Summer, as you close your lush lips
You residue mist on the tops of window sills
As I sit still and think of things I’ll miss
Though at your start, the sky scorched right through my insides
I still think about those nights
Warm wind days, will you stay?
I’m a wreck and awash with waves to pull me to sea
As our hearts litter this beach
Can you feel the butterflies in your gut?
Are they pushing for your mouth as much as mine are?
Stay awake for sleepy hands to dead legs,
To my head pressed against your chest
And if you’d want to dress your lips with these
For you to breathe again, ask and I can
Can you feel these waves?
I hear you say “Can you feel it? The sun has abandoned us”
As our bones wash up on the tops of dunes
You whisper “Don’t let me face this winter without you”

There's some nights I remember
In a car again and driving from your house, your town, and sense of charm
As it beckons from highways apart
It's like the nights after you leave
When your smell clings to my sheets it stays with me
Like how I try to fall asleep
To bring the covers to my face, to contrast the fall breeze
As the small screen strobes green and reads to me 11:03pm;
Come back to me
Drive by Dartmouth's nightlights
And on the ride home, sleep in that spot between
Where your cheek and my collarbone meet
Just like I saw in that one dream; tell me about it
Tell me what you think of when you're just at the edge of sleep
Cuz I can't sleep; There's just something about autumn's eve
You are basements with blankets; you are the orange leaves
Come back to me
These songs are mementos like memories taped to a sheetrock wall
Like late October hurricanes, we own the wind and talk for hours and days
And on this dark road, our friends keep their voices low
Rest your head on my lap on the ride home

Around here it’s always raining, but you know that just fine
I see you near shallow pools; I wait for you to open skies
And you know its hardest to move under this rain
But all these things still walk away and I still wait for days
And you still seem to turn away
But I’m begging,
Let's fall on your floor and watch the days & nights pass
Tell me do you ever miss that too?
Tell me that I don't have to worry of my connection to you
It’s unhealthy to fall asleep like this, do you?
Do you ever lay and think things through?
Do you ever talk to yourself too much too often for your own good?
Well I know it's unhealthy to fall asleep like this, to you
I’m without you here and I'm dying dear; just not in front of you
It's unhealthy to fall asleep like this
Can you make your signals clear?
Because I'm dying dear; just not in front of you

Do you still wake up 4 hours after sleep stops your eyelash-flutters?
And in your dreams, do they still flutter on the cheek of the same boy between the same sheets?
And in these dreams are you ever the first to kiss me?
I'm thinking of when you said, "I love you and don't ever forget that"
I'm thinking and that's just too bad
I think you know me well enough to know I can't help that
So when it starts to show on my face
I know you shouldn’t have to see how this stings
But you just can't fake these things
You never call but you still give me the same shakes
And you keep me awake just as late, sweetie
You just can't fake these things
Do you ever think of when you’d sink into missing me?
Play it over and over until i’m just talk behind your teeth
Then remind me of your advice to sleep cuz I just don’t know how
It’s 4am and I’m wondering if you’re awake right now
I would trade any sleep for you twisted and tangled in sheets with me
Make intricate, intimate knots of allure that we let feed our chemistry
Press on me, undress by thread or maybe make you shed sweat instead
You stimulate a sense & not just when I think about you in bed
Because you’re all that goes on in my head
The starlight in your stare burns holes in me, yet you see everything
For once admit to me what do those eyes see?
Because I’ve never felt invisible when you’ve kissed me
Even though it’s tough to remember the last time you never turned from me
And I know I can’t blame you for when time changes things
But they’re always changing
But I think you still see some of what you once saw in me
And in my sleep I swear I feel your arms fold over me
You just can't fake these things
I know that I’m living fine, and maybe I’ll find what I did that one summer
But it’s tough to admit, because I won’t ever find better

Losing Touch

You said you always knew I deserved someone better
You thought I was the sweetest boy you've met
And I sometimes thought of that as my anchor
Until you came; you shaped a love that no one could break
Found in your face, encased in what I'm afraid God thought was much too good to stay
So don't get choked up when you can’t just look at mementos of then
I’ve hung posters of the first shows you've gone to
And your paper heart above my bed
I can leave them somehow, while you can leave your house and be with friends
And you can laugh and talk about what’s new
Like every week when I would do the same with you
But I don't think you remember that
Because I know that things don't seem that okay
You say it faded much like a flame
Cuz after all we're only human anyway
I want you to lie on your side at night
And think of how I tried when we lost touch
You said I should have never played pretend,
I think I just believed in you too much
Because you're still the best thing that's happened to me
And there's no pretend in that
That's why I'm sinking now almost as hard as I fell for you back then
Because I hope that when you feel things aren't okay
You’ll pray it’ll fade like a flame
I just hope that I don’t lose you for good this way
And I know you’ll find what you want someday
Cuz right now you’re so unsure but I know that’s not your fault
You’re only human anyway
We’re only human and sometimes things just change

But at your start, the sky scorched right through my insides
I still think about those nights
Warm wind days, will you stay?
I’m a wreck and awash with waves to pull me to sea
As our hearts litter this beach
Can you feel the butterflies in your gut?
Are they pushing for your mouth as much as mine are?
Stay awake for sleepy hands to dead legs,
To my hands pressed against your chest
And you can curl your lips and your hips all over me right then
Kiss me again
Can you feel this?
Highway sunrise, scorch right through my insides
