GEOGRAPHY

|
you are
breaking my heart
you are
so far away
you are
breaking my heart
would you walk with me
through a surplus of fire
for a chance to melt
& chase all the liars
you could love me
you could flee
we could overcome this
geography

OUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED
02:40
|
|||
|
my life’ll be shorter than yours
your life’ll be diamonds and pearls
you will be over me very soon
you won’t remember that afternoon
thank you my love
thank you for love
our days are numbered now
always remember how we were
those days, so beautiful
thank you my love
thank you for love
thank you my love
thank you for love

i cannot promise you a thing
i cannot put it in writing
what have you done to me?
but render yourself free
i want your happiness to breathe
it’ll be easier when you leave
i cannot make you laugh
you broke my heart in half
i cannot help you smile
what you want is in another life
i want your happiness to breathe
it’ll be easier when you leave

IN INJURY, MY LOVE
02:05
|
|||
|
your voice is ballets
and the ghosts we chase
your pretty face,
your pretty face
years will erase
in injury, my love
thoughtful and rough
not even your love
can save what we’ve failed
your pretty face
your pretty face
i’ll miss.
i will miss.
in injury, my love
thoughtful and rough
in injury, my love.

HEARTSTOP
02:04
|
|||
|
another place to make my heart stop
another face to make my jaws drop
another song to make your legs pop
we wrote those letters in the fall
we should have burned them all
another key that fits your private lock
trace a circle round with coloured chalk
another way you make my heart stop
we wrote those letters in the fall
we should have burnt them all

DEHYDRATE LOVE
02:34
|
|||
|
they make a circle around our bodies
so they know where to land
to welcome in the stars & melt our skin
they get inside “remembering”
please be gentle,
let her go, take me...
when they choose to love you
this love we’ll leave
our shapes confuse and scramble
containers to keep us in
you cannot pour me out
they cannot hear me
this spacecraft is so dizzy
the world below spinning, take me...
when they choose to love you
this love we’ll leave
they’ll dehydrate you to powder
and later a chowder
i’ll add water to bring you back to life
a wife this century, take me
if they choose to love you

SHE WAS LONG AGO
02:48
|
|||
|
she will make you weak
she will buckle your knees
she will make you feel
she is all you’ll ever need
and i was
long ago
and i was
she will make you a deal
she will make it a steal
she will take all you feel
she will make you real
and i was
long ago
and i was
i was whole
long ago
i was sold

FOLLOW YOU DOWN
02:40
|
|||
|
did you cry yourself to sleep,
baby?
there's no need to weep.
and i
will follow you down
and i
will follow you down
did they fall upon your cheek,
baby?
did you cry yourself to sleep?
and i
will follow you down
and i
will follow you down
and i
will follow you down
and i
will follow you down
|

10. |
||||
|
i will steal the stars for you
and put them in the skies of blue
i will shoot out the sun
so you can sleep away
so you can sleep today
i will move the moon out of harm
and colour in its glow with dark
i will shoot out the sun for you
so you can sleep away
so you can sleep today
|

||||
|
have you grown tired of me
in this galaxy
this space we gather in
we lack the hydrogen
i need
to help you breathe
one hundred and fifty-three
degrees
we float inside this space
you're the only pretty thing
the sun
is jealous of
she burns the atmosphere
i need
to help us breathe
the moon is not made
of cheese

on a long road
where?
20 days

smell the mountains
smell her hair
let her know that you won't
let her go.
everyday you try
to see her

A GIRL UNDERSEA
02:09
|
|||
|
i wish i could breathe
under the sea
so i can be with you
my baby blue.
i want to be in your eyes
i want to be in your mind
again.
can you hide me
in your heart?
i won’t make a sound
i won’t clog any arteries
i want to be in your eyes
i want to be in your mind again
can i be in your eyes?
you can be in mine.

i was looking at old photographs
there was a picture of me and you
it was sometime in the early spring
you were the only girl i knew
it’s been a long time since i held you
longer since we kissed
we used to talk and laugh alot
but now those days are missed
i’d like to come and see you
i heard you had a son
do his eyes shine like the ocean
and brighter than the sun
do you think of me, do you still care
or was i just a phase?
summer spent by deep blue lakes
on toasty summer days
if all the stars should shine tonight
i hope they shine on you
make a wish i’ll smile for you
and hope your wish comes true
smile for me just one more time
your face shines off the moon
say that you are beautiful
say i’ll see you soon

LADY SEA
02:08
|
|||
|
would i sail
the seven seas
to find you?
navigate
the oceans breeze
to feel you
once again
lady be
lady be
oversea
lady be
lady be
under me
would i break
the speed of sound
to hear you drown
would i go
underneath the sea
just to breathe
you
lady be
lady be
oversea
lady be
lady be
under me

you say that things are going to happen
in a world where love will take its toll
you say that you are feeling empty
so
i will let you break my heart
i will let you break my heart
you say that you need cheering on
i could maybe write a song for you
pretend it’s over from being your lover
don’t worry if your heart is weak
as
i will let you break my heart
i will let you break my heart
you want me to be just like him
i could do it on a whim
i’ll wear that hat
i will take it like that.

I WON'T ASK YOU TO STAY
02:33
|
|||
|
I think
you feel
you need
to leave now
i think
you know
you have
to go soon
there were
so many
times when we
were whole
those days
are gone
so long ago
goodbye
i promise i won’t ask you to stay
i’ll try hard not to remember you this way
i think
this has
played out
rather well
one more
day like this
is like
being in hell
i promise i won’t ask you to stay
i’ll try hard not to remember you this way

we used to create a heart
some call it love
some call it art
there was a time when you’d sparkle
now we collapse
we argue
i will not promise you
my love
i will erase you
from my heart.
we used to shape a place
out of metal, wood
& lace
we used to watch the sea
me & you,
you & me.
i will not promise you
my love
i will erase you
from my heart.

YOUR WINTER, MY SUMMER
02:31
|
|||
|
you watch me while i sleep
you said you need to know the last time
you'll see me.
i'll take a mental photo
knowing i'll never see you again
babe, unfurl your brow
there's no need for worry
it's over now
everything is different now
i can't understand the way you flow
in and out of leaving
the people that you touch, is too much
for me to take, it's fake
babe, unfurl your brow
there's no need for worry
it's over now
babe, unfurl your brow
there's no need for worry
|

it was a mystery then
your wrote your name on my arm in pen
i think it said madeleine
we were only ten
you angered
anytime i’d go.
anytime i go
the snow felt like sun
the warmth from your fingers
carving our names on a douglas fir
first mine, then hers...
you angered
everytime i’d go
everytime i go
& anytime i’d go
anytime i go

there is a colour for rain,
eskimo
swimsuits & orange juice.
place the shyness of waves
eskimo...
your nose
eskimo.
there is a colour in rain,
nine below
snowshoes & gummy chews,
bundle your body up warm,
eskimo...
your nose
eskimo.

RAINBELLS THEY CHOOSE
02:20
|
|||
|
i’ll stay with you
until the rainbells lose
and God keeps score
of the good and faith we’re testing
in others today
for that we were promised gold
baby it’s you
they choose
baby it’s you
i’ll stand with you
when skies open wider than
you’ve ever seen
the prettiest dream i’ve ever dreamed
baby it’s you
they choose
baby it’s you
i’ll stay with you
until the rainbells lose

And did you know that you are
The most beautiful thing?
And did you know that you are
Stars?
And did you know that you are
The most beautiful thing?
And did you know that you are
Stars?
And did you know that you are
The most beautiful thing
And did you know that you are....
