Keep Your Silver Shined

Good morning, love
Oh I tried so not to wake you
But this day and I- still as we seem- we mean to take you
Your hand is soft at my side
Hips rise to meet you
What would we do just to keep you?
Keep your silver shined, Keep your coffee warm
Keep your orange eyes kind, Keep your black sunglasses on
Keep your handshake hard, keep your breathing deep
Keep on dragging me down, keep on catching my breath, my beat
Now I know- now I know that I
Am glass boned and porcelain eyed
But the weight of this waking life
Is heavy on my mind
‘Cause I wanna be closer
I wanna read you over and over Just to get you right
Mouthing you silently by this light
What'd I do, you know I would
Keep your love green glass, keep your knuckles white
Keep my shoulders bare, keep your hands blue light
Keep your cotton soft, keep your rumble low
Keep you dreaming feet kicking, keep your waking slow
Keep your body bent so, lower your resistance
Let me learn the curve of you but only at a distance
Build your mountains higher love carve that river wide,
Or I’ll find forever running at your side
Hold me as a garden fence would hold its roots and vines
Let me learn the curve of you but only over time
Build your mountains higher love, carve that river wide
I don’t want to find forever at your side

Frame

Leaning from the corner
Of a dog-eared, yellowed page
Staring at your ghost, I know
It's all that I can take
And I know it's coming back again
Over time, and under some old weight
But I feel it in my bones, it's colder
Like the door you frame
Reeling in the hollow air
That followed me in June
Feeling how it'd break
I tried to take it all too soon
And I know it's coming back again
Over time, and under some old weight
But I feel it in my bones, it's colder
Like the door you frame
So kiss me, I've been lost in ties that bind
I'll never let it end in memory or mind
You're sifted in time - I drift to the bottom
Where you'll stay
Leaning from the corner
Of a dog-eared, yellowed page
Staring at your ghost, I know
It's all that I can take
And I know it's coming back again
Over time, and under some old weight
But I feel it in my bones, it's colder
Like the door you frame

Little Things
03:57

She’s walking down the fire escape;
She’s so light, she’s the tiniest leaf
And he’s at the bottom waiting to say “Love, we’re late” It’s the way she sings.
Meanwhile I’m cleaning out the drawers, Wondering if it’s “Love” that’s breeding
Twist ties and fruit stickers, silent ritual killers It’s these little things
Sand in our pockets
It’s stones in our shoes
It’s coffee and bread crumbs, and Trying not to wake you- wake you
It’s been a year, and I’ve arranged myself Into piles and wooden frames
Wishing for a moment free,
A moment so easy as the spring
Lifting my hands off handle bars,
Waiting for the fear, the catch, the scars
I know it’s coming on, proof my grace is gone; It’s these little things.
We’re already buried,
We noticed them to late
It’s creaks in the floorboards, and Chips in the paint, chips in the paint
What’s to become of us?
The word, the heart, the ring?
No memory of all these little things?
It's squeezing from the bottom
Wasting all our time
winning eery battle by saying "never mind"
Oh, never mind
Never mind these little things
