They built a big house
Across the street, I
See a clear view
From my brother’s room
And cars slow as they pass
To witness its lack of context
The trees are gone and deer are too
This neighborhood ‘be nothing without you

I wanna know what’s in your head
Tell you it’s nothing to be scared of
Put those thoughts to sleep in bed
Tangled bedsheets, kickin’ bad dreams
When you’re sleeping (you’re sleeping)
If you’re sleeping

Your Kid Eyes

Through the trees
Beneath golden leaves
Through the trees
Beneath dying leaves
I can see
Your kid eyes
In the winter (in the cold)
I can see your kid eyes
In the winter (in the cold)
I can see your kid eyes

Go and Stay Gone, I

Feelin’ lost lately
Tired and out of touch
Thinkin’ back to the younger me
(The younger me)
Remember Big Sur, man?
Early twenties felt so free
Somehow all that wandering felt so certain
I’m staring at a blurry picture of what I thought I should be
Painting pictures of landscapes far away
Would rather take to the open roads than find a way to cope
I’m thinking rain-slicked highways and all night cafes
No use in facing life, we should just go and stay gone
Trying hard to get it right
Retracing steps, playing it back
Remembering the wine of youth
Dancing under pale moonlight
Chasing sun across golden hills
Sleeping in the roadside ditches
Painting pictures of landscapes far away
Would rather take to those open roads than find a way to cope
I’m dreaming rain-slicked highways and all night cafes
No use in facing life, we should just go and stay gone

Go and Stay Gone, II

Just another early morning
In the universe
Just another night without answers
Light seeps in, the cat paws at the door
Looking over at you
Hair splayed across the pillows
And I can see
I can better appreciate this thing beside me
That’s given life meaning
