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

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

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

Eureka 02:12
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 03:13
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

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
