Home isn't open It's like, when you get there The tracks by the creek bed The minnow's the body Crawdads with their heads down low Back in the tall grass Stinging my cattails oh! Looking for brother It feels like winter But it's the heart of the summ

We're a long time In a low place Surrounded by what I've made Need to get away, get away from one place And what was done, 'cause it's all over now Through the woods I go run to the loose leaf And call my name And realize it's not a chase Hear the gh

And you can clean around the wound If you want to heal It just takes time And you can go to the moon But if you want something to change You gotta change your life And take your time It just takes time It just takes time It just takes time Hard work

Trusted, repeated Candor, uneven – in it's the will to find The right design The form belongs, to no one Holding truth Come see me through Come through the sea To share And bare The light inside of you Don't cast away, don't cast away Don't let them

a part of me you have a part of me you hold apart from me you stand and there's parts that you had stole littering in the cupboards like some pieces of the puzzle a nest just like a mother the dampness of your sweater it's never put together as i wat

Pensive and quiet Like forever was In a chrysalis, she waits for us And she takes from us Oh sweet life, why give and take from us? It's all for you It's all for truth Feels like I'm holding you down But you won't leave me alone And you're holding me

A loose, and hazy time When you were not my clementine And I was not you're diamond's eye. Bereft, as daisies lie For our love was lost in style You were strong, I was a child. We, we're not kings here. We're not kings here. We're just strangers. ---

I remember your smile The smell of your skin The way that you walked And laughed And I remember our room And coming home to you I remember our room And you ----- Look back Hold onto the last Don't let today push out the past You've gotta look back, l

Seasons change, and I tried hard just to soften you And seasons change, but I've grown tired of trying to change for you Because I've been waiting on you I've been waiting on you Because I've been waiting on you I've been waiting on you As it breaks,

Light House - Future Islands When I couldn't see you for the wall What was that you said? What was that you said, before you called? And when I couldn't catch you for the fall What was that you said? What was that you said? "Nothing hurts this much&q

I will walk you home, and i will leave you there I'll take the books you stole And leave the heart that bared--this soul I hope you have what you need (I hope the moon is listening) I hope you have what you need (I gave my soul, my body) I hope you h

I can't ask you now But if I could, I'd say the same I can't be the wound you wear to sleep, always I can't watch you dream Beside a fire You made to leave ----- But, if you let me be there, again If you let me be there, again If you let me be there,
