When I can’t fill
When I can’t fill the gaps between your fingers
When I can’t be
When I can’t be the thought that kindly lingers
I know that you're know that you're mine
We may be far apart but in time
I know that we don’t need a sign
Cause our paths always re-combine
Forever I’ll keep you in my mind
As the one that I left behind
I promise I’ll give you all you want in life
When you finally return to mine
Hey!
Whoa yeahs
When I can’t tuck
When I can’t tuck the hair behind your ear
We will have time apart, We will not always be near
I’ll have to tell myself, remind my pain and fear
That I know that I know that you're fine
Maybe far apart but in time
Together we’re something divine
Our love, Let it realign
Forever I’ll keep you in my mind
As the one that I left behind
I promise I’ll give you all you want in life
Now just come return to mine
Whoah yeahs
Forever I’ll keep you in my mind
As the one that I left behind
I promise I’ll give you all you want in life
Now just come return to mine
Whoah yeahs and now just come return to mine

don’t hold my hand
cuz I don’t believe in always
just understand
i’ll give you my love but I don’t love cliche
one kiss and then its over I used to think that ends it
but then I grow up a little older and i’m inclined to bend it
one path and then it’s over a life that I can’t blend with
you gotta step out and be bolder, I highly reccomend it
we can take this partnership our own way
we can take it anywhere i don’t know oh
everybody sticking with there one bae
but I prefer to keep it with some flow
I don’t know what we can call us,
There’s no rules you dont know, make it up as we go
no underlying expectations,
i don’t know that we can date oh all I know is we can both flow
no pressure to be together
I know is we can both flow
no box that we’ll outgrow
just love now and we can flow
queen size for three
six hands and they’re all so tender
sunrise and then it’s over it’s an all love one night bender
I know it’s one to remember and we never knew their gender
we can take this partnership our own way
we can take it anywhere i don’t know oh
everybody sticking with there one bae
but I prefer to keep it with some flow
I don’t know what we can call us,
There’s no rules you dont know, make it up as we go
no underlying expectations,
i don’t know that we can date oh all I know is we can both flow
no pressure to be together
I know is we can both flow
no box that we’ll outgrow
just love
and I’m never gonna say that
this comes easy
all that heart break
ad em up add em up add em up
but I’m never gonna let that
slow transaction
so much compasion
add it up add it up add it up
I don’t know what we can call us,
There’s no rules you dont know, make it up as we go
no underlying expectations,
i don’t know that we can date oh all I know is we can both flow
no pressure to be together
I know is we can both flow
no box that we’ll outgrow
just love now and we can flow

I Stayed Up
02:59
|
|||
|
I walked out
I walked out way too far
I stayed up
I stayed up far too long
Cuz I can’t miss out
I can’t say no
If there’s a car with friends driving someplace different, that’s where I want to go
Soak it in
Don’t take a bite, I devour
What I’m given, I won’t waste, I waste not an hour
Cuz I can’t say no
I can’t miss out
Treat my life like a peach and each bite like a treat, that’s what I’m all about
This isn’t a curse, no it’s a blessing
Though it could be reverse, I’m just guessing
I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know
I oh, whoah, I don’t know
I walked out
I stayed up
I soaked it in
But for what?
I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know
Whoah, I don’t know

I Won't Be
02:34
|
|||
|
Like a curse befell
or a sickness caught
my body wants you
but my head does not whoa
it’s not your fault
that your curves can call
to a primal drive
That I strive to hide
I won’t touch you (touch you)
although I long too (long too)
I feel unsteady (unsteady)
please don’t let me
lose my way here (touch you)
it’s my instincts I fear (I fear)
but my lips won’t touch you
I won’t be the boy who lost control
the desire,
how it tortures me
I can control my hands
but my brain won’t let me be
my eyes can’t linger
not hug or finger
can be out of line
there is a choice this time I can control my mind
I won’t touch you (touch you)
although I long too (long too)
I feel unsteady (unsteady)
please don’t let me
lose my way here (touch you)
it’s my instincts I fear (I fear)
but my lips won’t touch you
I won’t be the boy who lost control
Boy who lost, control

