Blew It 00:54
Trip got delayed. Stuck in the city for a day. Bad mood in the way of enjoying the moment. Hot drizzling rain. And I look away, too stubborn to see anything of importance. Your eyes. The sky. Oh, I blew it.
2.
Lobby 02:03
Open window. Week on my own. I feel alright. Cookies and coffee in the lobby. Tell the front desk goodnight. I feel purpose in this room. No guests but you. Ten books and fruit. Everything feels renewed. I'm a tourist in this room. See everything anew. When the week is through, I swear I will be too.

I could be right. I could be right for you. I'll never be wrong. Never tell me I'm wrong when I'm telling the truth. Sitting puny. Always here. I don't mind. I even fear I would wait for weeks, for mere months for you. I'd wait for year and year and years. Take me to the store. The one we talked about before. Take me to the store. Take me to the store! I will get one. You will get at least four. I swear I'll be the one to pick it all up when it falls on the floor. Little peek into your room. Something perfect just for you. I was telling you the truth. I said it like a joke but that's what I always do. Hand over the thing. The one you said you'd give to me. Hand over the thing. That stupid little thing! I could be right.

Feel It Too 02:08
Everything's suddenly the same. I close my eyes and open them. I'm my old self again. I could talk to you each day, and I'm so lucky that you'd let me. I feel everything. The words echo through my chest when I hear you sing. I close my eyes. Clear my mind. Every word I hear I believe. Afternoon boat trip. Sun in my eyes and I like it. My hair blows in the wind. I feel full again. Everything seems cool again. Take the bus an hour south. Block out everything but right here and now. Request my stop. Wide-eyed, get off. Let the joy pour out. On my back in the park. Ants on my arm. I bet they're on yours do. Do you feel it too? You feel it too.
5.
Loves 02:14
Pick it up. Put it back down in another town. Lift me up. Knock me back down. Should have learned my lesson by now. By default, given the bed. Think I'd rather have the floor instead. It's an easy way to suffer, before I'm forced into another week where nothing's wrong with me. TV, food delivery. I'll waste everyone's time, so that I don't waste mine. Settle on wafers and coffee. Enter gas station in bare feet. It's a blessing to stretch my legs. Please, can I be the DJ next? I'm right here. Present and here. The car is moving moving moving moving moving moving moving again. But I'm right here.

Tell Me No 01:47
Played a love song just for you at a show you didn't come to. Told one too many jokes into the mic in the hope that no one would see that I was spilling all of my guts for someone to whom I might never be quite enough. I'm two feet above you all and lying on the ground. Thank god no one sees me now. Spacing out til rain comes down. No alarm. Just went out. Just three things I care about. One is you, without a doubt. I will try forever til someone tells me know. Oh god! Just tell me no!
7.
Talking about some CD. I don't hear a thing. It's not that I don't care. I'm just overly aware of the way your side pushes into mine. When you lean over to talk, I want to chew my fingers off. You're on my lawn. Forgot to put my coat on. I don't mind, but I still run inside. Then I turn to mush. I know I care way too much. When I'm alone with my thoughts, I want to scream my head off. I saw you once. I really only you once. I saw you once, then I saw you twice. I really saw you twice. How about three times?
8.
Wretched 01:44
Wretched. Felt more wretched than ever before. Til sacred were the words that floated under my door. Four piece band from that once city. I tried to hate myself but they called to me, "Shut up, shut up, shut up! You fool! You fool! Get up, get up, get up! You have to! You have to!".
