And now I’m watching
Mini little waves crash
They carry on
For forever on the shore
And there are others,
A few others like me
I don’t want to be
To be the man I was before
Confused, and jaded, and standing on the porch
Confused, and faded
It’s the middle of the night again
I’m watching rain fall on the water
It carries the ashes of life again
So that it all starts over, all starts over
This sand is scattered
With painted little lake stones
A plank of wood
Is fastened like a grave
This is beginning
Beginning and the end to me
It’s getting colder and
The starlight can’t be saved
Impressed and happy and becoming enraged
Impressed and happy
I could die here
If not for the out-of-place condos
I will write home again
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

I put my hands up to your face
And your skull begins to glow
Rippling light and diamond lakes
I can read you now I know
Please be calm
We have very little time together
In a moment
Everything could be settled settler
Open your eyes
Unwrap the blanket
It twirls like a skirt
With a rush of heat
(I have this one chance to put this love in you)
Open your eyes
Unwrap the blanket
I know you were hurt
But you’re safe with me
(I have to make sense of what I found in you)
I don’t speak the way you speak
Little sparks and shockwaves
That’s how you alert the beasts
Too late anyway
I’ll protect you
You’ve been afraid and I know what about
From now on
Their blows will simply cancel, cancel out
Our bodies can’t take much more
We’ll try again when the system is restored
The connection was over driven
We have to cool off and come back later

It’s so cool out in the mist
The sky is grey from beginning to end
Swing around the light house this
Makes us feel like kids again
You can warm yourself
From the inside now
You’re getting used
To the cold somehow
I’m proud of you
We take a detour
Try something new
We do, we do, we do
No we’ll never give up
Not like the rest of them
We’re looking for each other
All over again
Making new love
As long as we can
Until we are a mockery
Hands up in your wild hair
It’s confused but in a natural way
You’re cheeks burn red against the air
The origin is far away
You can warm yourself
From the inside now
You’re getting used
To the cold somehow
I’m proud of you
We take a detour
Try something new
We do, we do, we do
Walk with me to the farthest point
Just walk with me for a few hours
Right out into the headwind dear
We both smell like a healthy fire
