i’ve never been one to beg
until there was somethin
until there was
somethin about the way you didn’t say nothin
til later on
there was somethin in your eyes that tried
but your mouth didn’t follow through
and i waited for you
and i waited for you
it opens it closes It opens it closes It opens and it closes it opens and it closes
it opens it closes it opens it closes it opens and it closes it opens and it closes
i only wished to be water
to flow in and out of
to smoothe what was rough
i only wanted to be enough
There was somethin very scared and bare
somethin that i swallowed
something long ago
somethin in the water
and i hid it from you
and i hid it from you
it opens it closes It opens it closes It opens and it closes it opens and it closes
it opens it closes it opens it closes it opens and it closes it opens and it closes

you look so handsome in your white dress
never really seen you ‘til I seen you like this
still sick about your birthday
never meant to send you off that way
you look so pretty in your suit
never seen a man who looks anything like you
still sick about the morning after we parted ways
we parted ways
i never meant to send you off like a barrel of sour wine in summertime, no
I always meant to love you right
even when i decided to leave us behind
for time alone inside my bones
take me lake michigan i’ll fix us something good
let me fix all that i’ve broken
actually it’s fine if you cannot find any time or reason
i am loving seeing you in season
even if i cannot really be there with you
with you
with you
with you
with you
a strip of yellow light, it fell
right across your cheekbone and lit up your eye
i’ll see it when i close mine
remembering you all dressed in white
i’ll prob’ly head home soon but i’m happy to’ve stood briefly in your blessed light
i’ll see you again sometime
with both arms toward the sky
both eyes wide
i never meant to make you cry and sit there stonefaced and dry-eyed in wintertime
i always meant to love you right
even when i decided to leave us behind
for time alone inside my bones
take me to the rolling dunes
i’ll fix us something good
let me fix all that i’ve broken
actually, it’s fine if you cannot find any time or reason
i am loving seeing you in season
even if i cannot really be there with you
with you
with you
with you
with you
i’ll prob’ly head home soon but i’m happy to’ve stood briefly in your blessed light
i’ll see you again sometime
with both arms toward the sky
both eyes wide

Breaking/Broken

am i breaking/am i broken
or somewhere in between
somethin unspoken
that room could never hold me
just like you never held me
who were we kidding
and i’ll sift through the mounds of our shit
Thought it was a waste of time
but i’m siftin through it
fine-toothed pick
skeleton
parting my way through
pardon me if i’m rude on the way on the way out
did i close the door too loud
too loud
am i solid
am i liquid
was i the only one
was it all fiction
my voice could never move you
take care of you or soothe
who did you run to
And i looked through the things that you left
Probably for far too long
And i held my regrets to my chest
one more breath
in and out of you
pardon me if i’m rude on the way out
did i close the door too loud
did i drag it out slow
did i drag it out slow
did i drag it out
drag it out slow
did i drag it out slow
did i drag it out
did i drag it out slow

i walked alone on that saturday
wishin you away, whisperin your name
hopin the wind would wrap you in its wings
take you far from me
hold me up to see you goin
And on the way back in my rearview mirror
Thought i saw you floatin
Wish i’d seen it clearer
And in the mornin after i woke up
A glimmer of god opened up my throat
and i breathed a sigh of relief (ahh)
feel it out, feel it out, feel you out
and i kissed you on the mouth
one last time before you’re gone
one last time before you’re gone
Where did you, where did you go
Where did you go
I waited for you
I waited, i waited for you
I waited for you
I waited
Who could have guessed
That my body would trick me
I thought you would leave me alone
I wrote a note to self upon my palm
raised it to the sun
spoke it out in tongues
hopin the birds would catch the tune of it
call me on my shit
sing me clean of it
And in the moment when they lifted me
With their melodies
Echoin my grief
That’s when i realized what i was missin
Was that echoin, was that bein seen
Where did you, where did you go
Where did you go
I waited for you
I waited, i waited for you
I waited for you
I waited
and i breathed a sigh of relief (ahh)
feel it out, feel it out, feel you out
and i kissed you on the mouth
one last time before you’re gone
one last time before you’re gone
one last time before you’re gone
one last time before you’re gone
one last time before you’re gone
