Yet Again

Yet again we’re the only ones,
no surprise this is often how it’s done.
Lately it’s about all I can take,
I will move and mend and mold this break.

Shell with another crack,
I’m small but I can keep track.
Too soon everyone just step away,
I’m sure this isn’t the last play.

Take it all in stride,
speak don’t confide,
we barely had a case.
it’s done before we try,
stop and end by night,
a desert in your face.

Take score even playing fields this game,
I know when all’s said we’re the same.
If I could I would leave it all be,
no chance to move backwards and see.

 Take it all in stride,
speak don’t confide,
we barely had a case.
It’s done before we try,
stop and end by night,
a desert in your face.

Hold Still

Here we go again
We'll carry on
My only friends
I'll take our chance
Without compromise
There isn't anything left to try

Here we go again
Oh, carry on
But then again
We couldn't take this long
The story goes on file
As if we never were there at all

Ready, Able

I’m gonna take a stab at this
Surely we’ll be alright
Make a decision with a kiss
Maybe I have frostbite
And when I shuffled on back home
I made sure all my tracks in the snow were gone
Tissue and bone it was a tryst
This isn’t a gunfight
Checking it off of my list
Unable to write
Five years, countless months and a loan

Hope I’m ready, able to make my own, good home

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

Two Weeks

Save up all the days
A routine malaise
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy
Take your time

Think of all the ways
Momentary phase
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Every time you try
Quarter half the mile
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy
Take your time
