Afterthought
03:05

Take off my shoes1
Open the curtains to check out the hotel view
I’m almost home
This weather has afforded me one more night alone
I always dreamt of walking this walk
I never meant to be an afterthought
Untuck the sheets
Turn on the TV for some company
Too late to nap so I
Steep my body in a lukewarm bath
Staring at the interface of two ideals
Drawn to the collective and the in-between
This reflection cleared the way
So my affinity to place
Could settle like dust on the kitchen counter
I settle like dust on the kitchen counter
Like dew on a morning flower
A hush in the evening hour
I settle down

Pool

Feeling kinda nervous
Think I know what’s good for me now
Nothing comes easy
But I’m patient
Feeling my own worth and
Dwelling on what’s good for me now
Nothing comes easy
But I’m patient
I’ve been swimming inside my own pool
I just want to talk about it
Running where I’m running to
Some may say that’s overrated
Feeling kinda nervous
Think I know what’s good for me now
Nothing comes easy
But I’m patient
Feeling my own worth and
Dwelling on what’s good for me now
Nothing comes easy
But I’m patient
I’ve been swimming inside my own pool
I just want to talk about it
Running where I’m running to
Some may say that’s overrated
Knocking on your door only takes me a minute
How can I get out when I’m so deep within it?
I’ve been swimming inside my own pool
I’ve been swimming inside my own pool
I just want to talk about it
Running where I’m running to
Some may say that’s overrated

Cool Down
03:56

Two orchids on the watering wall
We get what we want I suppose
Blue petals in a cool repose
Dawn’s coming up
Dark decays
Flower dew evaporates
Is it over?
Don’t tell me it’s over
Spinning on the edges of time
I can hear the room let out a big sigh
I don’t wanna cool down
I don’t wanna cool down
I step into the quivering night
Catch my breath so I don’t cry
I don’t wanna cool down
I don’t wanna cool down
I love the people I pretend to know
Burning in my damp clothes
Put my hair up, neck exposed
I chew on the ice at the bottom of my drink
One more taste, one last sip
I want it all
I want it all
Spinning on the edges of time
I can hear the room let out a big sigh
I don’t wanna cool down
I don’t wanna cool down
I step into the quivering night
Catch my breath so I don’t cry
I don’t wanna cool down
I don’t wanna cool down
Sun’s coming up
Dark Decays
The fantasy evaporates
Is it over?
Don’t tell me it’s over
Spinning on the edges of time
I can hear the room let out a big sigh
I don’t wanna cool down
I don’t wanna cool down
I step into the quivering night
Catch my breath so I don’t cry
I don’t wanna cool down
I don’t wanna cool down

Complicated
02:47
|
|||
Your name on my lips
My ear to your station
A natural fit but
My patience is fading
I’m treading on glass
Carefully choosing
Tryna help you relax
Lose it, diffuse it
Don’t you get exhausted?
Putting me to the test
It gets so complicated
I’m tired of all this talking
I’m doing my best
Shouldn’t be this complicated
This is not an exchange
It’s not love between equals
I’m gonna hide in this crowd
‘Til the path reveals
Don’t you get exhausted?
Putting me to the test
It gets so complicated
I’m tired of all this talking
I’m doing my best
Don’t make it complicated
Don’t you get exhausted?
Putting me to the test
It gets so complicated
I’m tired of all this talking
I’m doing my best
It shouldn’t be this complicated
Don’t make it complicated
It shouldn’t be this complicated

Baby Anymore
03:45
|

I broke our favorite dishes to pieces
Tried to put them back together with glue
I know it hasn’t been very easy
And our bed don’t feel big enough for two
I don’t call you baby
I been hung up lately
I’m no heartbreaker
But I don’t wanna call you baby anymore
I learn to grow with you in the deep end
Let my longing drip dry in the sun
I love you in the pale hush of our evenings
But what happens when a pattern comes undone
I don’t call you baby
I been hung up lately
I’m no heartbreaker
But I don’t wanna call you baby anymore

