Daffodils

I put a daffodil into your hair
And you smiled so soft in the gleaming sun
But you took it out when I turned away
I still try to imagine your face as it was
Only two years ago when our love wasn't these songs.
And I want to paint the past into my present brain
With the brushes you used to construct those beautiful things
And sometimes I'm still in reverie when
I think about how I used to be able to sleep.
And I reconstruct the laws of gravity,
So I hold my breath for three whole years.

Finding Saturn
08:08

You're beautiful in every way imaginable.
You're perfect in every way, so indescribable.
And it would take my life to even scratch of the surface of how much I love you with words.
You're a mystery to this universe and it amazes me.
And if you want we could find Saturn through our 15 dollar telescope.
And it would make my life if I could die next to you
And fade away to the outline of your face.
Princess, when you fall asleep please have the sweetest dreams.
(Even if they're not of me)
And darling, when I call your name please come to me.
(So we can fall asleep)
I'll just sing low.
I'll just sing low so you don't hear me.
I'll just sing low so you don't need me.
I'll just sing low so you don't hear me.
I'll just sing low so you don't miss me.

Scarves & Sweaters

It's been a cold winter.
But you've been here to warm my skin and bones.
Your scarves & your sweaters wrap around my cheeks when I hold you close.
There's summer in your eyes.
And there's spring in your voice, angel.
I remember seeing Copeland,
Replacing all the words with your name.
I remember seeing Owen,
And driving back in the dark, cold rain at 3 a.m.
(But do you?)
There's summer in your eyes.
And there's spring in your voice, angel.
There was summer in your eyes.
And spring in your voice, angel.
There was fall in your sighs.
And nothing else more beautiful than you.
But how's winters going to be this year without you here to warm me?

June

I've got a lot of things stuck in my head.
I've got a list of words that I haven't said,
And it's a mix of I love you and I hate yous.
There's been a lot of nights when I haven't slept.
There's been so many nights where I've cried myself to sleep,
Without the hope of any dreams; just nightmares or nothing
June please come back soon.
I need the warmth of the full moon
But don't you know that you save my life
With every time that you blink your eyes?
And all I want to do is ride hot-air balloons
Or a bi-plane to get to you.
June please come back soon.
I need the warmth of the full moon
Why do you talk to me when you're too tired
To say that you're still in love with me?
And don't tell me how without me there you're happy
Or there's nothing else for me to breathe for.
And don't you know that you save my life
With every time that you blink your eyes?
And all I want to do is ride hot-air balloons
Or a bi-plane to get to you.
Lets fly our kite to the edge of the sky.
Pretend we're kids in love again.
Pretend that life is going to be ok when we know that it's not.
And I don't want to say that it's the truth.
But what else can I say without you here, June?

Forehead Kisses

I can calculate the time that I'll arrive at your doorstep. around 2 a.m.
And you'll tell me before I leave,
"Please stay safe and sound."
And I'll say "ok"
But whether I really want it that way is another story.
I want to give you the world
But I can't wrap my arms around it.
I want to give you the moon
But I can't stretch my arms to grab it.
And when I get there I can taste the cigarettes on your lips.
I start to say something but then don't bother with it.
And then you'll tell me before I go,
"Don't leave you should stay so we can both fall asleep tonight."
Yeah, we can both fall asleep tonight?
I want to give you the world
But I can't wrap my arms around it.
I want to give you the moon
But I can't stretch my arms to grab it.
No, I want to give you everything
But I can't possibly so why do I even dream of it?
(Even dream of us)
But at least I can give you forehead kisses when you need them.

Sun

In a past life we must have been the first two particles
That collided and threw up the Big Bang
And eventually by gravity formed the entire world with entropy
For the soul purpose of me staring into your eyes
And I know that sounds crazy,
But it's the only theory that I'll accept.
And I, I thought I was your sun.
And I, I thought you were my moon.
But I guess that was all just a joke on me.
The universe is ripping itself in two,
And it's all because of you.
I was standing on the roof of this building and staring into the sun.
So I would understand what's so fucking better at keeping you warm.
Cause I remember things that I once thought were dreams
But they were reality like your beauty.
And I, I thought I was your sun.
And I, I thought you were my moon.
But I guess it was all just a joke on me.
The universe is ripping itself in two,
And it's all because of you.
I'll just sing it low so you don't know.
I'll just sing it low so you don't know that it's the truth.
And I, I thought I was your sun.
And I, I thought you were my moon.
I fucking guess it was all just a joke on me.
And the universe is ripping itself in two,
And it's all because of you.

Little red balloon,
You probably think that no one knows just what you thought of
When she let go of you that Wednesday evening
When the storms were gathering
I wanna let you know that we're all toys in our own way
Some just don't know it yet
But I definitely know how you fucking felt
When the tension on your string was relieved
And you were left to drift off unwillingly into the sky
But not to the stars
And not to the moon
Into the cackling storm that sat mocking you
For being so, so fucking breakable; so fucking mortal
Little red balloon:
I still believe in you and what you were made for
To make someone smile
So here's the secret
I thought I'd keep it
But I'd rather spill my voice into these sound waves
That little red balloon was me
And the girl that let go was you two months ago.
I'll just it sing low so you won't know.
In time we all drift away.

Goodbye Space

Goodbye space and goodbye time.
I won't need you where I'm going.
Far beyond the glow of the brightest shining star.
I won't need light where I'm going.
And Moon these songs are only for you
From a Sun running dry on helium without you.
Goodbye day and goodbye night.
I won't need you where I'm going.
Far beyond the pull of gravity's plight.
I won't need it where I'm going.
And Moon this breath is only for you
From a Sun running dry on heat without you.
Remember I'm the Sun and you're the Moon in this one.
I'll sing low.
I'll sing low so you don't hear me.
I'll sing low so you don't need me.
I'll sing low so you don't hear me.
I'll sing low so you don't miss me.
So goodbye space and goodbye Moon,
I won't need you where I'm going.
