Do You Love Me Lately?

She wore her t-shirt inside out
I must’ve worn her down
‘Cause we danced in her kitchen to all of Blue
And she let me stick around
And she let me stick around
I gave her pictures of all my friends
To help her keep things straight
She never got the hang of it
Even though her memory’s great
Oh, I know her memory’s great
Look at me
I’m taking it badly
Nose to my knees
I’m wondering madly
You say you didn’t love me then
But do you love me lately?
I can’t spell the word
So I’ll sound it out
It’s like being a flightless bird
When she took a plane outta town
When she took a plane out
Look at me
I’m taking it badly
Nose to my knees
I’m wondering madly
You say you didn’t love me then
But do you love me lately?
I am sweeping under my bed
Whatever’s hiding, whatever’s left
I am ready for some rest
Sleeping on a clean sheet again
Look at me
I’m taking it badly
Nose to my knees
I’m wondering madly
You say you didn’t love me then
Look at me
I’m taking it badly
Nose to my knees
I’m wondering madly
You say you didn’t love me then
You say you didn’t love me then
You say you didn’t love me then
But do you love me lately?

I Know (feat. Cathalyn)

I hope you see me soon, soon
Lazy lonely afternoons
What to do, what to do?
Wishing, but never guessing
‘Cause I know you, I know you
I know, I know, I know it’s true
Blankets and coffee
Cover me and take these burdens off me
Who cares what the world expects
When we are lip to lip and neck to neck?
Kissing like it’s ending
I don’t know if it will or when
But I know, I know, I know
I’ll see you again
We belong, we belong, we do
You know my soul and my soul knows you
We belong, we belong
How could a love like this be wrong?
We belong, we belong, we do
You know my soul and my soul knows you
We belong, we belong
Love is never wrong
We belong, we belong, we do
You know my soul and my soul knows you
We belong, we belong
I’m sick of letting go when I just want to hold on
We belong

I Don't Know Anything

Look at that moth in the streetlamp glow
It's a shooting star if you blink at it slow
You got out the car and pointed below
Roads like rivers of people we'll never know
But who would want to know us anyway
I laugh but I laugh at everything you say
I woke up pushing through
some kind of white noise when you called
Going on and on in the parking lot
Of some strip mall
You are the break of dawn
That hit me in a chapel Hall
You know everyone and everything as a wall
But I don't know anything at all
I don't know anything at all
You gave me some money
And a night of my own
I said thank you a lot, I'll spend it alone
I feel years behind the people
In the places I go
So much I could say, so much I should know
Who would want to see me anyway
You laugh but you laugh at everything I say
I woke up pushing through
Some kind of white noise when you called
Going on and on in the parking lot
Of some strip mall
You are the break of dawn
A spotlight in a concert hall
You know everyone and everything as a wall
But I don't know anything at all
I don't know anything at all
We're up in a plane looking down
The ants in our floorboards
Are people in their little towns
I don't know how they stay
Don't know what they found
We don't really keep much of anything
But alcohol around
There's got to be a number we can call
There has gotta be a number we can call
There's got to be a number we can call
But I don't know anything at all
I don't know anything at all

Boats

You will always be
Good enough for me
Good enough for me
All the time, people, places
All the tears run down our faces
They just slip right through our fingers relentlessly
All my life, I’ve never counted on anything
Not much I know to be true
But you are steady deep blue
I count on loving you
No lines to read between
Nothing that can’t be seen
It’s all alright by you and alright by me
All the words and embraces
All the pieces of the life we’re making
They just fill a cup that’s already full and heavy
All my life, I’ve never counted on anything
Not much I know to be true
But you are steady deep blue
I count on loving you
I’ll start building a boat
Late into every night
To sail us both away from the passing of time
See the waves, constellations
All the moonlight on our faces
The kind of place where no one ever leaves
All my life, I’ve never known much about anything
But I know you
You are my steady deep blue
I count on loving you

Static

Remember when you were in my head
Like that record that you played me
Every night before bed
Didn’t like the dreams it gave me
So I scratched it all to death
But you said it added character
Turned it up and showed your friends
Clear as a bell on a cabin wall
Calling me home when the sun goes down
And the chorus falls
I don’t need your 3am commiserations
There’s a hook for every lonely minute
On this radio station
What were we doing on that couch
No one in that room was gonna figure anybody out
You can learn to love the edges
But they’ll always cut you down
All those classic country songs you hate
I sleep with them turned up loud
Clear as a bell on a cabin wall
Calling me home when the sun goes down
And the chorus falls
I don’t need your 3am commiserations
There’s a hook for every lonely minute
On this radio
I don’t want to love a ghost town
Don’t want to love a specter
I’m the bright blue light
Cutting in on the pastor
Bright blue light
Blinding me through the plastic
Keeping me up all night
Breaking us up like static
On the radio

Mary, I Love Her
04:08

I do not have to be good
Not that I believe that anybody could be
If you’re crawling on a gravel floor
Who’s the nice behavior for?
I like the rivers in my head
Indigo and ruby red
The water I’ve drawn and the blood I’ve bled
Have I simply visited?
I took a walk this morning
Listen to whatever’s talking
Mary, I love her
Mary, I love her
Sister forest, mother tree
You are all my family
The table is long and the cup is deep
Here is my place in everything
I took a walk this morning
Listen to whatever’s talking
Mary, I love her
Mary, I love her
Have the water, have the wine
I am the fruit, I am the vine
Unparabled, unsung divine
Drink me ‘til you’re satisfied
Eat me, it’ll change your life
Drink me ‘til you’re satisfied
Drink me, drink me
Drink me, drink

My lips are sealed
You know how raining turns to pouring
I'm up in the rooftops
Walking toward the morning
A blanket fog
Drying in the red sunrise
Attention hog
How long can I shut my eyes
Never been worse
Never been better
Sleepwalking in the strangest weather
Passed him on a dead-end street
Strolling with a shadow
Some kind of angel hanging on his elbow
Take it down
Watch the last step on the stairs
It's getting too dark now
To guess with your feet round there
Let's dodge the draft
Keep low, away from the windows
You have to laugh at all of the ways that
The wind can blow
Never been worse
Never been better
Sleepwalking in the strangest weather
Passed him on a dead-end street
Strolling with a shadow
Some kind of angel hanging on his elbow
A grain of salt
With the wine you've been saving
Could make you disappear tomorrow baby
This is just one of infinite desolate places
Where anything could be
Never been worse
Never been better
Sleepwalking in the strangest weather
Passed him on a dead-end street
Strolling with a shadow
Some kind of angel hanging on his elbow
Elbow

Comfort

Brushed him off my teeth
‘Cause I needed to be alone
You sing the words you want, I’ll sing the ones I know
All but most of the time I know where I want to go
But I’ve been closing my eyes, don’t know where we are
And I can’t tell you if that moon is new or old
You can see me anytime
I guess I’m your neon sign
And I don’t mind singing everything on mine
I can be your comfort or your blinding light
Tell me how you want me to leave you tonight
Boy from the valley
And a girl from Ohio
They burned like angels together
They thought that playing house could make a home
Oh, is this how the story goes?
All my waking hours are blurry pictures
And I’m falling asleep to static on the radio
You can see me anytime
I guess I’m your neon sign
And I don’t mind singing everything on mine
I can be your comfort or your blinding light
Tell me how you want me to leave you tonight
I’ll leave you to call whoever you need to call
If you want it to be that way
The bridge will be out all winter long
So I’ll go home the longest way
And I will tell you it’ll all be alright
If that’s the way you want me to leave you
