Ghost Peak 04:47
Well I heard from a tired old bird That you flew too far west for me As I stood on a porch in the woods I called your phone just to hear it ring Well I drew from a newlywed crow That you crossed the sea like a mariner Yeah I know I should read your old note But I've got no letter opener You casted off and reeled me in slow And you hung me outside your window You are the greatest method actress that I've seen Well I heard from a tired old bird That you flew too far west for me As I stood on a porch in the woods I called your phone just to hear it ring Well I got more answers from the silence Of my love calling out to you I got more answers from the silence Of my love calling out to you You casted off and reeled me in slow And you hung me outside your window You are the greatest method actress that I've seen

When I'm talking I'm always feeling I can't rest, is it the same for you? In the tram que that I wait through There's a space between my irises That I can't get to I'm trying There's a blue crest up to my chest And in the water I am seeing things She wears a white dress, is holding my head But I'm blinded by her light in me And I don't know how to banish Banish your ghost With all my forces I don't know where to go Yeah I took courses far from everyone I know The cliffs are teething like I am And drink up the moon

My old soul has carried from this watering hole A fish for you and berries that you can fix at your home When I awoke against the grain I knew The closer I was getting The longer your thread strung me to you That I've been wasting matches with my time It's the hardest pill to swallow in my mind When I awoke to pouring rain I knew The notes that I was playing Were equally desolate and clung to you That I've been sailing bottles down the line And the notes the shore returned were only mine You're getting away from me Like a pendulum swings I don't know where I go But if you're the kindest one, you're also the hardest to win But this shouldn't be a contest, no this shouldn't be Do you even know why I loved you so?

On the thought of loss Pulls a pest out of my chest I must repress My chest I must repress Comes to take its place At the corner of my face it's my loneliness It's my loneliness It's below We're tearing up Harvard yard, and I'm thinking over you We're tearing up Harvard yard, and I'm thinking over you Gears make me stern A motor when it burns I burn for younger days I burn for younger days Shifting as I learn From automatic hurt to peel the husk away To peel the husk away It's below I've got a lot to know We're tearing up Harvard yard, and I'm thinking over you We're tearing up Harvard yard, and I'm thinking over you You, I know we will meet again You, I know we will meet again for the first time

Esther 03:14
I don't know why that I met you You were so kind when I met you I did not know how to not love you, but I tried to I did not know how to let it go, but I tried to Do you recall that alabaster jar that I showed you? Deep inside I'm cynical and tired but I kept safe this hope And I did not know how to not love you, but I tried to I did not know how to let it go, but I tried to I don't know why that I met you Your eyes were the same as mine when I met you

Plans Change 04:19
If I ever fell in love it was only once She'd broken me with a diamond eye Left for Carolina in the coldest night Catherine oh Catherine dear Make it disappear See it's been a good long while Your eyes, your nose fall low The vines spilling out of her head grow If I've ever been sincere, 'neath the rain I hear Locomotive noise and dream Of driving through Boston to Lindley Catherine oh Catherine dear Make it disappear See things have gotten too heavy I bear the weight of rain like a vagabond Your eyes, your nose fall low The vines spilling out of her head grow Her plans don't change up the days up Look yonder on from the plain drop, rain drop
