Keep Me Away

I am not the only thing you’ve known, but I’ve been here before
And I know every little thought and feeling, I know
Even though it’s been a month or so, I’ve been here before
Right here, in this exact same spot, right here
You just keep me away
You keep me away
If you don’t seize the memories, I might haunt you until you go
If you don’t seize me, I will go
I don’t think it’s fair to say go home when I’ve been here before
It’s not a quiet thing to say; they’re not friendly words at all
You just keep me away
You keep me away
If you don’t seize the memories, I might haunt you until you go
If you don’t seize me, I will go
If you don’t seize the memories, I might haunt you until you go
If you don’t seize me, I will go

I've Been Here Before

I am not the only thing you’ve known, but I’ve been here before
And I know every little thought and feeling, I know
Even though it’s been a month or so, I’ve been here before
Right here, in this exact same spot, right here
A breeze to make it real, to make it old, and I’ve been here before
But when it’s warm and it blows, it gets cold
I don’t think it’s fair to say go home when I’ve been here before
It’s not a quiet thing to say; they’re not friendly words at all
Keep me away
You just keep me away
If you don’t see what I can see, I might haunt you until you go
If you don’t see me, I will go

Learning to Love (14b)
02:13
|

You should know, lying in the heat and shadow of a tin oak
Sleeping bag at home
but I brought the soap and the only working stove
By the puddle, where the rain goes
They show us songs, and keep us warm
That's when the table grows, the lighting shows a learning
Inside a 5 x 5 with open eyes and open skies and open thighs and learning
To and from
Time to organize and emphasize this tin oak
It was a thorough soak
Angry house of mine, painted land outside
By the puddle, where the rain goes
You held my hand, I understand
That's when the table grows, the lighting shows a learning
Inside a 5 x 5 with open eyes and open skies and open thighs and learning
Oh, the learning

Learning to Leave (3)
02:50
|

|
Choosing what I chose to know
Lacking a foresight and I'll never be told
Although I'm surprised still to find all the trouble that I knew was waiting: the reasons for time after time I must leave you and the mountains that made me
and our sunlight is steadily fading
Knowing what I know of tomorrow,
knowing that bronze dust just shakes to the ground
I look with the only eyes I've ever used, but they've gotten me this far
The thing about eyes is you're touching the ground but yet it still seems far- far too far
Now suddenly, the clock starts to tick and the clothing is quick to come off
Now honestly, and I'm scared of the answer but do you think that this could be wrong?
There's a scent in the air and a knot in my back from the time that our bed was too soft
I'm tired of perspective, the feeling's neglected no matter the time or the cost
Honey, this time its meaning was lost

Nothing Left to Hide (4)
03:30
|
|||
|
In this honey-gold hive, where there seems to have been something missing
You wear it well, this land of mine
with nothing left to hide
The broadening of my shoulders with time I have to relive the feeling
It leaps and shines, this land of mine
with nothing left to hide

Come to Me, Close
04:03
|

|
I can do anything
With you in my life I have everything
It's amazing how that
can change just like that
To me you are everything
The wholeness of earth and its better things
Just like a map
Babe don’t look back
To show a growth
try to find any kind of change I can prove
I know you know
What I’ve been up to
Come to me close
Come to me closer
I can do anything
With you by my side I have everything
It's amazing how that
can change just like that
To show my growth
Try to find any kind of change I can prove
You think you know
What I’ve been up to
Come to close
Come to me closer

Augusta,
kill what's inside of me before it gets out

I know it's not quite like I thought and I'd tell you why
if only I knew how
Let's be the smallest things around
Happiness isn't what I want in a couple of years
If I could, I'd like it now
Let's be the smallest things around
The smallest living things around
If you can't wipe away the thoughts that you've made appear,
you might haunt me until I die
If you were to make a list of names that you know, dear
I would hope that one would be mine

Dinner (2)
03:59
|

Can't you see, baby, how mean to me
you seem to be
I will not cry if you don't call
I barely care about anything at all
Help me get up, help me get warm
I want to tell you everything I know
and when I'm at home, I want to feel at home
Can't you see, baby, how mean to me
you seem to be
When I'm at home, and I'm here alone
I want to feel at home
I know you're inside of me
I feel you inside of me
The only chance I think I had with you is gone
The only way I think I may has come and gone
and then Dinner comes
Can't you see, baby, how mean to me
you seem to be

The Timing of it All
03:08
|
|||
|
The timing of it all, it seems so far from what we've known
and neither you or I can seem to make this place a home
or just a dream?
Is this the last you think you'll see of me?
I will not fall back into the ocean
I will not crawl back into the ocean
I'm sitting on your collar, babe
hoping for some things to change
I'll power through this winter, dear
To me, it's getting clear: I can't survive here
I might just die here
Just tell it to me straight and I can take it blow by blow
You and I were meant to be, I think it's time you know
that I can't believe
this was the last you thought you'd see of me
I will not fall back into the ocean
I nearly fell right into the ocean
I will not crawl back into the ocean
