Risk It for You
04:00
|

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, 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

Little Heart Hurt
05:48
|
|||
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
