When You Are Well
03:19

I can’t hold you like I want
But we can walk around the block
You can tell the truth to me
No one here to listen in
I thought you were so well
I tried so hard to understand
But I don’t think you think I can
Should I go in or dance around
Should I head where I’m not allowed
I thought you were so well
We’re scared when you are well
And we are scared when you are sick
We’d give up everything to make a promise
We could fix it

Calling Me Out
03:10
|

It’s Christmas, the one day that I don’t wanna do this
You never wanna discuss your choices
I see your name all over my phone
Elastic, you pull back and get it over it like that
Then come around like nothing has happened
I wonder how it got to be so
Why you calling me out?
Some things you gotta do on your own
Why you pushing me, why you calling me out?
You like to cut too close to the bone
Why you pushing me, why you calling me out?
Quiet, don’t wanna be the one to ignite you
I step around your insults to save you
I wonder how you got to be so
Why you calling me out?
Some things you gotta do on your own
Why you pushing me, why you calling me out?
You like to cut too close to the bone
Why you pushing me, why you calling me out?
Cross the line now, cut it out now
Gotta save you from a long way down
Cross the line now, cut it out now
Maybe I could help you out
Why you calling me out?
Some things you gotta do on your own
Why you pushing me, why you calling me out?
You like to cut too close to the bone
Why you rushing me, why you calling me out?
Why you pushing me, why you calling me out?

October, December
03:28

I hope you’re happy now
I hope you sleep on the plane
Maybe you’ll get a whole row
You know I would die to know
December heat, a dream to me
But I can feel it, I feel it
Every hour takes you further away from me
Every time I said I love you, it was real to me
So I wait by the phone
Though you told me you won’t call
We’ve seen the worst of it now
Funny calm settles into place
Maybe you feel it too
All alone in a foreign room
I’ve no control, you know me well
But I can feel it, I feel it
Every hour takes you further away from me
Every time I said I love you, it was real to me
So I wait by the phone
Though we agreed that you won’t call
Maybe you’ll find yourself back where we were
A park in Austin, precious time to kick the dirt
I know you’ll see the birds in pairs
I wonder if you’ll think of me out there

Anniversary
03:48
|

Never had an anniversary
Though I had you all those years
Smoke blew out to fog and back
And we both had no idea
Never had an anniversary
What the fuck is wrong with me?
Chased the work inside a plane
You hesitated for so long
Beg the love to return again
I always this shit so wrong
Never had an anniversary
What the fuck is wrong with me?
‘Cause the bruise from the fall
Always takes some time to show
I’m black and blue
I’m black and blue for you
Wrote the date the day you left
Inside the notebook by my bed
Maybe this could be ours instead
Not the beginning but the end
Cause it feels like an anniversary
It’s the closest thing to me
‘Cause the bruise from the fall
Always takes some time to show
I’m black and blue
I’m black and blue for you

Flesh

2am whisper
At 2am you talked me down
Screen lock alone
I think about you all the time
Your words wring me out
I pour across them all at night
Your voice, a bright blue pink
I think you about all the time
Is what you said
Six more weeks of this
Of not drinking you up in the back of a bar in summer
Won’t get used to it ‘til you’re made out of flesh and you’re real
I type it out and can it
Something words can ever say
Not mine anyway
It’s what you said
Six more weeks of this
Of not drinking you up in the back of a bar in summer
Won’t get used to it ‘til you’re made out of flesh and you’re real
Are you taller than me?
Are you smarter than me?
You really think ‘bout me?
Are you braver than me?
Are you smarter than me?
Are you in love with me?
Six more weeks of this
Of not drinking you up in the back of a bar in summer
Won’t get used to it ‘til you’re made out of flesh and you’re real

Hospital
04:27
|
|||
I don’t know who you are
When you call me in this state
The light hangs in the dark
But you’re buried in the blank
I’m halfway out the door
I pull my shoes back on
And all these voices in the car
Turn them up, ‘cause I control them
And you don’t ask for help from anyone else
And I don’t ask for help
I wish I could be a hospital
Rooms and beds for anyone at all
Every need is met
Every heart and every head
You need me to be a hospital
Try to stretch my hands to be it all
I can’t move like that
I bend and break right back
Whiplash from your thoughts
Over coffee in the morning
A catch in your voice
Betray that complicated feeling
I’m just trying to be a friend to you at least
But that’s not what you need
And you don’t ask for help from anyone else
And I don’t ask for help
I wish I could be a hospital
Rooms and beds for anyone at all
Every need is met
Every heart and every head
You need me to be a hospital
Try to stretch my hands to be it all
I can’t move like that
I bend and break right back
And if I could
Then brick by brick
I build the thing myself
I’d put you in the nicest room
Do you think that would help?
And you don’t ask for help from anyone else
And I don’t ask for help
