Summer Moons
01:23
|

"I hope tonight's the night I find you"
I call out into the dark
And if I sing this right maybe you'll love me too
We'll be together underneath these summer moons
I hear your voice but I can't find you
Did I pass you in the dark?
While the goldenrod and the Asters bloom
I'll keep searching underneath these summer moons
I'll keep searching underneath these summer moons

All In
03:14

I feel that sting, it's vaguely familiar
Like a childhood dream all feelings and colours
I swear that I've seen those eyes
It feels like a thousand times
Oh no here I go again
I'm already all in
I'm already all in
I watch you say your name, you have to repeat it
And I look away, I can't let you see it
But you've got a hold on me
You've got a hold on me
Oh no, here I go again
I'm already all in
I'm already all in
But it's gonna hurt if I lose you
like the rest
And I'll be cursing this night
that we met
And I'll be telling my friends all about how
I could swear this was it
Oh no, here I go again
I'm already all in
I'm already all in
And I'm already yours

Missing Piece
04:45
|

The summer that I was gone
It was still early on
I called you every night
You were putting the blonde in your hair
I was singing my songs
You tried so hard to care
It was easier to be incomplete
When your missing piece was never me
So you drowned your stars In city lights
You hid your scars with tattoos and red wine
When I think back on the girls I knew
No one could fake a smile quite like you
You moved out in fall
The house had grown small
When your dad met his new wife
You put your posters away while you cried
The tape peeled the paint
You left us all behind
It was easier to be incomplete
When your missing piece isn’t what they want to see
Beautiful, it’s not your fault
You only showed what you thought I’d (we’d) want to see
I know it now but it took too long
It was her you wanted all along
But your parents want their baby
The wedding from their magazines
To fix their broken family
So you drown your stars in city lights
You hide your scars with tattoos and red wine
When I think back on the girls I knew
No one could fake a smile quite like you
But they didn’t have to

Lorelai
03:13
|

Put on my coat to face the night
Tell whoever’s not here that I say goodbye
Pay what I owe for these sins of mine
And Look round this room one last time
look round this room one last time
Through the smoke, she found me
Her dark eyes were too lovely
Her kiss stopped the hurting
Take me home Lorelai
You can have yourselves another drink
Cheers to who I used to be
Her siren’s song is calling
Take me home Lorelai
It’s time to put my soul to bed
I’ve got two sore feet and an aching head
“South Detroit” they were screaming it
And I never want to hear that song again
I never want to hear that song again
So When you see her dance in the campfire light
When the buzz in your head is singing just right
When you’re brave enough to meet her eyes
Oh brother my brother it’ll be alright
Ya brother my brother it’ll be alright

Shadows

I went walking with the night trying to find the day
Put the garbage to the curbside
But the the tide was still awake
And the wind played with the waves
Like I played with your hair
Was I happy then?
Were we almost there?
Oh, what can I do?
Oh, every song just feels like you
Oh, what can I do?
In a room stained with shadows and memories of you
Taste the salt in the ocean, tast the salts on your skin
Muggy kiss on your doorsteap
That night you let me in
So we slept with the windows open
And your head on my chest
Can I live in this moment?
Can I burn all the rest?
Oh, what can I do?
Oh, every song just feels like you
Oh, what can I do?
With all of these shadows, and memories of you
Oh, I can’t help but think
Of his lips on your skin and it’s killing me
Oh, what can I do?
With all of these shadows…

A Kiss in the Dark
03:26
|
|||
He sits up in bed, lays a kiss on her head
Barefoot to the boards that don’t squeak
It’s a practiced routine that she’s never seen
‘Cos when she’s awake it’s so hard to leave
Dry toast and dry eyes, instant coffee because it’s quiet
Marked shirt smells like metal and paint
His lunchbox in hand, his retirement plan
Held like prayer as he drives away
Now she’s going to bed, he not home yet
Working doubles, building cars
Says it’s her that he’s missing, to close her eyes and start drifting
And she’ll wake to his kiss in the dark
They creep past his room, he’ll be getting up soon
Quiet like church when they play
He’ll grab them from school when he’s off afternoons
But he’s scared that they won’t recognize him awake
That they won’t recognize him awake
So he tells his youngest boy
That he worked so that he’ll have the choice
And he begs him when that time comes
Not to do it like his daddy’s done
But now she’s going to bed, I’m on the road again
I’ll call her while I gas up the car
To say it’s her that I”m missing, to close her eyes and start drifting
And she’ll wake to my kiss in the dark

Time just keeps going now
I wish I could slow her down
We dance for a while but she always leads
Tinsled Decembers, I can barely remember
Yellowed and faded like old magazines
Ghosts on the clothesline won't you come back
To haunting my head while I'm trying to dream
When you were here I could still feel that fear
And the hope that the morning would come set me free
Won't you come back now and scare me to sleep?
There were times that the water
Would make me feel smaller
Now I feel nothing while I drown in the sea
Now I see just what you are
Sheets blown by wind in the yard
But it's worse here alone
Alone with the dark
So won't you come back now?
So won't you come back now?

Run
03:29
|

Feels like I’m running to prove my legs can still move
what if I’m just chasing these ghosts because it’s something to do?
Will it ever feel like enough?
Will I make up my mind?
Maybe I’m just running
And I don’t need a finish line
I sang your favourite song, you said the words weren’t right
That’s when I knew that I’d love you for the rest of my life
So we bought a little house now
And we’re doing just fine
So why are we still running dear?
What are we trying to find?
So lets (just) keep on running while our legs can still move
Maybe we’re happiest when there’s still more to do
It may never be enough
But darling that’s alright
As long as I’m running
with you by my side

Babe are you awake?
Since you are now, hear me out
Because my mind’s in one hell of race
Why don’t we go out back with some wine and relax
Like we used to
When I first met you love
And I’ve been thinking of
The way that you kiss when we’ve been drinking, love
darling lets go
The stars hang like mistletoe
And summer fades fast while we dance so slow
To a song in my head, your head on my chest,
wet grass beneath our toes
Under cheap string lights
I’ll hold you close
Don’t go back to sleep
all of these crickets sing the most beautiful songs
Don’t you think?
I see you smile a bit, we can both call in sick in the morning
Lets go exploring my love
And I’ve been thinking of
How we spend too much time thinking love
Darling lets go
The stars hang like mistletoe
And summer fades fast while we dance so slow
To a song in your head, my head on your chest
Wet grass beneath our toes
Under cheap string lights
I’ll hold you close
