Standing at my window the first rain of Spring, tiny mean bugs coming in through the screen. One more deep breath then I'll leave your bed. Your hair is made of silk and your heart is real big. Your body rolls up to me like the ocean, you're not like the ocean, when I go to it I'm so me. There's nobody in this world who can convince me change is easy, changes, Emily. Everything that happened between you and me happened in darkness. I thought I died but the sun came up hotter than ever, I had nowhere to hide.
I'm biting at your throat, coming in for the light to borrow a few good cells. Don't you like how time falls through us like an animal cry to a starry, starry sky? Just one thing left for me to do. Get up, get dressed, kiss you and leave the room. Decide who am I? when my shoes hit the street. There's nobody else at work who really sees me. You took my mug, I'm still a really cool Grandpa!

Don't pack too much. It's hard to know what you'll find. There's so much to accomplish. Just bad dreams I guess, you make me watch you try on the dress and casually say yes. Undress nightly, tasteless mangoes and beeping trucks. I smell your favorite soap. No window leaf-watching will settle this. No time apart. No national park trip. Camera, camera in the wall I look into your lens. There's no pain in breaking up, you're just scared to death of change. And what if I never have a beautiful girl who loves me and an apartment like you? What if I just walk to the store for tomatoes and send my nephews t-shirts in the mail? There's no pain in breaking up, you're just scared to death of change

When I lay in bed blue summer air comes in to touch my skin while I'm talking to everyone I love. It's always you at the end. With every word you say a small piece of me lifts away. Idealist, what are your prospects? To boomerang back to earth as earth itself? Ha-ha...oh, my midnight hunch. Choking on a name, it's not the one that's gonna wake me up from this dream.
Every day I'm holding my ground. Soon I am old, will I stay funny when I'm fading out? Dry, dirty money stuffed in my eyes. Don't look so excited..
I would have done better in a world where everyone is shown a garden, a wheel, a lamb and told, pick one.
Inside of a dream I fell asleep again and I took you with me still. The ocean closed in on me in my family tree, the rocks were too steep to climb. And poison leaked into the city streets from creeps in breweries. But I was with you on the beach, I was with you on the beach, I was with you on the beach and that's all I wanted.

I can't keep the world from my doorstep. Most things need constant motion to live. In this picture Zach is tripping, teaching me a board game. If that stuff taught me anything, there's no time, we're all the same.
I'm not the one asleep on the job, don't need you watching my back. No one could prove I wasn't all the people I slipped through. When I'm out I plug my ears at the roaring intersections. I can't go on responding to anything less than a banquet.
Something left. I don't know what it is yet and don't want to put a name to it. Something left. My treasured past has mutated. You should ask your girlfriend what she's thinking, she's not a hologram.
I can't keep this old hoodie off my neck. We're gonna need tobacco after we read this map. She said the neighbors are out of town, let's go swim after dark, made me cringe below the water in the light of a melted star. And have I really felt love since then? Or just some lifelike holograms. On my back in my room asking the night, send me rosy rosy hair like fire. Be mine, all mine.
At a party once I met someone on the steps with the last drink and we were instant friends, imitating musicians. The next day I gave him a ride to get his car fixed. 17 years after and our laughter sounds no different. And have I really felt love since then?
