You feel that?
It's the air touching the water then reaching for your skin
It's getting dark outside it's getting cold again
You are seattle's color palette and the kiss I wish I was breathing in
With the same lips I use to pray
Reference children's books and beg you to stay
Please stitch up my emptiness
Cause I'm okay with let downs but not like this
I bring up emptiness like we could ever forget
Confessions in the rain prayers so desperate
Behind dashboard piercing scenery
Nakedness leads to fear, fear to making leaves
Cover up who we are from God and us
But The way you reached across yourself will always beat you dress
Would you be so kind to cover up my loneliness
With so many doubts tell me I'm not alone in this and I'll show what no one else has seen
I love the way that you arrange those leaves
Would you be the one?
Would you be the one?
Would you be the one to Hide from God with me
The question that takes a moment to ask and a lifetime to answer
"Where are you?"
We don't speak in English we speak in fear
And worship a God that's up there all the way down here
I don't sing from forgiveness I sing for it
Cause I have so many ugly things that I can't forget
Ironic to think I've let go of these old debts
Like the great divorce, our shoulders need their pets
If she can't tell the ground from the sky I will confess "me too"
I just want to be found then get lost in you
I just want to know your plans fears and doubts
Show me your tender heart as you spill it out
Just Know I'm not embarrassed by you not even close
In fact when Monday hits you're the one I miss the most
Cause I'm still in love with my missed connection
My lost reception to the object of my affection
I'll show what no one else has seen
I love the way that you arrange those leaves
Would you be the one?
Would you be the one?
Would you be the one to Hide from God with me
You will find me out
You will find everything

Waves

When these pillow forts finally cave
and the December cold drowns us in it's waves
I want to be overwhelmed with you
You won't drown alone cause I will too
next time lets meet
under mistletoe
And Driveways that are filled with snow.
Nights that end with me
begging please go
Ill eat you up, I love you so
And I'm still moving
cause I've got problems with my sleep
You're still why Christmas
came early for me
next time lets meet
under mistletoe
And Driveways that are filled with snow.
Nights that end with me
begging please go
Ill eat you up, I love you so
I just wanna close my eyes and hear you speak
Give up on thoughts And feel you fall asleep
Eat you up, I love you so
Did you know the world isn't as static as we think
And snow envelopes roads
In between cities
Did you know there's places where you can actually see stars
And you don't care that your phones not charged

Plans

I drove hours in mountain roads through frost I swam
Just to get caught in your flawless skin
Just to tell the world I got lost again
Not in scenery but in an honest grin
The city ain't as scary when it's empty at night
And we're fading like memories, like the ends of these lights
I've been waiting for autum so things will resume moving slow
Or I'm waiting for fall so ill begin to feel home
While thinking its hard to Find someone as old as me
Who's got a heart that's equally as cold yet sweet
It's funny how you run away from all your mistakes
Just to find them waiting for you inside bluer states
So before I get to the point of saying things I need to take back
I need to get to the point of the right questions to ask
If you think nothing is wrong then I'm a need you to scratch
I want to paint it paint it paint it black
Chorus:
Do you wanna dance? Why I know you do
Do you wanna dance? WHAO me too
This is all that we want
This is all that we want
And it's all Black as night
I think I need to end this drive
So disconnected And so alive
Your vulnerability looks so Good next to mine
We'll Find our burning bush moments inside 'welcome home again's
in our Wonderlust tonight with our big-city friends
I hate the pictures that you take when you walk down town
I hate the way your enthusiasm sounds
But still write poems about you cause how could I not
And constantly think about her because how could I stop
Forget metaphors I want wood apartment floor
Make out sessions and don't leave yet's when I make it to your door
And I'm not exaggerating when I say you make my lips quake
And just the thought of you makes my fingertips shake
every time I see you you get prettier
I don't know what it is I wait for more
The day when it's my songs you sing
Or when you finally ask what the ought to mean
Do you wanna dance why I know you do
Do you wanna dance whao me too
This is all that we want
This is all that we want

FILM

Do not break eye contact when I ask you what it feels like
For you to be in such a bad romantic film in real like
I'm thinking of you as scream so it will not feel rehearsed
I hope it's overcast when you hear this first
I hope it's raining to compliment our thirst
That That no new city can ever nurse
You don't need a prince baby I'm the king
Of scolding hot showers cause ill never feel clean
Enough There's no moments no monologues No out bursts and nothing changes
Lets sit and talk about my shirts and your perfume
And how they've become our costumes
No body is keeping tabs on how many times you hurt yourself
There's no pats on the backs for the times you that you dont ask for help
It's funny how things don't change when your ducks line up
I still hate myself and sleep too much
THIS IS YOUR ROM-COM IN REAL LIFE
Like answers and understanding like pictures and words
No matter how hard we try we do not go together.
The only thing we have in common is our fight for space
Our claim to belief and our songs so out of place
Our lives coalesced like words in a sentence
And spoilers aside our ending didn't Make sense
So would you Grab a rope and pull me through
All of the nothing that I mean to you
The princess doesn't fall in love outside the page
She just plays it safe enough to die from old age
No right time and no right words
No daffodils and no hummingbirds
So here's your invitation to risk
"Rise up, and come away" to what could be us
I don't want you to destroy me but here's your chance
I'm just a scared boy asking a girl to dance
THIS IS YOUR ROM-COM IN REAL LIFE

