We used to speak through tin cans and string
where we could talk about just about anything
but strain to keep the tension inbetween
We sought out shade beneath the trees at the quarry
I know I never said it straight, I'm sorry
It's getting late, I just want to stay outside
With you
Thinking of our younger days
Sun soaked skin whiling the time away
Skipping stones and fading gray
Sunset on our youthful ways
Strain to keep any sense of timing and lost all time
With you
You made me feel meaning, made me feel meaningful

Too much truth can seem dishonest
and much too honest is insincere
I often wonder should I hold my tongue
I often wonder should I tell anyone
I think you look better in the morning light
I lay paralyzed with nothing to say
I'll hold my love like levy until it breaks
I often wonder should I hold my tongue
I often wonder how my voice rung

Found the bottom of your love again
and set aside the notion of a weekend
where all my friends hadn't kicked the habit in the end
yet you, time found the bottom of
Are there eyes in the back of your head?
Just tell me lies, I'll believe what you said
Your crooked neck straightens out with someone in your bed
I found the bottom of your love my dear
where all the words hang in the air
The architect, creator of the roof above our heads, shouldn't share the blame
but I curse him anyway
I'll stand alone in the dark
I could never light up the whole room like you could
I will never know how time found the bottom of me

She Knows

I can see rarely what's in front of me
Color and sheen hide the lines fixed inbetween
My deceit lies within the folds of sheets
She could be the anchor that could steady me
My mother, I'm better
I found the ground beneath my feet
If fishes were wishes we'd all cast nets alone
She knows I know

Dear older brother
tell it to me like it is
you say settle down
stay cool
Live with patience
you always want to rush ahead
just settle down
stay cool
My oldest brother
owner of your happiness
you settled down in Durham
You've made a mother
and bought a home to make your own
you settles down in dirty Durham
Oh lonely lover
don't let it get to you
just settle down
stay cool
Your truth is armor
trusting yourself will do
just settle down
stay cool

Foolish me
I say it endlessly
I can hide away
but things will never stay the same
Silhouette from your cigarette smoke thick within the air
you tried to hide the scent of him
and you lost your cool
I can remember when our time was only spent on love
Foolish me
I say it endlessly
in this masquerade things will always stay the same
