I’ve saved the messages that say you got home okay That remind me I was out with you in the first place I’ve kept it all Time progresses, and I lose your presence I’ve held onto every mention and sentiment, down to the sentence And when you said it, and when you meant it I’ve kept it all Every photograph To when I saw you last And when we first met Whatever you forget I’ve kept it all
2.
What are you thinking when you’re thinking of me? When I’m thinking of you, I can’t begin to breathe You keep bringing yourself around for something (refrain) I could be waiting for years Isn’t that the greatest fear? Can we ever really know? Aren’t we no longer alone When love springs eternal? You might think that you made me, you’d be right I wouldn’t be stitching songs about you together otherwise I may have done the same, but I feel you’re fading Don’t you ever get jealous, or worry my support could start waning? You keep bringing me around, I hope it’s not for nothing refrain Does love spring eternal?

Together Now 03:26
We’ve been under the sky a thousand times Walking side by side, late into the night Without a word spoken, or a silence unbroken I can hardly notice the moments going and going Together now I sure went numb the first time we met up Same with the next one and then some If you don’t care that I’m quite unprepared If you’ve got a second to spare, if you don’t need to be somewhere Swing with me Move your feet Kick up your heels Past your knees Face to face While our hearts race On an axis Where you’re standing Together now
4.
Sometimes I can’t help but think That you can’t stand being seen You’d rather try to find someplace Where you can hide away Sometimes you take me with And we go somewhere scenic We don’t have much to say As we rest in the wavering shade Sometimes there come strangers Never a clear and present danger They don’t figure into much If they ever were looking for us They can find us by the water The longer they wander They can see us by the stream Walking free in our bare feet They can find us in the fields Somewhere the sun reveals Masking the sights and sounds Of sprawling broken ground Sometimes you want to lay there I just want to be around to take care And we’re nothing else but close When the world on every side feels so remote
5.
Days of Rain 03:25
This silent trend is steady You were bored of me already And as the weeks pass I lose track of which was our last (refrain) Every day, was the same I would panic in place And whatever stayed Petrichor remained I could list what I don’t miss That wouldn’t be the truth of it Lying by omission, wishing You were waiting out the storm with me refrain Then come the rays That evaporate The days of rain They never came
6.
I’ll never know anything for certain But there’s a world for me to be sure of One of a spectrum of colors in bloom That I see from a black and white room Often I’m overcome with jealousy A hunger that never bodes well for me I want to know the bug in your box A key you give for me to unlock It makes no difference if you half want it You’ve got me in your back pocket For every onlooker watching us in waves I think I’ll always feel this way
7.
Technicolor 03:07
We fell before the start of winter And I remain pretty damn bitter Despite my prayers you’d come in spring I think it bothers you that I never stop wishing [refrain] I dream of you in technicolor Amidst the roaring sound of thunder After sunset, early in the summer Still the source of so much wonder I think you’re lying when you say I did nothing wrong And now I’m afraid to let you alone for too long I’m a miserable, envious bastard Getting sicker as you fade faster Am I making it too easy to cut me loose? Asking the world you mean to me of you? refrain I still think of you under explosions The shrill whistle to pop in a moment Where I never felt less lonesome And you and I were at our closest I still dream of you in technicolo
8.
I’m concentrating on you now Trying to figure you out What’s on your mind? What am I doing right? I haven’t heard from you for a while Correct if I’m wrong, but I’ve gone out of style I’m not your one and only But I thought that you chose me Sometimes you’re hard to find You make me think I’m the prettiest girl Without putting much of it into words You don’t have to explain You show it in your own way Maybe you listen to what I say Or laugh at a dumb joke I make Or you make a funny face Or you take me to a special place Or you tell me you like the songs I sing You spend most of the day with me Taking of a piece of me when you leave Have as much as you’d like to keep We’re not at all hard to find Every time I’m nervous I think of a worrying hymn That you’re looking to go I ought to let you know When you’re not around, I’m with everyone Except the one person I really want It’s not a melancholy, it’s a numbness With you, I’m never so loveless I’m not so hard to find

about

These were not meant as love songs, but I guess they just become what felt most natural.
