Falling in Love at the End of the World
Someone on the radio said something about the Sun going out forever a month or so
But we all knew the end was near
nothing to be done from here
so I shake my head and off to bed I go
I drink as I lie down and the water dribbles from my mouth
I want to count the seconds between thoughts of you
Nobody gaslights me like me as I hold my breath and count to three like
There's no way you're thinking of me too
Trees are shaking, windows breaking, and
who am I to tell them no?
But I wish that we had longer, I wish that I were stronger
I wish a million things before we have to go
But we are here now, us two
Not too proud to say aloud I want just this and nothing more to do
I'll make a bed with you
And I’ll rest my head on you
We'll lose sleep in a better way, pretend that nothing matters but today
It's pretty shitty timing but then when did shitty timing
Ever make a goddamn difference anyway
I think it's okay
But in the moments I'm alone I'll wonder
whether I've been living the right way
But we are here now, us two
Not too proud to say aloud I want just this and nothing more to do
I'll make a bed with you
And I’ll rest my head on you
We'll lose sleep in a better way, pretend that nothing matters but today
Now pieces of the sky are coming down
The ground is cracking open and everywhere around me
I can see the lights all fading into grey
People on the street are asking me if I've been living the right way
How do you know if you've been living the right way?
We are here now, us two
And I need you to know before we go I'm glad I spent the end with you
I'll make a bed with you
And I’ll rest my head on you
And hold you while the whole world falls away
And even when it’s ashes there'll be part of me that wishes we could stay

Nobody Is You
Pacing and tracing the house like dusting a bone
Letters and trinkets and years never sleeping alone
I won't wake you
Too soon for the new day to take you
I need you say you won't leave me but
I can't make you
I didn't know, I didn’t know
how could I know I didn't know
I was wasting borrowed time
Didn't know we had the kind of love that you could turn off on a dime
When did you climb down?
Swim to safety just to watch me drown?
Now I'm alone and I deserve to say I'm through I can't make the sound
Cause
Nobody is you
Nobody is you
Nobody is you
I know I have to let you go
I know I know I know I know
I'm trying to
But Nobody is you
Begged til I was dust
Cried until I rusted all through
Fractured my mind pushing so hard to find any reason it couldn’t be true
And who am I to you
That this was something you could do
Salting over everything we grew
Impossible to hold on to
Nobody is you Nobody is you
Nobody is you Nobody is you
Suddenly I had so much to say
Suddenly all I could see was you
What if we're only ever what we made
Living with all that we didn't do
Nobody is you Nobody is you
Nobody is you Nobody is you
I don't believe in soul mates or in scarcity
Who you are to me is all I know that's true
And Nobody is you
Nobody is you
And we'll take our time
God knows I need time too
But Nobody is you

Flood
We stood facing each other
In a flood that was rising with each passing day
And we never took cover
We never imagined that we might be carried away
I tried so desperately to find
A space in between our two lines that we drew in the sand
And I held out my hand
Refusing to see what was true
Hoping you'd change your mind
And I stood
In water that lapped at my heels
And I could
feel our fate as it started to seal
Soon the water was up to my waist and I
Looked for a change in the pain on your face and I
Knew all at once I couldn't keep making you cry
Soon the water rose past my head and I
Don't quite remember the things that we said
But I woke the next day and the current had pulled you away
Scream underwater and watch your voice drift in bubbles away from you
Try to breathe with no air
I wake up five or six times a night
And I try to remember why this was the right thing to do
How can it be right if I'm losing you?

No Contact
I'm so glad to hear that you're not sleeping
Was tickled pink to hear you're feeling blue
And I was thrilled to know
That you were finally let go
Cause every day is better without you
So nice of you to offer an apology
Now that consequence has fucked you in the face
You wanna get it off your chest
So you can lay your guilt to rest
But no amount of sorry grants you grace
I hope that all your groceries expire
I hope there's always something wrong with your tv
I hope you're under the weather, always and forever
Hope you live in fear that everyone will see you like I see
I hope you're never half of who you hope to be
Raise a glass now to a bitter man
Can't outrun the things he's done,
though that appears to be the plan
With crocodile tears and fabricated fears
He'll play his game
Still just the same
Beg me to forget
So you can live without regret
Blood from a stone
You made your bed, so lie in it alone
I hope that all your groceries expire
I hope there's always something wrong with your tv
I hope you're under the weather, always and forever
I hope you live in fear that everyone will see you like I see
I hope you're never half of who you hope to be
I hope the worst things in this world always come to you in threes
I hope you're walking in the park and lightning strikes the trees
I hope things start to turn around and then life cuts you at the knees
I hope that when it does you'll think of me

Reinventing Blue
I was drunker than I wish I’d been
And you were even lower than I knew
Most times it doesn’t matter what we’d rather
There’s only so much dreaming we can do
Been waking up too late for the morning
Sleeping off a special kind of shame
I’ve found it’s easier than I’d imagined
To tell a lie and make it feel the same
I get high, just shy of an emotion
I can’t cry the way I used to do
Stranded at the bleeding edge of lonesome
Darlin I’ve been reinventing blue
When stayin has been weighin on you heavy
But leaving it too soon would be a crime
hard feelings stitch the days together
And feeling’s getting harder all the time
I get high, just shy of an emotion
I can’t cry the way I used to do
Stranded at the bleeding edge of lonesome
Darlin I’ve been reinventing blue
Swear that if the phone could only bargain
I’d spend a fortune just to hear it ring
But even if you called me I know good and goddamned well
There’s nothin you could say to change a thing
I get high, just shy of an emotion
And I can’t cry the way I used to do
Stranded at the bleeding edge of lonesome
Darlin I
I get high, just shy of a emotion
And I’d still try if you just asked me to
Stranded at the bleeding edge of lonesome
Darlin I’ve been reinventing blue

Lean Into It
Have you ever been swallowed in blue light
Felt a rhythm in your marrow
Have you ever seen her like you did tonight
Swayed as though you never weighed a thing
Screamed before you even tried to sing
She handed you a drink and you grinned
Lights pounding
The sound of all your doubt drowned out by the drums
And what’s this shitty band? I don’t mind, cause I see music in your
eyes
And is it alright if I touch your hand a little?
Let’s get far too drunk to remember there was a reason we were
Sober for a minute
Cause I’m way too far in it to turn back now
The way applauding sounds like rain
Makes her happy in a way she can’t explain
She makes me wanna fall
I saw a boy throw himself into the thrall
Like the undulating bodies weren’t anything at all
I heard a man recall a story of a girl who didn’t care
But I just wanna run my fingers through your hair
Lean into it, lean into it
God she looks so beautiful
Lean into it, lean into it
And sing the song that’s playing
Na na na na na na (2x)
Let’s get far too drunk to remember there was a reason we were sober for a minute
Cause I’m way too far in it to turn back now
Now now now now
And is it alright if I touch your hand a little now
Now now now now now
And god, she looks so beautiful
