘cause i’m four beers in and all i want to see is that… something crass
why don’t you smile more? you’re lucky that you have me, can’t you see?
a whole lot of guys in my shoes would just up and leave
i won’t let you say goodbye
i’m just a romantical kind of guy
you make me so crazy i might just burn down the house
i don’t know what i would do without you little mouse
---
little mouse
where did you go
little mouse

long after our voices fade away
our bodies committed into the clay
and the land betrays all our hard work
will somebody hold a candle for
will mountains and trees praise the lord
for the way we wasted our turn
no one’s gonna stop us now
we’ll run it right into the ground
what a way to go down
a leader of men put a gun to his head
a dog only danced to the grateful dead
did you find what you were looking for
blueberry passionfruit kale goji sun
the model of fitness, you can’t be undone
i’ll choose it all except the right door
no one’s gonna stop me now
i’ll run this fucker right into the ground
what a way to go down
long after my voice fades away
my body committed into the clay
and the land forgets all my hard work
did somebody know i tried my best
did i remember now is all that we get
will the wind say i wasted my turn
no one’s gonna stop this now
the question’s not when but it’s how
keep your feet on the ground

nowhere to go, nothing to see
no light at the end of the tunnel
just a train barrelling down to the end of the track
well it’s all that we got to look on
the tune is a part of me
the tune is a part of you
when there’s nothing left to listen to
america is what america does
we’ll repeat the mistakes of our fathers
but the world is much more than america does
it’s a freedom that always rings true
the tune is a part of me
the tune is a part of you
when there’s nothing left to hold on to
there’s nothing to mourn, no time for tears
stand up or get out of the way
this song ain’t for you, or maybe it is
what’s the wind but the air in our lungs
the tune is a part of me
the tune is part of you
listen close
they had it wrong, they had it right
are you done? you can’t take it with you
make the most of your life while it is light
take the song, let it carry you home
the tune is a part of me
the tune is a part of you
let the tune be a part of me
may the tune be a part of you
it’s all you need
it’s all we know

lest there be a road
you won’t follow down
lest your path’s alone
rapt in shimmering cloud
heed the willow’s sway
while tendrils go unseen
feel the river’s strength
from forty odd ravines
all the bends and hollows differ
all the journeys are the same
lest there be a time
you should see me there
lest i seem astranged
matching pace in err
greet the ground below
earth and stone and grass
for you it has in tow
and those it carried past
all the cracks and mendings differ
all the endings are the same
lest there be a road
you won’t follow down
lest your path’s alone
know that i’m around
let the ravens free
light and quickened pace
cool breeze at your back
sunlight on your face
all the hills and valleys differ
all the lives we lead the same
though we intersect so briefly
still together we remain
