lyrics

you ask me how I’m doing guess I’m doing okay dusted in the ash of ruins the dragon flew into space now everywhere you go the coast is clear the cars on the road disappeared I didn’t wanna let you go but grow ahead and leave all the headlines unread I asked you how you’re doing you sent a photo of the barn you’re taking care of your papa no drama working on the farm now everywhere you go the grass is green the sky up above is pristine I didn’t wanna let you go but grow and see there’s nothing between you and me comrade, oh my comrade I’m with you

Fighting In Paris 04:23
lyrics
buy track
stocked up at the duty free aperitif on the cheap left my worries overseas seemed like they were following me, come on every step a movie scene letting out the Wilhelm scream feeling like Philippe Petit we’re barely hanging on fighting in Paris no one could save us smashing a bottle head in a novel is it really necessary five pairs of shoes for a single week forget that I said anything it doesn’t even bother me, come on how about another cup of coffee share an umbrella down a rainy street you’re cuter than Amelie why can’t we get along fighting in Paris guess I deserve this dragging your suitcase through the gravel at Luxembourg Palace Notre Dame’s burning it’s just a building what can we salvage from all these ashes we’ve made it this far just to be sad at the Clown Bar fighting in Paris no one could save us except you and me say yes to we oui oui oui oui oui oui

Kelly Green got a new hairdo now life’s a chunk of clay saying “you do you” you’re the babe and the doula too now welcome to the world you’re just passing through Earth sign, read the stars frees you from behind the bars mushrooms, gratitude make due forage your own food your mom is taking off cause she lives on a plane and your dad the psychonaut trips inside of his brain you’re kissing someone new with the same given name and you’re sharpening a knife while you carve out a space Kelly Green got a new hairdo now life’s a chunk of clay saying “you do you” you’re the babe and the doula too now welcome to the world you’re just passing through

Kelly Blue 02:55
lyrics

someday when your hair is long all the awkward stages collapse your feet will hit the ground someday you won’t feel alone your brother was an only child his love has made you strong sitting by the ocean watching the moonrise light up your face this overwhelming beauty still you couldn’t help but being frightened by the waves what was all of your concern over not for you but the ones in the water someday you will find a home like a dandelion in the wind may all your blues be gone

I Will Guard Your Broken Bones 04:35
lyrics

biblical names, blame it on our parents covered in flames, dreams of revelations what is in a name, it shall not define you shaking off the shame, nevermore confine you is it a sign 10,000 feet up in the sky, Aaron art became life exalted on a mountain high, Aaron bury your head in the work digging out of all the hurt letting out the introvert, Aaron in the valley of the bells unravel the heart Ravel time will kiss and time will tell spotlight on the moon, reflecting on the water you played us a tune, like a beta blocker is it a sign 10,000 feet up in the sky, Aaron art became life exalted on a mountain high, Aaron I don’t know but I’ve been told glacier water’s mighty cold find your body lose control, Aaron my eyes following your feet marching to a timpani suddenly a symphony, Aaron this is a sign you climbed above the power lines, Aaron art became life and now we know the reasons why, Aaron tape deck in the minivan Twila Paris, Amy Grant turned a boy into a man reconcile make amends fucked up family fucked up friends we all do the best we can I will guard your broken bones getting stoned skipping stones you’re in my heart and my headphones life is but a Rumspringa more than drink more than drugs there’s no limit to your love no limit to your love

Three Bedrooms 03:06
lyrics
buy track
21st century in Nashville it all began when someone kicked the ant hill we scattered till we found ourselves a home three bedrooms we only needed one cut each others hair in our underwear playing GTA sky went black to pink couldn’t sleep a wink music must be made forever I would feel like an imposter trying on the layers for the weather hurry now the road white with snow pile into someones car let’s go waiting at the light Cassie jumped outside lifting up her shirt dressed up like The Strokes we saw Sigur Ros swear that nothing hurt without a word love still can be heard
without a cross love poured over us

we grow apart while we’re sleeping in the same bed with I love you’s we left unsaid we grow apart we grow apart brought the water to a boil suddenly we were in trouble we grow apart you’ll write your own story I’ll read every word for you I won’t worry as we cut the cord we grow apart all our friends say that we’re crazy don’t break up just have a baby but we grow apart we grow apart as the cat sits in the window waiting for us to return home we grow apart

it occurred to me gradually how lucky I was closer through tragedy my refuge of love the phases of the moon the changing of the tides new eyes a sunny disposition you opened up the blinds new eyes I got em from you I got em for you new eyes
