You Don't Know Anything 02:23
lyrics
buy track
Today I fed the deer as a sign of peace for tearing up my garden But they trotted off left me alone see nature drives a hard bargain So I went fishing In all the shallow rivers and lakes Cause they can’t run away at the bottom of a barrel yeah That's what freedom means to me Means to me me Lonely wild thing With your sweet longing You don't know anything Every morning I fed the birds until I moved to the city People to meet but not a bird to feed so now I eat all my stale bread Stumbling on Webs coming out of my head Seeds in my pocket so everywhere I'm walking yeah One day maybe flowers will bloom All on you You’re so confused How the birds do sing You don't know anything

A Quick Visit 03:47
lyrics
buy track
See there's a village With boarded houses on the street Fall into another world And would you bring it back to me Sincerely, how the doors close Sincerely, I'd be skipping stones By the hot, chipping pavement Not a care, for where they'd land Where the lights are few And little is what you do I went to see your rope swing tree A row of hotels greeted me Sincerely, the distant breeze Sincerely, a land between Stretching the seams, putting on a coat Plowing yourself, into compost Treating me like a stranger You'll never be the same, for me again Treating me like a stranger I'll never be the same, for you again Climbing up the street How it seems so small Passing between cars Out into the bay Dropping my last stone Like a castaway Come drink it in The beauty of the bay You'll shrink in it Carry me away Only for a day A quick visit But not today A quick visit Then we’re on our way I'm so far away Only for a day I'm so far away But not today I'm so far away Carry me away

Bluffer's Guide To The Moon 04:40
lyrics
buy track
Won't you, meet up in space Far out, all the way up there I left, our bags out by the door We won't, need them anymore Bit sick now I think that I am throwing down All the while your shadow may try to run this town But if this is how we walk on the moon Then I'm just so glad to be here too Your laugh and love for ballet Laid back in a silent way Sliding all across the floor You're like Jesus on the water Just like Jesus on the water

Everything Is Okay 04:35
lyrics
buy track
Everything is okay Everything is alright Everything is just fine Mornings so crisp Take a bite and sit Before anyone else even bothers to exist Everything is okay Everything is alright Everything is just fine Busy late nights Full of friends and wine Home to a cold bed thinking that today was just fine Everything is okay Everything is alright Everything is just fine A long line of fine Do you feel so complacent Sort of like I'm wasting Do you feel so complacent tonight Do you feel so complacent Sort of like I'm wasting You won't ever get it right Tonight

Moth 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Through the dust and glass It isn't so plain A moth with silver wings Hiding from the rain On your work clothes Same ones everyday Like a minimal cartoon In your special way A midnight cleaner Dodging drops of doubt That this town was Built for moving out Oh my silent friend Snoozing on the sill One day you'll live Beyond the shadows of this hill Beyond the shadows of this hill

A Game Of Chance 02:58
lyrics
buy track
Caught up between Saying nothing I'm always leaving you empty Or overflowing Birds building a nest In the drainage pipes Sucks to be them because its Supposed to rain tonight All a game of chance Like buying cheap fruit Come to think of it We've got a soft spot For ones that are bruised And the world's dying I'm scared of children crying Always trying to be funny But I know you see through it honey All a game of chance Like traffic lights in the city As the sun will water the grass Anytime that you worry So belt out the notes Play a part in the show So when the curtains close You'll keep em laughing As you go

View From The Eighth 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Counting all the distant lights Fading out of sight I'll be here till the morning The streets wrapped up in sleep The night is humming And I'm just floating The lone car passing by Early, late, or he's just high Echoes up from off of the lane Giving, away the gentle rain Away the gentle rain And how the curtains swell Like lungs bidding farewell Oh woah ho ho A safe and silly drifting Thinking of everything And also nothing People out on the precipice Swallowing their medicine A thousand empty views Staring, blankly at you Blankly at you The rain is full of ghosts tonight They want to make sure you're alright

Wake 04:41
lyrics
buy track
So where does he go I hope you never come back again Drawing circles with my toes Until the weight is kicking in Heads feeling extra light Will I see you tonight And when you lay beside me I won’t want to wake up at all Not so scared of you These things they always change Numb you're stuck here too There's room in my bed for us all Heads feeling extra light Will you join me for the night Come on and lay beside me And maybe we won't wake at all

These Simple Things Will Just Have To Do 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Waking, from some dream So deep nothings in my head Watching, the passing cars This contentment is so new Shopping, or walking the park These simple things will just have to do Loud screams, from sports teams Blowing throughout the yard A freshmen, class of leaves Having yet to arrive How many, more bug bites Can you stand tonight Connecting, a dot tattoo These simple things will just have to do

about

Have you judged a fish at climbing trees
And fed him for the day
Have you taught a fish to man
And have you laughed along the way

Have you counted all the lucky stars
in weight, in worth, in debt
Have you ever went so far away
While comfy in a bed

Have you shot a rifle in the sky
Only if to kill some time
Past the gods and discount signs
And missed it all the while

Like weather have you expressed yourself
In many a new way
Have you made a deal with the city
Or swam on Christmas day

And now has comfort slowly crawn
Out from the bookcase
Will you jump or step out onto
The overexposed hiding place
