See, I was driving down Woodward with you in the passenger seat
Doing fifty in my '97 Avalon
And as we drove past the Dutch Girl Donuts and the dispensary
You looked at me and said
That your dad's been depressed
Can we change this CD? You said
Something a little more soul

Look out the window on the left, you said
As we pulled in next to the riverbed
You kicked off your shoes
You pushed open the door
And lifted your eyes up to the sycamores
A vision of you on a summer night
Adventurous and full of light
Your poetry dances in my head lik

Before we step inside, you should know
You said as you lit your cigarette
And your nose glowed red
I felt it just a few days ago
This ache in my bones
It's as if I caught a glimpse of the end

I nod my head, hold the door
We step inside, and we dance all night
Ti

This island feels nothing like home
And I don't understand much
But I asked: Are you leaving?
And niette means no

It's fun to feign forbidden love
Forget our jobs that make us fret
And we know we ain't foolin' the boss
When we sneak past the bistro to the deck

I thought you had a good time last night
I thought we hit it off baby
We were feelin' fine

All night we laughed
And then I lent you my favorite book
But now things aren't quite feeling
How I thought they would baby
I thought you had a good time last night

I th

In the back of the room
It was there that I saw you
In a shirt that you wore
Knowing I'd be in the store
Then you left down the stairs
Follow you I wouldn't dare
I accepted my fate
That I'd never see your face again
Oh bookstore girl, I wonder what your name is

Another 2 am
At the same bar again
You tell me you're feelin' blue
Then we talk about the news
It's the same

How do we break the rhythm we've been in lately?
I changed cities again, it doesn't change me
Hometowns are for leaving
No, you can't make me
Oh man

Still got a lot of things that I wanna say
Didn't think of em till you left me the other day
And it's getting harder for me to recognize
Exactly what you mean when you look into my eyes

Falling for you
Now I know what you meant
When you told me that you had something mo

I know you're never gonna call back
Baby, it ain't all bad when you're busy
We take our chances on the weekend
Is this a feeling that we'll miss?

But here comes, here comes
The week, the week
I try to just do me
It tends to backfire, you see
Give you a glance

We met when I was drunk
That party didn't actually suck
You made fun of how slow I drank

We had that mutual friend
Who introduced us at the end of the night
I felt it was right to keep words in my head

But now I can't stop thinking about you
Each moment passes and

(Uh, say)
Where are you, baby? We're waiting for you
It's already two and you never called, yeah
We're drifting lately, and you never rang
I'm leaving chicago 'cause something feels strange
Many kinds of love of which I've been afraid, uh
Yeah, I never believed I could fe

You had a mental breakdown
When the waiter brought you something you didn't order
I took that as the final indication
That you need to leave New York
(Get the fuck outta here)
City rent had sucked you dry
So you sublet your self worth
Just to survive
We think poet

Slipping on ice makes me think of you, baby
It’s cold out tonight and I forgot my boots, baby
Take me to your house, make me some tea
You know the way I like it, baby, leafy green
Take me to your couch, we’ll watch TV
You know the kind I like, baby, episode three

You lo

I've been feeling so distracted
Maybe I’m exhausted
Maybe I've just had enough of myself the way I am
I'm changing, I’m changing, I'm changing

Baby oh you, you've been so understanding
And how can I try to tell you
All that you've been for me?
I need you to just wai

(Brooklyn, New York)
(3:17 am)
(It's cold)
(And I miss you)

Your apartment is on my right
Old movie, turn it on
Black and white
Through your window I see a light
Changes from red to green to blue
But the rain obscures the view
I said a-hey hey hey

I'm saying things I don't believe
And your love casts its shadow on the things I do
And I can hear so clearly all the words I wish I said
You're stuck in my head

But I only think of you
Will we be together soon?
I'm thrown to the wayside
You're planted in my mind

Dip dive, slip, free fall
Hit my mind
Promise I'm infinitely tall
It's words or it's hope or it's love
Something's got me chasing the ghost

Dip dive and free fall
Hit my mind
I promise I'm infinitely tall
It's words or it's love or it's hope
Something's got

Told her I don't mind it if she goes or if she stays
I guess it all depends on her intentions to treat me that way
Starting conversations 'bout the detaills of the art in her room
What if I'm the one and you pass me of?
What if I'm the one you've been thinking of?

Oh, time

I had to go
I had to steal away
I left her love inside of yesterday
And still her words
They leave me wondering what I'm looking for

And im sing ooh I want I wanna find her
Back in the place she said she would wait
I want I wanna find her
Yes I will, ohh yes I w

Do you wanna step out in the daylight
The leaves and the fallen trees
Baby I’m thinkin that it’s alright
If you’re here standing next to me

Remember the nights we had together
In your eyes, they last forever
Baby in the daylight, you’re all I see

How come she neve
