if i told you i was sober
would this be over?
would you be gone?
and if i told you i was starting over
would that be too much?
oh, i can see the light coming through the blinds
oh, i think the sun is gonna shine
and if i told you
i felt better
would you remind me of yesterday?
would you tell me i was crazy?
would you say that too my face?
oh, i can see the light coming through the blinds
oh, i think the sun is gonna shine
and you drive me around this old town
you don't even need a map
and i'll open the side door
and jump barefoot onto the grass
and i think i'm home at last
oh, i can see the light coming through the blinds
oh, i think the sun is gonna shine

the boys

The boys and their Flippy hair
There so easy to push around
It's like I don't even care
But sometimes it's just nice to have someone around
And then something goes too far
And now I'm scared
Something strikes a chord
And now I'm running down the stairs
But I can swear on my mother's grave that
It's not you it's me
It's just how I've been conditioned to be
I walk into the kitchen with a
"He's in love with me"
It's just a symptom of my impulsivity
I can see it so clearly I'm wearing a white dress
But when I'm alone with him all I feel is distress
And I'm sitting in the back of his car
And he's showing me all his obscure CDs
And we go someplace to dance and he just stands there
And all I get is a bugbite on my cheek

glen's rock

Sitting on glens rock
With my feet dangling over the sides
Watching the wind make waves through the grass
Do I have the oceans eyes
And I'm so sick of gray skies
And never seeing the stars
You know he told me in the kitchen
That women are not from Mars
And the sun shines here all day
And it glistens and reflects off the bay
And I know I'm not alone anymore
Were all a bit different than before
But my laugh will take you back to 2015
When we were just kids running through the streets
And the sun shines there all day
Driving through the hills of la
When I could just pull up at your house and walk through the door

I lit a fire and watched it burn
For the first time today
I could've burned down all the wood in the forest
but I kept it neat and tidy
And I have such small hands
And they can clean things that you can't
But I've got a mouth the size of a whore's
Will that keep me from being yours
And all I can think of is you
And the girl I thought I knew
And if you wanted to run away
I could leave today
I sang all the songs I knew by heart
And I didn't talk to a soul
I jumped into the river
But it was really fucking cold
And you have such big hands
And theyd feel so warm around my waist
And if you wanted to be a hunter you could use me
As the bait
And all I can think of is you
And the girl I thought I knew
And if you knew you were leading me on
How could I be so wrong
I already know that this won't end well
But I won't tell
And all I can think of is you
And the girl I thought I knew
And how much you mean to me
And how nothing good in life is cheap

forest cow

Walk down a dirt path
Kneel beneath the trees to pray
In the distance see a mountains pass
And under it an alpine lake
There's cows in the forest
And ones laying down his sweet head
Please be gentle
While you lick off all of my regrets
And this is my church
It goes back all the way down to my roots
My father taught me to pray here
My father taught me to lay here
And it tells me the truth
That to me you are no use
And you're trying to teach me
And you're trying to reach into my guts and twist me around
I know you got me lost but I'll be found
And maybe I was just bored
Or maybe you were just a boy
Who gave me attention
Did I forget to mention the truth
That to you I am no use

I can see the whole world from my window in my room
It's such a nice view
I can see the whole world when I look at you
And you're so perfect sometimes it scares me but it's true
And the world is so big but I've gone so far
It can't be too hard just to go a bit further
You and me will go to outer space
I'll be about 30 by the time you leave this place
Maybe we'll just go down the street
Or maybe we'll go to Germany
But I get this Reoccurring dream that you get lost
And you can't find your way home
And I try to call you on the telephone
But you don't pick up
And I just give up
But then your eyes flash at me in the dark
And I know you're fine
And everything will be alright
