Boys

Where do we put all the boys who had mothers
Who drank themselves silly waiting for husbands
To come home with money
Isn’t it funny
Who we blame
It’s hard to believe with your face in the pavement
That people would change if you just had the patience
Somebody started it
Don’t be an easy target
No cake until your plate is clean
No love until I know that you can give it back to me
A light is setting through the trees
Don’t wait for me
Put all of the sharp ends you found in the basement
There’s too much to do and the money needs making
Some bets are worth taking
The horses are
Ready to run
Don’t borrow your way through the land of the living
Where drinking and praying are all that you’re given
If the sky doesn’t look right
Remember to
Change flights
No cake until your plate is clean
No love until I know that you can give it back to me
A light is setting through the trees
Don’t wait for me
No cake until your plate is clean
No love until I know that you can give it back to me
A light is setting through the trees
Don’t wait for me

Unfaithful

I’d be unfaithful
If I could get away
From all the consequences
I worked so hard to create
Beautiful David
You are a work of art
And I am Jonathan
Late in the night
Nobody’s home
A candle flickers
Shadows on the wall
Fly
Fly
Fly
Fly me home
Before we let ourselves go
Before the colors start to show
Fly me home
You didn’t call me
I said I was working late
The Fall then the Winter came
A walk on a moonless night
There is an ocean
Growing between our worlds
Being the first to speak
Is the hardest thing
The sink is leaking
Someone’s knocking at the door
Fly
Fly
Fly
Fly me home
Before we let ourselves go
Before the colors start to show
Fly me home

Drifting

Drifting
Always drifting
Wave after wave
Floating away
Dying
To feel human again
Pick up the phone
Call someone you love
In time, we’ll change
Nothing stops the world from turning
I promise I’ll stay
Is that so hard to say
Drifting
Always drifting
Wave after wave
Floating away
This town
Doesn’t laugh anymore
All of my friends
Have a bone to pick
Cheap beer, cheap thrills
Everyone has a reason
The sun creeps in
I’m too tired to begin
Drifting
Always drifting
Wave after wave
Floating away
Drifting
Always drifting
Wave after wave
Floating away
Drifting
Always drifting
Wave after wave
Floating away

Pink Sky

Sing a song
Into the pink sky
Watch the half-light keep
The evening blue at bay
Don’t speak up
It only slows us down
There are a million faces
Waiting to be found
She breaks through
Uncages you
The rolling sun
You are done
Light a flame
For all the ones who passed
For all the lives you lived
And doors you closed too fast
Take a chance
Before your mind caves in
When all the pieces break
They never fit again
She shakes you
And takes you through
The rolling sun
You are done
She breaks through
Uncages you
The rolling sun
You are done
