oh baby
ive been thinking about you all night
and the way that you said to me goodbye
the grip on my neck
the way that you said
ill be seeing you soon
just let the earth spin and ill be back like the moon
oh baby
ive been thinking about you all day long
and the way that you said to me
time moves on and on and on and on
but the gardens are growing more slowly these days
like rhododendron i just hope that they boom again in the spring
oh baby
ive been thinking about you all week long
oh baby ive been thinking about how i walked you home
stumbling in the ice and snow
now im wondering where we'll go
with you grip on my neck
they way that you said
ill be seeing you soon
just let the earth spin and ill be back like the moon

at the bottom of the stairs
i kissed you there
the warmth went to my hands
the side of the house
where we would sneak out
the elms hanging over head
keeping us cover
as we padded along pins
of brown and red
hiding us from yr mother
as we discovered eachother
the elms
////
ill watch you fall up the stairs
ill watch your hands hold onto their shoulders
like the gums in my mouth that hold onto my teeth
im brushing away the only smile that i need
slowly but surely
the habits that i have
erode the resolve of my heart
i read about love in a book
i read about love on your face
////
hey, can i ask you something?
how do you want to be remembered?

houses, gardens
05:32
|

|
i hear them singing quite loudly
a few streets down
about gardens and lack of sleep
and about this week
about how two years have passed by in minutes
and how the mountains and fields
show no age
about gardens and lack of sleep
and about this week
i can hear them through the walls
and i can tell that your face is turning red
i heard the bell ring 1, 2, 3 times
the sun, the moon, the air
underneath your lungs
you will always find me there

lived in my car
05:59

|
i woke up lying in the grass
in the shadow of the roof in the back
i looked down at my shoes
black and white, worn through the sole
from walking the sidewalk by your house
when i'd come from a few hours out
i'd drive all night to see your face
and do my best to just stay awake
ill never forget
the past few months
as the months that i spent
staring at the back of your head
while you slept
i still feel your hands on my chest
and the way they seemed to say to me
i want you 'til we're beautifully weathered
like two stones eroding together
its all just a matter of time
now im lost like those roads id drive on
just so i could
stare at the back of your head while you slept
i still feel your hands on my chest
and the way they seemed to say to me
i want you til we're beautifully weathered
like two stones eroding together
its all just a matter of time
i'll never forget the past few months
as the months that
i lived in my car
