Did you need me to be steady after I turned into wind Did you need me to be solid after I turned to liquid I'm a fake fraudulent reporter, trying to decode changes in the weather, pleading for summer, keeping on my sweater, making predictions without ever going outside Promised a little rain, brought in a hurricane Year after year, can't let it go Why did you disappear after the air was clear Year after year, I still don't know how to trust the sun how to trust the sun Sick and tired of believing all of it is my fault Laying under a willow~ weeping~ stroking her hair softly An image inverted in the water, I will jump in, disappearing altogether I'm naked, shivering all over, should I feel whole now, feel whole now An image inverted in the water, should I feel whole now, feel whole now I'm naked, shivering all over, should I feel whole now, feel whole now? Promised a little rain, brought in a hurricane Year after year, can't let it go Why did you disappear after the air was clear Year after year, I still don't know how to trust the sun how to trust the sun how to trust the sun, sun sun how to trust the sun, sun, sun How to trust (how do I, how do I, how do I) the sun, sun, sun (trust the sun) How to trust (how do I, how do I, how do I) the sun, sun, sun (trust the sun) How to trust (how do I, how do I, how do I) the sun, sun, sun (trust the sun) How to trust (how do I, how do I, how do I) the sun, sun, sun (trust the sun)

Storm 04:03
across the world, I can feel you across waves, same phase of the moon I gotta put my hands down now can I still reach you? oh say can we see one another now (w)ringing out thoughts and prayers do we care a little more when all of us are caught in the storm it's not enough to hear your voice you're cutting out, but I know we don't have a choice we gotta stick together now if the wifi allows oh say can we see one another now (w)ringing out thoughts and prayers do we care a little more when all of us are caught in the storm how long 'til I can see you again how long 'til I can high five my friends how long 'til we can cut it up on the dance floor how long 'til we see we got another, another chance oh say can we see one another now (w)ringing out thoughts and prayers do we care a little more (or do we care a little less)? do we care a little more (or do we care a little less)? do we care a little more when all of us are caught in the storm

lay here with me we are cradled, we are new cupped hands in the sink running water as we move phantom feeling on my flesh where you drew if you allow me I’ll sink into you am I a deep sea dreamer or a floating celestial body? shimmy up melt down I don’t know what’s up with gravity right now melt down shimmy up -side down and I just can’t get enough stars in New Mexico I am falling for the road cycling through the moons in my dollar dancing shoes lightning in my bones I don’t know where I’m going am I a deep sea dreamer or a floating celestial body? shimmy up melt down I don’t know what’s up with gravity right now melt down shimmy up -side down and I just can’t get enough cycling through the moons in my dollar dancing shoes if you allow me to I will sink into you ..... in my dollar dancing shoes shimmy up melt down I don’t know what’s up with gravity right now melt down shimmy up -side down shimmy up melt down I don’t know what’s up with gravity right now melt down shimmy up -side down and I just can’t get enough

The air is warm and rippling The waves wear halos of spray I am so thankful I am thankful When I was sleeping on the line of the shore You woke me up, you helped me see more Me and Molly feelin the earth beneath our feet Shadows on our breasts Tossin our clothes in the quarry We don’t need them now weighing us down We don’t need them now How bout we make songs and laughter with the voices we find together ? How bout with pieces of the sky and earth we make a necklace? If you are seeking far beyond the line of the shore I’ll swim beside you til you find what you’re looking for Me and Molly feelin the earth beneath our feet Shadows on our breasts Tossin our clothes in the quarry We don’t need them now weighing us down We don’t need them now Light at the center of the sea Hand on your heart You see me Minerals evolve, flowers bloom Hand on my heart I see you Light at the center of the sea Hand on your heart You see me Minerals evolve, flowers bloom Hand on my heart I see you Hand on my heart I see you
