Each time
Each time I come around
There’s more and more heartbreak
Come home
It's getting close to midnight
My dear, it’s getting late
We promised to keep
This one for ourselves
Short lessons we need
To improve our health
The fence
The fence around is open,
I dream in vibrant colors
We wait
Most every night for moonlight
And a place to fall asleep
Oh lion heart
You carry us all
Breathe mercy on me
And my tired soul
I can’t help but think
Is this really you?
We learn to accept,
That's there is to do

I forgot how to breathe
On a cold winter night
The river was calling me
It goes to show
That even when the wind blows
There will be daybreak
The moonlight fades from underneath
A blanket soft, a warm embrace
Keep good company
And try to fall asleep
I never know
How to say goodbye and mean it
I never mean it
'Cause you were all that i could see
Late last night, I dreamt of you
The best of it
The rest of it
The off-white lies
The throw-aways,
I've let them slip away
A house ain't home,
You breathe it out
And then you let it all come in

The middle man what a miracle
Of common calculations,
Compressed and erratic
Hung out to fade like ribbons
Through wall-to-wall maybes
So I gave it my soul,
Got wasted sick and trashed it
It's midnight in this time zone
Awake and collecting little zingers
And future comedies
I feel my voice come back
On behalf of unfinished business
The lowered man what a spectacle,
A comic installation, repressed and dramatic
Fighting to find his fable
Through wall-to-wall static
Under an anime skyline
Calling cancer from the corner store
I showed her mine; she showed me hers
So we could shrug off the small shit
And breathe in the meantime
I wanted to dance with a daughter
Of a switchblade in the springtime
There are some people I don't want to let down
Bells to ring and friends to fling my arms around
Yes I know what's up must come down someday
please don't take the good parts away

Speak tenderly to me tonight
Cause I can’t find the words I used to sing
When little lungs filled up too easily
You tried to breathe them back for me
I don’t wanna be a burden
I just wanna feel the rain
Someday
Maybe someday could be today
I was never built for sympathy
Words they came and went, often damning me
Learning to walk again, slowly, on our own
Guided by the stars shining in your home
Lately been having trouble seeing straight at night
I blame the panicked memories of orange lights
You held me in your arms one night when I went wild
So when I think of you, it tends to be a smile
I can feel her warmth in me
I can hear her, always patiently
And I still love her everything
So now it’s time to go, off and running free
You were never a burden
Now please darling feel the rain
Everyday
But don’t let the sun hide from you today
