Love and Thanks

Joni, I’ve got you to thank
Your voice got me through
Helped me to change
Keith and Judy
Bob freewheelin’
John and Kacey showed me where to land
You changed me
You’ll never know
I send love and thanks
Maybe you know
How Stina and Adam always showed up
Just when you need him
It’s Halifax-Joel
You looked good with him
At the flower shop
Now we’re all grown up
I loved you so much
You changed me
You’ll never know
I send love and thanks
Maybe you know
We rolled through towns
We shook the rooms
In parking lots danced around Scott’s tunes
Back on the highway you let the stars in
You showed me myself
Where everything ends
And you changed me
You’ll never know
I send love and thanks
Maybe you know
You changed me
You’ll never know
I send love and thanks
Maybe you know

Will That Be Enough
03:45
|

Parked out on the last road
Where the planes take off and land
Gave the keys to your Mama
Put em in her hand
Now we have all this in common
Memories that just were
If I could have picked anyone else
It wouldn’t have been her
Will that be enough
When you get what you want
Will that be enough
Will you be alright
If you let me go
Now I’m living outside Houston
At the book store closing up
Saw an ad for your new TV show
LA must be rough
Cause we have all this in common
Falling for your best friend
I flipped out on the small stuff
When it just wouldn’t end
Will that be enough
When you get what you want
Will that be enough
When you’re in the spotlight
Will you be alright
The first three months we drank our weight
Stayed up so late scheming
You belong on a stage
With time and room and space
To live it up
Will that be enough?
When you get what you want
Will that be enough
When you’re in the spotlight
Will you be alright
Will that be enough

Getting Close
03:15
|

Took a walk after dinner
Fresh air feels good
Fortune smiles on the fortunate
Mostly it’s left up to chance
Found some smokes in the pocket of my old coat
Ran into Cass outside the laundromat
And I know what she meant
The horizon is too far away
All my life it’s inside of me
I see the world
Inside of me
You make it alright
You make it alright for me babe and I know
I know I’m getting close
Walked to the top of dog hill
Looked down and all I could feel
Like some county storage space
Full of shit that I can’t face
When I think back to what it meant
Cool kids and entitlements
Kinda gross, adios
You make it alright
You make it alright for me babe and I know
I know we’re getting close
Pushed my fists down into my coat
With the words caught in my throat
I see the world inside of me
You make it alright for me babe and I know
I know we’re getting close

Wild Ascending Blue
03:30

It’s gonna take time
The fox tells me
Before I’m through the hills
First thaw of spring
Clear-eyed chasing
It’s gonna take love
The trees tell me
You’re gone too soon
“I’m two hundred today, see my branches sway?”
There you go
Wild and ascending blue
It’s gonna take time
The hawk tells me
Before I’m flying free above everything
Clear-eyed soaring
There you go
Wild and ascending blue
All you knew
left to be discovered new
There you go wild and ascending blue

Riding the Horses
03:41
|

Brown curl to your shoulder
Green apples in the rain
Reflection in the window
Drifting from place to place
A cloud in the sky
Ohio runaway bride
Riding the horses
Sneaking out of someplace
Anybody’s guess
Just a conversation
With a stranger on a jet
Late summer still life
Ohio runaway bride
Riding the horses
I believe in love now
Before we fly
Used to be easy
In your wild blue mind
I believe in love now
Try not to lie
Used to be you and me
In your wild blue mind
Left the party early
Rolled another hit
I’m just passing through
Staying at Anette’s
Did you ever feel so free
Red clay runaway bride
Riding the horses

Baby Don't Love You
04:00

Sunset
Same crowd
Babe you’ve got that look right now
The one you carry all over town
Same as me
Jukebox moaning in the dark
A mountainside of lost parts
When you were walking home under the stars
I was too
When your baby don’t love you no more
Baby don’t get you anymore
Someone opened your heart
Now it’s falling apart for more
Late night at the supermarket
Frozen aisle small of mopped floors
Girl at the register with orange hair
Says on the intercom
“Price check on aisle A
How much does this beer cost?”
A rental cop asked for my receipt
Which I’d already lost
When your baby don’t love you no more
Baby doesn’t get you anymore
Someone opened your heart
Now it’s falling apart for more
You think I still care cause I hide
When I said you knew me
I lied
Passed out up at dawn
Blue light TV still on
No messages on my phone
Same as you

Sunbeam
04:41
|
|||
A little piece of the sun broke off
Into life and here you are
Sneaking into the hotel bar
Pulling my arm all the way
Did the heavens say
Do do do do do …
Hanging with my baby
A perfect sunbeam
There’s nothing we can’t do
When I look at you
Swimming in the afternoon
Wet bathing suits on the floor of your room
Stepping into a warm shower
Pulling my arm all the way
Did the heavens say
Do do do do do …
Hanging with ya baby
A perfect sunbeam
There’s nothing we cant do
When I’m with you
Broken pieces of the same star
Into life and here we are
Sneaking into the hotel pool
Pulling my arm all the way
Did the heavens say
Do do do do do …
Hanging with my baby
A lazy Saturday
There’s nothing we cant do
When I look at you
A perfect sunbeam

Mirage
05:08

I loved you even when I was ruining it
When I was lost in the palm of your hand
Walked down the empty
Cobblestone streets
Shared a jacket high out on the beach
Now the stars are all awash
In my brutal blue collage
How could I hold you when you’re just a mirage
Laundry out on the line
Waves in the alleyway
A white cat walked up to you
You were burning brighter
Pockets full of sand
My hand stained with ink
They’re not the woman she was raised to be
Now the sun is going down
In your brutal blue collage
How could I hold you when you’re just a mirage
Hmm?
Apartment key and a sweater in a backpack
Took the last train back
And wandered down by the old waterfront
The honking cars the tourists are all gone
So I’ll keep you there in my brutal blue collage
How could I hold you when you’re just a mirage
The stars are all awash
In my brutal blue collage
How can I hold you when you’re just a mirage
Hmm?

Guess you had enough
A sign went up
Two bedroom for rent
On the corner
I stopped by the diner and
Sara said you were gone
Empty hangers, graduation gown
I live in your old hometown
The summer before
We walked along the empty streets behind the Plez U
And went swimming
In the reservoir
At the water’s edge
I miss you now
We broke up
I stuck around
I live in your old hometown
Sam and Angela’s movie house closed down
They’re booking bands at the coffeeshop now
Here in your town, I wake up face down
I work part-time at Campus Wine
I stock the shelves with your favorite kinds
Someone else moved in to your old house
They cut the magnolia tree down
I hear you’re out there in LA now
I hope you’ll stop by when you’re around
I live in your old hometown
