Burnt Days 01:46
Burnt days on the side of the room I've got nothing to want, and anything to do Six more hours and then I might choose Oops, I did it again Just wanted to talk, exhale like a wind Then I spoiled the movie You'd never need explaining to get it I know this How about it then?

Hologram 03:55
Will I run out of ways To spell Chelsea before I give in I don't know your name, but I know you Better than most of your friends They were one verse into "Towers" when I met you You were busy talking How to live, how best to die How to mine your share of the sapphire sky And I said, hot damn, hologram, what's your California I gotta know where you wanna go Wristband summer-camp all those public parks Marked up booze and torn-up shoes Your parents' tent, our living room Just don't say when the lights go you do too The frost visits my roof most every Morning these days daylight fades Falling back won't help me sleep Much less stay awake I count my seconds by the day Spent all my sapphire, things got gray Times are changing anyways Won't you come and catch me Hot damn, hologram, what's your California I gotta know where you wanna go Wristband summer camp all those public parks Marked up booze and torn-up shoes Your parents' tent, our living room Just don't say when the lights go you do too Hot damn, hologram, what's your California I gotta know where you wanna go Wristband summer camp all those public parks Hot damn, hologram, what's your California I gotta know where you wanna go Wristband summer camp all those public parks Marked up booze and torn-up shoes Your parents' tent, our living room Just don't say when the lights go you do too Sweet California, what's that mean to you Sweet California, oh, where'd you run off to

Spiderplant 04:23
Baby steps tonight Round and round We circle tight Powder glow Climbing through the window Dusty air Showing off the light Rain or shine, we'll be together Tell me all that you wanna see And we'll grow just like a spider plant Wind wherever we wanna be And you You gotta believe me Tonight I'm driving to your house We'll pull all the shutters down For now We'll glow a little brighter We can work it out Headless grass New stains Years from now We can say just how they fade Words make space Time goes one way Dawning age Feeling just the same Rain or shine, we'll be together Tell me all that you wanna see And we'll grow just like a spider plant Wind wherever we wanna be And you You gotta believe me Tonight I'm driving to your house We'll pull all the shutters down For now We'll glow a little brighter We can work it out We can work it out Rain or shine, we'll be together Tell me all that you wanna see And we'll grow just like a spider plant Wind wherever we wanna be And you You gotta believe me And you Well, you're gonna see

Backseat 05:15
Warm blood, soft touch Never know it's there until you know you can never have enough It's a sharp knife, sneak attack Love is the horizon till it stabs you in the back And you lean into it Yeah, you lean into it now And you lean into it Yeah, you lean into it now I'm making a pile of all my things in the backseat You're welcome to hide there anytime you like Stowaway like a renegade sworn to never change her ways Always stubborn, always on my side Then I'll find you there along the road When I reach for my coat, don't let go Cars fly, speed of light Broken line, four lanes wide Your hands in mine, our knuckles white It's a sure fall, sudden flight Four wide eyes, no time to fight Sheer drop incline, sky's borderline And you lean into it Yeah, you lean into it now And you lean into it Yeah, you lean into it now I'm making a pile of all my things in the backseat You're welcome to hide there anytime you like Stowaway like a renegade sworn to never change her ways Always stubborn, always on my side Then I'll find you there along the road When I reach for my coat don't let go I'm making a pile of all my things in the backseat You're welcome to hide there anytime you like Stowaway like a renegade sworn to never change her ways Always stubborn, always on my side Then I'll find you there along the road When I reach for my coat Don't let go

So Slowly 02:54
Stuff yourself along The cushions on my couch I want to feel you breathe I want to let you out We can go So slowly we can go So slowly we can go So slowly Drive us all around The same four streets you know I want to hear you shout Don't you dare hold out We can go So slowly we can go So slowly we can go So slowly Pep-talk myself out Of my front door, I swear how I never think of you But I'm still wrapped about Honestly, we can go So slowly we can go So slowly we can go So slowly

Draft Dodger 04:52
I have steamrolled six towns this week Kicking pebbles all the way home World so big, world so small Terrified of it all Most days oh Today's like anything And of course it rained And of course it rained Throw back all your long lost whims They work like Novocaine dial down your mind Oh, don't feel a thing We have known for some time How all this could go You and me, fish in the sea As I lay here dying And of course it rained And of course it rained Ten and two to the keep away from you Hauled it westward to that double blue view Five under the whole way out Spots populate the ground Cause of course it rained And of course it rained Cause I'm the storm You're the sunshine in my wake I'm the highway racer, You're that one car in the way And I'm the list You're the thing I'm trying to make I'm a draft dodger, But you're a fight I'm gonna take Cause I'm the storm You're the sunshine in my wake I'm the highway racer, You're that one car in the way And I'm the list You're the thing I'm trying to make I'm a draft dodger, But you're a fight A fight I'm gonna take And of course it rained And of course it rained Some days it's sideways It's a give, it's a take

Soak 02:18
Wafting Spinning through the airwaves Moments, till I dissipate I'm just floundering, Tossed about the water Steady wringing This body out To soak again And again And again And again

Stuck 03:50
Suppose that time turned back Light rushed homeward rivers Climbed their way uphill Candles fed on flame Something in my bones would Know when you were close Two strangers in the room I could swear I know you Blue sky, midnight eyes glow Soft and heavy runners Break through ribbons Daylight through your gold strands Beaming backlit arms out Pincer movement lockdown Pillow faced with my arm numb behind your head Wake up drowsy with cheeks red and I know I'll be stuck Right there in the room Out of body, concrete ankles, nowhere fast yeah stuck. Yeah, I'll always see you just like Deadbeat car this two-tongued Mess we are as sweet beaked Flower diving green wings, nest behind our ribs High speed red cell road trips Hairs on end like wool-knits Call me up, I'm racing, fourth wall to the floor Concrete webbing to your door and I know I'll be stuck Right there in the room Out of body, concrete ankles, nowhere fast yeah stuck Yeah, I'll always see you just like this So melt me into your walls Lace me all through your shoes Keep me there with you I know I'll be stuck Right there in the room Out of body, concrete ankles, nowhere fast yeah stuck Yeah, I'll always see you just like I know I'll be stuck Right there in the room Out of body, concrete ankles, nowhere fast yeah stuck Yeah, I'll always see you just like this Oh, I'll always see you just like this Oh, I'll always see you just like this

Juniper 01:11
10.
Whistling, two hours from New Mexico Your lips, a landing pad, oh how I love to Touch down, four sneakers to the ground We soak up too much of the sun But when you laugh You give it back Grapefruit skin and lunar eyes Tidal pools, long goodbyes You and I, you and I, you and I Open road, driving slow What's the hurry, we're at home You and I, you and I, you and I Oh yeah Lean back, let the wind whip right across your forearm Cupped hands, a fighter jet, a bird, an old song Swims out of the speakers, washing toe to ahead Barefoot driving A two palm hold That sky blue coat Grapefruit skin and lunar eyes Tidal pools, long goodbyes You and I, you and I, you and I Open road, driving slow What's the hurry, we're at home You and I, you and I, you and I Oh yeah Grapefruit skin and lunar eyes Tidal pools, long goodbyes You and I, you and I, you and I Open road, driving slow What's the hurry, we're at home You and I, you and I, you and I Grapefruit skin and lunar eyes Tidal pools, long goodbyes You and I, you and I, you and I Open road, driving slow What's the hurry, we're at home You and I, you and I, you and I
