Seashell

still remember when you used to trust fall into sleep
kept the curtains closed but wanted dawn to come on faster
dreaming of a lover lying in the lilac aster
moonlight on the coastline, what a scene
smoking in your garden while the clouds are coming down
humming on a song i made that seems to give you purpose
somewhere in the night i hear you calling out my verses
catching little traces all around
i was on your shore
now i'm in your dream
did you notice me?
did you notice me?
walking down the highway of a small suburban town
song is like a tidal wave and i am going under
take me as your harmony and take me as your lover
leave those little traces all around
i was on your shore
now i'm in your dream
did you notice me?
did you notice me?
lying in your lap just like a seashell that you found
place me in a way that makes you feel a little better
weave my silver hair into the lining of your sweater
keep my little traces all around
keep my little traces all around
keep my little traces all around

I Know It's Raining

here I am
Wondering how you can turn it around
for the better
Here I am
Wondering when you’re gonna get up again
And get out
You don’t have to be small to be safe
You don’t have to take on what they say
Yeah you don’t have to get carried away
With the feeling
Here you are
practically grown up
But too scared to show up
Where you wanna be seen
Here you are
Trying your best
And afraid of the best
That you’re trying to be
You don’t have to be small to be safe
You don’t have to take on what they say
Yeah you don’t have to get carried away
With the feeling
I don’t understand why you
Always take the sadder route
Looking out the window like you’re
Making a painting
and I know it’s raining but please
Just get out this one time for me
I love you
You gotta hear it
From someone you’re close to
That’s me
We have been
In this together
since the beginning
Cause you’re me
You don't have to do what they say
You don’t have to put on a brave face
You don’t have get carried away
With the feeling
I don’t understand why you
Always take the sadder route
Looking out the window like you’re
Making a painting
and I know it’s raining but please
Just get out this one time for me
Here I am kicking down doorways
And things that you put up
When you were in school
I can pay homage to plenty
But staying twenty forever’s not cool
I am going to honour this face
I am going to build a new state
I am going to carry away
The bad feeling
I don’t understand why you
Always take the sadder route
Looking out the window like you’re
Making a painting
and I know it’s raining but please
Just get out this one time for me

Everyone's A Winner

January visits me
With visions that have died
An email from a lover
In another life
Almost been a decade of
That fast recurring dream
Meet me at the bus stop
In the astral stream
But I have found someone who matters
And he dances with all my little shadows
And he holds me in the way
That you could never do
Guess it’s true
That everyone’s a winner
Everyone’s a winner someday
I’m walking through a forest and
I’m watching honeybees
The places they belong to
In among the trees
You got what you wanted
And I got what I need
I don’t need your echo anymore
But I have found someone who matters
And he dances with all my little shadows
And he holds me in the way
That you could never do
Guess it’s true
That everyone’s a winner
Everyone’s a winner someday
I hope that you’re happy now
I hope you’re okay
Take off that shirt that says
“The One That Got Away"
Get married on your mountain
With a wildflower bouquet
I always thought her pretty
Cause now I've found someone who matters
And he dances with all my little shadows
And he holds me in the way
That you could never do
Guess it's true
That everyone's a winner
Everyone's a winner someday

I Miss Everything
04:00

Don’t know how I’m supposed to feel
staying home and cereal for every meal
so I remember better times
in photographs and moments from the other side
The sunset over city hall
Walking round for hours at shopping mall
buying roses cause I can
Looking at the magazines on paper stands
But most of all
I miss getting on the train
The twenty stops
walking down the shady lane
i miss holding you
I miss loving you
I miss everything
The dimming of a theatre light
kissing on the platform as we say goodnight
Piazza in the pouring rain
dancing on the driveway out at 2am
But most of all
I miss getting on the train
The twenty stops
walking down the shady lane
i miss holding you
I miss loving you
I miss everything
looking in the mirror now
my face is changing
& I’m scared of becoming someone else
nothing stays the same
apart from you
apart from you
And most of all
I miss getting on that train
The twenty stops
walking down the shady lane
i miss holding you
I miss loving you
I miss everything
