Save your worry lines and your Furrowed face for someone who can't tell the difference It's getting late, but you’re my ride Wanna get away, and I need you to act as my witness If we leave the party If we leave Promise me you won’t try to turn around Tempted by the offer We can go sit at the diner If you want, you can turn me down How long should...Learn More

Back on a winning streak I know what's in their hands Waiting to fill your cup Catching a nervous glance I put you on the spot again Leaving it all to chance Ready to walk the plank If you won't take me for who I am I drove a Cadillac You rode the local train Still I took all we had I couldn't tell you what I gained All of the years unbroken...Learn More

Are you glad I made it out? You got lucky it was only a flesh wound Didn’t feel it 'til I hit the ground So used to wiping up the blood that I spilled for you Hit me where you knew it’d count Places only you could treat if you wanted to There’s no subtle way to shut it down The bruises on my neck tell a thing or two Never really You never held my...Learn More

You left a fault line on the east side When you left The aftershock still haunts my window I sent a few words like a postcard To cross the sea Recall forgotten songs The tremors shook me for days Thought I was going insane I spent the fall on countless walks Muscle memory possessed my bones And sent me right back to your house And on the steps I...Learn More

Weightless paper Stacks of your letters Bitter departure Reluctant surrender Return my resistance Magnetic friction Suspended, indifferent We’re in for it We’re in for it We’re in for it We’re in for it I'll stick my virtues It's hard not to call you The skin stays, my bones move I want to, I want to I want to I want to I want to I want...Learn More

I see Something entirely different Then you intended What’s on the calendar Tell me at breakfast If you can make it We get unnecessarily pensive Without a question Most nights it Feel like we're reaching the end Still I’m unable To say that its bound to unravel The tip of my tongue As I set the table for two Just to eat alone again We get choose...Learn More

I’ve figured out what’s going on Turns out it’s not incidental I know the way back to the point Where things went south My crooked name On a dotted line If I disappoint you can Change your mind No easy out If we carry on ‘Til we both start To believe it When you’re alone Do you feel relieved? Self-victimized Chronic motif Lay down the law Just to...Learn More

Pictures I keep hanging around In the journals that are buried deep And even when it seems like I’m angry There’s an overwhelming sense of relief Sixteen was such a poisonous year I don’t remember getting any sleep Went reaching for a rung up the ladder Forward-thinking brought me down my knees Looking for a way out I wanna weigh in With the next...Learn More

Write it so its permanent: Left me in the dark again Wanted to retrace your steps from St. James Gate But I hate Dublin Getting harder to pretend Walk in circles till I’m spent Force the air beneath my neck I can’t be whole I can’t be whole I can’t Meet me where the streetlights end Kiss me I won’t say you did Promises that can’t be kept You...Learn More

You get one chance You know what it's worth The final stretch Your body won’t revert You’ve been turned back Two times before It's colder now The wind is at your door It works in your favor You can be untethered Always been much braver Always been the savior You’ve been left back Time to fight the bull Off the beaten track Off the adderall You...Learn More