I Made This
03:09
|
|||
|
I know that I’ve been waiting
I can’t push I’m hesitating but I should way-oh
My youth I feel it fading
Back down your getting grating
By now you’d think I matter more, and sure
I’ve had my share of moments
Feeling special under lights like a grownup
And when I think I’ve got it
When I think I’m stepping up
The next chapter’s beginning
Now I’m finished warming up up up oh
Stolen, woven me
Whoah
I’ll take this oh
I made this oh
Why I’m contagious oh I
No map that I have charted, no dreams to crush
If I hadn’t got started, there would be no rush
I’m just the right amount of good so it sucks to exist
I can’t quit cuz there’s people that like and I like it and I could never resist
The attention, the dreams, the fantasy
The mind altering screams meant for me
And I knock, but the doors locked
Tick tock, pop rock me
Oh but the bodies high
I’ll take this oh
I made this oh
No big parade but I’ll keep marching on
I’ve tried other careers
And I think I have five more good years
I’m not ready to let it end here
And I think I might make it but I fear
I, I, I’ll take this
I Made this
Contagious oh I am
I have this map I’ve started, and a ways to go
Yeah!

This Question
03:03
|
|||
|
I have this question I ask
and often there’s answers I don’t believe
And maybe it’s faith that I lack
More likely I think I just don’t want to leave
And if I come back as one blade of grass
I won’t have my sentience anymore
But to know that well there’s something next
Not human, but any life at alls worth waiting for
Oh cuz most my pains just pressure
And it’s the thought I can’t endure
Endless, I dream of this life
Up in the clouds that are fluffy and white
I need a fantasy world full of light
Cuz without at moments it can get hard to even breathe
Oh cuz most my pains just pressure
Feeding fear inside of me
And will I look back someday fondly upon this song
Was I right to fear death cuz when you’re gone you’re gone
And time ticks on but you’re gone you’re gone
And time ticks on, and you’re gone you’re gone
Gone you’re gone

Dandelions
01:23
|
|||
|
Because my mom used to say
Rip this weed
Out from the ground and pull real hard
Cuz the roots go deep
Oh yellow heads, green leaves, long thin stem
Oh dandelions, oh dandelions
Oh how I’ve missed them
Because my mom used to say
Rip this weed
Out from the ground and pull real hard
Cuz the roots go deep
Atrophying
I’ve been to work but why in
The desert, It’s fine
But oh how I’ve missed
Oh I’ve missed you Dandelion

Berries Do It Better
01:50
|
|||
|
We all hope that we get murdered, that is our goal
take your white sword from your sheath
There is a greater plan for seeds that fall
now kill us with your teeth
now kill us with your teeth
berries do it better cuz they’re not afraid to die
berries do it better cuz they don’t believe in me or my
when my time comes, when my time comes
I need to know, I need to know
how the berries do it better cuz that’s the way to go
we believe and live the cycle, don’t ask how or why
dive to the ground don’t say goodbye
There has always been oh can’t you tell a bigger dream
see our color, and our sheen
berries do it better cuz they’re not afraid to die
berries do it better cuz they don’t believe in me or my
when my time comes, when my time comes
I need to know, I need to know
how the berries do it better cuz afraid I am although
that’s the way to go

I’ve been building up my tendency to stop breathing
I’ve been making up my mind to sleep in mud
I’ve been slowing my final astrocaryum
And waiting for that first aspen
I’m waiting for that first aspen
I’m waiting for that first aspen to bud
Tuck in my legs
And I’ll freeze up my heart
Kick start my heart yeah it’s way too hot for me to keep sleeping
Yeah my first steps aren’t graceful and my jump ends with a thud
The vines they are sprouting the snow I am doubting the peepers are peeping
You can’t kill me just with cold
You can’t keep this rana slow
Come on winter a hint here
I was born with antifreeze in my blood
A new spring has come
Though my body’s still a little numb
Cuz it’s the little things that matter
Like coming back to life
It’s those small moments that you notice
And must remember during strife
You can find hundreds every week
Just keep it down for tiny miracles
you can hear them hear them hear
if you just let them speak
