sirens
i awoke to a woman's cries
in the glow of warm street light
maybe mother or the mother
of his child
sirens, sirens
sound all night
and oh
another one they say
oh
happens everyday
and oh, oh
comes and goes like rain
sirens call our names
mama when your
son was born
he was drafted to
civil war
mama they won't bring him back
draped in honor and country's flag
and oh
another one they say
oh
happens everyday
and oh, oh
comes and goes like rain
sirens call our names
i don't go
to sleep anymore
all i'll do is dream of war
i need more than
post and prayer
i need cries to cut the air
and oh
another one they say
oh
happens everyday
and oh, oh
comes and goes like rain
sirens call our names

hold me

hold me
hold me
hold me
I am breathless
weightless in her arms
nothing felt so much like home
yet i'm restless
the parts that i can't trust
reckless urge to stay alone
she said
hold me
when you start to loose control
when you feel like letting go
baby don't.
no one ever could control me
least of all myself
tangled up in consequence
i remember when she told me
she would be the one
spoken with all confidence
she said hold me
that's all i need you to do
break the skin if you have to
i can take the pain
for you
she said hold me
hold me
till you feel it-you can shout
hold me
if you feel it-ride it out
hold me
you can push me-i don't care
hold me
i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere
she said

let's keep it simple
let's let it go
let's not forget
what we both know
let's take it easy
let's take a breath
the world is still turning
the world will not end
let's eat some waffles
let's eat some chips
let's paint some ice cream
onto our lips
let's put on costumes
let's put on hats
let's go pretend
that we're both cats
let's tell a story
let's make a world
let's close our eyes
let's think of girls
let's make a promise
we both swear to keep
let's watch a movie
let's fall asleep
you are a mermaid
this is your sea
i am your island
come swim to me
let's take it easy
let's take a breath
the world is still turning
the world will not end
let's keep it simple
let's let it go
let's not forget
what we both know

blue like

blue like joni
blue like miles
blue like
tv sunday nights
Blue like ocean
blue like rain
blue like metal
blue like flame
when nothings right
but nothings wrong
blue like strings
in old love songs
hear you think
hear you sigh
you so stoic
tell me why
was it what i said?
something that i did?
How'd you get so
blue like smoke
and empty roads
blue like strength
blue like stones
you drift away
the empty page
the coffee stains
you sleep alone
self fulfilled
uninspired
you break mirrors
play with fire
you take walks
you get lost
i run to you
you walk away
what's so wrong with you?
what can i do?
how'd you get so blue
so blue
so blue
why you worry?
why you steam?
blue like memory
faded dreams
next to me
you're somewhere far
blue like echo
steel guitars
blue like blood
borrowed pain
blue like ink
the deepest stain
the pair of jeans
worn everyday
why are you scared to change?
maybe it's your style
try hide your smile
girl i know
you're
blue like
sky

it's been a long time
it's been a while
since i have seen your beautiful smile
i wrote you letters
i called you twice
a little physical connection would be nice
i just want you to know
i wanna rip off your clothes
i don't wanna hold hold back
i don't wanna go go slow
baby when i get back
i'm gonna wanna go go fast
i'm gonna wanna go go off
go off on that ass
it's been forever
it's been a while
since i have grazed your
beautiful thighs
ima be honest
i don't wanna lie
all these emotions are building up inside
i just want you to know
i wanna rip off your clothes
i don't wanna hold hold back
i don't wanna go go slow
baby when i get back
i'm gonna wanna go go fast
i'm gonna wanna go go off
go off on that ass

baby when i get back
i'm gonna wanna go go fast
i'm gonna wanna go go off
go off on that ass
but i won't
unless that's what you want
