In Your Arms 03:30
listen to my heartbeat like a shell stolen from the beach. your legs rock like a rolling wave and your lips take away my speech. you're a deep breath, calm comes from sweet death. all i want to do is lay in your arms tonight. you let the time go, you make my skin flow. all i want to do is lay in your arms tonight. watch my skin turn violet while i melt into your space. you hold my head, you bring me back, you speak with easy grace. you're a deep breath, calm comes from sweet death. all i want to do is lay in your arms tonight. you let the time go, you make my skin flow. all i want to do is lay in your arms tonight. feeling bad, and i don't want you to tell me im good, and i don't want you to tell me im good. all i want to do is lay in your arms tonight. all i want to do is lay in your arms tonight. you're a deep breath, calm comes from sweet death. all i want to do is lay in your arms tonight. you let the time go, you make my skin flow. all i want to do is lay in your arms tonight.

Green Eyes 04:44
pillows pressed along my neck, a gentle kettle, suspended wreck. oh your green eyes, my hands to the sky. i lay where i die, we lay where i die. oh your green eyes, please whisper a lie. please take what is mine, please love me tonight. dampened hair below my breath, strawberry swirling, a docile death. oh your green eyes, my hands to the sky. i lay where i die, we lay where i die. oh your green eyes, please whisper a lie. please take what is mine, please love me tonight.

Ember 04:30
when i float by i hear your name on the water. and your voice pulls like a lamb to the slaughter. dancing ember, you're the heat of summer skin. floating flower, you're the light that filters in. and in the way that you move i feel the pull of the moon, i feel the sunset in june, do you feel it too? and in the sound of your voice i feel the static of storms, i feel the stars as they form, do you feel it too? when you flow through do you see me in the sand? bathing, waiting, am i the soft bank in your hands? glistening current, you can dance to barren air. flowing starlight, you can fade into the glare. and in the way that you move i feel the pull of the moon, i feel the sunset in june, do you feel it too? and in the sound of your voice i feel the static of storms, i feel the stars as they form, do you feel it too?

hit my line, you're on my mind, i'm always calling. pin me down, make me drown, im always crawling. was i just convenient enough? why'd you fix me if you never want to see me? why'd you fix me if you never want to see me? why'd you fix me than? why'd you fix me than? squeeze my hand, you understand it's never easy. pull me in, you don't pretend you ever needed me. was i just convenient enough? why'd you fix me if you never want to see me? why'd you fix me if you never want to see me? why'd you fix me than? why'd you fix me than? i wonder if you know that i miss you. have you noticed we don't talk? don't you see me when i walk by? i wonder if you know that i miss you. have you noticed we don't talk? don't you see me when i walk by?

Hearth 03:40
the place i lay my head, my weight upon your leg. say what's eating you. show me what to do. you are a reminder of something i can't remember, a hand on my chest and the air of september. the heat of just dried clothes, the way the brisk wind blows. there's autumn in your hair, i see you everywhere. you are a reminder of something i can't remember, a hand on my chest and the air of september. like lazing in the light, you disappear the night. i melt onto the hearth, i sink into the earth. show me peace, show me war. show me what i've been missing. show me peace, show me war. show me what i've been missing

When You Go 04:10
double rainbow, slipping on the sun. feeling like we did when life begun. feed me tea, uncurl my hair, change your name, i wouldn't care. just take me with you when you go, when you go. feed me plums and sit me by the light. i’ll take your shoes off, they never fit you right. feed me tea, uncurl my hair, change your name, i wouldn't care. just take me with you when you go, when you go. your hands, breaking from the earth. drops of dew, show me what i’m worth. your hands, breaking from the earth. drops of dew, show me what i’m worth. your hands, breaking from the earth. drops of dew, show me what i’m worth.

Pink Wine 03:06
flip me on my mouth and forget about me. she already knows how it goes without me. and while my knees turn to lead, she's on two feet inside my head. her chest, laid on mine. our arms, intertwined. my heart, changing in time. my heart, like pink wine. so, flip me on my spine and drag your finger down. if angels love to tease me i can't keep mine around. and while my mind floats astray, she’s liquid gold and there we lay. her chest, laid on mine. our arms, intertwined. my heart, like pink wine. my heart, like pink wine.

Like a Drug 04:15
oh i think about you still. yeah i just cant change my will. and i, i still need you. and i, i still want you. i just want to use you like a drug, blow you out and lose you when i'm done. pack you with my brain, burn you away, push you through my veins, make me ok. oh you, i might know how you feel. oh you, you just need something real. and i, i still need you. and i, i still want you. i just want to use you like a drug, blow you out and lose you when i'm done. pack you with my brain, burn you away, push you through my veins, make me ok. maybe i’m addicted to change but baby i don’t need you to change at all. maybe i’m addicted to change but baby i don’t need you to change at all. i just want to use you like a drug, blow you out and lose you when i'm done. pack you with my brain, burn you away, push you through my veins, make me ok.

maybe i need a love song just for you, a prayer of affirmation to push me through. maybe someday i'll have a place and you can come around, a thought that runs through my mind i cant keep it down. forever grace me with a slow dance. just lay your head right on my shoulder and sway. we’re getting older. don’t wait, i'm in your trance. a bottle of something pink that i had had in mind, a laugh that i'd kill to hear another time. our shoulders touch on the carpet in the dimmed down light. the sun bounces off your legs as it slips to night. forever grace me with a slow dance. just lay your head right on my shoulder and sway. we’re getting older. don’t wait, i'm in your trance.

Gently 03:33
i was lonely, you were something, something that i needed to hold to. i was longing and you were rescue, something to be bought and sold to. and if you plan to take me try to do it gently. you’ll be leaving, god knows im not staying but we don’t have to go in a hurry. i'm just running but you’ll find something, something that can feed your worry. and if you plan to take me try to do it gently. have you been waiting for me? have you been waiting for me? have you been waiting for me? have you been waiting for me? have you been waiting for me? have you been waiting for me? have you been waiting for me? have you been waiting for me?
