Night Moves

Night moves in erratic motions
Lights blink out in the distance
Motorists rove through the grid
From the outskirts, I can’t help but listen
To the orchestrations
And motivations
Of veteran agents
With no complication
I take a deep breath for luck
To slow my dizzying heart
I’ve never seen a look like yours
That can take a boy apart
Like orchestration
Without motivation
You veteran agent
Without complication
Limbs loose
Reds and blues
And with you
Night moves

Inamorata
03:43
|
|
||
You walk with me through the city
We ride on the very front of the train
Find a broken up piano out in the open
I sing to you as the sun starts to fade
I rattle off Keane and the Outfield and a version of “Heartbeats”
And on “Somewhere Only We Know” and “Your Love” you offer some harmonies
I will play for you all night
Inamorata in the twilight
We swing through the Gateway after dark
Talking and making friends with wired party girls
And when your roommate comes to pick you up
I run through downtown, my heart in a whirl
Memories of Keane and The Outfield and a version of “Heartbeats”
And on “Somewhere Only We Know” and “Your Love” you offered sweet harmonies
I’d play for you all night
Inamorata in my mind’s eye
I’m stumbling home drunk as can be
How could a knockout like you stand to
be seen with me
I won’t mind the hit when I wake up tomorrow
At ease and basking in the afterglow
Thinking of Keane and The Outfield and a version of “Heartbeats”
And how on “Somewhere Only We Know” and “Your Love” you sang the harmonies
I’d play for you any night
Inamorata of mine

Dedication
04:23
|
|
||
I came here tonight, hoping you’d be around
Every breath slipping faster through my fingers
Orbiting the outskirts of a shifting crowd
Sinking into pins and needles the longer I linger
I wanna keep you around
For as long as you’ll stay
Sing you songs no one else gets to hear
If you’d like to see how they’re played
From the stage, I can barely make you out
But I’ll try my hardest to reach you as I sing each verse
I need you to know just this once

On My Way
03:13
|
|

You said you hope you don’t disappear
Don’t worry, darling; I’ll stay right here.
I kinda want to be around you
I just want to be in the same room
You don’t have to wait
Whatever time it takes
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
You said you’re too tired to talk
I know it’s late, but I’d hate to stop
Don’t let me keep you up all night
If you give me a chance, I just might
You don’t have to wait
Whatever time it takes
I’m on my way
I’m on my way

Comedown
03:30
|
|
||
I’ve got this something
That no one else gets
A fire in bloom
That never seems to rest
But the comedown always comes
There’s a course that’s quickly run
You’ve got this something
That I can’t say I understand
That shines on the horizon
I’d chase through rivers and across badlands
It all slips away
From my bloody grip
It all slips away
Into the distance
Until we wave white flags
Until we wear them well
We’ll sweat over our broken hearts
We’ll take it way too far

Anonymous
02:34
|
|

We don’t have to speak
We don’t have to know
We don’t have to be confused
We can move and go
We can skip the pleasantries
We can keep it simple
We can keep it casual
We can keep it real fictional
Don’t tell me what you’re thinking
Don’t tell me what you’re feeling
If it’s something worth revealing

Donna Summer
04:26
|
|
||
If you told me your name, it’d make my night
I’d run home full speed like my mind’s not right
And just like that, I look, and you’re gone
But things’ll turn on the dime of a Donna Summer song
If I saw you out again, it’d resurrect my faith
If you’re amused by an offhand comment, nothing could better go my way
And if you’re in the room listening
I’d like to lift you a little like you lift me
Just like the strangers we are
I’ve been waiting for so long from afar

Prom 2012
04:32
|
|
||
You’ve got a halo over your head
As you’re talking with your group of friends
I don’t know what to say
But you take the floor with me anyway
We’re just clueless kids in grown up clothes
Tripping over each other under the glow
Of dim lights that compromise the sight
So, I’ll hold on tight
I’ve been waiting for a moment like this
One that made me feel as real as film
Like we belong in a story
That comes and goes without warning
Because I don’t wanna be anywhere else

Heaven
03:42
|
|
||
I can keep on about the dreamless nights
The sleepless sights where you can find me in my mind
What’s the difference when they all come true
Waking life won’t let you lose a moment or two
Some souls never last, well neither has mine
It’s no shame at all, just a point of design
I’m asking, I’m asking, I’m asking, I’m asking forever
But darling, if there are parts unknown
Wherever we go, we don’t have to be alone
You know this could be, this could be this could be, this could be heaven
I was waiting a lifetime before you
A flash in the hand, and right then, I was brand new
And I wonder if I was the same in your eyes
And if we’re always going to be this childlike
refrain
You take me into your impossible frame
That I know by shape, that I know by name
It goes on, it goes on, it goes on, it goes on forever
And falling into you is a drop that doesn’t end
If I have it my way, I won’t rise again
If this might be, this might be, this might be, this might be heaven
