LITTLE FIRE
120bpm - 4/4
VERSE 1
we found ourselves a new steam
lifting to heaven under new sheets where i found
i’m the only one i know just
some chemical that i made with my mind
we grew too close to the break,
wilted and rusty hearts pulled from the lake
now every breath is a refrain
every character we became
CHORUS 1
and just a taste of it,
and you’re warming up to everything,
and time starts to slip,
with the edges blurred you’ll be just fine you said
VERSE 2
dusty bottles in the corner,
not ’til the end of october did i find,
crepe paper in the morning light where i,
kissed the strangers face goodbye,
not so far from nineteen,
little fire shakes the whole damn thing,
now all i’ve got is infinity,
spray pained waves on a faint hearted beach.
CHORUS 2
and just a taste of it,
and you’re warming up to everything,
and time starts to slip,
with the edges blurred you’ll be just fine you said

MOVEMENT
150bpm - 4/4
VERSE 1
fall into some car
slicing through the wind
and we’re lost, lost in every movement.
the story just pours,
all these names you can’t hear,
you were long gone before you knew it.
CHORUS 1
the porch light parting,
and your arms around me,
and you knew just where i’d be
just like you promised in that,
twelfth street loft yeah,
you’re not trying to get free
VERSE 2
you came apart so well,
unfolded like a flame,
the covers as they came,
the rabbit’s new feet,
feel like strangers in our clothes,
and i’m all you've ever known.
CHORUS 2
the porch light parting,
and your arms around me,
and you knew just where i’d be
just like you promised in that,
twelfth street loft yeah,
you’re not trying to get free
BRIDGE
CHORUS 3
the porch light parting,
and your arms around me,
and you knew just where i’d be
just like you promised in that,
twelfth street loft yeah,
you’re not trying to get free

FIRST TO BLINK
120bpm / 4/4
VERSE 1
i imagine you spiraling or not at all,
turning over slowly while i sit and watch,
the motherless children and their alcohol,
strike a permanent posture up against the wall,
CHORUS 1
they’ll never find us out
they’ll never find us out
VERSE 2
to live in the sad stories you write,
and sit with the dark ones in your mind,
they’re making me just how you like,
born to no fate, drawn towards no fire,
CHORUS 2
they’ll never find us out
they’ll never find us out
BRIDGE
so crane your neck and climb with me,
i’ll watch you melt i’ll be the first to blink,
at the solid gold at our feet,
but there’s still air between the rows of teeth,
the flames without the heat,
CHORUS 3
they’ll never find us out
they’ll never find us out
they’ll never find us out
they’ll never find us out

COUPLE CROSSED WIRES
120bpm / 4/4
VERSE 1
berkeley street is friend of mine
we’re just a couple crossed wires off the good life,
like camouflage in the Sunfire,
keeps him humming Sing Sympathy tonight,
someone heard the echoing,
the long gone man staring at the sea,
he’s overdressed, still shivering,
sees the eyes of god in the LEDs.
CHORUS 1
you can still love me then,
in every memory, torn fragment from my head,
it’ll be like we never left,
still standing outside, on the cement steps,
through the screen door and i’m coming in.
VERSE 2
there’s a sour taste left in your mouth,
an air organ with all the chords pressed down,
twenty bucks and a drug store gown,
at least it’s something, something much more loud,
that pulls the edges of the dream,
the wide-eyed kid that the camera sees,
he’s all alone and listening,
the sprinklers pouring into the empty streets,
CHORUS 2
you can still love me then,
in every memory, torn fragment from my head,
it’ll be like we never left,
still standing outside, on the cement steps,
through the screen door and i’m coming in.
