Kite 03:28
Bright grey sunrise, nearly white Steal my breath and weigh me light Questions of the time it takes to fall in love I mean, I mean, the time it takes to lose it all And they say, Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby You keep on stomping through the ground And, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey I see you, you are on your way down But, lose my head, your hands and mouth Spit slick lips, a moving sound Light is a force until it's gone Darkness in my heart, so strong And they say, Baby, baby, baby, baby I am just trying to help And, honey, honey, honey, shhhh You know you can't do this by yourself Lose me No, don't lose me now Wobble feet, make mistakes But, don't let me down And this peaceful pulling to the ground Is a way, but couldn't we fly? Don't our feathers splay? Blood red sunset, clouds so ripe And all the power of an empty sky Come on cut the string, you're a straining kite Oh, and crashing, darling, is just part of the flight So you can lose me Oh, but, don't lose me now Skip a beat, make mistakes But don't let me drown And this peaceful, dark pulling to the ground Is a way, but we could fly My wings are raised Oh, and how long does it take to fall in love? Just the time it takes to lose it all

She knocks on my door She just wants to hang And never asks more She knows where I've been Don't care what's she'll be Babe, you know I don't talk And you get what you see Now, step into the light Let me see your face You course at me like a river Your hands to my waist Let me take your coat Would you like a seat? I guess the night is looking young I've got nowhere to be Sure, shake out your hair, I never mind Hold me tight, but what are you looking to find? Child, you're too young to know But, the harder you hold, the faster they make you let go So, I'll hold you light, if you want that tonight It's been a long and winding road You don't look like you're ready to go Move on in Nestle up Take a warm sip from this cup There's no rush You're so sweet The darkness is soft Your breath the heat Oh, now, Girl Your eyes so wide Your hands on my chest Slip down to my sides That whiskey scent We pulled in here Feel it in your arms It's gonna fill up our ears Then, you step close, trip over your shoes I can tell you've been learning what it's like to lose Child, you're too young to know But, the harder you hold, the faster they make you let go So, I'll hold you light, if you'd want that tonight It's been a long and winding road You look like you might want to know And I could never Turn her away She never asks Already sure she can stay Here tonight You feel so right My little tempest in a teapot Look the storm in the eye And she'll fly Out the window to dawn Never wakes me for a kiss Before she is gone And that's alright I just bid her good flight She always seems to come back around When she feels like taking my time And that's fine, no, I never mind Storm Cloud Baby, let's make thunder tonight Child, you're too young to know But the harder you hold, the faster they make you let go So, I'll hold you light, if you want that tonight It's been a long and winding road You look like you already know So, baby, fly in here I am not one to land I am not one to force Rivers into my hand Go on and ride your wave To the top of the crest You find you never crash down If you have nothing left They could want Child, you're too young to know But, don't hold on too tight, they just make you let go So, I'll hold you light, would you let me tonight? Oh, babe, this ain't about your soul I think you already know

Honey 04:30
Honey's dripping from a watch face, ticking off against my lips A first time for everything is embodied in her hips Out pockets empty out of seconds before we know they've left Kiss me just a little, I want to taste the calculations on your breath Two silver summer moons, a graduation into bloom The sounds we utter ache like gravity holding off impending flight And sailing through the noise, wave to wave, joy of joys She is washing through the spaces I'm denying in the light And I won't fight City bright You want to dance? I'm whiskey white Every heart beat takes a minute, swiping years off of our lives She'd give them all away for anything to speed the pairing knife Strike away all brittle pieces that prick sharp in the night We needed them at some point - she can't remember, but I've tried And the clock strikes dry All puddled time Stretching sweet above our heads And laughing at our "Why?'s" Don't fight Glitter night You want to dance? I'm whiskey white Morning sunbeam caught in curtain falls too short and hits no skin Older in a nighttime, underneath, and deeper in Do you think it's where we wander, or who we keep along the flight Or how her hands lay while she's sleeping that's measured when we die? I'm out of fight Name the height How do we last So whiskey white? You want to dance? I'm whiskey white

Runaway 03:37
I wish you'd have run away with me Uproot this sapling of a Poison Tree And get us some Western sun for our cheeks I wish you'd have run away with me We'd look out the window on a back wooden porch That would splinter sometimes in our feet See all the things we've never seen before Oh, I wish you'd have run away with me Right now, we could be racing through bright sky With amber waves, blowing free Oh, and purple mountains, upside-down in your eyes I wish you'd have run away with me 'Cause I tried to hold you, engulf you in love But, darling, you're made of boundaries So many fences I tried to jump And you never once followed me Well, it's hard to be idle and just bide my time When a future's so painfully in reach If you'd only let me give you my all And trust, run away with me I wish you'd have run away with me Uproot this sapling of a Poison Tree And get us some Western sun for our cheeks Yeah, I wish you'd have run away with me I tried to hold you, engulf you in love But, darling, you're made of boundaries So many fences I tried to jump And, hey, you never once followed me Yeah, tried to hold you, engulf you in love But, darling, you're made of boundaries If you'd only let me give you my all And trust, run away with me Run away with me Yeah, You could have run away with me Oh, I wish you'd have Yeah, you could have Oh, I wish you'd have run away with me
