I don't know how I did it but I did everything wrong
And I did it in order
Every lack of patience every presence of my restless pride
I guess I was looking at the wrong things
I guess I was unprepared
Now there's nothing left to do but piece by piece to reconstruct my mind
I don't know why I really don't care about places but I still care about the water
Every time it feels like I could finally start to live my life
I guess I've been standing on the wrong piece of ground
I guess I've been stupid
Now I don't know what to say but
If I'm silent and I lead you
Across the city
If I'm wordless understand me
As I bring you with me
If I'm silent and I lead you
Across the city
If I'm wordless understand me
As I bring you with me
Oh kill these words
Never did anything for me
Oh kill these words
Never did anything for me
My family my reputation all my careful plans
Lord kill this story
If I'm silent and I lead you
Across the city
If I'm wordless understand me
As I bring you with me
If I'm silent and I lead you
Across the city
If I'm wordless understand me
As I bring you with me
Oh kill these words
Never did anything for me

Enough

It’s not a coincidence that I only started bonding with my cousin when she came back from the war
And she showed me that there’s something powerful in recovering to who you were
Are you enough
Are you in love
Are you enough
In the junkyard where my ex-lover and I trashed all the pieces of our home
She turned to me and said “Just so you know, this is the worst thing
This is the worst thing I’ve ever known”
Are you in love
Are you enough
Are you in love
In Burgundy where my teacher said “Rachel come look” as the goats ran in from the rain
I learned in that gesture love can be as gentle as bringing someone in on the things that delight you
Calling them by name
Are you enough
Am I enough
Why do I always think I’m hanging by a thread
Why do I believe the fear and give the love my doubt instead
Maybe the humor doesn’t have a dark side this time
Maybe this doesn’t have to be a stress test
Give me your best guess
Are you in love
Am I enough
Are you enough

It all comes down to time spent
And time you didn’t spend
Time we didn’t spend together
Time I didn’t spend with you
Influence we didn’t have on each other
Influence I didn’t have on you
And they tell me not to regret it
But I am going to regret it
I will always regret not reaching out to you
If you were lonely
I wish you would have told me
I mean didn’t you know me
You know I would have come
And fuck that stupid argument
Sometimes I’m a mess as well
But I wish you could have told the difference
I wish you would have let me know you were in Hell
And I know
You never thought you were beautiful
And I know
Grace was always other people
And you thought you had to try so hard
But if you were doing anything wrong
It was telling yourself that you didn’t belong
It was taking the noise on board
And letting it hurt you
Oh my friend
I think I fucked this up
I think I fucked this one up
I think I fucked this up

Poison in the Ground

I’m different than I was
I talk about God
I talk to my anger and temper my speech
I miss my family but that’s not new to me
And God gave them back when you let me be
When I lost you
You threatened your life
But wasn’t that every day with us on the edge of a knife
I watched you fall I watched you lie
I drove back home to look you in the eye
We walked real slow and silent on the beach
Sinking down into the belly of the beast
Here on our plate is the worst part of you and the worst part of me
And I can tell you what I’ve found
The grass is greener where you water it
Unless there’s poison in the ground
One thing I learned from you is how things die
Sometimes they just go and then they’re gone
There doesn’t have to be a reason why
I tell myself I left to save my life
I hope you find yourself a more committed wife
Here on our plate is the worst part of you and the worst part of me
And I can tell you what I’ve found
The grass is greener where you water it
Unless there’s poison in the ground

Chemistry

We know the plan
We heard the story
We watched our parents play the game
We grew our bodies and our habits
We learned that love will change our name
In the beginning
There is was only chemistry
I love it
I love it when you’re close to me
I changed my plans
I don’t have anything to do
Part of me is always standing still
Standing still and holding you
We know the facts
We read the studies
Fifty percent a change of plans
Stay awake
Stay together
Don’t let it slip out of your hands
I love it
When you’re close to me
And in the ending
There is only chemistry
I don’t have anything to do
Part of me is always standing still
Standing still and holding you
Standing still and holding you
Standing still and holding you
Standing still and holding you
Standing still and holding you
Standing still and holding you
Standing still and holding you
(Standing still and holding you)
