Drop a line the summer’s calling
Missed the bus so we’ll keep walkin’
Couple blocks and all this silence
Bound to turn to talking
Are you down to mess around?
Rising moon and a forty ounce
Sit out on the fire escape
Behind my neighbor’s house
I don’t like to spill my guts but
I get so sad, I get so drunk
I’ll eat these words but I think
You’re a shoulder I can trust
Graveyard shift
Without a ghost to haunt me
Kill my time
I am yours, if you want me
Ketamine, amphetamines
Saying shit that you don't mean
Still you're the boy in all those dreams
I've been blessed to borrow
Latchkey kids have all been told
Rock and roll will save their souls
But spending all this time alone
Is bound to leave you hollow
Can you see it in my eyes?
I’m not much fun, I'm not that nice
But I’d stay up with you all night
To kill the age old sorrow
Graveyard shift
Without a ghost to haunt me
Kill my time
I am yours, if you want me
Who’d have guessed I could be your type
Hanging by the pool while I was hanging on for life
Close your eyes let the world pass by
And fall into your glove
Cause everything I touch seems to turn to ash and dust
And I can’t stand to put that all on you
I know you’ve had it good and good for you, I think you should,
Some people they just got too much to lose
Ooh ooh ooh you're gonna make go insane
Ooh ooh ooh sandy shoes and pick up games
My heart was barely beating
But I was set on keeping it that way
Seventeen with the sun in your eyes
May we never grow old, may we never die
Stuck together, stuck like legs on leather
In a Grandville ‘75
When I said “babe I bet you're burning just to put this thing on ice”
And you said “you don’t know the half of what I’d like—
Well I’d swim to hell and Melbourne to have you for myself
Towel off and watch you do the same for someone else”
Ooh ooh ooh you're gonna make go insane
Ooh ooh ooh faded jeans and tinted shades
Oh I was only dreaming
But I was set on sleeping through my days
Oh I was only dreaming
But I was set on sleeping through my days
There’s a mariners church where my friend and I’d go
When we wanted our talk cheap and our coffee cold
Silent gray men at the tables alone
Watching newspapers fade and old friends get old
Loneliness means different things to each person
To me open water’s as low as room service
And I don’t think I could go on for so long
Away from a love without fearing its gone
Maybe if I was a kid again
I could hold you without my hands
Killing time in my fantasies
Center stage dressed in velveteen
Felt real to me
I know you think that I’m crazy
But you look like crushes I had who are now pushing daisies
And I don’t understand why,
I don’t understand time, but I try
I've always been drawn to the things that hold up
Played you Arthur McBride as you filled up your cup
Kind of song that sounds like its always been sung
Born in the soil, and grown straight up, through the mud
I was falling so hard for you
Watched my eyes change from green to blue
Never said it was love I was feeling
Called it fun and then stared at the ceiling
Like I’m supposed to do
And when I get older I know you will be
One of ten million faces I’ve seen
But I will hear every word you said
’Til my ears rot away from my head
’Til I’m too far gone to be dead
’Til there’s nothing but silence left
’Til there’s nothing but silence left
Woke up to thunder and lighting
No one but darkness beside me
With the walls of my room falling in like a tomb
And all of my good days behind me
Got no reason to be afraid
With pillows and blankets and blood in my veins
I shouldn't ask for anything else
But I ask it anyway
All through the howling wind
All through the rain
Holding my breath to the beat of your name
Hoping I’ll see you again
Night gets long till a nightingale’s song
Cuts through the cracks of my phone
Something ‘bout somebody singing they’re lonely
Makes you feel not so alone
Then I picture you at the foot of my bed
Taking the palm of my hand
Saying “I know you carry the weight of the world
But it sure feels good to dance”
All through the howling wind
All through the rain
Holding my breath to the beat of your name
Hoping I’ll see you again
And when I fall to a deep dark sleep
The kind that has no end
I’ll wait at the gates like I’m seventeen
The moon just a pearl in my hands
You’d stare at your sneakers and kick round the lace,
Like who needs the world anyway?
When I loved you more than the songs we’d play
Or any words could say
All through the howling wind
All through the rain
Holding my breath to the beat of your name
Hoping I’ll see you again
