Soft and rhythmic humming
It can spin you, make you new
On your back look right through
Little Shimmer, late stream
People who you thought you knew
Water soaks through your shoes
On a long road headin’ back
Headlights cut the fog in half
Pavement peeling fast
Echoes moving backwards
Be as quiet as you can
Cus you don’t understand
Bouncing off the back porch
Like rocket in your hand
It won't come back again
Still I will come back around
Although I don’t like it now
Just catch an echo, a dream
And sew together the seams
On a long road headin’ back
Headlights cut the fog in half
Pavement peeling fast

Almost seven years ago
I saw you at a funeral
I keep the program in a box at home
Suspended like a sinking stone
And everyone is from somewhere
My midwest town, my love affairs
But we’ll forget we ever cared
Buried deep, barely there, barely there
It catches you off-guard
When the Amtrak drops you in the dark
The river swallowed up some kid
My dad dove in to rescue him
It’s just a hometown exodus
When I was only 14
The sticky leather of his varsity, his suv
He said there’s nothin’ to do outside Kansas City
I didn’t want to, but I let him kiss me in the backseat
And everyone is from somewhere
My midwest town, my disrepair
There are moments that I’ll never share
Buried deep, and barely there
You have to wake up pissed
When the rapist gets a scholarship
And money makes you braver
One day he’ll run for mayor
It’s just hometown behavior
And I have too much empathy for people who don’t need it
I have a lot to say, but I’ll keep it like a secret
Fuck you fuck you fuck you I’ll say it til I mean it
If I say it then I mean it

My hand,
lays open in the sunshine
I feel the warmth of light
Fingers;
slowly ball them up,
loosely grip what’s left to hold
And my idea of me
Is not what I see in the mirror
I wish it were clearer
My arms,
a bridge over the stream that runs between you and me
Tightly,
Wrap your body up like you’re all that’s left to hold
And My idea of me
You reveal without speaking a sentence
Your closeness a blessing
In your eyes,
It's not so hard to find
A place to hide
A whisper in disguise
And my idea of me
Is a place where we fill every corner
With Trinkets and Horses
My heart
Is four hollow chambers
Filled with luck and filled with blood

My window down
your voice, the way it sounds
I’m different when you’re around
I don’t want to lose you now
Down mississippi roads
Fall asleep on the drive home
I can’t tell you how I know
I won’t let this moment go
I’ll see you once in a while
You made a promise to me
But I won’t let you feel like a liar
If I’m not necessary in your life
I’m sorry in advance
I let you down again
You’re living out our plans
I watch you slip through my hands
(bridge) I’ll see you again
And we’ll stay consistent
We reach for our friends
Through all this distance
The summer we both turned 20
You made a promise to me
Sharing a bed in my sublease
You’re necessary to me

Little Smile,
Feels bigger than a country mile
Mid day light
Wish I could hang it on the laundry line
Until,
The day feels cold and dry
And time,
Won’t let us pass it by
On the couch
Counting flowers on your curtains now
Afternoon
Thick and hollow like a frogs night croon
And while
it feels so hard to find
It's worth
the trouble and the time
It’s rare for moments
To let you in
You feel like a vampire
Waiting for invitation
And while
it feels so hard to find
It's worth
the trouble and the time

One year ago
I didn’t know
I’d be so different now
Yelling at me in the bedroom
you convinced me I deserved it too
I’ll find it in me to forgive you soon
And when I don’t get a text back
I think my friends are dead and that’s
That’s just where my head’s at
Confirmation that I’m broken
I’m blacking out in Portland
& forgetting what’s important
This song is simple and it should be
Writing music makes me feel things
And it helps me let go
And oh, love will come again to me I know
