I kept your letters
My friends say it's unhealthy
To keep the pain so close
Chained up as a reminder
To tell me I'm a liar
(I remember, in your letters
I remember, in your letters)
And when the tunnels closed
I called you on the phone
I spoke to your machine
She talked so sweet to me
Leave a message at the beep
(You've probably gone to sleep)
We were 20
We were laughing
We drank deli coffee to keep from crashing
You're walking me home
I don't wanna go
As the sky was getting lighter
You said I should be a writer
I wake up tired
With ink stains on my fingers
Another 13 years
And maybe I'll be wiser
(You got married)
But I'll still be a writer
(I moved away, guess you stayed
Thought that I'd have more to say
I thought that I'd be less afraid)
And when the tunnels closed
I called you on the phone
(This is the scene)
I spoke to your machine
(You wrote for me)
She talked so sweet to me
Leave a message at the beep
(The villain on your movie screen)
We were 20
We were laughing
We drank deli coffee to keep from crashing
You're walking me home
I don't wanna go
As the sky was getting lighter
You said I should be a writer
(I remember, in your letters
I remember, in your letters
You've probably gone to sleep
You look happy
You got married
I moved away, guess you stayed
Thought that I'd have more to say
I thought that I'd be less afraid)
We were 20
We were laughing
We drank deli coffee to keep from crashing
You're walking me home
I don't wanna go
As the sky was getting lighter
You held my shoulders tighter
You said I should be a writer
You said I should be a writer
You said I should be a writer

Moon Song

You say you want a cigarette
I hold the flame up to your hand
Say you should give it up
I open like a flower at your touch
For you, it isn’t much
Why can’t I give you up?
Your kiss is like the tide
Touch the shore and then goodbye
Now I’m adrift at sea
Hoping you will notice me
My God
It’s lonely loving you
You wax and wane
Just like the moon
You say there’s water in your dreams
You ask me what it means
You’re already gone
I hold you, but you look away
What can I do to make you stay?
You’re already gone
Your kiss is like the tide
Touch the shore and then goodbye
Now I’m adrift at sea
Hoping you will notice me
My God
It’s lonely loving you
You wax and wane
Just like the moon
My God
It’s lonely loving you
You wax and wane
Just like the moon
My God
It’s lonely loving you
You wax and wane
Just like the moon
My God
It’s lonely loving you
You wax and wane
Just like the moon
You touch my hand
Suddenly there I am
You touch my hand

Desire Line

One day you’re gonna thank me
for the house that I built
You’ll kiss all my fingers
And pull out all the splinters
with your teeth
And you’ll sing me to sleep
In the house that i built
It was empty until
I cut you out of wilderness
(My desire line)
I carved you out with tenderness
(My desire line)
I ripped you from the stone and vine
(My desire line)
I burned the forest and the pine
To make you mine
One day you’ll abandon
All those wild weeds
You’ll clean the dirt off of your skin
Hold me close to you and then
You’ll say you love me
Please say you love me
I cut you out of wilderness
(My desire line)
I carved you out with tenderness
(My desire line)
I ripped you from the stone and vine
(My desire line)
I burned the forest and the pine
To make you mine
And if we want it bad enough
We can dig the garden up
Weak is how I found you
You’re getting weaker all the time
But I’m a real hard worker
I take what’s mine
