I know I'm gonna lose you within six months Cause you told me about your shoes, and the wings And about the way you left LA And how is it you know the way to ask that'll make me spill it? Make me tell you that I feel this way Oh I try to keep you at arms length, but my hands are always reaching out to you I know I'm making this damn mistake, but I'll risk it for you I'll risk it for you I'll risk it for you I'll risk it for you I'll risk it for you Honey how you make it seem like falling faster's always better Despite everything we said Walking past the flags, they're not red, but they're the color of your eyes How can I really claim that I'm surprised I'll have earned it when you break me open Oh I try to keep you at arms length, but my hands are always reaching out to you I know I'm making this damn mistake, but I'll risk it for you I'll risk it for you I'll risk it for you I'll risk it for you I'll risk it for you My hand are always, hands are always reaching out My hand are always, hands are always reaching out My hand are always, hands are always reaching out My hand are always, hands are always reaching out I'll risk it for you I'll risk it for you I'll risk it for you I'll risk it for you

Portland 04:10
how was the ocean? did it change your life? how was it knowing you were gone by the time I arrived? go and meet Jimmy, meet him by the sea there's a secret to loving: never expecting much of anything was I just for fun? could I have been anyone? did you know I was on my way? and would you stay in Portland? there's a song that I wrote about you everyone seems to like when I wrote it I didn't doubt you now I try to forget what you did that night think you thought I was faking my stomachache there's an innocence taken when a friendship breaks was I just for fun? could I have been anyone? did you know I was on my way? and would you stay in Portland?

Carolyn 02:56
Carolyn, I know you're gonna love again Like I know the summer turns into the fall Lay your weary body down, get all of your secrets out When the ending's finished you know who to call We are all here waiting to lift you up We are all here waiting for you We are here for your laughter we are here for tears We'll be here in a moment, we'll be here for years We got your back on this one Carolyn Carolyn, you have climbed the highest hill You have listened to a quiet aching doubt You are stronger than I am You're stronger than the ocean When you're ready for it, give your friends a shout We are all here waiting to lift you up We are all here waiting for you We are here for your laughter we are here for tears We'll be here in a moment, we'll be here for years We got your back on this one Carolyn When you feel like you're the only one Body's shaking and your faith is gone Colorado or in New York We got your back on this one Carolyn We got your back on this one Carolyn We got your back on this one Carolyn

Oh but I always fall for the tiniest things Like your ribcage, and tattoos and freckles and friends in your room And the backs of your knees Tiny things that'll stay longer than you do Oh but I always cry for the tiniest things Like your hand as it falls on the small of the back of a girl who is something But nothing like me How I lose you But when you leave in the morning You kiss me on the face and I almost lose it But when you land in the evening You're already on your way and I start to lose it Nothing is broken Nothing won't open Not to sound crazy but I do I'm a little heart hurt over you Little heart hurt Wilderness wasn't her haunt It just wasn't her scene But she went anyways Like a child who will follow a mother She followed you under your wing So halfhearted Something you don't really notice Is the logic of a place of losing a lover Something you try not to notice Is the freedom on their face as you lose one another Nothing is broken Nothing won't open Not to sound crazy but I do I'm a little heart hurt over you Little heart hurt Oh but I always love in the tiniest ways Ways to tell you that it's not just the days when it suits me But also the ones when I'm scared beyond reason Nothing will prove that in loving you got what you put in But how does it matter? No one arrives to inform you that you're old enough to win A love that won't shatter Nothing is broken Nothing won't open Not to sound crazy but I do I'm a little heart hurt over you Little heart hurt

Wait for Me 04:39
What if I needed a year to be on my own, drowning in blankets and tea? What if I needed a decade to reconcile, to give up, to recompile—oh, honey—would you wait for me? Cause I've been thinking about you since the moment I saw you Been thinking about you for so long I've been paying my dues I've been paying them forward I've paid everything that I owe Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me, wait for me, wait for me Every word I tell you feels just like a wedding vow Cause you are the only I see Everything you ask me is too much and too soon It's too much for someone like me Cause I've been thinking about you since the moment I saw you Been thinking about you for so long I've been paying my dues I've been paying them forward I've paid everything that I owe Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me, wait for me, wait for me Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me, wait for me, wait for me

Leaving Town 06:43
Now that I'm leaving town I'm feeling so defiant Chasing my dreams around like it's unusual To say what you want and go When you learn that the answer's "no" And it always has been I only feel at home when I can smell the trees And never gonna feel grown without a garden, honey Somehow I lost my way, but I stuck around anyways cause I love to see your face I wasn't crazy cause I stayed with you It doesn't have too much to do with you I wasn't crazy, I was growing up Filling up my cup Don't regret too much I'm still keeping up, I'm still growing up I always had a plan, whole lot of good that did me Never gonna understand until you lived it, honey What have you got to lose? You're always gonna need new shoes in a couple years or so I wasn't crazy cause I stayed with you It doesn't have too much to do with you I wasn't crazy, I was growing up Filling up my cup Don't regret too much I'm still keeping up, I'm still growing up There was a time when I regretted staying so long When I always knew that for each other we were so wrong Now I know that I loved you in my own way I hope you love it in LA I wasn't crazy cause I stayed with you It doesn't have too much to do with you I wasn't crazy, I was growing up Filling up my cup Don't regret too much I'm still keeping up I wasn't crazy cause I stayed with you It doesn't have too much to do with you I wasn't crazy, I was growing up Filling up my cup Don't regret too much I'm still keeping up, I'm still growing up -- This is a place where grapevines wind around signposts sometimes And mulberry trees grow on the side of the street Trust me, I've seen them I picked some and made an olive oil cake one time, and it was sublime I just saw ten wild turkeys cross the street with their mom She's checking for cars But every mom still leaves scars Trust me, I've seen them But I've also seen them healing in time, we got plenty of time I tried so hard to write a song But all it took was to take a walk without my airpods on When I start it feels so literal But later I will find Later I will find Later I will find The poem in this place
