Monuments 01:46
I'd like to be something more than what you keep; a tiny pause before you speak The Compass to your dreams; the one you keep close by at night when you go to sleep We'd go climb up every tree Believe in lakes but not in boundaries Revel in the light because home means that we're alive We could see the monuments; both laugh at our regrets How we're glad the way things went I only wish we could map my head Because I want sunsets at our back I want you singing in my lap I want you anywhere I'm at; I'll love you anywhere I'm at Do you breathe when I meet your glare? The one I see when you're not there I'd run my fingers through your hair But you're not there You're not there But I'll get there

Alaska 03:42
I want to understand my dreams Why my head feels like it's leaking, why I'm sleeping Why's there no one next to me? I need to better know the space you hide your teeth in I just need someone to believe with; a new surprise The same house for years but I still can't find the light But I'm better when I'm rested I need a challenge not just testing I need your head upon my back You let me relax I'm home if you should call I'm whole if you let go I'm home if you're at the deepest part of the ocean floor Life; the right way has been there the entire time I was too busy waiting for an invite To bliss, no remiss, pulling hair of off your lips It's funny what you find out when you've got someone to miss Jammed doors, winter floors, when it's warmer we'll explore It's funny when I found you I forgot what I came here for I'm home if you should call I'm whole if you let go I'm home if you're at the deepest part of the ocean floor If you're down then let me know I'm finding it hard to pretend to want to spend time with anyone but you I do; I hope you're learning something new I'm learning something I've got to Something I never got to Now I'm singing in the streets

Juneau 01:26
Seek escape, find a place Alaskan summer; I'll get there someday I'll be relaxing watching you back in from our front porch I'll be recapping Summers that we spent; places that we slept I'll live in your bed; I relax in your head Summer; look for bears Flowers in your hair I was unprepared I was wrong; I'll get there I'll get there

We should hang at night We should learn to fly Go to the other side of earth We could get high and sleep inside the dirt Never hurt Never tire, never work but we'd still know how much we're worth We're of the earth And we've got places to exist in Like Western Pennsylvania where I saw an orchard with your name on it I was burning circles in the crops Hoping that you'd see it from up top I want you on top I want you on lock I want you anyway I can just never stop I used to know what was next for me, now I just want you next to me I used to make a mess of peace but I found where to look It's more fun to believe I'm used to doing this all wrong I'm out of step, out of breath I love what's next, I love this song; and all those high notes you hit driving home I wasted time alone, that's time we could have been gone

A house on a hill Mountains to pay my bills Keyboards I'll rarely play, I never had skills anyway But I've got you and I've got arms like windmills You make me sway; I had never wanted you to stay Hey, I know I don't have a lot to say You made me see-through You've got me following you You've got me crawling into places I thought I out grew And I just lay; I only want you to stay I swayed; I think you're the best decision I made We sleep through the things we don't want to do The radio in my bed as we paint all the walls blue My head seeps; you know it cracks and spurs leaks It's spilling out to the streets through all the people we meet We'll build an ark to get through We'll be the crew me and you We'll just lay Or use existence as a vessel We can sleep or we can wrestle I'll avoid what might remind someday the both of us will die I hope you don't mind I hope you see me eye to eye, all the faces that we make All the ways that we can sway I hope you don't want me to go too faraway to live You know I want to stay I've got some love to give and insecurities I hope you're taken by surprise sometimes I'm not bored I swear I'm looking at your eyes I'm drawing constellation lines from stars we ripped out of the sky I know I'm a never ending cycle of repeating every night I'm not bored, I've been watching tv through reflections in your eyes In your eyes, I hope you're taken by surprise sometimes I could lie here for my entire life My tired life

Rain Candle 02:19
There's a chain of islands; a dream It's not sad there even when it rains I think that's you; I think you drip down window panes I think that's you; you feel like Sunday You're not yet real but I feel safe I can see you in a book of pictures I might one day take And on that bluff as our roots spur into view we'll call it love We'll call it sky blue I sense adventure and I can't wait to explore Always moving but always at home The view makes me feel everything at once You make me feel everything at once Someday I'll be more than just alive Someday when the rain falls heavy all the candles and the flowers will all stay bright We'll all stay bright
