Night Moves 03:09
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
4.
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
7.
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
8.
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
9.
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
10.
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