Just Forgetting
03:45
|
|||
Woke up at 6 AM
For no reason
But to watch the soft pink sky
Floating on the ceiling
I could still be dreaming
I set the table
For a simple lunch
Put lilies in a milk bottle
Just for fun
The pollen stains my thumbs
The days are vague, but they’re spacious
When I read I stare through the page
Decorate for the occasion
Deeper need for a distraction
Looking back, you know, I thought I’d changed
But I’m just forgetting
Soak me in persuasion
Shallow puddle of reaction
I admit that I thought I’d changed
But I’m just forgetting
Today I’ll write a list
Of what I could give
Tomorrow I’ll obsess about
What I can get
My priorities bend
When this mood hits
All that I find is
Trouble with stillness
Dare I take five?
From this vicious design
The days are vague, but they’re spacious
When I read I stare through the page
Decorate for the occasion
Deeper need for a distraction
Looking back, you know, I thought I’d changed
But i’m just forgetting
Soak me in persuasion
Shallow puddle of reaction
I admit that I thought I’d changed
But I’m just forgetting

Daydream
03:25
|
|||
30 degrees in the city
Lay on my back in the shaded green
1 New message says
“Do you miss me?”
Well I haven’t been crying
I promise I’ve been trying
I’m stuck on my crush
Wish me luck
I’m so hot right now
Caught in a tender circumstance
Flushed with a feeling I didn’t know I had
But the daydream never lasts
Taken by the rosy blush of sunset
Honestly I’d rather not go home yet
Leave this familiar life I am not living
Where I’m never ashamed to
Stray from my commitments
Tell me to come over
Going nowhere
Is so hot right now
Caught in a tender circumstance
Flushed with a feeling I didn’t know I had
But the daydream never lasts
Lifting my desire to the light
So sorry I forgot about this side of me
I can’t speak the language when I try
Caught in a tender circumstance
Flushed with a feeling I didn’t know I had
But the daydream never lasts

Just a Habit
03:36
|
|||
I try and tell my mind to wait
But memories melt to liquid
I distill them into one mistake
Glide into that vision
Follow me
To where it’s dark and sweet
Thoughts like honey
Why let this worry be comfortable
It’s messing with my mood
So mean to lean on the rules
Ready for something new
I know it never makes me feel good
(I don’t like it)
(It’s just a habit)
Running through me like a ribbon in two
(Leaves me divided)
(I don’t like that)
Follow me
To where it’s dark and sweet
Warming up to my enemy
Thoughts like honey
Why let this worry be comfortable
It’s messing with my mood
So mean to lean on the rules
Ready for something new
I know it never makes me feel good
(I don’t like it)
(It’s just a habit)
Running through me like a ribbon in two
(Leaves me divided)
(I don’t like that)
Untether from the chase
Keep my window lifted
The lure lets me down, anyway
Why let this worry be comfortable
It’s messing with my mood
So mean to lean on the rules
Ready for something new
I know it never makes me feel good
(I don’t like it)
(It’s just a habit)
Running through me like a ribbon in two
(Leaves me divided)
(I don’t like that)

Close to You
03:10
|
|||
Dim the light
Only to withdraw
By your side
While I lay here with hesitation
Alone
Hurry out
Into tomorrow
Worried about
How to satisfy these expectations
I’ve borrowed
But pleasure’s nothing to prove
I’m your favorite fruit
The impulse must be true
You’re my favorite too
And I miss being close to you.
Talk and touch
Simple ways to care
Takes two of us
Totally aware
Of the desperations
We share
Pleasure’s nothing to prove
I’m your favorite fruit
The impulse must be true
You’re my favorite too
I’m caught up in what I’m supposed to do
Pleasure’s nothing to prove
When you’re my favorite fruit
The impulse must be true
And I miss being close to you

Strange to Me
03:10
|
|||
Tuning in turns me into a sponge
I see all the details I missed growing up
Catching the whispers that roll off your tongue
Stories are stones I carry in my cup
Bearing witness, free of suspicion
Now I’m in this, I feel the friction
Dripping in regret for kissing him away from the crowd
I walk on the shore and the ocean is sour
It all feels so strange to me now
Does it flow into the warmth of my shower
It’s all the same to me now
My intention exceeds my capacity
Exposed in the cruel blue light
Can’t cope with a casual tragedy
Offer the excess to the gentle tide
Holding the wrong hand
Hoping they’ll understand
I’ve got a good plan hidden in smoke
Buried in sound
I walk on the shore and the ocean is sour
It all feels so strange to me now
Is it a mirror of nuance in power
It’s all the same to me now
Strange to me now
