Landlocked State

Watched you die in those basements
Wondered how we would ever get past this
Took the stairs up, two at a time
Couldn't leave quicker than we did
Here's the thing
I persevered, but I didn't have a say
There were no well-laid plans, just some fumbling in the dark
I watched myself die in a landlocked state
Felt alone for a minute, and then I felt wide awake
When I woke up you were driving the car
My shirt was sticking to my back
Here's the thing
You always think that it will be one way
There are no well-laid plans, to find exactly what will cause a spark.

Smothered in Luck

Everybody is throwing out their backs
Bottom row of teeth are shifting
Hard enough to keep in touch, I hold you close when you're around
And at this point in my life, just wanna be surprised
Whether I'm smothered in hugs, or smothered in luck
How many would disagree?
It was a symptom, of a time and a place in my life
I get a funny feeling
Anytime that I go back there
And now, I'm letting fruit wither from the vine
A second paused turns to eight months down the line
What's new,
Yeah I say "hey man, what's new?"

Cared For

There are memories of you
That somebody has, that will die with them
And you'll never get back
The way you checked the curtains in the hotel room
That Joni Mitchell album, that you showed me
You were nothing to me, then you were everything
I think I like it somewhere, in the middle
There are things that I hold
Subtle, fragile and old
Don't do much for me anymore
Persevere through some days
Lose touch in the same ways
Nobody to blame, anyways

Breath Got Bored

Sweat lines on the back of my shirt, do you see where the angle meets?
Smoked out the apartment cooking dinner, will the love still be there
On the next day?
Do you get what you want from me, do you get what you need?
At 25 years old, I can't trust what I hold with my hands.
Wanna provide for you, in material ways, I don't care what the others say.
I don't think it's okay to be this way
Always doubting what I can trace
Playing dumb, so you'll say what I already know
At least I hope so
Held my breath, till the breath got bored
Snuck out and found somebody else
If all I do is doubt the foundation, do the walls cave in on themselves?
Why are you thinking so much?
