Grow Again

I'm sorry I ain't texted you
I left my phone up on the moon
I need to stat to learn some follow through
Well I promise that I'll call real soon
Though honestly I'm nervous to
I'm frightened by what I can't hide
From you
'Sides there isn't really much to say
Just that I'm finding it hard to wanna shower these days
I'm trying to learn how to cry without getting high
I want the trees to turn green again
Well, April's just been bringing May her flowers
And I am standing in the rain to catch her powers
I'm longing for that daffodil-ness
That springs forth from stillness
I wanna groove like the tulips do
And follow the sun
When will my snow fed tears come blossoming?
When will I thaw out like the ground beneath my feet?
When will I grow again?
Well the truth is on my worst days
I wish I could evaporate,
Be spirited away by the sun
The way a droplet leaves the ocean
Without anybody noticin'
Only to return where I come from
"What's up?" you'll ask,
"Not much," I'll say,
'Cause nothing has happened, but everything's changed
I learned how to fly,
I got lost in the sky,
Now I'm finding my feet again
And I'm still longing for that daffodil-ness
That springs forth from stillness
I wanna groove like the tulips do
And follow the sun
When will my snow fed tears come blossoming?
When will I thaw out like the ground beneath my feet?
When will I grow again?

Hands Off the Wheel

At night I grind my teeth
In the day I forget to breathe
To you, I'd like to be near
But my thoughts are far from here
And where they go,
I follow
It's hands off the wheel
It's foot on the gas, full speed ahead
There go my thoughts again
My heart's racing now
Who cut the breaks inside my head?
I'm spinning fast, stuck sputtering
Sorry, what's that you said?
I was busy telling stories in my head
'Scuse me, I'm just squeezing through
I didn't mean to spill myself on you
It's hands off the wheel
It's foot on the gas, full speed ahead
There go my thoughts again
My heart's racing now
Who cut the breaks inside my head?
I'm spinning fast, stuck sputtering
"Come home," my body calls to me
"Let go of what you're holding
There are things you cannot control,
Like a hiccup on the road,
And where I go, you follow"
It's hands off the wheel
It's foot on the gas, full speed ahead
There go my thoughts again
My heart's racing now
Who cut the breaks inside my head?
I'm spinning fast, stuck sputtering

The world is getting hotter
It's because of you and me
And my love for you is rising
Like the levels of the sea
It's an inevitability, you're dying here with me
So why deny the climate of our love?
You've tried before to throw our love away
Buried it below til you ran out of space
Sent it up in smoke til it came down from above
Raining acid, burning love
The world is getting harder
But it doesn't have to be
You could admit it's all on fire
And confess to loving me
This world is surely ending soon,
Our love is certainly something true
So why deny the climate of our love?
As plastic fills the ocean, you and I could run away
To a perfect island paradise that never will decay
Don't worry 'bout specifics,
It's there in the pacific
Waiting and growing everyday
What do you say?
The world is getting harder
But it doesn't have to be
You could admit it's all on fire
And confess to loving me
This world is surely ending soon,
Our love is certainly something true
So why deny the climate of our love?
Why deny the climate of our love?

When Spring Comes Again

You and me were never meant to be
We blossomed too early for spring
Our season came and went
Our potential spent
On petals that fell to the floor
The winters are cold in Chicago
With nothing but weather to blame
It's hard to predict the change of the wind
Or where we will blow next
You and me were never meant to be
We blossomed too early for spring
But as seasons come and go
My love for you grows
So I'll see you when spring comes again
Yes, I'll see you when spring comes again
