Dreams 05:19
Do you remember my face? Do you remember my name? I don’t recall meeting you But I recall feeling you Can you hear me in the nighttime? Can you heal me in the moonlight? I don’t believe in stones, but I Keep wishing on a wishing stone I feel it in the air, now I feel you coming near I felt you in my dream last night I felt you closer dear I think I go insane When I see you in my frame of view I keep thinking of you When my heart starts beating With the synchronicity of the feeling from you I think another side of me comes through I feel it in the air, now I feel you coming near I felt you in my dream last night I felt you closer dear

Thanks to this waiting, I’m finding my patience All of these ages I’m fearful to break in I’ve been waiting for you––not you, but a clue As to how feel alright when I’m gone on the inside Day after day I’m awaiting these has-beens Places I’ve been, the same songs I’ve been singing I’ve been waiting for you--not you, but the truth As to how to touch the ground with my head in the clouds Anything to take away my pain I can’t say I know what pain is anyway Been feeling lately estranged from safety If I sound crazy, please don’t listen to me babe See to your dreams, but don’t leave me in my sleep Go if you need to, I’ll be fine if I can’t see you I’ve been waiting for you--but I’ve been trying not to I’ve been tryna feel alright when I’m gone on the inside Anything to take away my pain I can’t say I know what pain is anyway Been feeling lately estranged from safety If I sound crazy please don’t listen to me, babe I can’t explain About my day-to-day But I can’t stay away From this feeling I’m going insane I can’t complain I can’t abstain I can’t discern my vice from virtue, anyway I can’t discern my vice from virtue, anyway

In the end, I’ll come running to you If it breaks my bones, I’ll make it home I still see your idiosyncrasies But all I hear is the sweet ocean breeze Maybe one day I’ll just show up Maybe then I’ll be a no one Maybe you’ll remember my face Maybe you’ll remember my taste If I called, you wouldn’t answer Ain’t that right? No I can’t be Too sad or too sweet I have to see to your fondest memory I’ll take your shape I’ll paint my face I’ll throw my silver sliver of self away Maybe I’ll give all this shit up, Kill that girl I used to dream of Living for a fantasy, she’ll soon be six feet underneath Maybe I should keep to myself Scared of all these memories I’m scared to see what’s left of me I’m scared you won’t be sentimental Scared that you’ll be too forgetful I know you’ll forget me soon enough If it breaks my bones, I’ll make it home Leave––my body is crushed, it shouldn’t be touched Take my pride by your side, it was never mine I’ll meet you in another life

Anywhere 04:58
Been a bit inside of my head, I haven’t Got out since you left town, so I’ll Knock the sense back into your head to get you Back home with my back hand I wish I knew all the reasons I crave you Late in the afternoon, lately I’m filled with gloom, reaching out To the moon, waiting for days anew When the day is through If I could I’d breach the gap to save you So listen if you care to, but I won’t please you I won’t rectify the ways I treat you I’ll be standing by if you ever need to speak to The one who knows the dark like light The one who knows it’s cold inside Living livid, kisses killing At a first touch, so baby just don’t rush Though I’m shameless, far too complacent I will test my patience Never been to great with latent goodbyes Rather have you stay ‘till I get tired I’d cross the ocean just to see you smile Sail the seas so you could waste my time Though it ain’t mine I’d race you to the end of days To watch you age beneath my gaze Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere I’d run to, I’d go Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere I’d take you, I’d go Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere I’d run to, I’d go Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere to be with you

Stupefy me And indict me Don’t lose track of my waning patience Don’t step back on my untied laces Stupefy me And ignite me I’m caught In the arms of a loss Of a love I never touched And knowledge that I rushed Stupid fights With my left-brained mind I don’t know whose side to be on I don’t know if I can be faithful to one Been faithful all these waking years My only god is the god of fear That lives inside my mind And my body I’m caught In the jaws of a loss Of a love that wasn’t mine Though I sought it all the time For the comfort that it brought I’m caught In the jaws of a loss At the break of the dawn When my day’s long gone

Early Riser 04:37
Every day I watch the sun rise Every day I count my waking minutes away Every day I watch the sun set I’m an early riser In a nocturnal cycle Temptation Haunted by haunting frustration Hiding behind your own lying, trying times Hiding inside these wasted daydreams of yellow daisies It’s only easy as long as I say it can be Every day I watch the sun rise Every day I count my waking minutes away Every day I watch the sun set I’m an early riser In a nocturnal cycle Caught in between the current and the breeze Whistling the songs of freedom from the birds in the trees Counting ripples, counting clouds Counting fish, their bubbles, counting sounds From the street, from underneath me From all the air I couldn’t breathe It tasted like the air I’d breathed I guess it’s all the same to me Every day I watch the moon dance into the western sky Every day I watch the moon eat away my precious time Every day watch the sun bleed away its yellow light Every day when the time’s right, in the nighttime I’ll be alright Say goodbye to the shield of the moonlight I’ll be gone till the dawn of the sunrise Throw a bone to your home and your old life Run away from the day if it feels rights Kill your soul, burn a hole in your own mind Never know when it grows what you might find Trust yourself, take no help, take no advice Listen close if you know where your heart lies

Oh Yeah 04:52
On the water, just like every day Your eyes in sight, I try to look both ways Chasing fragments of a dream I once had I feel like a woman with my face in your hands Got me sayin’ Oh Yeah Let your mouth flow freely Let your mind run clearly Take it slow now for me, baby I’ve been waiting for years I’ve been stuck in my fears Over when you come near Cigarette on my tongue And your breath in my lungs Makes my body go numb Got me sayin’ Oh Yeah
