2 Be The Only 1

i move my body from the floor
find myself standing at the door
where i admit it’s not enough
to be the only one in love
so i can’t do this anymore
just as i was, alone before
through screens in words i felt your touch
telling you so would be too much
now there’s a vacant lot in here
carved out by absence basted years
if you can’t hold it
should i have sold it
i lay unfolded
and i admit it’s not enough
to be the only one in love
to be the only one in love

if i could grow up
then i would surely
figure out something
else to think about
if i keep humming
if i keep strumming
surely something will quell
my mind and fill my time
if i keep sleeping
if i keep dreaming
surely something will find
its way back to itself
like chimes
back to their bell
just when i thought i’d
figured out something
that’s when it becomes clear
the way the forest
teases and leads
its calling from somewhere else
it brings you back
and i lose tact
blame me for that
blame me for the fact
all of the books i’ve read
haven’t told me how
to do this yet
and i’m trying not
to regret
all i’ve said
i’ve built my bed
it’s where you tread
if i could grow up
then i would surely
figure out something else
sometimes its clear
what i hold dear
and who keeps me here
where the water
eats our fear
where the water
eats our fear

Like That

if i’m honest
of course i still want it
i just don’t want to fall
don’t want to lose control
not like that
not like that
it wasn’t all bad
but i don’t want it back
no love like that
no love like that
the light lies flatter than a blade
your eyes are sharp, i know your taste
but i don’t wanna be played
don’t want to participate
not like that
not like that
i know what’s held me hon’
is how our love came undone
but i’ve mourned our pact
and there’s more than that
when i know these quiet moments
could be felt by more than one
so will i ever have a love
that’s something like that
that’s something intact

Just Might

if i could stay up all night, i would
if i could speak to you, i would
the dangerous act of
holding our breath
its always up to you
its always up to you
and the sky still changing
theres always an ending
and the sky still glowing
your worst side is showing
i learn to keep going
if i could stay up all night,
i just might, i just might
i just might
and if i can’t get closer
i’ll learn to stay sober
and if i can’t get closer
i learn to stay sober
it feels like i need you
all night
i dont think
i know why
a cigarette is a star held in my hand
its what ive got because
you cannot be my man
i hold on less tightly
i move on more lightly
i learn to feel my mind
