i like you lying your knees and shoulders bare like a wild animal in the shade resting and when you're starving do you think about her hanging in their bedroom red nails and sweater
2.
The Attic 03:26
what would you do, if it was summer and we were older? would we find the time for each other? would we have to wait through the winters? would we fall in love all over? what if we could walk to our houses or could say ok later come over what if it was easier for us? would it still stay unused like the attic? or we can go and find a place to hide out out on a cliff or up hidden in the attic wanna see your hair grow or we could cut them at the same time wanna see the colors in your eyes when we stay up so late like butterflies
3.
Find You 04:02
i remember being in the darkroom with you in the evenings before eating and under the kitchen floor boards we'd develop photographs, black and white pictures i could tell you right now that i'm wild about you and it's not a lie but if we find that too much time is passing us by well it's just a crime i'd like to come home and find you in my bed rather than watching movies alone instead
4.
Empty Bed 03:06
nights just go so slow when you're in an empty bed and the snow trucks keep you up like how your shadows used to nights just go so slow when you're in an empty bed and the snow trucks keep you up like how it haunts you nights just get so cold when you're in an empty bed and the little lamp just stares at you while you're tormented
5.
won't somebody smack me and make me realize like if you live so far apart it may not work hold on to his cameras where his fingers used to press like what else can you hold close now to your chest i just close my eyes and think about all the nights i'd like to be with you while i'm just painfully here lying on the floor i just close my eyes and think about all the nights i'd like to be with you i just think about how pretty she is could you be my winter shadow when the kitchen's too cold for me to cook or when my bedroom's cold after i come home from work i know that you would miss you friends in the sun and sunny green plants i just close my eyes and think about all the nights i'd like to be with you while i'm here wishing for something more i just close my eyes and think about all the nights i'd like to be with you i just think about how pretty she is could you be my winter coat when i need someone to hang around me or if i get sick when the wind chills minus something i know that this town is so small and far away maybe we just don't belong listen to the radio they tell you about the seals like if you see them on a wharf they are just resting oh to take a break from cold water living or to take a break from missing you this evening or to get on some planes i wanna see you so bad lord i hope this winter passes so fast or to take a break from cold water moaning or to take a break from missing you to this evening or to get on some planes i wanna see you so bad or to take a break from everything that makes you sad she only lives in california where would i meet ya so far away in another land when will i see ya

alabama's not too far for me as she said that could be our meeting spot take you home with me if i could and we could lye on the cold floors there's a strange wait for autumn leaves as she says goodbye to september bedroom window watching like a cat as you're waiting for her company give me just one reason to stay here before my blood freezes and i die like aaron in the basement is cold i just wanna know where my home is now i'm trying to find you where are you staying tonight is aaron in the basement alright where are you sleeping tonight is aaron in the basement alive says he's staying at someone's house i wouldn't know says he's name greg and i don't have his telephone nobody sees him he hides all alone on his own
7.
i started to miss my friends and the weather was growing bad cloudy with rain so i went to the store and i started to feel a bit better i just wanted someone familiar to laugh with a very young couple in this town found out they were going to have a baby so he sold his house to them but in this early morning darkness when all you can see is black you'd never know there's an ocean there i just want to be out in the boat with my dogs
8.
so when there's no one but the wind and low lying fog against the cliffs could i stay at my sisters house a place that does not exist where there's a bed made for you and she could be there for me so when there's no one but the wind and low lying fog and heavy mist could i stay at my sister's house where there's a bed made for you and late night talks help you through when winter's hard for you
9.
The Road 02:55
can you put me in a rocking chair and tell me that you can make it before skin gets old tell me that we're not doomed i just wanna hear your voice in my ear but the road was icy as we slip further away
10.
i can see you tho your miles away i want to be inside of your winter coat such a warm and safe place to sleep play with me like soft wax we can build a fire with our hands i could stay up all night just watching you like an angel in my bedroom such a holy sight i like to watch videos of you sitting inside watching videos of you home alone watching videos of you all i want is to watch videos of you
