I’ve been waiting for you
Just like how you wanted me to
My cabin’s empty, if you are free
Come over, put your hands on me
Did you hear that come from outside?
Couldn’t hear, too hard on your grind
Make me feel special, you’re kind
You’ll never know until we’re out of time
So take me outside on this windswept night
In the pouring rain, oh the stars are blind
Don’t make a sound, I’ve heard it before
Under moonlight, forever, I’ll be yours
Plaid white buttoned-up shirt
You’re so gorgeous it hurts
To cleanse my soul, set the cabin on fire
And then this whole camp could burn
Pass out by a drop of blood
I’ll wake you up with the sound of a hum
Come on love, it’s time to leave
The way things are, it’s looking bleak
So take me outside on this windswept night
In the pouring rain, oh the stars are blind
Don’t make a sound, I’ve heard it before
Under moonlight, forever, I’ll be yours
Run, run, running away
I love you and I want you to stay
Run, run, running away
Can’t stop what’s already in play
Run, run, running away
Run, run, running away
Run, run, running away
Run, run, running away
Fuck
I love you
Shit
I do
Fuck
I love you
Shit
I do
Let things fall into place
Your tears will get lost in the rain
There are no more sunsets to see
I don’t think we’ll ever know peace
Your hair still smells like the lake
From the day we swam in the sun
I don’t know what this could’ve been
We’ll never know until we’re out of time
So take me outside on this windswept night
In the pouring rain, oh the stars are blind
Don’t make a sound, I’ve heard it before
Under moonlight, forever, I’ll be yours

Pop Girl/Space Cadet

You hit the nail on the head
With your portrait of the newest space cadet
And the way that you blend
All the colors into the red horizon
It’s truly a work of art
I wouldn’t have it any other way
So baby whip my soul into shape
And get me ready for the next spring
Watch the plants grow for inspiration
Maybe it could inspire some song
And when your heart rings true
I never ever ever look away
And that’s why I’m leaving you
It was never same, it never could be
Groaning on and on and on about the war
I didn’t even have to think twice
You complimented me on my song
I guess you’re sweet I never knew that
But then again your calves are like sticks
So I guess the loss isn’t that bad
But when you’re walking away
And I see you plant a kiss
On some other space cadet
And it’s my golden rule to
Never ever make a fool
Out of myself for some boy
And when you’re one of the pop girls
You don’t get to make the rules
You just sing to your hearts content
And that’s why I’ll die alone
But I’m not too sad
At least I get to sing about it
At least I get to sing about it
And I’m not too sad about it
I’ll just play the game
And never ever cry about it

Carnivorous ghosts want to keep you on retainer
But I wanna keep you here
I’m not done with you yet
Keep your ear on my chest
Love don't fail me now, don't let me go
End this emptiness and melt all the snow
Lonely as I am, I’m such a stubborn man
Love don't fail me now, don’t let me go
It’s the light in your eyes
You can read my mind
Please excuse my hands
They have a mind of their own
Love don't fail me now, don't let me go
End this emptiness and melt all the snow
Lonely as I am, I’m such a stubborn man
Love don't fail me now, don’t let me go
I just can’t let you go
Run to you in the sand
In the water, I follow
Run back to you again
Love, don’t fail me now
Don’t let me go
Put me between your thighs
I don’t need air
My head between your thighs
You give me life with your eyes
And like a mountain, I’ll climb
Oh, to have your ear on my chest
To have your lips on my breath
It’s a crime to disguise
The sway in the tides

I heard you’re going to war, Mr. Presley
When you come back, I’ll be right where you left me
On the road I won’t be
A packed suitcase you won’t see
And we both know how this ends
You’ll meet a girl over there and then
I’ll be standing by the door
What was I? Just some common whore,
That you underestimate
Oh my god, you make me so afraid
No I’m fast and light on my feet
I’ll outrun you, you will see
And I’ll meet an impersonator
Fall in love a little bit later
You add that touch of southern flavor
Your rough heart, my alligator
I heard you’re going to war, Mr. Presley
When you come back, I’ll be right where you left me
And so they say, history repeats
A flickering lightbulb on the street
Helps me believe in anomalies
And from the cycle, I’ll break free

Upstate New York

All good things must go
I tell the trees in late august
It’s only a matter of time
And then I look to the skyline
And make a wish upon a trail
Leading to better places
But for now I’m stuck
In the loop of seasons
Never quite reaching their peak
And so I love the snow
For when it cauterizes
The cracks in the drive
On my way to school
So temporary
Because if I stay
I’ll melt to a puddle
Freezing up when the cold comes
Unable to move
From this ring of torment
So I’ll do my best
To form some legs
And push myself
Back into the bed I made
You’re my only vice
A monument of trust
Crumbles before you
Will you understand that you’re the cause?
“Why is Sam so sad?”
You say with your chest
If it’s in his mind then you will never know
Until he holds a sheet with aerial font
Spells it out for you plain and simple
“I don’t belong here”
With upstate New York
Breathing down my neck
Every road I turn looks the same
Coniferous trees loom tall above me
Blacking out the sun
If I’m so scared then why can’t you be too?
It’s only right and it’s only fair
That you feel the way I do
Because I know you’re a believer
When you said you prayed
For me everyday
If that were true, I’d be immune
To all that you brought down on me
Walking up to school
With tears frozen down my face
Thinking, “is this how it’s supposed to be?”
And I couldn’t wait for the snow to fall again
To tame my open flame
And you know I’m not all here
Emotional to the touch
And I’ll get better
But first, I need to fall
Maybe moving home isn’t the worst idea
Sleeping in the room I built
A foundation
Oxidized by your fleeting presence
This is where I’ll begin
So I’ll seal away everything that haunts me
Staring while I sleep
Never to be seen again
And then willingly go back
To how I was before
And with every memory that we shared
Tarnished by an ember you bore
And so I’ll feed it more oxygen
Never to be seen again

Sprite

I’ll stand on the corner
I’ll wait here all day
I’ll watch the sun fade
and the sky turn to gray
Oh no, I could never
See you that way
Stand in the window
Read over mistakes
I’d try to fix things
But they never end
A sprite in a loop
Never see the end
I’ll stand here all night
Wait for someone to pass
And ask them to look up
So they see it, too
I’ll stand here all night
Wait for someone to pass
And ask them to look up
So they see it, too
