Our history feels like fiction
Could you read it back to me?
Or we could close both our eyes and
Say the colors that we see
Cause mine are darker lately
Did your well run dry?
You said you don’t love or hate me
And you can’t say why
And in the end neither of us get
What we wanted
And my end of the deal wasn’t so bad
Would you tell me bout yours
Oh you hate the way I’m
Always keeping score
So let’s just say no one walks away
With what they wanted
But you can’t turn it backwards
You can’t skip ahead
Can’t unopen the box
Can’t untangle the thread
You can’t unset the sun
When his time has come to descend
It’s just the way it goes in the end
There are ghosts on every corner
But none of them feel like you
Maybe I forgot your shape
Or maybe you are something new
Thought I would catch you in the spotlight
With your shadow long
But you’re waiting in the dark night
Maybe that’s where you belong?
And in the end neither of us get
What we wanted
And my end of the deal wasn’t so bad
Would you tell me bout yours
Oh you hate the way I’m
Always keeping score
So let’s just say no one walks away
With what they wanted
But you can’t turn it backwards
You can’t skip ahead
Can’t unopen the box
Can’t untangle the thread
You can’t unset the sun
When his time has come to descend
It’s just the way it goes in the end
It’s getting darker lately
Did your well run dry
You said you don’t love or hate me
And you can’t say why

Am I Your Mirror?
Am I your mirror? Or am I your window? I’m putting on your shoes, And feeling like I’m you Writing a new tune- or is it an echo? And how long can love be the excuse? I’m …
Like a Clam
Like a clam Like a daytime diner at 6 As the sun has just gone down And the dishes are run through the wash Even if you say you’re hungry and lost And you tell me …
Love Pass Through
We see the sky from the train It’s getting darker The birds are high And they’re flocking like a cloud In dark times they’re what I pray to now I think we’re like them …
O My Soul
There’s a new moon in my eye A dark spot in the brightness of the day Try to catch it in my hand but it fades away It fades away And I find that I am strange I’m not what …
Rough Magic
There’s a game that you know best You’ve been playing your cards close to the chest Put ‘em down and let it rest Take a breath and settle in Feel the drumming of your …
