The city lights are low
We let the snowfall in
The radiator glows
There's no sound but the wind
Components and composure
Entwined in the bedsheets
We pull each other closer
And become one heartbeat
This roof has caved
These walls will leak
We've lost track of time
Sway with me
Your breath I breathe
This gets me high
We take off all our clothes
We're both winding down now
We're skipping all our stones
But God will let us down
We are circuits and wires
A spark where our skins meet
Like oxygen fuels fire
You make me complete
This roof has caved
These walls will leak
We've lost track of time
Sway with me
Your breath I breathe
This gets me high
This gets me high
This roof has caved
These walls will leak
We've lost track of time
Sway with me
Your breath I breathe
This gets me high

Animal

I'm wondering if you're alive
I hope you are
I'm sorry for bothering you if I do
You're wondering what kind of names do I have left
You'd like to burn them all
I don't doubt your second guess
I am not an animal by nature
I always was an honest man and neighbor
The trees were ripe with the fruits of my labor
And I am down to earth, the odds aren't in my favor
Your car broke down in Delaware, I'll meet you there
I promise I'll be on my best behavior
I'm elegant and eloquent, but I digress
The mean between us both was never second-best
I am not an animal by nature
I always was an honest man and neighbor
The trees were ripe with the fruits of my labor
And I am down to earth, the odds aren't in my favor
I am not who you think I am
I'm just a man without a plan
And hindsight just works best
I won't pretend I'm perfect
But for you, I'll try to be
Because you are to me
I am not an animal by nature
I always was an honest man and neighbor
The trees were ripe with the fruits of my labor
And I am down to earth

I kiss the pavement that you walked on
I miss the basement that still lives on
In my memory as the place we fell in love so quietly
Now I can't stand to hear you speak
The timbre of your voice brings a tremble to my knees
When I say it's over
Believe me, I'm sober
Someday we can go home again
Someday I won't be so boring
And the towers we built will crumble and rust
This flesh that we love will wither to dust
These problems we have, they must be addressed
Like why this life seems like such a mess
We live as we choose and die at our best
I'll never learn
I keep apologizing every time I lash out at you
And I know that you're better off without me
And I'm so sorry for everything
Here I go again, reaching blindly for anything
Someday we can go home again
Someday I won't be so boring
And the towers we built will crumble to dust
This flesh that we love has betrayed our trust
Wounds we inflict were left underdressed
Why must these lives fail to impress?
We live as we choose and die like the rest
I'll never learn
Time passed through my grasp like grains of sand
You spread your wings when you fled this land
Looking for love I've lost in too big of a space
Trying to feel alive again by the touch of a stranger
Our hands built this house, but our hearts built this home
I hold my last feeling of hope our paths meet again
One day we can go home again
One day I won't be so boring
And no more towers will ever be built
We'll tear down our statues to greed and guilt
No more problems and no more pain
We'll seal our fate with a kiss in the rain
Destroy all your hate and change for the best
I'll never learn
I'll never learn

Black Coffee

Well, you rolled up your sleeves
Grabbed the world by the reigns
Sad thoughts in your head and a smile on your face
You made me feel warm
But how could I have known that your heart had froze over?
Left out in the cold
I think you should know
That I hope that your coffee tastes as black as your soul
All bitter and gritty, but it still feels like home
And I hope while you're laying with him
You think of me
Don't doubt me, I'm glad you've become your own person
Blow smoke in my face so I feel what's in your lungs
Making your decisions all by yourself
Except when he demands everything else
I hope that your coffee tastes as black as your soul
All bitter and gritty, but it still feels like home
And I hope while you're laying with him
You think of me
Where have you been?
Where are you now?
She moves like the cool fall breeze
It rained on the sun when a cloud came by
She tastes like rain in the spring
I hope that your coffee tastes as black as your soul
All bitter and gritty, but it still feels like home
And I hope while you're laying with him
You think of me
And I hope that your car doesn't start in the morning
That the battery's dead 'cause it's too fucking cold
That this Michigan winter chills you straight to the bone
With some sick satisfaction that I can't pick up the phone
I hope that your coffee tastes as black as your soul
All bitter and gritty, but it still feels like home
And I hope while you're laying with him
You think of me
