How Could I Have Known
02:41

When we first met
I was struck
I was new
You felt
What did not exist
You fed me
And I grew
So how could I have known?
How could I have known?
How could I have known?
How could I have known?
The sudden wind that brings you
Will be the wind that takes you
The same fate that brought you
Will be the fate that takes you
How could I have known?
The wildfire
in my old field
of vision
You caught me in
a time of change
The season is ending
So it'd be fitting
For us to blame
The sudden wind that brings you
Will be the wind that takes you
The same fate that brought you
Will be the fate that takes you
How could I have known?
How could I have known?
How could I have known?
How could I have known?
How could I have known?
How could I have known?
How could I have known?
How could I have known?

Forfeit
02:34

Singin’ as I lock the door
You meet me on the corner
The powerlines above us
Weave a humming chorus
We walk a little farther
We talk about your father
I say if it’s too much
Don’t gotta say anything further
But listening is no bother
to me
You can say anything to me
You called your win a draw
though it was
clearly not at all that
Laying on your carpet
waiting for a forfeit
Victory is your laughter
It’s your trust I’m after
It’s you knowin’ that I’d never
let you feel ashamed
You can say anything to me
You can say anything to me

Arm's Length
02:37
|

I remember what was said
You swore in blue and red
But it is hard to discern
A bruise from a lesson learned
Would it be easier to love you from afar?
Would it be easier to love you from an arm’s length?
Would it be easier to love you from afar?
Would it be easier to love you from an arm’s length?
Maybe I’m not warmed up yet
I’m wearing armor from a different past
Demanding trust, an impossible thing
Akin to being taught to laugh
Would it be easier to love you from afar?
Would it be easier to love you from an arm’s length?
Would it be easier to love you from afar?
Would it be easier to love you from an arm’s length?

If I Were a Ghost

If I were a ghost in this house
I'd see all of your pictures hung up
I'd walk through the hallways
that I used to love
I'd see all your new pictures hung up
If I were a ghost in this house
I'd watch when your mind was away
how it would drift
and be prone to fall into
the old ways of me and you
I'd give my body away,
if I could slip in and sleep by your side
I'd give my body away
If I were a ghost in this house
If I were a ghost in this house
We used to spend all our nights talking
now I just wander, wanting to find
the voice that I left in our doorway
saying goodbye,
saying goodbye
I'd give my body away
if I could slip in and sleep by your side
I'd give my body away
If I were a ghost in this house
If I were a ghost in this house

Jo ’n me are sitting at the bank
On 23rd Street
Everything’s exactly the same
but I’m a new me
I pick up the wind
Take up my words
Then let it set me down again
and I don't know how
always someone now
is listening
If there was something different then,
Well, I know it now
To be young and to know it
Is something profound
The subtle difference then
Is so big now
It’s more than a stretch
I don’t wanna let one more good day
Go over my head
We led ourselves through
Mazes then raced 'em to a dead end
Across mountain trails
And river beds
Through broken men
We pick up the wind
Take up our words
Then let it set us down again
and I don't know how
always someone now
Is listening
If there was something different then
Well, I know it now
To be young and to know it
Is something profound
The subtle difference then
Is so big now
It’s more than a stretch
I don't wanna let one more good day
Go over my head
Jo 'n me are sitting at the bank on 23rd Street

Second Day of Spring
03:01

It’s the second day of spring,
Another season’s behind me
I don’t feel any different
Though there’s someone new beside me
And the sun kisses my skin
Ever gently, ever burning
and I can’t shake the wanting,
the ever yearning
That I’ve left alone too long,
Shaking me inside out
I know where I do and don’t belong
But right here,
It’s all right here
So, I guess I can stay awhile
Yes, things are better on paper
Oh, it’s easy to say
Things are good,
Still I cut my fingers
on the edges every day
And I know that you love me
I know you mean me well
I’m so sorry in advance,
I’m sorry for
circumstances that
Leave me cold and cruel
There’s no easy for me
in leaving you,
But right now
I don’t know how to let you down
So, for right here,
it’s all right here
So I guess I can stay awhile

Newborn of Springtime
01:42
|
|||
|
You've hurt me so badly
You've healed me so sweet
The trees are rustling
A loving word leaves
The mouth of a taker
I adore
You’ve brought me children
You’ve brought me this home
You've taken away,
You've left me alone
And I love you
through the open window
The newborn of springtime,
The powder of white snow

Waiting For You
03:18
|

I’ve been waiting for you
I’ve been waiting for you all this time
Time’s been passin’ quicker
The line’s gettin’ thinner
Between what I want
and what’s in front of me
Like the light that glinted off the river
Like the bloom that lifted the winter
I’ve been waiting for you
I’ve been waiting for you all this time
Now I’m lookin’ outward
The sound of
us has now turned into a sweetness
And I won’t forget it
Like the light that glinted off the river
Like the bloom that lifted the winter
Like the fruit that tempted the sinner
Was it weakness or tenderness in her?
I’ve been waiting for you
I’ve been waiting for you
All this time
