a love untouched is the sun at dusk
on my window sill.
light on the snow has an ominous glow
your hair is tangled still
sometimes, sometimes, sometimes we fall behind
a doe passed me as i crossed the street
a week ago today
and a feeling passed, slipped right out of my grasp
like wind thru blades of grass
sometimes, sometimes, sometimes what we seek hides
my heart is a thumb pointed up at the sun
on a highway stretching on
my mind is a letter that never got sent
but got stamped anyway
sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, reasons don't rhyme

dreaming of you in my head, dreaming of things that you said
walking around, feet like lead and i just can't get out of bed
watching the clouds go by, over and over again
think i'll just stay inside, ever and ever again
the girl that i loved, she is gone and all i've got now are our songs
tuesdays, they hurt her the most. she told me she can't feel her nose
watching the sun in the sky, blinding and giving me eyes
wish i could just stay inside, ever and ever again
the boy that i loved, he is gone. i heard that he moved to yellowstone
he wanted to build us a house, somewhere to breathe out of town
and i just don't know
i just don't know
i just don't know
i just don't know

i am running from god,
god knows what
i am nothing but a cloud,
a cloud of dust
i am trying to say something,
but i don't know what
i am running from god,
god knows what
i am casting a shadow,
and the light bends back
i am on the edge of something
but it feels like nothing
i am running from god,
god knows what

yellow bird flies
yellow bird flies
doesn't ask why
cloud hugs the sky
cloud hugs the sky
doesn't ask why
i believe that absence makes the heart go wander
i believe that you are worth the fodder
i was my fathers only daughter
he told me "never be afraid of the water"
day shares with night
day shares with night
doesn't ask why
on the ground i see a vine
it winds and winds
doesn't even try
you don't have to try
you don't have to cry

pollinate me
04:29

little spiders build entire worlds
would you like to meet the love of mine?
he stands about a story high
his eyes are blue like little lullabies
when you came to town, you made me shake
made me think about mistakes i've made
could you tell me why you've got no shoes?
is there something i can do for you?
i'm a flower and you are a bee
honey won't you pollinate me?
pollinate, pollinate me,
but don't hate, don't hate me.
asked you why you had no shoelaces,
could you touch me til my heart races?
when you left the room to make some tea
i found your book of poetry.
don't know why it made me so horny,
but i never could shake that little feeling
i'm a flower and you are a bee
honey won't you pollinate me?
pollinate, pollinate me,
but don't hate, don't hate me.
i'm sick of taking out the trash
i'm sick of watching headlights flash
you stuck and poked some things on me
and i don't know why, but it made me bleed
when you came to town, i couldn't speak
and i only saw you once that week
when you left the bar to cross the sea
you forgot your book of poetry
i don't know why, but it made me bleed
and i never could shake that little feeling
i'm a flower and you are a bee
honey won't you pollinate me?
pollinate, pollinate me,
but don't hate, don't hate me.
you're a bird and i am a tree
honey won't you build a nest in me?
build a nest, build a nest in me
but don't leave, don't leave me.

seed

a seed holds the tree
in its entirety
and the body
holds a life to come,
the birds pass by with no place to call home
moss points a certain direction
that i have forgotten
it stays close to the surface
i cross streets i don't know the name of
who holds a key? to a lock long lost,
hidden somewhere i can't see
a seed holds the tree
in its entirety.
and the body
holds a life to come,
the birds pass by with no place to call home
papa wakes up at five til 8,
and i was feeling good, but now i'm feeling great.
toast is burnt and the eggs are runny, but you turn my tea
into honey. you make it funny
you call me honey
you call me honey
papa moves quick from left to right
and i was feeling sad, but now i'm feeling alright
sun is gone and the clouds come in, but you turn my heart
right side in. you make me grin
you make me spin
you make me spin
papa comes home at half passed 3.
i wonder where i was before we were we.
concrete is wet in the muddy ground, but in your smile
my world is round, and filled with sound
and i feel found
i feel found

spring time lover, my perennial flower
how come i only see you when april showers?
and every downpour only lasts an hour?
spring time lover, green as the trees
spring time lover, only nineteen
and the words you're breathing, i don't know what they mean.
maybe it's because, you are your father's son.
spring time lover, where is your head?
we woke up feeling like we were dead
and we're only friends when we're in bed
spring time lover, you touched my hips
the sun was setting across your lips
and as night fell i knew we wouldn't kiss
maybe it's because, you're afraid of everyone
spring time lover, it'll be over
once we're sober, come october
maybe i'll meet you when you're older
spring time lover, where did you go?
can't you see the flowers, are waiting to grow?
they can not bloom beneath your snow
maybe it's because, you're afraid of the sun.

i thought i'd find you in point reyes
i thought i'd see you in bolinas
cause when we met, i didn't know
that you were moving to san francisco
i thought i saw you in a cloud
i think i felt you on the ground
but i wasn't sure, and i'll never know
cause you took the sun to san francisco
some day soon, i'll find you
some day soon, i'll find you
pat was dreaming inside green eyes
and i woke up, but could not drive
i called your name, but no one came,
cause everyone is all the same

two floors
03:28

you said you'd walk back. i forgot my hat
asked for a smoke, and i watched you choke
we lived two floors away
we threw two years away
we lived two floors away
for two years
i was a girl, then. waiting for something
something so small, tender and raw
i zipped my backpack up, you filled up both cups
we waited downstairs, i didn't feel scared
we took off two ways, nothing but a wave
i didn't look back and i took the cat
we lived two floors away
we threw two years away
we lived two floors away
for two years

i can't believe how much you'd grown
and when you blink the planets glow
all the things i'd grown to know
melted under april's snow
you were my ohio girl
we're not in athens anymore
and kevin said he'd shut the door
we're not in athens anymore
all my life i've been uphill
it felt like we were jack and jill
my heart breaks from knowing things
will never be called into being
you were my ohio girl
we're not in athens anymore
and kevin said he'd shut the door
we're not in athens anymore
your boat has a hole underneath
but i could be a submarine
chemicals and gasoline
i wanted you to be my queen
you were my ohio girl
we're not in athens anymore
and kevin said he'd shut the door
we're not in athens anymore
always the greatest day
always the greatest day
