Morning Dew
I thought things were right,
they were tied, they were nice,
and questioned ground was not a path
we would take anytime.
Maybe the light, or the night,
or the four glasses of wine got me thinking,
“How else could we get by?”
What if we had something there?
We could hold each other without fearing stares.
And You could tell all the girls You hang out with,
and I could write a song about it.
I’d constantly have my hand in yours,
You would smile and squeeze it when You felt it there.
We would lay under the stars Together,
Our foreheads touching, You’d make it better.
So hold the corners of my shirt,
let me take Your Eyes into my Heart.
There’s no median now,
and there’s no one around.
It will be fast and last forever,
it will make You believe in “never say never.”
This is Beautiful,
[bridge of the extended version, played live with Zach's piano accompaniment]
But you’ve become detrimental,
and you’ve become hypocritical,
and I have never hated anyone but you.
So leave me,
and cry yourself to sleep,
but don’t expect that I care,
‘cause I don’t care, no, I don’t care.
And when your casket rolls by,
don’t expect me to be there,
‘cause I won’t be there, no, I won’t be there.
And with nothing left to be said, I guess we can end up with “how?”
let me Kiss You now.

Blisters Over Calluses
Leaving,
underestimating my capacity for heartbreak.
You’re blurry,
You’ll soon be far away and I will have nothing to say.
Inside my dark room,
I can’t help but think of You
holding my body in Your arms,
taking a tear and making it ours.
It’s hitting me all at once,
I didn’t expect it to be this bad.
I can’t find the words to say
and now it looks like I’ll never get the chance.

Smile for me again.
Smile that Gorgeous Smile.
All the boys say
that it makes them freeze,
but I melt.
And You’re so magnetic,
and I’m so metallic.
And I wish for once You’d see,
how Happy You’d be with me.
Constantly nervous, bleeding, and introspective,
“What could she see in me?
She's Beautiful and Flawless in every way,
and I’m just a boy who thinks about these things."
You are everything, You’re contagious,
(I'm so inclined)
I am addicted, I need Your Kiss.
(to be heard)
Undermine your reservations
(but I can't see)
and come with me, no limitations tonight.
(and I can't say a word)
And I need Your Warming Light.
