Rain 05:18
Dull rain in late July We tried our best to stay inside But the cold wet fingers on your bones so dry Convinced you not to run or hide And the days got shorter and the seasons changed I’m in stranger places learning strangers’ names But the strangest feeling is the guilty pain When I’m afraid I’ve forgotten your face So we drive on the highways With both of our eyes closed And keep all the lights on While our lovers disrobe Because we love to be scared By the things that we don’t know And not the ones you love Darling why Did I ever have to Say goodbye To your voice your scent those Irish eyes But there was never enough time So we find ourselves as tall as clouds When rain itself is plagued with doubt To start or stop or end the drought And put the fire out Like that autumn afternoon in an empty house When you first kissed me on the mouth You said that we had figured out The secret of electric love Cause it flows from your fingers like songs from the radio In silent transmissions Delivered in stereo To a metal receiver That sleeps deep in my bones And screams for you today Darling I never wanted to have to Say goodbye To your singing voice and those Irish eyes Now I’m not sure if I’m alive You say leave I say ok She’s three sheets to the wind And I think that she means it Her words might be slurred But her voice is so clean It’s like rain in your bones Like a home you could live in Says “honey I don’t wanna leave alone” Like a dream Now she’s calling me to bed again Sounds so sweet And I’m not sure how this is gonna end Sound a sleep But I’m quite content that it’s happening Next to me

dusty piano plays a tune notes like skipping stones i'll change the rules for you like a fish and a lightbulb tied to a string the sun's in the ocean trying to swim you'll be the waters you wade through but i'll always be thirteen years old

Stream Dream 02:46
ankles just like apple cores tell my time's a marrow bore sleep alone during the day our dreams can carry us away white wakefulness can clock us in while dizzy dripping streams will spin glass on, stumble sickly down the streets like trickle rain, hold back the repeats white wakefulness will wash us in while dizzy drippin dreams will end like hopes you'd know my head's absurd i'll probably never say a word you've heard
