share a kiss (or two)
01:11

it is the season
there is no rhyme or reason
it’s gettin’ colder
so i’ve been feelin’ bolder
so i’ll tell you
that i love you
and how i wish i could hold
closer tonight
and maybe when the time’s right
i’ll share a kiss or two
with you
oh i will share a kiss or two
with you

salt water taffy
01:55
|
|||
things i wanna say
are sticking to my teeth
like salt water taffy
the things that i feel
are sticking to my mind
and i can’t shake them out
shake them off
no matter how i hard i try
maybe it’s a cruel joke
played on me
by some invisible entity
when i came to exist
it slathered in glue
and slapped me on my wrist
and said good luck kid
you’re gonna need it
cause the things you wanna say
will be sticking to your teeth
like salt water taffy
and the things that you feel
will be sticking to your mind
and you can’t shake them out
shake them off no matter how hard you try
and you can’t shake them out
shake them off no matter how hard you try
no i can’t shake them out
shake them off
no matter how hard i try

100 paces this way that way
trying to get your attention
but i keep on making these dumb mistakes
can’t seem to concentrate
on the task at hand
when it comes to you
i must admit that i’m a fan
guess one could say i’m in love
oh what have i become?
swear i caught your eye last night
when i walked across your lawn
it was nearly dawn
but the moon kept shining
brightly on and on
was too bright for me
and i couldn’t sleep
so i thought i’d take a walk
as i was moving past
i spared a passing glance and saw your light was on
bad first impressions are my forte
was 13 when we first met
and i decided that I’d ask you out on a date
you shut me down right away
then you said maybe one day
you had a girlfriend at the time
but now it seems too late
but who knows?
i could be wrong
you were probably joking all along
swear i caught your eye last night
when i walked across your lawn
it was nearly dawn
but the moon kept shining
brightly on and on
spared your house a passing glance
when i noticed your light was still on
but i’m not a creep
so i decided to keep
my eyes fixed on the lawn

don’t wanna go home
03:27

down on the river bed
skipping rocks with you
stepping out of my comfort zone
to get close to you
i’ve been doing things i won’t normally do
with one goal in mind and it’s you
so i don’t wanna go home
if i could stay out with you all night i would
you’ve got stars in your eyes
when we’re together
[ i ] don’t even look up at the skies
so i don’t wanna go home
i don’t wanna go home
no i don’t wanna go home
layin out on the grass with you
i know it’s itchy but
i’ll pretend it’s not for you
i got bit by a bug or two
i know you did as well
but you won’t admit it
will you?
i can’t handle this yet
i know your eyes
i’ll never forget
cause i love you
and i mean that
can’t think nothin bad of you
i’ve got no regrets
so i don’t wanna go home
if i could stay out with you all night i would
you’ve got stars in your eyes
when we’re together
[ i ] don’t even look up at the skies
so i don’t wanna go home
i don’t wanna go home
no i don’t wanna go home

ivy

you wipe me down in clove
you falter
you wash yourself in
holy water
i know i disappoint my father
or does he disappoint me?
it’s hard to see with all this
uncertainty
flowing all around me
but one i know for sure
is that i have a hard time letting go
your ivy covers me
i cannot sleep
i cannot dream
your ivy smothers me
i cannot speak
i cannot breathe
your ivy covers me
it covers
i’m covered
your ivy smothers me
it smothers
i’ll paint these walls with love
i promise
you wipe them clean
you’re brutal but not honest
you’re disillusioned
that’s acknowledged
at least acknowledged by me
you’ve got the words
i wish to say
stuck behind my lips
can’t get no further
but this i know for sure
is that i’m gonna have to let you go
your ivy covers me
i cannot sleep
i cannot dream
your ivy smothers me
i cannot see
i cannot breathe
your ivy covers me
i cannot sleep
i cannot dream
your ivy smothers me
i cannot see
i cannot breathe
your ivy covers me
it covers
i’m covered
your ivy smothers me
i’m smothered

your own worst enemy
02:00
|
|||
and you’re so
lonely
but can’t you see
your hands are out in front of you
pushin’ everyone away
silly dove
oh my love
can’t you see you are
your own worst enemy
can’t you see only
your critiques are complete
can’t you see only your critiques
are cutting you
beneath your armour
cutting you beneath your armour
but all you do’s complain
bout the way it’s been these days
but tell me
who’s the one to blame?
when you haven’t made the change
silly dove
oh my love
can’t you see you are
your own worst enemy
can’t you see
only your critiques are complete
can’t you see
only your critiques
are cutting you beneath your armour
cutting you beneath your armour
cutting you
beneath your armour

could i?

wish that i was baking bread
and sippin belladonna tea
wish i had chickens & goats
i think it’d make me real happy
maybe all i need is
to stop takin for granted
what’s in front of me
then maybe
oh maybe
that’s the day i could be truly happy
wish i could do
somethin’ brand new
but everything’s been taken
wish i could feel original
without being mistaken
maybe all i need is
to stop taking for granted
what’s inside of me
then maybe
oh maybe
thats the day i could be truly happy
i’d bake a fruit pie
just to get my point across
that you’re the apple of my eye
walk a mile or two
just to get a mile or two
closer to you
wish we were eating fresh baked bread
and sipping belladonna tea
wish we had chickens & goats
i know it’d make us real happy
maybe all i need is
to stop taking for granted
what’s in front of me
then maybe
that’s the day i could be truly happy
wish we could do
something brand new
but everything’s been taken
we’re gonna be original
who cares if we’re mistaken
maybe all i need is
to stop taking for granted
what’s in front and inside of me
and with great pride i declare
that today’s the day
that i’m truly happy
yes i’m truly happy
oh i’m truly happy

valleys and mountains

what a hopeless romantic
sitting in my bed
writing love songs about you
i’m so adamant
we’re like romeo
without juliet
perhaps without the capulet
it could be less tragic
could be like magic
we could be like magic
sorting out my thoughts
to compile ‘em
into comprehensible statements
but i value ambiguity
so whatever i say
it can’t be too blatant
i hope that it still makes sense
oh
cause i long to be near you
even if at times i don’t appear to
throwing pennies in every fountain
to get to you
i’d cross valley and mountain
swiftly sordid pacin’
i know i can’t give up
if it’s your love i’m chasin
don’t think my time is wasting
at least i’ve got goals
yes that’s right i’m aimin
for the star that is your heart
and i digress
cause i love it when you’re near me
our time together i hold dearly
in the pocket of my mind
where my fondest memories rest and hide
oh how i long!
how i long to be near you
even if at times
i don’t appear to
throwing pennies in every fountain
to get to you
i’d cross valley and mountain
valleys and mountains
valleys and mountains
