EVERMORE IS JUST SO AMAZING, I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH
willow (FAVOURITE)
life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
they count me out time and time again
life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
but i come back stronger than a '90s trend
champagne problems (MY FOREVER FAVOURITE, I WILL ALWAYS ALWAYS SCREAM THIS BRIDGE)
your midas touch on the chevy door
november flush and the flannel cure
"this dorm was once a madhouse"
i made a joke, "well, it's made for me"
how evergreen, our group of friends
don't think we'll say that word again
and soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls
that we once walked through
one for the money, two for the show
i never was ready so i watched you go
sometimes you just don't know the answer
'til someone's on their knees and asks you
"she would've made such a lovely bride
what a shame shes fucked in the head," they said
but you'll find the real thing instead
she'll patch up your tapestry that i shred
gold rush (MAKES ME SOB EVERY TIME) (FAVOURITE) doesn't have one
'tis the damn season (FAVOURITE)
sleep in half the day just for old times' sake
i won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay
so i'll go back to la and the so called friends
who'll write books about me if i ever make it
and wonder about the only soul
who can tell which smiles i'm fakin'
and the heart i know i'm breakin' is my own
to leave the warmest bed i've ever known
we could call it even
even though i'm leaving
and i'll be yours for the weekend
'tis the damn season
tolerate it (FAVOURITE FOREVER)
while you were building other worlds, where was i?
where's the man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire?
i made you my temple, my mural, my sky
now i'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life
drawing hearts in the byline
always taking up too much space or time
you assume i'm fine, but what would you do if i
no body, no crime (THE STORYTELLING IS INCREDIBLE) (FAVOURITE)
good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when i was fifteen
and i've cleaned up enough houses to know how to cover up a scene
good think este's sister's gonna swear she was with me
(she was with me dude)
good thing his mistress took out a big life insurance policy
happiness (FAVOURITE)
i can't make it go away by making you a villain
i guess it's the price i paid for seven years in heaven
and i pulled your body into mine
every goddamn night, now i get fake niceties
no one teaches you what to do
when a good man hurts you
and you know you hurt him too
dorothea (FAVOURITE) doesn't have one
coney island (FAVOURITE)
were you waiting at our old spot
in the tree line
by the gold clock
did i leave you hanging every single day?
were you standing in the hallway
with a big cake, happy birthday
did i paint your bluest skies the darkest grey?
a universe away
and when i got into the accident
the sight that flashed before me was your face
but when i walked up to the podium, i think that i forgot to say your name
ivy (FAVOURITE)
so yeah, it's a fire
it's a goddamn blaze in the dark
and you started it
you started it
so yeah, it's a war
it's the goddamn fight of my life
and you started it
you started it
cowboy like me (FAVOURITE)
and the skeletons in both our closets
plotted hard to fuck this up
and the old men that i've swindled
really did believe i was the one
and the ladies lunchin' have their stories about
when you passed through town
oh, but that was all before i locked it down
long story short (FAVOURITE)
no more keepin' score
now i just keep you warm (keep you warm)
no more tug of war
now i just know there's more (know there's more)
no more keepin' score
now i just keep you warm (keep you warm)
and my waves meet your shore
ever and evermore
marjorie (FAVOURITE) (reminds me of my great-grandad :(
the autumn chill that wakes me up
you loved the amber skies so much
long limbs and frozen swims
you'd always go past where our feet could touch
and i complained the whole way there
the car ride back and up the stairs
i should've asked you questions
i should've asked you how to be
asked you to write it down for me
should've kept every grocery store receipt
'cause every scrap of you would be taken from me
watches as you signed your name marjorie
all your closets of backlogged dreams
and how you left them all to me
closure (FAVOURITE)
i know i'm just a wrinkle in your new life
staying friends would iron it out so nice
guilty, guilty, reaching out across the sea
that you put between you and me
but it's fake and it's oh so unnecessary
evermore (FAVOURITE)
can't not think of all the cost
and the things that will be lost
oh, can we just get a pause?
to be certain we'll be tall again
whether weather be the frost
or the violence of the dog days
i'm on waves, out being tossed
is there a line that i could just go cross?
and when i was shipwrecked (can't think of all the cost now)
i thought of you (all the things that will be lost now)
in the crack of light (can we just get a pause?)
i dreamed of you (to be certain we'll be tall again)
(if you think of all the cost)
it was real enough (whether weather be the frost)
to get me through (or the violence of the dog days)
(or the violence of the dog days)
(out on waves, being tossed)
(i'm on waves, out being tossed)
but i swear (is there a line that we can just go cross?)
you were there
right where you left me (FAVOURITE FOREVER)
at the restaurant when i was still the one you want
cross-legged in the dim light, everything was just right
i,i could feel the mascara run
you told me that you met someone
glass shattered on the white cloth
everybody moved on
it's time to go (FAVOURITE) doesn't have one
