Releasing You With Love

Releasing you with love
I helped you pack your car, I let you break my heart
because I fell so in love with you when I was 22
now I'm 26 and have to remember it
If I'm to release you with love
I remember I held your chin
after I kept you up all night on a freezing fishing trip
you fell asleep in the car and your neck went limp
Releasing you with love
I watched you become a stranger right in front of my eyes
on a cold December night
A cave inside my heart developed at the drop of your eyes
I hyperventilated for the first time
I didn't know I could break again, like when I was a kid
and got left for someone else for the first time
fuck you for what you did
but it doesn't change the life that we lived
reality is in control
Releasing you with love
and I still love you and carry you around
but I release you from me with love

Beach is for Grief
02:30
|

The beach is for grief when you're grieving
my lost love stretching out by the sea
she becomes a celestial body right in front of me
the beach is for grief when you're grieving
It's so silly-weird talking to new folks
so many times in my mind I'm a cowpoke
tried on the boots before I left
looking at me you'd never know it
I wanna meet the love of my life before I die
I wanna love the love that I receive
no one better be begging on no knees
in the sun making love with your skin
I want to want to miss you again
I wanna meet the love of my life before I die

Crooked Tree / Alive To Be / Living
Each day moving to the sun
if we could change our hearts they wouldn't be ours
you're a wave receding, you were once a heavy surf
with blonde hair in the liquor store
Crooked Tree / Alive To Be / Living
I will carry around all of our love
gravitation hearts and times that I fucked up
I'll learn from this though it is hard to do
I must remember the love I had for you
accept the bittersweet and things that we achieved
I want to be a lightning bug that for a moment flashes with wisdom
Crooked Tree / Alive To Be / Living
I'm getting used to the inside of my head
embrace the loneliness that I allow in bed
in the kava bar, my nature is my own
I'm here now and later I'll be gone
"The only place I have to be is away from you"
is a thought I had feeling sorry on the stoop
but I must be in stead like a web
our feet will tumble on the same ground again
I saw the future containing you and me
living separate lives still in harmony
Crooked Tree / Alive To Be / Living

Apples
02:04
|
|||
I'm a spring at the springs
asking just to be and just to be is enough
I know apples are for eating and snakes are for deceiving
and water is for change
no matter how beautiful your dumpster fire
there will always be water in your eyes
but once things've settled
there ain't no shame in sifting through ashes
in what remains you may find a light
I'm a subject of suffering, so are you
I'm a subject of uncertainty, so are you
yeah I know this pain is not my own
it's a fog that in time visits all
but in the meantime kill your limerence, kill your indifference
everyone heal yourself right now

Whole Foods Moon
02:19
|

"You crossed the river but she burned down the kayak"
I know
"You hiked through feet of snow with no jacket"
I know
"She didn't abandon you, she left you a lantern unlit"
I know, I'm holding onto it
"You reached the summit but it was the wrong mountain"
I know, I'm beholding it
"Do you miss the way she killed loneliness?"
I do
"Formlessness is taking shape when you're standing in the kitchen"
I know, doing dishes is a black night affair
"Oh huge moon shining in the Whole Foods"
You shine light on her absence, you do

Loved On Earth
04:49
|
|||
I still remember all the small things
that you'd do for me when you showed me love
before things got so fucked up
You'd ride your board around town for groceries
creating love scenes on the balcony
coming home to two full wine glasses
then helping me dry out
you made me art, I was so lucky
Oh to be loved on Earth
you'd kiss me and you'd hold me gently
Oh to be loved on Earth
you'd capture me inside your drawings
Oh to be loved on Earth
You stayed with me while I was in grief
when my friend got killed by his heart
you pulled the car off of the road
and Let me sob as it sunk in
everything then burned with meaning
much like it is doing now
radiance and loss prevailing
Oh to be loved on Earth
you gave me love when I was sleeping
Oh to be loved on Earth
and now I learn how to grieve the living
Oh to be loved on Earth

Emptiness In
03:44
|
|||
Let some emptiness In
I'm remembering it, you don't own anything
I was borrowing you from the universe
in the black Nissan the moon shines
in the Jacksonville pond, in the still of night
the fish saw love
Kill your scarecrows

Growing Pains
02:45
|
|||
See me misunderstanding
questioning the sky again like before I was 20
in the pockets of small town fog
we drank until we forgot
but woke up as ourselves
now 7 years later I can see it didn't help
now I'm getting sober in the sun
not knowing what you have or haven't done
or what you've been up to
all I know is mostly gone
familiar torrents every dawn
drying out until I belong
see me misunderstanding, holding my hand to the sun
(in your absence, I'm feeling growing pains)

You've Been
03:58
|
|||
You know I wish these songs didn't exist
I wish we could go back
deleting pictures that I too lived
I don't want to forget
I don't want to forgive
In the constellation of moments spent
through the fog I see so much love
and I don't want to give it up
I'll not forget your laugh
I'll not forget your smile
I'll not forget your dance moves
I'll not forget you
In the constellation of moments spent
through the fog I see so much love
we said we'd be friends if it ever blew up
well I don't know where you are
and I don't know where you're going
but I know that you've been
In the constellation of moments spent
through the fog I see so much love
and I don't want to give it up
I don't want to have to release you with love

Drivin' through hayfields, this time alone
the sun keeps on risin', I keep livin' at home
Praise Health
No room for bitterness in my tired heart
no room for alcohol at the back of my bar
Praise Health
Thought I only had
so much love for givin' but that just ain't true
as long as I'm livin' I'll have some old love for you
Praise Health
Drivin' through hayfields
and isn't that what it is?
The mountain inside you is just a distance.
Praise Health.
