Perfect

When I met you then
It was immediate
I felt that rush of life
I haven't felt again
Are we growing up
Or am I wearing thin
What we used to be
What we should have been
I can hear you say
That you love me more
And I love you back
But I'm changing fast
And we're moving slow
Trying to stitch the split
Cause I still don't know
If I'm right for this
I could tell that you needed a change
But I never got the chance
I'm so focused on everyone else
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry I can't
Make this perfect like everything was
Make it feel like it did when we leapt
Cause the gravity's pulling us back
To the lives and the love that we left

The Back Seat

I’ll meet you there back where we parked the car
We’ll sit in the back seat and lose our inhibitions staring up and out in to the dark
I wanna fall apart
I wanna miss the mark
I wanna hate you so bad
That you never wanna start
We’ll talk for hours until we both get tired
We’ll sit in the back seat and let the light pour in and paint us like we’re both on fire
I wanna lose my mind
I wanna watch it die
I wanna make you so mad
But I wanna make you mine
I think I’d like you better if you ever shut your mouth
I wish I made an effort so you’d do it for yourself
I think you needed something but I’m too afraid to help
I wish I could
I think I’d like you better if you never changed your mind
I wish I said it different but I do it every time
I think I made the movements but I never got em right
I think I could
And so we left it there
Without a breath to spare
It never takes
And then the tension grew
A truth we always knew
But couldn’t say
I’m bound to stumble once
At least I thought I was
That's my mistake
I couldn’t hold you back
I know I’m bad at that
And I wanna change

I've Seen Enough

You said it’s hard for you to say
Why don’t you try it anyways
I think it’s helpful for us both
And when the words come pouring down
You still can’t get them out your mouth
So we just sit and fill the frame
I know I’m far from what you need
I’m trying to fill the gaps I’ve seen
Before they grow and make a hole
One that neither you or I could fix or fill
And if we tried, It’d take us both to live inside
You said I still don’t understand
The deck’s been stacked it’s in your hands
The cards are pressed against your chest
And if it’s me or someone else
I think transparency could help
And they could fill in all the rest
If everyone’s in the same place then how come you’re so far away
And what’s it take to get to you?
I still don’t wanna figure out
Exactly what it is about you I can’t get my head around
I am, I can’t, I will not bend, I’ve seen enough

Church on the Hill

Well we were good
I could hear you say
But I felt you slipping
And I felt you slip away
Your hand in mine
I could feel you stray
But I felt you slipping
And I felt you slip away
Cause we tied the rope
To a broken leg
I could feel it stripping
I could feel it strip away
And the tethered ends
Wouldn’t hold the weight
And I watched you give in
And I watched you giving in
I could feel you giving in
Forget everything that we do for ourselves
Let’s just hold it together for everyone else
Hear the bells in the distance, that church on the hill
I still can’t get back there, I’m hoping you will
To the beacons in August that filled up the sky
In the field where you fell
Where we laughed till we cried
I fled from the forest and gave you a name
In the house that we bought in the town I was raised
Where I lived with a stranger in a body you shared
And watched you unravel and flail by the stairs
You shed what was left of what made any sense
We’ve been losing ourselves at each others expense
Lets forget everything that we do for ourselves
Let’s just hold it together for everyone else
Hear the bells in the distance, that church on the hill
I still can’t get back there, I’m hoping you will
