Trust the Sun

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

Shimmy Up, Melt Down
03:58
|

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

Light at the Center
04:57
|

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
