I've Kept It All
02:51

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

Love Springs Eternal
02:59

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

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

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

Watching the Waves
09:28
|
|
||
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

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

Worrying Hymn
03:49
|
|
||
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
