Geese in Flight

i feel as though i died today
dead end streets and shades of gray
it's time for you to leave but hey
geese in flight so sail away
seasons change that's how it goes
days turn cold and the north wind blows
it's time for you to leave but hey
geese in flight so sail away
if we knew how to dance, we'd have danced all night
maybe that would've made things right
my heart's right here but i lost my way
geese in flight, so sail away
i feel as though i died today
dead end streets and shades of gray
it's time for you to leave but hey
geese in flight so sail away

don't talk to them about me
they can't see what's been going on
and i've been doing alright
i've let my heart and my mind take flight
wish you felt the way i felt
when you said that there was somebody else
goddamn it hurt my heart
wake up tangled in my sheets
but some nights i just succumb to the weight of my dreams
and i hope she knows
the way that you used to hold me close
i'm sorry i was not enough
and please, remember me
and the way that we made love
and don't forget that i loved you
before you broke me apart
and you're my worst stranger
you've done things I never thought you'd do
did you find inside of her
the home that i never was to you
i lay in bed and i think about my love in someone else's arms
i can't forgive you anymore
and please, remember me
and the way that we made love
and don't forget that i loved you
before you broke me apart

Best White Socks

half-open half-hearted
i'm half-broken, half-way home
don't call my name i'm half asleep
i'm mixing drinks
got a cactus that's dying
my room, its gone dry again
they said you can't kill it
but i did with my own two hands
we'll lay in bed after sex
smoke cigarettes
and we'll wear our best white socks
and i know
that i should go
but i liked the way he kissed me goodnight
mother she wants me gone
but my car won't start
and she wants me to take it apart
and he's standing by the highway
he's saying i can stay
but i'm watching a car swerve
down the road there's a club for girls
and i think of her
and her fake fur coat
i couldn't love her if i wanted to
i've never been in love
not the way that kids are
and car swerves off the road
driver's half-baked, half-haunted by all his mistakes
and so i look back at him
he tastes like cigarettes
we'll have sex in our best white socks
and i know
that i should go
but i liked the way he kissed me goodnight

Backporch Goodbye

i said that i'd wait and now i'm standing at the back of your door
and i still love you
i still love you
i said that i'd wait and now i'm standing at the back of your door
and i still love you
i still love you
don't get over my love with her love oh my love
don't touch your lips to my neck
it stings now, poison kisses
you sang broken hearted songs when we were in love
i left my sheets on the line too long
bloody and stained with you
don't tell me i'm in ecstasy
i can't see this side of me
you slept in her sheets before i washed mine
such little time
and i gave you all i had
young love i learned from my dad
what have you done,
we were in love
and what have you done,
i'm moving on
i hate what you've done now i'm drinking a bottle of wine
and i wish that you weren't doing so fine, fine, fine
and i hate when you've done, i thought that you were mine
but i guess this is what happens in time
i said that i'd wait, but i'm leaving you don't get my time
and i still love you
but not like i used to

black sheep baby
tell me stories about what it was like to be you
i'm homesick, my heart hurts
i left town to see Jane
but she's got someone else to her name
i get lost when i'm driving
have fears that i'm dying
if you don't mind,
i'd like some of your time
come back and see me
i'm twenty and lonely
and my dad thinks it's all in my mind
black sheep baby
said it was all for fun but i'm a mess thinking about you
i'm burning the coffee
the sky looks the same to me
even when it's going blood red
i get lost when i'm driving
have fears that i'm dying
if you don't mind
i'd like some of your time
i'd like some of your time
