Garden 

We didn’t fall in love in a garden 
But we kind of did 
We were just standing in my doorframe trying not to kiss 
I used to live in a house with friends and a big backyard 
And I never built a garden like I wanted 
I hope someone else moved in and planted seeds where there were none
and i hope they bloomed 

Oh can you see it 
When you look at me 
I hope that you know that 
You’re all the garden I need 
You’re all the garden I need 

Now I got a dog 
I still don’t have a garden 
but we have a home 
its all i really wanted 
but someday i will plant it myself 
All full of flowers 
cut them down to give to you 

Oh can you see it 
when you look at me 
I hope you can see that 
you’re all the garden i need 

Take it slow 
Take it slow 
We have so much room to grow 
Take it slow

 

Tomorrow

I'll wash the blood from my hands
and I'll pour myself a drink
cause I'll do it all again
tomorrow
And I'm sorry for my sins 
I'm trying not to
run my mouth again
I won't come back to this place

I won't come back
I won't come back

There's still nothing good left to say
But I'll say it anyway
Cause I can't bear the silence or the grave
And I love you like a kid
I could hold you till my dying day
But I won't come back to this place

I won't come back
I won't come back

What if all it ever was
was a love on its knees
crying out baby won't you come home to me
And what if I'm the love
forgot how to hold myself too
How am i supposed to know what to do
How am i supposed to know how to love you 

 

Lose You 

I took my words packed them up when i found they didn't help me
I hold my tongue on the days I don't know myself at all
dust me off ten feet deep
I buried her a few months back
maybe we should put the shovel down

this taste in my mouth, is this what being loved is like

I'm trying my very best
not to lose you
I'm trying my very best not to leave

You take what you have and you give it all to me
lover like a landslide endless particles i can't see
Every time you touch me i lose my way
Darling I will try to stay

This lump in my throat, is this what being loved is like 

I'm trying my very best 
not to lose you
I'm trying my very best not to leave

But it's hard sometimes love
i wanna give myself away
It's hard sometimes love 
I wanna give it all away 
It's hard sometimes love 
I wanna give myself away 
so i can find myself
a reason
to stay 

 

Good Dream 

You hit me hard you broke me open
You ran through me like a storm 
Came to you with all that I'm holding
Take what's mine I'll take what's yours

If you hadn't asked i still would have noticed
but you did and i did and it kept me up
Cigarette lungs I left the light on
Hoping your voice would wake me

I know you're leaving in the morning 
taking your band and driving north 
I'm a liar and you're a good good dream 
I wish you would stay 
for what it's worth

Swallow me whole body moving
cause you got me swaying to your beat
babygirl take me in your hands
before i crumble at your feet

I know you're leaving in the morning
taking your band and driving north
I'm a liar and you're a good good dream
I wish you would stay
for what it's worth

I'm gonna break my own heart
So you don't have to do it for me
I will get there first
Is it wrong to be this lonely
Who are you to hold me like
Everything I say matters 

 

Cigarette

I used to hate that you smoked 
Now I miss your exhale 
Cut my breathing on a ghost 
I got lost in exile 

I look up and it’s raining
I look down and it’s gone 
I get scared all the time still 
Is it too much to ask 

It's not like I was running scared 
I just got fucked up on time in space 
Couldn’t get ahead of it this time
It’s not the right moment not the right place 

I look up and it’s raining 
I look down and you're gone  
I get scared all the time still  

Is it too much to ask 
Not to leave me yet 
Hold me in your hands 
Between your lips like a cigarette 

Breathe me in
