Sadness a balloon that you break

You are what they call the human season

I'm covered in skin no one gets to come in

Pull me out from inside

Save my soul, I'll save some of you

Jus the comfort of strangers

She weaves secrets in her hair

What are regrets? Just lessons we haven't learned yet

It's like living in the middle of the ocean, with no future, no past

Today is whatever I want it to mean

How do you know how to let go?

When are we gonna finally sing our song?

We're burning down, we're burning out

If they ask you how I'm holding up, say I'm holding out for the words

Wish I could wake up from the dream

I adored and I ignored you, now to me you're everything

These are words that go together well, my Michelle

I knew I wouldn't stay forever, knew I'd get some things together and move on

It’s your face I’ll see at the end of the day

We'll be out on the road to way past supper

Your beauty must be rubbing off on me

And if I fall to taste the ground

You seem to bring the best out of me

We will still need a song to carry our love away

There’s gonna be nice days in the ice age

You're eyes are closed like you truly believe, you're safe and sound with me

I know this time I'll catch a wind and fly

Again I'm under foreign skies but longing's all that permanent

Oh the truth will form and fall apart again

I see losing love is like a window in your heart

There is beauty in the breakdown

I could have been one of these things first

Everything looks perfect from far away

I'm caught up in the back and forth of balancing my fear

The punchline is I always swim upstream

Every place I go I take another place with me

Don't let it form us, the creature fear

With the wild wolves around you, in the morning I'll call you

I'm building a still to slow down the time

I love you, oh brother of mine

Don't believe a word that I haven't heard

I do believe you gave it your best try. Ah hummingbird, sing to me

Dear shadow alive and well, how can the body die?

I was following the pack all swallowed in their coats

She left a week to roam, your protector's coming home

I can outline my feelings but I can't fill them in

I will let my mind wander and dream a little longer just for now

I wanna wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive

When are you gonna get yourself back on your feet?

Love is watching someone die
