Keep It Down

Perched on the window admiring the rain
Your arm tucked beneath mine
I'm myself today
I got so many feelings
They come all at once
Follow me around
Haven't felt this good in months
I met you on a day like today
Didn't know you'd change
My whole life for good
So come what may
Sooner or later we'll walk down the road
and I'm too drunk to carry you home
It'll be nice to know
I got you around
And we'll sing too many songs
Because we drank the whole town
All we've amassed from this life
Is ours to keep
All the terrible thoughts
That put us to sleep
And if you're scared tonight
Am I still you light?
You talk to me
Like you know what I'm thinking
And probably been thinking all about it too
How did you find me?
I'm so glad you found me here
And it's my belief
That I'm gonna see this through
Such a sweet relief
that you're gonna see it too
And it's not all for not
All the problem you got are true
And if it all plays right
It'll be alright
We kept them laughing for this long
Maybe they'll understand when we're older
Families and kids all around
And plenty for us since we got off the ground
I'm not so sure where my life is
Structured with those who wish to be loved
For now, we'll probably drown
But we'll keep you in mind when we're keeping it down
I can't keep it down

Today the warm wind blew
I've been thinking about how I never follow through
Find it hard to breathe at night
Swollen eyes and stuffed insides
Let your chest rise
Say our goodbyes
Cause I'm feeling sad
That you're not around
And it's June
Swallow the pseudoephedrine
Stress out about this world I'm stuck in
Dumb reason to be unaware
Shady tints of moons and stars
I'm not quite sure of where you are
I smell cigarette smoke
Through that open window
I guess I'm feeling sad
That you weren't around
To run to
I'm feeling really bad
That I'm not around
And neither are you

Lack Thereof

Take it back
Body has sunken flat
Honey, don't tell me that
You think I know it?
You know it don't you?
Get it right
Can't sleep without a light
Sharpen your dreaming knife
You sang don't worry
Your solar refuge
Portrait of
Free falling morning dove
Beauty, or lack thereof
You think I know it?
You know it don't you?
I think I'm afraid of everything