Light
02:53

I wanna be the reason why you cant sleep at night
In your pitch black room I want to be the piercing light
Then I'd mean something to you right?
I wanna be the reason why you cant sleep at night
In your pitch black room I want to be the piercing light
Cause I'm waiting for you like the end of summer cause I'm sick of this burnt skin
The same epidermis that we're both uncomfortable in
By your lips my sin is purged but you wanna make my world end
So could you see why it's so hard to see you again
Your the only one who knows the details behind my sleeping with sin
The beginning to my walls asking are you listening
Blankets aren't made for us they're made for these windows
You're the end of pencil tips that catalyst all of my prose
Lets have a dinner over self hate
And religion to set ourselves strait
Talk about A God that is self made
That we know damn well don't exist
We'll find home on our knees
You find her next next to me
With a lack of belief the realest fear of honesty
I could say I'm sorry all you want but you know that I'm not
And Im still recovering from the perfect me that I am not
All I want is orange October skies
Soberest 'so am I's
'Me too's that lead to 'I know why'
Im trying to write a song that sad enough to compare your skin tone to It adequately enough and still have the metaphor Hold true
We touch like Sampson's hair making contact to the floor, like Moses' cane to the rocks like peters feet to the shore

Self

I've spent way too long looking for a burning bush
Oh how I still wish you would finally push
Me in front of these moving cars as they pass by
The starving prophets famous last words one last time
Any words I say I'm yelling out internally
As if i say it louder it wont be harder To believe
Lets crawl across these perfect versions of ourselves
As I reach across the miles we disconnect
As forgiveness dances with "what you get"s
Lets drop our religion by the wayside and see where we're left
I'm Sure it's not a surprise but I cannot stop
I'm sure it's not a surprise but I'm waiting for rain to drop
And when it finally does things won't be the same
And when it finally does I might feel the
I can feel it in my bones I can feel. . .
"This" is less about raindrops and more about. . .
"This" is not about raindrops this is more about. . .

Wait
03:27
|

It's feels like I've waited an eternity for this
It's never about meeting lips but the eternity before a kiss
There's no flight that we could take no wanderlust we could fake
To run from the person behind the mistakes we make
Solitary views of planes that I haven't even known yet
It doesn't matter were you lay your head cause you'll always be homeless
For lack of better terms I feel were both out of touch
Love me, coldly hold me or am I asking for too much
I don't think I could come up with the lyric half as sweet
as you confessing you are as broken as me
She said her hopes drop in synch with every piano key
Context defines content that's why you sing tragedy
You would have never guessed it but its raining again
I dont want to ask what's wrong but how could I not say a thing
If Its really gonna crash and burn lets share this moment together
As I take in the color of your eyes and this world caving in weather
I don't wanna sleep I just wanna run, and take the long way home from myself
If I let my hands crack and splinter from washing them too much
maybe the pain that sinks in can remind me of our lust
and call it passion
but peel back the layers you'll see folly you'll see foolishness
It wrecks us it will crush us
I'm sorry but the truth is self evident
we can see that through our vices
and with vices like this
thats why theres notes of sorrow in our melodies
contrast that with notes of hope in our epiphanies
we can construct and disect and see our lives are full of symphonies
pull back our views and its easy to see
that in our pain
our outlook can get skewed between you and me
we're nothing in the larger picture but thats nothing to get hung up on
you're a flash, not a fixture
you're the vapor not the rain
you're neither your problems or your pain
You are loved
I don't wanna sleep I just wanna run, and take the long way home from myself
This is the end of my confession
The end of the night
This is the end of me wrong
the end of your right
now turn the lights off
try your best to breathe
turn the lights off
and remember me
this is the end of night
good morning

All I know about this life is that it's strange and inviting
Overwhelming then idling scary and exciting
Even though it hurts There's beauty in the tragic
And an old soul told me kindness is magic
The world aint black and white and it's a beautiful day
To find out what to do with a shit ton of grey
Faith is an act of imagination not intellect
We're invited every day to join in and resurrect
If you're world is caving in then it's probably way too small
And love is place where you inhabit not just fall
This is my answer to your questions not an answer at all
Cause resolution doesn't always come as quick as we'd want
I have a question for your question: 'what's it mean to be alive?
If there's no meaning under the sun then what do we do with it's light
I've spent the last three years putting misunderstood words over patterns
If I die today just know that this life matters
So I'm okay with pain cause this life matters
thankful for the drives and memories cause this life matters
would love my lips to touch yours cause this life matters
curious about heaven but ecstatic I'm here cause

Doubt
04:11
|

can i say this is the best evening ever
Is it the taste of your lips or this this desert weather
Light flickers from a tv that we've long since ignored
I am not slipping but long since been overboard
So lets drown in the ocean that is our mistakes
So lets wallow inside this poetic loss of faith
Like its something we could easily change with words
Ill confess my sins if you can say yours first
It's funny how I could care less about the light in this room
When it's the only reason that I can see you
Sweet imperfections and all
The way you bite your lip and look away as you stall
To make sure you remember your story or thought
The fact that when you're calm your movements still don't stop
So unconsciously grateful for this source of light
That lets me see your beauty on this perfect night
So take your fingertips and embrace them with mine
I think you know me well
I think you know me well
Swallowed tongues along with doubt
Goodbye kiss lets draw it out
We're not done not even close
Lets see how far this thing can go.
Remember when we drove through neighborhoods for the first time
All I wanted from you was honesty not forced 'I'm fine's
I'm not breaking hard ground or saying anything new
When I ask if you would be my lady blue
Doubt, fear, and sincerely hopeful smiles
We couldn't sing with out these miles
The world can be so cold don't you think?
Imperfect maybe but a perfect stranger to me
So Why look so hard for a burning bush
When the world is on fire everywhere you look
Let's talk about the connection between skin and sky
Let's be less concerned with how and more with why
If I told you I love you in April Id never take it back
Why are all my songs about broken relationships unpacked
Why did jacob stack up rocks where he wrestled at
It's not about girls or stone
"This" was always about "that"
