You're feeling homesick again
But I've lost my home since you left
We used to ride the wrong way past the gardens between 9th & 10th
I'm feeling helpless again
I'm blind & I'm taking a swing
Is there a word for the way disappointment poisons everything
There's nothing more treacherous than
The sound of our own loneliness
We have to lie in the dirt of our graves every now & again
A heart encased in ice & snow
Says, "Is this all the love I'll ever know"
A chill that reaches your bones from years ago
But that's how it is with a well
Whatever is taken refills
You have to believe that no matter the loss you can always rebuild

Baby I'd wait forever
For something you could never
Hold like a snowflake in your hand
A lock that never finds its key
A heart that's always out of reach
The future only knows its path
You said, "Put your trust in someone else for once
All the dreams you have will return to dust"
I'd rather be alone than be with someone
Who searches for the end before it can begin
Where are the snows of yesteryear
Whiteouts of valentines & fear
A smile that makes the winter brave
Someone will always want you
With more than I can offer
I'll always love you just the same
You said, "Sometimes you just have to find your one
All the things you want are within your touch"
I'd rather be alone than be with someone
Who searches for the end before it can begin

All The Light You See

All the light you see is from the past
Eyeshadow that shimmers like broken glass
It takes an Intervention to get you through the night
I guess everyone has their own lullaby
Lies we tell ourselves but all we want is to believe
I hope that you're as happy as you make it seem
Oh ***** I know that you'll never hear this
We're getting older & it's only more dangerous
The People We Were show up when we least expect
Demanding who betrayed whom & who's going to make amends
I'm sorry for all the ways I've let you down
I hope that you're as happy as you make it sound
Oh ***** I know that you'll never hear this
We can only go as far as our hearts can lift
For a while I swore it was never better than this
A February as forgotten & stolen as a kiss

You're sailing over the ocean
Aegeus drowned in the sea
Blue that runs deep as devotion
Unknown as the gulf in between
A shared cigarette between lovers
One miracle finds itself in another
Eyes that burn bright as a bonfire
Burying faces in hands
A light that sings like a choir
Footprints that never see land
Grief that's as still as the summer
One miracle finds itself in another
Again & again & again & again & again
You're sailing over an ocean
Forever across a blue green
Guided by stars in slow motion
You're never lost if you believe
When one miracle finds another
We bring out the diamonds we keep in each other
