Laying down in bed alone for swimming in my head
Turn off the radio, set the alarm clock
Pray that I can fall asleep
I woke up today after years of pushing this fight
Cried until the day came to an end
Didn’t even write down my feelings
You drove thousands to get away
Walked into the grocery store
Tried to find a little to make my heart soar
This is what it’s come to for me
A bag of kale, good intent
Now I’m here, staring at the stove
Wishin’ for the life that life that we made home
You drove thousands to get away
When you left and my walls caved in
Exposed a faulty frame
You left your mandolin
You drove thousands to get away
We took a long drive right next to the lake
The sun was setting as we hit the south side
The air was cold the water was frozen
Throwing rocks to break the ice
Is it true that I’m going crazy
That you are lost or are we just lazy
I'd drive thousands to find a way
You drove thousands to get away
When you left and my walls caved in
Exposed a faulty frame
You left your mandolin
You drove thousands to get away
You drove thousands to get away
You left your mandolin

Difference Between

You read books, I watch TV
You like the dishes done before bed
I do mine in the morning
You like quiet, I sing out loud
You know each and every dollar you spend
I only notice when I am out
You like your coffee black, I like mine with cream
There was too much too much difference oh
Too much too much difference between you and me
There was too much too much difference oh
Too much too much difference between you and me
We couldn't keep ourselves happy
You drive the speed limit, I always go 80
We tried to find the balance but you couldn't change me
There was too much too much difference oh
Too much too much difference between you and me
There was too much too much difference oh
Too much too much difference between you and me
We gave up fighting, no more trying, now we know
We stopped crying, no more lying, now we know
Too much
Too much too much difference between you and me
There was too much too much difference oh
Too much too much difference between you and me

Gravity

You were brave enough
The earth trembled, your heart shattered
This time you fell apart
Gave up trying, you started, you started battles
Gravity is hard
Rest your head don’t look down
In existential dread we drown
The waves you see rely on gravity
You thought you were safe enough
The abyss stole your knowing
Drained the love from your heart
Whispered in your ear the world is ending, feel it ending
Sinister and smart
Rest your head don’t look down
In existential dread we drown
The waves you see rely on gravity
All around you are edges, sharp edges, promise of pain
Red sun over falling waters gravity remains
Rest your head don’t look down
In existential dread we drown
The waves you see rely on gravity
You and and me and gravity
You’re not alone

Birdlike

There’s a picture in a pile in my room
It reminds me how you never said I love you
I came alive when you touched my thigh
I gave you power, you gave me reasons to cry
I wanna know that, I wanna feel that, I wanna know that finally you are gone
I wanna know that, I wanna feel that, I wanna know that finally you are gone
You tied me down once, you always wanted to try
I let you take me there, thought it would make you mine
The grip on my wrists is still holding me
I told you to go and you left me chained in memories
I wanna know that, I wanna feel that, I wanna know that finally you are gone
I wanna know that, I wanna feel that, I wanna know that finally you are gone
I wanna know that, I wanna feel that, I wanna know that finally you are gone
I wanna know that, I wanna feel that, I wanna know that finally you are gone
Wrapped up cocooned in my mind
Grow wings, butterfly
So strong, that I am birdlike
I wanna know that, I wanna feel that, I wanna know that you are gone
I wanna know that, I wanna feel that, I wanna know that you are gone
I wanna know that, I wanna feel that, I wanna know that you are gone
