Lighthouse 04:01
Lighthouse You leapt from the ship From your body, or what was left of it Mind a ripped mainsail Skin a holding cell And I'll descend with you in the end But it's okay, you go on alone And I'll stay away and watch you waste away To be a lighthouse for you I'll stay away, and if you withstand the waves I'm a lighthouse for you However you wash to the shore Heart an empty sardine can Bobbing on the ship's wake And I often feel like jetsam Legs tangled in algae and plastic bags But it's okay, you go on alone Wind brushed the ship's bow like my hand on your brow Wind brushed the ship's bow like my hand on your brow But it's okay… Wind brushed the ship's bow like my hand on your brow Wind brushed the ship's bow like my hand on your brow My hand on your brow…

Best for You 04:03
Best for You I am very patient. I hold my tongue. My tongue is sore. My eyes are numb. I always try, and I will keep on waiting for you. My mind is clean. I have these nice intentions I'm collecting that I want to launch at your happy head when you're not looking. Me and my cannon are waiting for you (and loading an arsenal). I want what's best for us, peace and pretty things. I want, I want what's right, what this should be. And I'll stay right here, on guard while the others sleep while the others have sweet dreams of you like I hope to, too I am very patient. I hold my tongue. I have these nice intentions. I want what's best for you. What’s best for you?

Gold Irises 04:26
Gold Irises I know these hills— I've sat in the dry grass long enough Just scanning the horizon a sunset burnt in my corneas. Few people have come this way and I admire your gold irises— your search for love that never sets ‘cause you can't see what you've found, yet. So let the clouds wisp white in the soft, soft blue I'd like to show you something brighter than this— But I'll leave it untold, in a blindfold It's in what you feel burn your skin. Few people have got it all and I don't know what kind of sense it makes To keep staring at one distant star when you know you can't ride that far. So let the clouds wisp white in the soft, soft blue

Swing 04:23
Swing Come here, come sit by my side Come here, come stay in my life I had a dream of a lake with a swing And your smile beamed as you swung Your yelps warmed my chest Your life was a mess, so was mine We swam, kicking our legs like a frog in a pot It was hot And in water that heavy a conscience can float Like a boat, easy-now Then you laid on a boulder lit with the sun You were done I climbed a rock to breathe in the view Of what we'd become Lifting my shoulders, I captured the sky In my palms But I slipped in the mud My knee stung with love, I was fine We hid something ahead With what we left behind Like a rock for the current to slide against When you need a safe place to rest I'll be here every time Come here, come sit by my side Come here, come stay in my life And things will get better in time
