I Don't Know How

I thought love was violent
it's the heart that beats
i thought love was blinding
a game of hide and seek
stumbling dark, you count to three
but you can't see me
I don't know, I don't, I don't know
I don't know how
Out in the garden, won't you sit?
Stoney and tired
I can feel it
heavy lidded, knuckles white
you strain to grip
I wake up the moment you slip
I don't know where you are going,
no this time
darling wherever you're going
I am staying behind
you soar to high, wings wax to sky
and i cannot reach you now
I don't know, I don't, I don't know
I don't know how
I don't know, I don't, I don't know
I don't know how
I don't know, I don't, I don't know
I don't know how

Here or Not

I thought it wouldn't hurt when you died
you suffered enough, I thought it was time
I thought it wouldn't hurt when it was over
nothing could be worse than this stretched out hurt
I was wrong, I was wrong
does it matter you're here or not?
does it matter, does it matter
whether you're here or not
does it matter, does it matter
cause I love you
whether you're here or not
wether you're here or not
I didn't believe them, what they said
there was a way around this I hadn't found yet
I didn't believe it would really happen
how could someone so real, just not be here?
I was wrong, I was wrong
does it matter you're here or not?
does it matter, does it matter
whether you're here or not
does it matter, does it matter
cause I love you
whether you're here or not
wether you're here or not
I didn't think I could survive
you suffered enough,
then you left me behind
I didn't think I could keep going
now you were gone
I was wrong, I was wrong
does it matter you're here or not?
does it matter, does it matter
whether you're here or not
does it matter, does it matter
cause I love you
whether you're here or not
wether you're here or not
wether you're here or not
wether you're here or not

This Hurts Too Much

This hurts too much,
How do people stand it?
How do they go to parties
And talk with their insides on fire?
Wither to the touch, asses the damage
File a new report, jury left the court
Nothing to salvage
Chorus
Climbing up the stairs, old nightmares
Catching me in new daylight
Dreaming unaware, no I’m not here
Flapping but I can’t take flight
Down a hall hallway, I’m a whole way away
From feeling right, allright?
You were one call away, what I’d give to hear you say
Maybe that’s just life
Ohh it hurts too much
This hurts too much,
Beating up on the ribcage
How do you know better? Well you got your letter
I’ve got my blank page
When’s enough, enough- aren’t you afraid?
Bashing bruise on skin, come on let me in
What’s it going to take?
Chorus
Climbing up the stairs, old nightmares
Catching me in new daylight
Dreaming unaware, no I’m not here
Flapping but I can’t take flight
Down a hall hallway, I’m a whole way away
From feeling right, allright?
You were one call away, what I’d give to hear you say
Maybe that’s just life
Ohh it hurts too much
This hurts too much,
shuck the heart and lay the soil
Down in the pressure, what do you like better?
The diamond or the oil?
And I am buried. Can I survive it?
Well there’s only one way, only one, only one way
To find out
Chorus
Climbing up the stairs, old nightmares
Catching me in new daylight
Dreaming unaware, no I’m not here
Flapping but I can’t take flight
Down a hall hallway, I’m a whole way away
From feeling right, allright?
You were one call away, what I’d give to hear you say
Maybe that’s just life
Ohh it hurts too much

Sweet full moon
four beats of a tune
crack of the fire a low gentle hum
knit of the day unwound and undone
paperback book a star lit lane
and your feet on the earth when it starts to rain
and oh, theres a light and a heat where it strikes
and the storm rolls wherever wherever it likes
I don't need your anger, I don't need your pain
I don't need you calling to say that you'll change
I don't want your pity, I know all your lines
The shake in your voice when you say that it's fine
Orange and blue
Orange and blue
Frost over the grass
crystal rainbow on glass
pink in your cheek cold air in your lungs
red gloves on fingers mint tea on your tongue
thermos stashed away in your bag and
ginger clove cookies to eat when your sad
oh, theres a light and a heat where it strikes
and the storm rolls wherever wherever it likes
I don't need your anger, I don't need your pain
I don't need you calling to say that you'll change
I don't want your pity, I know all your lines
The shake in your voice when you say that it's fine
Orange and blue
Orange and blue
Orange and blue
Orange and blue
