Head Back
Tilt Chin
Sharp Teeth
Soft Skin
Breathe In
Eyes Closed
Breathe Out
Breathe In
Hands Clenched
Cold Nights
Bright Eyes.
Thin Sheets
Breathe Me
Switch Sides
I wrote a letter to the lord, asked for a girl, I could not ignore.
I wrote a letter to the sea, asked for a love, with teeth to capture me.
I can’t hear you breathe and not, need to make you breathe a little harder
I can’t – Can’t hear your heartbeat and not, need to make it beat a little faster
I can’t even hear you breathe, I can’t even hear you…
I was only half alive, I was only half alive before I loved you.

Don't Let Me Get Away
03:14

I will try to keep in check but I know from time to time
I will try to push you back to see if you will fight, if you’ll still come home to me tonight.
And I will try, to look for any flag that I might miss.
I’ll worry sometimes about the way you kiss me goodnight, I’ll wonder if I’m wrong or right.
And I’ll get scared.
And I will try to start a fight.
And I will try, to blow it up and hand you all the blame.
I’ll tell myself to fuck it up first just in case.
Tell myself anything in hopes to keep me safe.
And I will push you, just to see how hard you’re willing to push back.
And none of it’s okay yeah I know that.
And if I could you know I’d take it back.
So don’t let me get away with it.
Don’t let me get away with it.
Don’t let me get away.
And I’d much rather write a song about the color of your eyes
Or the way that smile kills me darling, makes me lose all sense of time.
Yeah I’d much rather write a song about the desert rain at night.
Or those cliffs I thought were too steep baby.
Or the way you steal my breath, right out from underneath.
So I will try to keep in check but I know from time to time,
I will try to push you back to see if you will fight, and I know that it’s not right.
So don’t let me get away with it.
Don’t let me get away with it.
Don’t let me get away.

Sing Me To Sleep
04:04

I’ve been gone for 3 days, 3 nights too long
Slipping barely under sleep-waves, waiting for my song.
All I is your voice - pressed against my ear
Sing me to sleep love
Sing me till I disappear
Close your eyes
We’ve got time
Where you go I go - I’ll
Be right Beside
You’ve been gone for 3 days, and I’m still in my head
Full of ghosted conversations and words we left unsaid
All I want is your hand – pressed against my heart
Love me when I can’t see
Love me in the dark
So sing me to sleep
Love me when I can’t see, Love me in the dark

Lucky

When I was a child I walked around with my hand stretched to my side
And in the front seat, I spread my fingers out when I learned to drive
I was waiting for your hanD, I was waiting for you
When I was alone and I watched them slip as they sliced into my skin
At that hospital, where the blood poured over my arms and the light shined in
I was waiting for your hand, I was waiting for you
I was overjoyed by the hope that you’d walk in at a red light
All the days that I did not know if I’d make it through the night
How lucky am I
To be alive to love you
How lucky am I
To be alive to love you
Let me go, let me go back and tell me
I’ll survive and say someday you will find me.
Let me go, let me go back and tell me
I was overjoyed by the hope that you’d walk in at a red light
All the days that I did not know if I’d make it through the night
How lucky am I
To be alive to love you
How lucky am I
To be alive

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
Oh yes I know it
(Yeah!) He's been workin' so hard
(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah!) Every night and day
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'cause girl, there's a better life for me and you
(Don’t let me be misunderstood)
(Bury my body lord I don’t care where they, bury my body cause my soul is going to live with g-d)
