this town, we borrowed time in burned out basements this town, we fell asleep in cuffed blue jeans subsisting solely off kombucha and regret smoking hand-cut packs of lavender cigarettes six months, we fell in love, we kissed our demons one year, we drowned our dreams in sweet caffeine and all my friends live at the bottom of the Gunk stick your toe in, then you're sinking, you're sunk working, late at night to stay in college saw you, walking home after my shift, crept a chill I'd never felt in my bones glad you didn't see me run the long way home

come on, pass the bottle there's a party up at Mom's later on and if we leave my apartment we can get there 'fore the bands go on forever (that's what I said) forever (that's what I said) today we woke up crying your naked body up against my chest and this will be the last time that my self esteem, in you, will rest forever (that's what I said) forever (that's what I said) so come on, pass the bottle it was real when it was alive pass the fucking bottle and with that last sip, this memory dies with that last sip, your memory dies waking up and leaving, count me out, count me out waking up and leaving, count me out, count me out I'm just wasting time running around looking for you took the staircase down I'm on my own again

it's been a little while since the last time I was alone every little bit of everything has changed, that's how it goes took a drive today to see the house where I was raised to confirm in my head all these memories I have of this place it's a long way back home it's a long way back home went over the bridge I used to think was George Washington took a look around but couldn't find a trace of Sam's fried chicken the only thing that's bigger is the fireworks emporium New Yorkers bring them home, they break the law to feel American it's a long way back home it's a long way back home it's a long way from this place I wish I knew a little better it's nice to know it's here it's a long way back home it's a game we play all this guessing what could have been gonna change my name gonna love this life I live in

Whole Heart 03:01
how do you love someone softly how do you love without giving your whole heart 'cause I'm gonna fall apart I wanna down the sidewalk I wanna see your face in the moonlight again I wanna breathe you in to my lungs and relive that first moment when the green lightning flashed and you kissed me then oh yeah I can only love you with my whole heart I can only see you when we're apart I keep thinking about it how it all started I'd do it again I'd do it again
5.
wrapped your blanket all around me gave me twenty dollars and a smile you don't know me Joyce Scheffey but I had to leave for a little while I'm back on the road again I'm taking a breather from this town I'm going to clear my head and come back better today I woke up to a knocking on the backseat window of my car a sad man's feeble eyes were staring they cared to ask if home was far I'm shaking away the night I'm figuring out what's wrong and right I'm making a list of people I love and doing better

Moon Lily 04:12
alone again, only this time it's just temporary and purposeful a moment to reflect January chills just a year ago you were investing your love in strangers and getting none of it back it was such a mistake you pressed your nose up to the petals they bit your face and you were tangled in the nettles full overload, you took the elevator down and found yourself somewhere on the coast of Virginia you ran for the beach in the dark and when your bare feet touched the water you said I'm gonna fix things when I'm home home again, back from a short vacation the picture's not so blurry that's long enough you played pretend pull the plug out of the wall and in the dark you see the stars that silently watched you fade away and in your heart you know this life was not forever it falls apart and with new friends you'll build it better full overload, you took the elevator down and found yourself somewhere on the coast of Virginia you ran for the beach in the dark and when your bare feet touched the water you said walking with father just a young boy at the time saw a flower so purple and inviting he said "don't get any closer it catches the eye but it's toxic and cuts like a knife" heavy on my conscience and inches from your face you were every memory that I tried to erase you searched for the pain in my eyes but I was smiling again I left you standing alone I made my way back home all right
