The Sun is Out and So am I
Elvis costello
And the court house where I recieved my first ticket
My father and I
The scent of coffee lined with telephone wires;
I imagined I was driving
And I imagined you were there too for a little while
Just to see what you might say
If anything;
I saw a crumbling house Today
in the middle of a grassy field
I thought how lovely it might be
To live in a crumbling house
In the middle of a grassy field
I'd fix it up
And make it so quaint
Even my mother
Would feel at peace there
And so would I ...

You Said It
You admited it
Yes you said it
What we've both been thinking
I was upset
And you like to read my mind
You told me
You broke up with her
because of me
And maybe that's no good
Maybe we're lying to ourselves
I don't really know anymore
All I know
Is that you said it
And it all seemed romantic suddenly
The way we were looking at eachother
The way we first kissed in the darkness of your room
Amelie style
That being the most cheesy thing I've ever done in my life

The Punk Girls I Know
I am perplexed by your rawness;
Correction:
your love of what you think is raw;
Posting pictures on instagram where you can see the line of hickies on your neck,
Devoting the comments to lyrics from songs I like that I almost wish I didn't now;
I am distracted by your weight on the world
Taking pictures on train tracks
Dying your hair black
Or slightly purple
I'm not really sure
Maybe blue
And you smile
You smile that smile of self fufillment
as if you have recieved what you deserve in this world ...

As if
We love the idea of protecting ourselves
As if
Us trying
Makes us more inteligent than those that have not
As if protecting our selves
Is worth the what if's
As if
protecting ourselves is really what we are doing
As if
It's working
As if
It's helping
It's not at all actually
Not for me at least
Tell me what I'm doing wrong
As if
Us trying
Makes us more inteligent than those that have not
As if protecting our selves

It's working

It's not at all actually
Not for me at least

The One
It's hard to decide when you're dating out of lonliness or dating in search of what they call "the one"
Where do you draw the line
where do you specify
Is it okay to just want to fill the gap
Even in the most minimalistic sense
Our obsession with monogamy
And our obsession with not
When can we tell were lying to ourselves
When were lying to pass the time
When were lying to please our parents
When were lying to please society
When were lying so much
Just because we know we can
Just because we love lying
No matter how much...

Mother
I used to dream there was a fire
I still sometimes dream that there was a fire
Sometimes I get out
and sometimes I don’t
But either way I’m left uncomfortable with all that I have left behind
I am so dependent on my records and my blow dryer and all the in between
Yes I admit it
And I don’t think thats so bad
I don’t think it makes me any less fulfilled
Than you
Or her
Or that nun that told me God was always watching me
Making me more scared of Religious figures than the monsters in scary movies
Mother, Please stop trying to...

It Does Not Feel Like August Anymore
We've been doing this thing
where we lay around and talk about anything and everything
that matters and doesn't matter
In the darkness of your bedroom and the brightness of mine;
Sometimes a record is on-
Sometimes you're playing a song you're too awkward to sing at full volume;
Sometimes were unbelievably happy-
And sometimes we are not;
And maybe this doesn't really matter
Maybe you will die before 30 like you told me the other night when I tried being honest about my fears
And maybe I won't
(Who knows?)
But I can't...

I am Sick with Validation
I am depressed once again
Distraught with ideas of destruction
And possibly Corruption,
Things happening without me
Being left behind
I'm sorry
I cannot talk about these things yet
Ill call you back;
But the truth is
I just want your support
I want you to hold me and tell me its okay tell me I can
Cry
Cry
Cry
Into unknown territory-
Teach me stable living;
Then,
When I wipe the tears
You'll hand me a glass of water
And we can sit on my bed
And talk about insects
And our...

Maybe it's Okay
We played hide and seek in the pitch black with your friends with no flashlight to guide us and some glasses of gin
I wasn't drunk but I'm weird and I know your friends thought I was;
After a while we kept hiding in the same spots so we could make out while no one was looking
I loved when you smiled at me
It felt like the ocean
When no one's there except me
The moon shining off it like magic;
And I don't know how we got here
I don't know how it took so long either
But I love feeling like this
I strangely love the nervousness; ...

Try to Bring me Down, I Dare You
Something has been lifted
From my bones
Like a caccoon plucked from my being in my sleep
A breath wider than the other spaces
Stolen from me
Yes taken without asking
Don't worry I rather you keep it anyway
Dont worry about my feelings
If you were at all anyway;
Something has been lifted
From my bones
And it feels so good,
So fucking good,
Is it possible
that being with you
Could stop a war
From stabbing my insides
Tsunami's washing away
My temperment
Demons hailing down on the earth...
From my bones
Like a caccoon plucked from my being in my sleep
A breath wider than the other spaces
Stolen from me
Yes taken without asking
Don't worry I rather you keep it anyway
Dont worry about my feelings
If you were at all anyway;
Something has been lifted
From my bones
And it feels so good,
So fucking good,
Is it possible
that being with you
Could stop a war
From stabbing my insides
Tsunami's washing away
My temperment
Demons hailing down on the earth...

Mercury
It's strange
How The trickle of lonliness
Like rusted faucets
Leaking contaminated tap water
Can affect you when you are with people
Cars passing
while she talks about another party;
despite all the good nights I've had,
The nights I laugh so much my stomach hurts
The days I thought I loved in a self improved way,
Happen to be incomparable to when I am with you;
And I've liked people before
Yes too much at times
But it was never like this
No it was never so simple;
I don't feel sad in the spaces between...
How The trickle of lonliness
Like rusted faucets

The days I thought I loved in a self improved way,

Thoughts of Better Days
Boiled water
fizzle pop
Buzzing sounds
At the break of dawn
Chilled bones and watching the sun
Rise to meet our tomorrows;
Goodbye for now, dear mister moon
