Red Tracks in the Snow

Drag me home
I don't want to be alone
Cause tonight I'm gone
Straight through to the bone
Carry me, oh, carry me
Carry me out of the cold
Red Tracks in the Snow

Flowers and Dinner
04:39
|
|

I'll buy you Flowers
To put in your hair
To distract you from my eyes
When you ask what's under there
All these thoughts in my head
Too much alone for me to bear
Try to understand
Teach me how to share
Cause I
I love you
I'll take you out to Dinner
Just what I can afford
I'll give you my jacket
However bad the storm
I'll get you anything
That you should ever need
To tear your eyes away
From things you shouldn't see
Cause I
I love you
Cause the world went silent
For a little while
She just stood there
And watched you smile
And my mother told me
Close your mouth
Unless you want
All your words to just fall out
And I know I can be
A little much
But I can't get past
This little crush

Glaciers

Well be sure to write
And send plenty of pictures
Getting drunk with the Glaciers
Be sure to come home
Be sure to visit
Me down by the river
God knows you'll miss me
With the trees and the foliage
Jumpin' off by the bridge
Just remember this
I'll be here for you
Yeah I promise to
Remember twenty twelve
Gettin' drunk in your basement
It was the end of the world
Dropped you down the stairs
I swear you hit your head
Yeah well I'm sorry about that
My girl

Northcountry
03:47
|
|

Yeah the bark learned to grow
Higher up on the trees
Couldn't stand to hear me yelling
At the birds and the bees
But the branches came around
Tried to calm me down
But I scratched and kicked
Until I was free
I was lost in the forest
With my hands growing cold
I couldn't feel my brain
Under all of that snow
And the wind felt warm as I froze
Yeah the wind felt warm as I froze
I listened to her scream
In different prose, in different verse
Singing me to sleep
Soft enough it didn't hurt
And like a prick on my arm
Yeah she smiled
Said, some along
So I yelled and ran
Until my legs didn't work
Civilization
Why did you bury me
In constant stimulation
Repeat repeat repeat
It's never-ending
It's never-ending
What did Mercedes say
To make me buy her cars
Yeah she told me I'm a sell out
Said you'll learn to love sports bars
So buy your Tracy Chapman
Cause you won't get far
Between here and the woods
The road's got pot holes and scars
So relax and lay back
Take a load off those knees
No one will know you're gone
Not even the birds and the bees
Said don't worry, just listen
Take your pills and remedies
Forget about the road, the wind
The bark and the trees
But I want to remember
I just want more
I want to travel from the desert
To the western shore
I want to see lions
And elephants
I want to drop from the sky
I want to live out of tents
I want to see love
I want to see war
I want to see hunger
I just want more
I want to feel the wind
On the back of my eyes
I want to hear the leaves whistle
I want to watch the snow cry
I want to watch the grass grow
I want to plant my own seeds
I want to go home
I miss the birds and the bees
(I miss the Northcountry)

Alphabet Soup
05:20
|
|

I'll be in
The darkest places
In the back side of my head
In concentrated spaces
Wishing I was dead
Like nails stuck on a chalkboard
It hurts more than you'd guess
This might more than I can handle
I'm not as strong as I profess
Like origami sculptures
We fold when we should break
Stuck here in the past year
Is more than I can take
Complementary roses
Sit around on Christmas day
Yeah I loved you through the winter
And I'll love you to my grave
You'll find me in the snow
Trying to ice my broken heart
To save it from the wolves
And the creatures of the dark
I'll be sleeping in the ice here
What's the point if I can't talk
To the girl I fell in love with
Who holds my broken parts
Denial is a word that we should never breath
But it sneaks right through our lungs
So concentrate and expedite
The thoughts that keep you up at night
Sleep through completion
Three two one
Curiosity might kill but he's a clever one
Yeah he's still got five more lives
What he doesn't know
Is that it starts to take its toll
And it eats you out
From the inside
Yeah life's just more confusing than I thought it'd be
It's like eating Alphabet Soup
All the letters float around
Different consonants and vowels
Spelling things
I though I knew
Oh but one thing that I know is I can't take much more
The snow looks warmer by the day
So I'll make a bed
Lay down my head
And get some final rest
Don't wake me up
I know I'm safe

Cape Cod

Cape Cod won't you
Miss me
Sitting, dreaming
Quietly
There's a bug on the corner of my mattress
He heard all of my secrets now he's laughing
He said, "Boy you better learn to move past this
All the silver and the glitter and the plastic."
New York don't you
Love me
Hometown, settle down
Quietly
There's a bear in the middle of the staircase
He said "Boy you better find what's your right place
Get the Hell out the way and out of my space
Better love what you do or it's a damn shame."

Drops of Rain
03:41
|
|

My hair is falling out
My teeth are biting down
On these words stuck in my mouth
That I just can't pronounce
Swallowed down
Like broken sounds
Your picture's on the wall
Of the inside of my head
You know that I adore
All the monsters that I fed
Under my bed
No I don't want to let the time by
Cause we both know
How time flies
So I'll keep it at my bedside
The time we had
Was just yours and mine
I'm knocking at the door
Ringing my own neck
Hoping to ask for
Questions to address
Please oh please don't forget
I'll see you in a week or less
Cleaning up the floor
Mopping my own blood
Grabbing ice and water
Filling up the tub
But you keep me here my love
Cause I don't want to let the time by
Cause we both know
How time flies
So I'll keep it at my bedside
The time we had
Was just yours and mine
My nose is pressed against
The cloudy window pane
Watching cars pass
Counting Drops of Rain
Can't wait to see you again
No I can't wait to see you again

BLUE MOON
Tee shirts
Can't stop thinking about her
I can't stop thinking about her
White leaves
Red flowers
Kicking down the street
Hold me while I sleep
I can't move on
Bloodshot eyes
Runny nose
Yeah I kissed you on the cheek
Held your hand as mine froze
Broken hearts
Blackened soles
I'd walk until my feet fell off
To make up for what I did wrong
I can't move on
It's just a bad dream
But right now I can't fall asleep
It's the fire
Ignited and burning
Excited and yearning
To prove itself
The shades are drawn
To hide myself
Up on the shelf
With the pot peri and CD's
I hope you miss me
Well I'm sorry but I love you
