Pontchartrain
02:44
|

See if I hadn’t been down south
I would have spent the time around you
But since I’m probably out of town
We talk and I hope it sounds true
When I’m not trapped up inside
I’m on a flight or amidst a drive
Pray to god it doesn’t rain
When I’m above Lake Pontchartrain
Copper wire and an upturned ride
It’s time spent staring at the sky
Walking through the Marigny
For Euclid past Bywater east
Dodging rainclouds northbound flight
If all holds I’ll be there tonight
These months are passing by like fields
That you and I used to drive by
Now I pass in an empty seat
In the bus I plan to arrive by

Montana Girl
02:34
|
|||
I'm eastbound on I-90
Thinking 'bout next summer
Cause we could meet in Missoula
Hike until our lungs hurt
Till my lungs hurt
It's not all that hurts if I don't see her
It's something bigger I'm feeling sure
Oh Montana girl, you're on my mind
Twelve long months pass but we'll be fine
When I see you we will spend the time
Staring at the sky from concert lines
I'm eastbound out of Portland
It's a lazy taste of alpine
I guess you're somewhere below me
Smiling under cloud lines
Keep me cloud lines
Cause I've spent about half of my life in fear
Of things that never seem to appear
For my sake leave Minnesota in June
I think her name is calling you so
Oh Montana girl you're on his mind
Twelve long months will pass but we'll all be fine
(Will I be fine, will I be fine)
Wish I'd lived my life like cheers with wine
And I'll think of you both as he makes the drive

Bridges For the Young
04:07
|
|||
The day to day is tougher
I tend to fall behind in self regard
It’s only nine past ten
And you can see the city reach for dark
Backlight spies on more than some
I’ll retrace steps to where I’m wrong
Building islands for the young
Taking pictures in the sun
I am one
Roman busts and statues
Repurposed cassettes
Three more hours to daylight
Time is running thin for bets
Seems that I’ve dreaming
And forthwith cross the skies
Overdubs and recaps, platters multiply
The soundtrack to your worries
The force that’s kept inside
Amidst the doubt and troubles
I’ll see you there in five
Backlight spies on more than some
I’ll retrace steps to where I’m wrong
Building islands for the young
Taking pictures in the sun
I am one

Force Majeure
01:53
|
|||
Life’s a force majeure
When you feel unsure
Of the path you’ll take
After what have lost
The motivation key
Feet in the sand
I have made mistakes
In the past four years
Staring at the sun
Trying to figure
Pulling leaves and branches from the
Drought stricken trees
Spinning down the highway
Hoping that you still feel the same

Love You Too
02:59
|
|||
In the distance I can see my home
Apart from home itself
You can find me near a highway
Or in a room all by myself
It’s hard to say if I’m overthinking all the things I feel
I’ll take your hand in the extra moments just to know it’s real, so
I’ll stay with you
Cause you know we’re not alone
In moments like these
It’s hard to see your face like that so
I’ll stay with you
Love you too
I dreamt I was walking around
The world had turned way upside down
And you were with me
I’ll probably lie down with background noise just to aid the feel
I’ll take your hand in the extra moments just to know it’s real, so
I’ll stay with you
Cause you know we’re not alone
In moments like these
It’s hard to see your face like that so
I’ll stay with you
Love you too

Postal Codes
03:27
|
|||
I left the gate while in a daze
Cleveland’s covered in a haze
Now I’m back for just awhile
Above the Great Lakes by several miles
On the road
Postal Codes
No one wants to be the first to admit they’re feeling scared
Clinging to these summer months before rough feelings spread
Miles above Lake Michigan at the moment it’s all fine
3 AM when I’m southeast and it seems so hypnotized
Family streaming through the door
An empty parking lot at four
In a hammock chasing jets
Finding extra time to dub cassettes
|

Suits and Coats
03:52
|
|||
I found myself in the west coast
Climbing rocks and learning to let go
I think about it when I’m not there
But at the edge I only stare
I crane my neck as I leave the sea
Above the mountains moving east
Look outside and know you’re not your phone
Don’t take the predetermined two-way road
Let’s ditch the people in the suits and coats
You’re only real if you can see your vote
The surf is wide and I feel the breeze
Temp has dropped but I need release

The Life We Live
02:19
|
|||
My phone was dead as you jumped aside
A purple sweater covered your eyes
Running back from the woods
And these headlights make me sigh
Cause I know you’re coming back for me this time
(my angle’s fine) it’s here we sat with all our feet and stuff aligned
Running back from the woods just to check to see you’re fine
If you give me time by myself
You may find I won’t misgive
Open doors on two way highways
Seems to be the life we live

Swather's Gamble

He’s cut free from the ground
He’ll spread green from the sound

Father's Ramble
02:14
|

Cherry bowl beside him
Time passes by
Is it irresponsible
When it’s a sunny day outside

Water Boils
04:03
|
|||
I’ve lived my life in the cold
Changing coats as I grow old
Our lives are painted in the snow
The falling will coat this stone
Close your window for the storm
In all our houses and our dorms
When all this extra time
Cedes to real life
I realize there’s no escape
Staring at the fields
Nothing’s really real
I make the winter now my home
I measure days by water boils
Mugs of tea and frozen soil
The earth is chilled and I am warm
This bridge is strong but in bad form
When all this extra time
Cedes to real life
I realize there’s no escape

Reveries
03:31
|
|||
I’ll miss the rolling hills
I’ll miss the drives
The pines and cherry trees
Your soft brown eyes
The hammock sways
And the tape deck plays
I’ll come back here another day
We’ll make the same mistakes
All of our lives
For now we’ll lie right here
And stare at the sky
Windows open passing empty schools
The earth is warm and I will see you soon
The hammock sways
And the tape deck plays
I’ll come back here another day
We’ll make the same mistakes
All of our lives
For now we’ll lie right here
And stare at the sky
Building islands for the young
Taking pictures in the sun
I am one
