Time The Bully
02:49

It wasn't poetry but it meant something to me
We weren't the best but we were something to see
But there's an end to every friend
And I'd go back and visit you if I knew how time could bend
There's an aching in my belly there's a hurtin in my heart
How can it be I used to call you friend
Now I don't even know who you are
Snuck under a rug, lost like a good dream
Memories fade like a pair of well-worn jeans
Pushed to the back of the mind
where insightful thoughts go blind
The pulling moon and sucking tide did their best to offer us good lives
How can we misunderstand
How could it not go as planned
Why does the bully seem to win time and time again
Now there's an aching in my belly, there's a hurtin in my heart
How can it be I used to call you friend
Now I don't even know who you are

Pioneer and Boulder

My children were thoughts that flew out of my mouth
They flew to my friends who had fled from the south
I'm here but my thoughts are with you
and it's splitting me nearly in two
When I love things I don't let them go
I love you as I think you know
The earth's plates could shift, they could quake, they could rip
It still wouldn't compare, not one little bit
to the damage you've done to me dear
I am faulty when you are not near
You're a pioneer but I am a boulder
While you move west I stay and grow older
I'll never be satisfied
But I gather my moss here with pride
To restart you need a starting place
You need armor for what you might face
You can complain, you can doubt, you can scream, you can pout
But there's no pulling out of this race
To stay still requires a sum of faith
You might like it if you try a taste
It's expensive and fragrant and aged
It's bitter at first
but soon you'll have that thirst
and you'll outlast them all for the taste

Let Me Go Gently
02:41

I hope if you feel smothered
by our love for each other
you'll let me know
Let me go gently when you let me go
Or if you find another
that you want to be your lover
please tell me so
Let me go gently when you let me go
I hope that if you find
this isn't what you had in mind
you'll tell me so
Let me go gently when you let me go
Or if you have a change of heart
before things fall apart
I want to know
Let me go gently when you let me go
Or if we grow old together
and my health begins to weather and I'm first to go
Let me go gently when you let me go

Lover, my heart is between your lips
so please be tender it beats when we kiss
Some words are hard to say and don't come out as planned
If you're at a loss for words it's okay just take my hand
I see the rubicon in the parting of your lips
I'll cross it over by giving you a kiss
with no return gladly
Darling I'm in love with you madly
Our love is the universe and you can't quantify it
It's true and it's vast and I've known nothing like it
I love your values and I love your brain
The way that you touch me drives me insane
I'll be your fire if you'll be my rock
and we'll stay up late talking lovers' talk
I'm absolutely decidedly sure
that you're the one I've been searching for

Time Machine

I'm gonna build a time machine
Travel back to before I was mean
I'll go back in time
to when I was young and kind
and fast forward through the ugliness I've seen
Time machine take me back to last night at 8
I'll show up early instead of late
There won't need to be any apology
cause there won't be a mistake
Time machine, put those words back in my mouth
God knows I don't always know what I'm talking about
I'll be intentional next time, I'll think before I speak
I'll use my mouth as a tool not a sink with a leak
I've got regrets, I've got regrets,
I've made mistakes, burned bridges, lost bets,
I've got regrets

Jeepers Creepers

There's lots of stuff that scares me
murderers and violent things
rising rent and government, long term unemployment
but I'm not afraid of our love
There's lots of stuff that I avoid
falling into depressing voids
horror films and bro dudes
people with nasty attitudes
but baby I live for our love
I used to think that romance
Was good for a night or two
I'd run away before things got too real
that was before I met you
There's lots of stuff I'm not proud of
I've been unkind and I've failed at love
but now I've found something that's true
Baby, I'll never be ashamed of you and the things that we do
