She’s a sweetheart
Don’t I know it
And I know she thinks about me when I’m not near
For the most part
On a weeknight
With our claws out
I can open up my soul
Without a word
In a new place
Temporary
We can leave ourselves behind
Maybe let in something new
Ampersand
When we’re tired, we can sleep
If it’s quiet, we can shout
If you’re tired, we can sleep
When it’s quiet, i will shout
Ampersand
She's a sweetheart
Don't I know it
She's a sweetheart
For the most part

Cold Hard Batch

It’s a cold, hard batch of something I don’t want
Secretly staring through mosquito nets
I am fascinated
By the way you turn the page
And you never even itch
Mask on
Hat off
Curl up, pussycat
I’ll sleep on your doorstep
Until you feel my presence
I’ll leave you to your dreams
Until you feel my absence
It’s a cold, hard batch of something I don’t want
Barely breathing but the breath is there
I am only, truly
As strong as my weakest hours
I will not go down like this
Mask on
Hair down
Stay safe, sweetness
I’ll sleep on your doorstep
Until you feel my presence
I’ll leave you to your dreams
Until you feel my absence

I’ve heard there’s ages of
Material left to come across
My mother’s so stubborn she won’t entertain
Even the thought of getting sick
Here we are trapped inside
A teenager’s bedroom
At least we have each other
At least we’re in our thirties
Can we still be teenagers into our thirties?
We swept each other off
Each other’s feet and back to bed
Under the covers where I only save you
The sweetest things
Feels just like it was when we was just
A couple idiot kids
Kiss me, I’m not nor have I ever been
The frog prince stands in front of you
Can we still be teenagers into our thirties?
Can we still be teenage sweethearts well into our thirties ?

It’s not your fault
You’re just born that way
It’s not your fault
You’re so dumb
You’re just born that way
And i’m not sure i’m feeling anxious
Or just slightly sad
That I let you down that path
No, no, no
There might be more at play
It’s not your fault
You’re just born that way
It’s nosebleeds in the playground
Once the kids start fighting back
At this point, only slightly sad

We've Arrived

One week without you
Is the hardest week of my life
I need you more now
Than anyone else alive
This babe’s not broken
He’s got a lot of love
And i know my lot in love
And it’s you, babe
Finally we’ve arrived where we started
I am still young
And I am arrived
You are my genius
I've seen the light
I am a young man
And I have arrived
You are a genius
And I am the light
Finally we’ve arrived where we started
Finally we've arrived, only better this time

I hope you're healthy
I hope you're well
Blessed be those who bless themselves
Just not the evil ones

This is not the worst place I’ve been
We aimed for knowledge
We hoped learn something, I think
We mostly found about ourselves
The things we dislike in others
A meek man can still be an asshole
Cue john williams score...
This is not the worst place I’ve been
This is not the worst place we’ve been
You only risk as much
As you lay on the line for the commonwealth
A poem a day, on a bridge, set ablaze
In a place we felt trapped to begin with
But this is certainly not at all the worst place we will see
No no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, this is not the worst place
This is not the worst place we’ve been

I wake you up
I get you dressed
You pay the bills
I beat my chest
A whole nation cheers
We tip our hats
You and me, babe
We mostly cheer for cats
Floods start and stop
Sea swells and ships hit the dock
You know the drill
You pay the bills
Floods start and stop
Clearly sailors we are not

I Am Almost Awake

I am almost awake
I can feel your soul in this state
I am almost awake
I can reach out and touch your mistakes
Barely opened my eyes
I can see that the moon has not shed its disguise
I am almost awake
yeah

At least we’ll remember this
At least we’ll remember this
Some kind of dream for us
I know you can’t measure it
Rough coast to babysit
At least we’ll remember this
The pine trees and salt seas at first
I knew you were over it
The first cries from big baby lips
At least we’ll remember this

Changing your mind is not a crime
Ask for your coat back, because it’s cold outside
Islands, will they be there in 10 years time
Not worth drowning ourselves to see another low tide
The system is failing, the system has failed
We could hold on to this, we might remember it
The system is failing, the system has failed
Get us home before they lock us in
It could be worse, it can always get worse
Fearless protestors doth protest their lives
If we give ‘em what they want, a place in the dirt
They’ve got rifles, we’ve barely got n95’s
Waking up is hard to do
Changing hemispheres is near impossible now
And catching up is hard to do
I’m starting to wax nostalgic bi-hourly now
Because..
The system is failing, the system has failed
We could hold on to this, we might remember it
The system is failing, the system has failed
Get us home before they lock us in
