Liminal State

There were times when this space was filled with more than silence
When every word that we whispered could vibrate the walls
Now I'm alone in this centre-ville apartment
And it's been several days since I took your calls
And you should know this isn't nothin' personal
You see, I haven't left my bed in days
The moon waxes and wanes just like she's supposed to
And I watch paralyzed in this liminal state
But I don't miss you anymore
No and I, I'm feeling fine
As it turns out you're the last thing on my mind
These days
Sometimes I wish I could forget all these moments
Just wrap them up and ship them somewhere warm
Or throw them into the ocean in a bottle
So one day they'll wash up on a distant shore
But I don't miss you anymore
No and I, I'm feeling fine
As it turns out you're the last thing on my mind
These days
These days
Cause when I'm feeling down and out
And my heart's all full out doubt
You bring me back
Oh you bring me back to the ground
When my head's all stuck in the clouds
Darling, you lift me up
Oh, you lift me up
And you hold me there tall and proud
Darling, bless you're little heart

Well I heard you were gunning for outer space, outer space
Floating time capsule full of sound and place
But how far do you have to go to make it count
And how far do you have to go before you touch the ground

Fast One

Pick me up, don't put me down
I'm trying not to touch the ground
Everything seems alright from up here
Thought that things were going fine
Oh, this is quite the surprise
I'll be alright just give me a minute
You thought
That you could pull a fast one on me
And you were right
Used to seeing oh so clearly
Now my visions less than twenty
Somehow I still seem to look right through ya
Never one for playing games
Oh, but I'll always take the blame
Maybe things are not quite as they seem
You thought
That you could pull a fast one on me
And you were right
Oh, and you were right

Oh, I've got a love that's easy
Didn't have to be so hard
Took no time, no time at all
To show you the colours in my heart
Oh, you had me from the start
You had me from the start
You had me from the start
It's true, it's all for you
Oh, I've got a love that's so sweet
Puttin' all the flowers to shame
Took no time, no time at all
For everything to rearrange
Oh, you had me from the start
You had me from the start
You had me from the start
It's true, it's all for you
You had me from the start
Right from the start x4

Sometimes

We can both admit that this conversation is overdue
Exchanging niceties like how've you been and did I see you at that show
Weeks ago
And I'd be a fool to deny
I still think about you sometimes
When holding back the blunt remarks
Isn't something that we're used to
Talk about your new girlfriend
And I'll pretend I'm over you
Meet me on the front porch
In the middle of the night
In late July
Tell me all your troubles
And I'll probably let you stay the night
And in the morning when you leave
You'll pretend that nothing ever happened
But I'll spend the day lying upside down trying to get you out of my head
When holding back the blunt remarks
Isn't something that we're used to
Talk about your new girlfriend
And I'll pretend I'm over you
You are very good at hiding things
And you probably think I'm a hypocrite
I swear, I didn't mean for this to take so long
I don't think either of us did
When holding back the blunt remarks
Isn't something that we're used to
Talk about your new girlfriend
And I'll pretend I'm over you

Maybe, Lately
01:59

Maybe this time things'll be different
Maybe this time things'll be fine
Don't hold your breath now
I like to take my time, lately
And it's no secret
I can't seem to keep it together
And now you're overcompensating
As if you could make everything better
Though I appreciate the effort
Maybe I'll feel better in summer
When the worlds all sunny and bright
You suggest it's not the weather
But I don't need your help
I'll figure it out
And it's no secret
I can't seem to keep it together
And now you're overcompensating
As if you could make everything better
Though I appreciate the effort

You're like a moonbeam
The way you light up the night sky
And even when I close by eyes
Oh, I can see you
Oh, and it's easy
For them to look at us and say
That this is probably just a phase
Cause they don't want to feel it
And oh, wouldn't they be lucky
To get a piece of what we got
A piece of what we got
And I know
In the way, you hold my gaze
That you don't look at him that way
You don't look at him that way
This feeling is foreign
The space between us is electric dust
What we're doing feels deeper than lust
Oh, it's atmospheric
She's like a sunbeam
Eclipsing me with every word that she says
We always knew we'd be more than friends
Though they tried to break us
And oh, this transfixion
Seems to know no bounds
I still think of you when he's around
Do you think of me when he's around
And oh, wouldn't they be lucky
To get a piece of what we got
A piece of what we got
And I know
In the way, you hold my gaze
That you don't look at him that way
You don't look at him that way
Ooooo x infinity
