The Only One

Somebody told you
You are the only one
Rare like a morning sun
This late this late at night
I never told you
I feel like the only one
Vespertine in your light
Cause no one like the darkness when it comes
You wanted better, better, better, better from me now
Could I be better better better better for you somehow
I never wanted
Anything more than this
And you told me I could lay my hand upon it
Then you ran away with it
You’ll say I’m better, better, better, better for it now
Could I feel better better better better for you somehow
Ooooooh
I never showed you
I know the quiet hum
That moves you when you run into your dreams at night
But it’s not better when you leave it all behind you
It’s not good before it’s done
You may find yourself there between the nothing
Now you are the only one

September

I wanted to call you my love
You seemed right in this time of year, golden light falling from above
But I couldn’t call it anything, I couldn’t call you anything at all
So I called it September, and I called it a draw
Fall doesn’t feel like a new year anymore, but I still feel like a child
I just wanted to move you
And I learned to live from a feeling inside
Before I thought that I, thought that I had to prove it to you
With five turns of the moon, yeah the light finds its way back again
But something in September looks back on the way things have been
Turn away now, when the walls are coming down
Turn away now, when the walls are coming down
Turn away now, when the walls are coming down
Cause I, I just wanted to call you my love
You seemed right in this time of year, golden light falling from above
But I couldn’t call it anything, I couldn’t call you anything at all
So I called it September, and I called it a draw

Projector

You’re a projector, make believe makes us the same
You’re a pretender, telling me it’s all ok
Careful who you love, careful who you love now
Careful who you trust, careful who you let down
You’re a defender, push until you pull away
Scared if you’d let her, she might take what’s yours away
You’re throwing shade, You’re taking your own breath away
We’re not the same, you’ve got a lot to prove, not much to say
Ooooh
Oooooh
You’re a professor, teaching me about the way
Making a mess of the things you feel for what you say
You can’t go back, honey what you think of that
Take what you have when you don’t have another plan
Oooh
Ooooh
You’ve got a big bad something coming up on you
And you’ve gotta face it when you can’t fake it anymore
You’ve got the whole wide world, but you want something new
So you go and chase it
Honey what’d you do you do that for
Oooooh
Ooooooh

As It Seems

You loved me better in the wintertime
When words came falling out on paper white
Now hearts are heavy in the morning hour, with a feeling I should have known better by now
Put your things down honey, one by one
Still undecided with a mind to run
And hidden there amongst the love was doubt, was a feeling you should have it all figured out
But honey I am as you think I am
A makeshift lover there among your plans and
You may never recognize or see what that does to me, what you done to me
Tell me what is worth your turning back
Looking far beyond the things you have
Am I your lover or a stepping stone
I still feel alone, I still feel alone when
I can be only as you think I am
A makeshift lover living in your plans and
You may never recognize or see that’s the change in me
That’s the change you see
I am gentle, you could not see that
You put those walls up with your own two hands
But I took mine down, didn’t care what you’d done
Hoping in your eyes, I would be someone
And there I found the creature that you think I am
Just picking up the pieces of a self-made man
So go ahead a live your life within your dreams
Nothing’s as it seems
Nothing’s as it seems
Nothing’s as it seems
Nothing’s as it seems
Nothing’s as it seems
Nothing’s as it seems
Nothing’s as it seems
Nothing’s as it seems

East & South

Here I go again, planning my days around a ghost
When you’re the one I love the most and I don’t know why
And I believe my eyes and ears, but I still want you near me
Though I don’t know how, I don’t know how
Though time and space are fickle things, I can’t help but sit and think about them
So here we go again, throwing our hands up in the air
When this world demands our care, but we don’t know how or why
Fighting the good fight is always a hard time
Can you get me out of here, my love
It’s a little loud in here, my love
Headed east and south to Panama
Looking for the moment we were god
Running from the moment I forgot
