What It Is That I Am Feeling Now...
"On Your Porch"
I was on your porch, The smoke sank into my skin, So I came inside to be with you, We talked all night, About everything you could imagine, 'Cause come the morning, I'll be gone, And as our eyes start to close, I turn to you and I let you know, That I love you. Well, my dad was sick, My mom she cared for him, Her loving nursed him back to life, And me, I ran, I couldn't even look at him, For fear I'd have to say goodbye, And as I start to leave, He grabs me by the shoulder and he tells me, "Whats left to lose? You've done enough, And if you fail then you fail but not to us, 'Cause these last three years, I know they have been hard, But now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun, Even if its alone." So now here I sit, In a hotel off of Sunset My thoughts bounce off Sam's guitar, And thats the way its been, Ever since we were kids, but now, Now, we've got something to prove, And I, I can see their eyes, Then tell me something, can they see mine? 'Cause whats left to lose? I've done enough, And if I fail then I fail but I gave it a shot, 'Cause these last three years I know they have been hard, But now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun, Even if it's alone, (Even if it's alone) Even if it's alone. I was on your porch last night, The smoke, it sank into my skin.
"Transatlanticism"
the atlantic was born today and i'll tell you how:
the clouds above opened up and let it out.
i was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
when the water filled every hole.
and thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
making islands where no island should go.
oh no.
those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
i thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
the rhythm of my footsteps crossing flood lands to your door have been silenced forever more.
the distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
it seems farther than ever before
oh no.
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
-instrumental break -
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
so come on, come on
so come on, come on
so come on, come on
so come on, come on
