1. Closer
The closer we are
The further we come
To being alone
Being apart
The closer we are
So far
The more that we touch
The less that I feel
Tomorrow I'll beg, borrow and steal
To fall
The closer we come
The further we are
From being as one
Being in love
The closer we are
So far
The more that I think
The less that I know
Tomorrow I'll go
Tomorrow I'll know
So long

the roots are dying underneath my feet
now that the leaves have abandoned the tree
there's a shadow where my heart used to beat
now I have no choice but to set you free
I will follow
your footprints
in the snow
they'll take me wherever you go
though I can't be with you anymore
the daylight is making a quick retreat
now I can barely see in front of me
the falling snow
fills your tracks
wherever I go

4. Prodigal
waiting for rain
plunged into water
cleanses
the delta widens
her mouth to expel
us into the gulf's
warm brine
searching the sky
for signs of the storm
to come
there is no rainfall
swelling the river
flows over her banks
flooding
a town
that we have only
been to in our dreams
asking the stars
for some direction
nightly
no one's willing to
lead us astray out
of fear that we will
get lost
only
to discover there's
another way home

I fall back onto the sand
pulling you down with me and
when you smile I know the sun will rise
I roll over onto you
as your eyes reflect the blue
of the ocean's deepest mysteries
washed ashore

I’m dreaming of a hospital
and all the doctors
who’d examine me
there’d be long lines
I would become a tragedy
don’t give me the treatment I need
what does it matter if I’m broken?
I’m sleeping through a medical
examination
at the county morgue
there’d be long lines
I would become a celebrity
I’m dreaming of a prison cell
and all the lawyers
who’d represent me
there’d be long lines
I would become a legacy
don’t give me the counsel I need
what does it matter if I’ve spoken?
I’m sleeping through a criminal
interrogation
handcuffed to a chair
there’d be long lines
I would become a monstrosity

the world
falling
around me
is not my own
so why
should I care
who dies

I call you one last time
to let you know that I have gone
where the yellow harvest
turns the morning gray to blue
the sky reaches toward
the next horizon
I’m losing the reception
your voice fades to static waves
with my windows open
the autumn air comes rushing through
the day is without
a destination
I let you decide to
get off the line once and for all
out across the endless
the rolling plains stretch wide and far
in every direction
I find a new way
to leave you

now that I'm gone
will you remember the world
just as it was
when there was time
to be young
and live forever
long are the days
that will not pass on
until love has won
what life undoes
love brings together again
just like before
and with each time
love wants more
than your surrender
lost are the days
that will not return
until life is done

You have my promise
I won't do it all for you
You have my promise
I won't do it all for you
You have my promise
I won't lose myself for you
You have my promise
I won't lose myself for you
You have my promise
I won't do it all for you
You have my promise
I won't lose myself for you
You have my promise
I won't do it all for you
You have my promise
I won't fall in love with you

I wish I had met you after I had known you
