Is there something big you regret
And it’s eating up any life that is left
And you roam around trying to escape
The awful worm inside coursing through your veins
Nothing here to make a fuss
You’ve made it known that it is time
That close another door
That someone’s not enough
I have always thought so it must be true
In every case i’ve seen even you are proof
There is always one person who does love
Just a little more than the other
Nothing here to make a fuss
You’ve made it known that it is time
That close another door
That someone’s not enough
When you’ve had enough! Doodoodoodo
Now you’re convalescing from the injury
That happened last spring
And it drained you very quickly
And now you’ve had enough!

wild heart
03:58
|

I know I said that it doesn’t matter anymore
And i can’t take that back
Long night drawn out fights
And our pain is a curtain we draw at times
Your greed! (no my greed)
Your unkindness!
No my unkindness
Long live the wild heart, babe
Always groping for answers
Hungry for experience
Always touching the neighbour
God watches over us in disbelief
And i take your head with my hand
A ring of dancers form around the house
To surround us
and i pray that every door is shut
But in my heart i know
that any woman bound to enter, will
Long live the wild heart, babe
Always groping for answers
Hungry for experience
Always touching the neighbour

the party
02:55
|

Ditch the party in your beat up truck
You’re always leaving when the night starts
And the moon was a strange shade of green or orange
Was i wrong?
cause i couldn’t tell the difference at all
At all
Made a right turn for the freeway
Stood on the porch watching you get away
And that night was a pure shade of honest
Or something
Was i wrong?
Cause i couldn’t tell the difference at all
At all

So you want to dance alone now
You want to speak less
Somehow
You want your bed to yourself now
You want to breathe?
Well go ahead now
You want to take the step
As the first vow
You want to pick the fruit
Off of every branch now
You want to hold your head high
Dandle your heart around
You want to go stag
And leave town
Today is gonna be a good day
I heard you wanna die
Be confetti floating in the sky
Celebrate your life
And all that you’ve done right
Do you wanna dance?
With me just one last chance?
Walking down the deserted street and the street lamps are flickering and there’s something
pulling at your pant leg - you look down and there ain’t nothing there but that nagging always
clawing at your insides and sometimes your left * pant leg - you realize at that very moment you
just want to feel something - at that very moment, while you’re walking down that deserted
street, right then and there, it all dawns on you - i just want to feel something, it’s always you
For real now not pretend

just one, please

I was wondering, how much is this dove?
How much work?
How much work does it entail?
I’m looking for a pet
- An easy pet
Honey I do fine in the day time
The sun creeps through my window and i draw them wide
And i read all morning
And time goes swiftly by
Honey i do fine in the day time
The sun creeps through my window and i draw the blinds wide
And i read
All morning
-So i’ll take the dove, please
Just one dove

what makes me sad
03:22
|

What makes me sad is i can’t (--)
What makes you sad i don’t know
But if your eyes well up at the thought of it
Well that’s a sure way to know
But every moment i’m good
Is one you take and
Wring it out until it’s gone
We stared so hard at each other
We lost all sight of ourselves
And now I’m feeling vacant from myself
Give me your wild and taciturn eyes
So i can see the thick line you drew right over there
To divide me from you
Wring it out until it’s gone
What makes me sad is i can’t (--)
What makes you sad i don’t know, no no, no no nono
But if your eyes well up at the thought of it
Well that’s a sure way to know

the dancer
05:08

Some days i feel like dancing
Some days i don’t
Some days i just and watch
The sun dancing through my window
Some days i am a daisy
Dancing with the breeze
But some days i am the foot
that has to step on everything
Even on clear days your judgement is cloudy
Even on clear days you’re expecting thunder and rain
So does that make me the dancer
Dancing in and out of circles
The dancer
Dancing in and out of synch
The dancer
Dancing in and out love
The dancer
Dancing in and out life with you

takes you back again
and the wind is your song against my cheek
it may sound juvenile
but i can’t help wondering if i tricked you into loving me
and there was hesitation
always with the hesitation
caught in a stance between
stride and stillness
you always followed the sun
and i the moon
or have i misremembered?
either way
it all makes much more
sense now
it is true
that sunsets and storms
get all the attention
sun and moon are disparate things
and we fought for each one in turns
at different moments and in varying degrees
but soon, soon soon
I can be my own girl again
yanking the pearls off around my neck
they’ll say “look at her!”
walking in Parc Ex.
with a spring in her step

180 days
03:50
|
|||
I want the days to go by
Half a year to be precise
I want to spend all my time
Keeping track of cycles of moon in sky
Smash your head on the pavement
Just to feel near to something new
And with your cheek glued to gum
Feel let down cause nothing hurts quite as much as missing those days
Or howling the name
Or learning of a new love
180 days
That is how much time it may take
180 days
I want the days to hurry by
Without losing my mind
And go to a party
Fall in love with everyone that i meet
And the days will hurry by
Half a year to be precise
That is what i am told
Counting every moment
Till i’m six months older
And that much farther from standing still
but still dancing in circles
From challenging everyone and their mother
From being the worst kind of jealous love
And if you want it baby you’ll get it crazy
Enough with the madness (don’t speak of your sadness)
Your one saving grace is you’re clear as a vase
But if you think you might die well before you try
I’ll let you in on a secret, no matter the details
Of how it did start no matter how dark - you can’t

easy
04:03
|

When you go
Close the door
Leave the key so you can’t enter anymore
And I’ll take my head
Throw it back
Disassociate myself from all i’ve said
This is hard
Or am i wrong
We have been down this road
One hundred times before
With all of this
On again off again
All of this
On again off again
Cause it’s not easy
Now i’m bored
From all the talking
We have said these things so much they’ve lost all meaning
I’ll have you know that every moment
That was spent loving you i felt the equivalent
In difficult experience
All of this on again off again
It’s not easy
