Laundry
Sing it out and I will tell you a story
Sing it out and I will tell you a lie
Wring it out between your hands just like the laundry
Ringin' out, the bells appeal to the sky
And if it were up to me, I'm sure that you'd agree
If it's a blessing you give, then a blessing you'll be
And all you want, all you could ever need is just to...
Sing it out...
And if it were up to you, you'd know just what to do
You could turn these brown eyes blue, and green,
Well that's the color of you and me, color of everything...
Sing it out...
North South East West
I can feel you in the room
North South East West
I can feel you when you move
You're the one that I know best
Yes, I'm not afraid to want
The heart right out of your chest
I'm not
I could tell right when we met
This one's special
And I bet
You'll be unavailable
Still I'm not afraid to want
What I can get
I'm not
You take the wheel
I'll drop my hands
Come make me feel
The way your voice fills a room
And takes the air
It's really all I can do
To sit and stare
The way you fill me to the brim
That's just not fair
It's not
She / His / Them
You move like a snake and I wanna follow
You move like a snake and I wanna follow
Down to the ground
Down to where it is lost or found
You move like a snake and I wanna follow
See I've been feeling mean since I saw ya
I've been feeling mean since I saw ya
The apple fell
I picked it up and said oh what the hell
I've been feeling mean since I saw ya
Mountains
You'd seen the green water one too many times
You were a year older, scared like a child
A hurricane chased the sea
You were so mean to me
I was going to show you
Something that moves with the moon
I asked you one to ten
I let you down again
I've just been there so many times
The mountains made us angry
The mountains made us fight
And you're always taking the shine out of me
With an upturned lip and a quiet laugh
I can hear you through the wall
Shaking your head
But tell me, how am I supposed to get it right
When you won't look me in the eye
A sly comment didn't fix it, did it?
We could get it right, or just get by
I've just been there so many times
The mountains made us angry
The mountains made us fight
Story
You lift your head, say come on dear
I'm still in bed, and I wanna stay here
You've been awake, you've been rambling
I close my eyes, that's just the state I'm in
And I don't know the story I'm gonna tell
I don't know the story yet
You've been away but you'll be back soon
You left a space here in this room
That I held on to
While you were gone, and
I don't know the story
I don't know the story I'm gonna tell
About this
I don't know the story
I don't know the story I'm gonna tell
About this
That Kind
I knew they wouldn't understand
The way the drink just fell from my hand
So I just watched it hit the floor
And then you walked on in the door
I've had enough to drown a man
Spun in circles like that overhead fan
Still, you couldn't knock me down if you tried
But you don't look to be that kind
That kind, always lookin' for a fight
That kind, don't know his wrong from his right
And now you couldn't knock me down if you tried
But you don't look to be that kind
They're watching me and I can tell
They think that I am in my own personal hell
But this is honestly the best part
It's over, and now I can start
It's that kind of change that wracks you right through
It's that kind of starting over brand new
And now you couldn't knock me down if you tried
But you don't look to be that kind
No, you don't look to be that kind
Walnuts
Walnuts split easy between my teeth
Soft and yielding against my tongue
Birds come closer, scent of basil too
Rising up two stories to meet me in my room
My friends tell me it'll be alright
And I believe them, I believe them tonight
It's all so simple, it's all so clean
I can let things be imperfect, and holy
I got tired of
Searching the skies above
I got tired of
Holding back my love
