wake up late
but its more than early
sun's beamin' in
waiting for osprey to sing
down to the porch we go
and in that room i would stare at the books way up high
little arms reach and try
the blues & more
we lost track of score
old guest house games
they all feel the same in the end
we really tried to do anything but cry
still the birdy flies up way too high
and on the roof it will die...

tripped up
forced into a spin
waiting to go
fucked up almost everything
you should know
what if i found a love thats not what im dreaming of?
what if i found a way to roam about the town?
romance antihistamine
the dream is dead
the lie is gone
short, stout, plentiful with rhyme
waste of time
endings never fail to cry
wait to go ahead 'n lie
what if i found a love thats not what im dreaming of?
what if i found a way to roam about the town?
its always been strange to me
romance antihistamine
the dream is dead
the lie is gone
i cant wait too long
there's always something wrong
(thank u meg duffy <3)

hurricane at the door
cancel lunchtime on the floor
ill set the table
you just wine and dine and treat us right
so i can get some sleep tonite
in these dreams they show my face
hidden in some pillowcase
does this mean theyre my foe?
how could it be so simple, its so simple
livingroom is such a mess
can't i get a little rest?
i have to clean before i sleep
i get so anxious and i lock myself into the end
will it be me or the mess
did i mention youre the best?
you just noticed now
that it could be so simple
its so simple
everyday id walk to school
think to myself, "im a fool; nothing isnt anything"
so tell me now babe, why'd'll it be so simple, its so simple
i left the road and hit the hay
tomorrow is a clearer day
id rather sit alone and think about something,
like why'd'll it be so simple its so simple

everytime i hand off my dreams
i give it some time
you were still a lady to me
until you flew by
until we all cried
until we all looked around and wept
slept in the back
bumps in the tracks we'll co-separate
right into two
right after you, dear
gentlemanly
congregation's jaw on the floor
truly unholy
when they leave rush in the door
we exit with safety
we say bye to gracie
we exit with warm summer gifts in our hands
stabbed in the back
cutting the slack with a dull butter knife
its not the time
but cant we just leave here?
and steer clear?
i'll hold the door so gentlemanly
so gentlemanly
<3

when you walk far away
theres a place you often stay
ahh, where she goes no one knows
find a car
leave today
youll end this thing
or so you say
ahhh,
fear of love
ahhhhh
fear of time
with your reason and rhyme
you will shine
speak your mind
you can fly
just raise your hand and wave goodbye
inner-sleeve; such a mess
crinkled up, my oldest yet
ahhh
take a bet to what was said
in your head
you must know
when to stall and when to call
ahhh, fold me up
ahhh, press me down
ahhh, close the latch and sit right back
the perfect match
just relax
a simple task
ohhhh....
