  • 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
