When I Lean
03:46
|
|||
when i lean i lean too much
looking for another thing to trust
even though i know
that you are still here
haven't had much practice yet
figured it so i would not forget
that i need you
and did you need me me
what i fear is loss and hurt
what i fear is never seeing her
but dust, how i tread you
how i see what has lay here
oh spring is over
oh spring is over
i am undone
i am undone
love, that i have too much
love, that i do not have enough
call out my neighbors and friends
live so you cant pretend
oh spring is over
and i am undone
look how i wear myself
look at the sun
look how i see it
look how i wear it
forgiveness that i oft hold back
who are you to tell me that i lack
some sort of melody
or song that you know

Am I Safe
01:49
|
|||
am i safe here in my body
theres not much to turn to besides me
i said for you
to go home i don’t feel
safe when you’re here
each time i hear my own body
support all the breaths that i take
i think of those who sit with me
and give up their hands for my own
i choose to believe in my better
i choose to believe in you too

Gettin' Where
04:13
|
|||
i may seem young perhaps naive
what with all my wandering
When all the old women
with gray in their hair
tell me mistakes are the only fare
to getting where you really wanna go
I cant say that I often see the world
with much clarity
unless i’m looking at the grass
the window panes the alley cats
i’m getting where i really want to go
some days i find it hard to be seen
thank god for my friends who look at me
please allow some space
for me and my idiosyncrasies
how i can watch a sixth-grade girl
don her cat ears, spin and twirl
while she’s getting where she wants to go
i may not tell you to your face
but man i’m trying to take up space
and i used to never say if i
would rather sleep or read or cry
but now i choose what i want
i’m here to see you
here to need you
here to see you
i’m getting where i want to go

Thesis
01:28
|
|||
is there a thesis to this love
that i have found with
you before
is there a statement i try to make
with my body in the fore
am i to listen
how often
whats being said to me
am i to offer
some wisdom
to the likes of all who come to me>
am i admired
for my own
groudn that i
am walking on?
am i growing
just like the flower
unfolding
do i have enough to grow?

The Light
03:37
|
|||
didn’t know what it felt like
the leaves changing so fast
at night, the window trees
falling fast over me
the light darkening
the light darkening
didn’t know what it was like
to love someone and let them go into the night
and to say i know what i need
to say i need to be free
the light is changing
the light is changing
would you give me time?
i am not all caught
darker now but I’m not lost
need a lot to keep me straight
need some more to help me face
the light
the light the light
that falls over you and i
better now that time has passed
better now that i have lasted this long
better now that we will waited
better now that i can face
the kindness of you
the kindness of you
what keeps us apart
is the piece that keeps us together again
ooooooooohhhhhhhh

I'm Not Asleep
04:45
|
|||
Have you ever been in love
and have you been asleep?
have you ever met someone
to show you what you need?
i have called upon you now to
tell you that i see
some other way
when i look to the mirrored wall
with baby on my chest
what i see from day to day
depends on her rest
what she needs and how she's says it often gets confused
in some sort of way
im not asleep anymore
im not asleep anymore
just call my name
you called me round to play a game
of questioning and love
i watched you pull us in a circle
tighter wove the web
how i saw you looking out
was how i fell
in some sort of way
chorus
i will stay curious to the beetle on the branch
that what moves but is not often seen
i know to be true
have you ever been in love and not known what you need?
i have been in love and wondered what else there could be
how i give my love is not how i receive
show me a way

I Want You
03:24
|
|||
i think i’ve been holding on
when you gave me a hint that you might not be back
i wrapped all your words up in edges
walking to the bathroom with your phone in your hand
i want you
i want you
i want you
so bad
found ya in the bathroom in dream that i had
woke up too early with the sheets in my hands
held on too tight, creased on my palms
left you out late and left you too long
i want you
i want you
i want you
so bad
i want you
i want you
usually leave at the sign of some dust
or the trail of a suitcase left in a rush
this time i sat and let you choose to go
babe i’m so proud of you out on your own
i want you
i want you
i want you
so bad
this song aint sad
I’m learning to want
and i want you
i want you (pause)
i want you
i want you
i want you
