Don't Ask Me Why
03:29

At first I called to maybe say,
that actually, I want to go to sleep
I'm tired, I worked all week
But hearing your voice was so nice
I wanted to go to it
on the rocks where you said you sit
I told you that I'd be there soon
I biked down St. Claude under the moon
and when I pulled up you walked toward me too
I wished you'd stay sat, don't ask me why
maybe so that I could come sit by your side
the way that I saw it play out in my mind
It's a mystery to me,
who you think you're going to see
every time you meet up with me
But there must be some consistency
that you can construct better than me
cause every time we meet it's me that you see

Nothing I Can Do
03:29
|

|
I've kept my thoughts of you at bay,
cleared them all away, but that's about to change
They say a storm is off the shore
and it's about to make landfall
If everything they say is true,
there's nothing I can do to keep my mind off you
I remember everything like it was last night,
you and I apart in rain just doesn't feel right
It's only a matter of time
before you're on my mind in the eye-wall
I venture out into the eye
the rain falls all around me, but I'm dry
You say I'm wrong, that you don't hate me
I say, I'm fine, I lie, you inundate me
Let's take this in stride,
when the wind picks back up, we'll both go inside
That last gust nearly broke my window
You took your love away so fast that I don't feel well
I promise once the skies are clear
I'll wipe you from my memory, I'll stop my lingering
I won't waste another beer
mourning the love you took away from me

Sometimes Someone
02:12

My sweet sometimes someone
will you be to me
just this one time the someone you used to be
My sweet sometimes someone
will you sit by me?
though you're someone else's don't be cold to me
My sweet sometimes someone,
tell me just one thing
are you sweeter on her than you were on me?
Your love used to feed me, burn me and be cruel
Now all I've got's this longing that's made me into a fool
My sweet sometimes someone's someone else's now
I know there's no more sometimes,
I'll stop hanging 'round

Remember When
03:16
|

|
Remember when, last Halloween,
inside your car, just you and me
I looked outside, I couldn't see
You took me away from everything
Now that I can be anywhere
do anything and you don't care
I'm bound again, but by despair
cause all I want, is you there
I'll try not to get stuck on you
Just give me time, I'll get there soon
Remember what you said to me
On that night, last Halloween
your neck, your ear were warm and sweet
'No one does what you do to me'
I'll try not to give into gloom
I'll look around, I'll be done soon
I'll try not to get stuck on you
Just give me time, I'll get there soon

Skate Song

You start off so slow and easy
always braced for a fall
Trying to keep your mind free from
any thoughts at all
It's better to start on the soft grass
before you move to concrete
Make sure you're good and balanced
before you rise up to your feet
With hands out in front and your knees bent
stand up from crawling position
Slowly take some steps forward
with weight on your back foot for friction
When you've found that your balance is solid
there's no need to pick up and put down
You'll see that you're pushing and striding
your feet never leaving the ground
If you're always poised to fall down
when you're rolling on concrete
It'll take more than a rock in the road
to knock you off of your feet

Confine Your Heartache
02:30
|
|||
|
Confine your heartache to the bed
Keep it under the covers,
don't bring it out into day
Keep it tucked in and cozy
Bring it out only in May
When you've fucked up
and forgotten again
What a fool you must be
So you're starting a new one
It's all the same, you'll see
Don't you remember November?
Your anchor to keep love at bay
To keep your heart honest
and closed up and safe
Confine your heartache

Bobby
I’m a little jealous of ya
We’ve got a similar style, but it looks better on ya
You dress like Annie Hall, you’re so cute and you’re so small
Bobby
Bobby
I’m a little jealous of ya
You took the room in my old house, but I'm the one who moved out
You seem cool and you seem nice
and I ain’t got nothing against ya
You're alright with me
Bobby
Bobby
I’m just a little jealous of ya
Heard you’re hangin with my ol' man, just heard it from a friend
I’m not saying that he’s all mine, I hope you two had a real good time
Bobby
Bobby
I’m a little jealous of ya
You’re the new girl in town, with the cute boys that name gets around
I’m not tryna make it a thing, just acknowledging a feeling
Bobby
You’re alright with w me

I dream you've said goodbye
a hundred times,
a hundred ways
before I wake
But then I feel your breath
against my ear
whispering goodbye,
this is no dream, my dear
I'm half asleep
You say you like my teeth
as you pack your bags
I'll see you in a week
in Minneapolis
Last night,
we biked through the pouring rain
to us it's all the same
We stopped for that red wine,
the one we liked last time
And now
our mouths are stained,
we're not ashamed,
we're in the bath
soaking off the rain
I dream you've said goodbye
a hundred times,
a hundred ways
before I wake
But then I feel your breath
against my ear
whispering goodbye,
this is no dream, my dear
And in the morning
you'll leave for Minneapolis
Just give me one more kiss
I must remind myself
to remember this

Funny Sweet Thing You
03:09
|

Why am I holding onto a cloud?
Why should I explain when I know I'm on my way out?
Oh funny, how you think you're on such solid ground,
When all you had to do was look down
One more month away and I'm on the verge of running
Then you do that thing you do,
Draw me in with something funny,
You funny sweet thing, you
On the phone we're acting chummy,
Don't have the heart to say I'm through
When will the time apart dry out
What's left of me and you?
Why am I holding onto a cloud?
Why should I explain when I know I'm on my way out?
Oh funny, how you think you're on such solid ground,
When all you had to do was look down
One more month away and I'm on the verge of running
Then you do that thing you do,
Draw me in with something funny,
You funny sweet thing, you

Love Vault Waltz
04:00
|

I loved you once and my heart, it will always remember,
things that begin in the spring always die in September
We’ve both had our own loves in the time that we spent apart,
but now that we’re friends, I find that you remain in my heart
I swear that I don’t have a vault in my heart just for you
with all of the things we think of, but no longer do
We still stay up late and listen to music for hours,
but now when dawn breaks, we go home to our own separate towers
We do all the same things, we just don’t end up in your bed
We say it’s for the better, but what exactly is better, we leave unsaid
Don’t think I’m deaf to your long, mournful sigh
whenever after our night ends and we hug goodbye
And don’t think I’m blind to your sad, sidelong glance,
I can see that you’re mourning our short-lived but long gone romance
Where do all of these sweet, late night moments go?
And if I stored them away, I bet nobody would know
I loved you once and my heart, it does not forget
She can throw quite a fit, that erratic thing, I try not to upset
So each time I feel her start to prickle and pine,
I just take a moment, talk to her, tell her, she’ll be just fine
I don’t have a vault in my heart that’s made just for you,
but I know if I had one, I’d put all these moments in too
