try locking the doors
when there's no need to
try turning off the lights
when you leave the room
try opening a window
when you close a door
try leaving your clothes
on my bedroom floor
say "walking away" instead of "leaving"
say "nothing much has changed now t

you could take this for granted,
or you could take it so hard
nothing's ever forgotten
that you write on your arm
like a long list of groceries
or errands to run;
you feel so accomplished,
check them off, one by one

and the shopping cart's swerving
from a wo

Now I know why
You're floating away
Like a white balloon
Untied today or last night

I like the sounds
You when you sleep
Like you're eating a meal
Grinding your teeth or just breathing

Oh my stars
Crying, "oh my stars!"
Oh my stars
Can't strangle a

When the wind comes the spider leaves her web
and waits in the groove of the window
Last night the rain looked so thick in the streetlight
I thought it might be snow
The reflection of the powerlines and the spiderweb
In the house across the street
What's going on with you

It's all I can do
Not to trust you
For all of my muscles
I'm a clam too
Dear sarah, you know
I didn't love you
Dear pilot, collect
Yourself, there's turbulence ahead

Everthing's moving like arrows
Try to grab one
Everthing's moving like arrows

i get banged up a lot,
like a pinky toe
on coffee table legs, and
rocks buried in the snow
you should leave your jacket outside,
inside's too warm
it's just a thought;
you'll wear what you've always worn

i get banged up (oh)
i get banged up (oh)

i can't
begin
to explain
what went
down, and if
i did, would you
understand?
half of
all my eyes
don't know how
to wink

hey, my heart
it's not a race;
all the same,
a good head start helps

-simultaneously-
it would scare
you

Didn't I tell you that it's lonely out there?
Didn't I lie so much and pretty darn well?
It's not that I don't trust you, but I have to check for myself.
I have to tape all the windows when the wind gets rough.

God had a plan for what happened to me.
Knowing that I'm waitin

Kittens become cats
If you're not careful
You have to keep your eye on them

There was a time
When I
Didn't know you
And there'll be a time like that again

And if we run as fast
As the earth moves
We'd be standing in one place

And if we shake as much<

Did you mean the things you said?
Were you pulling ankles and legs?
Do you read when you go to bed?
Do you lie there shaking instead?
Cause it works both ways with the rain
Leaving the words unread
And I want to have you again
Listening to Bedhead

We lost a couple years like a christmas box
Crushed under the weight of standing still

I'm serious there's no way you could be forgot
The birds remember how to come home

Your laughter from the basement now is fading out
The earthquake like a giant passing truck
