Some sort of metaphor about your eyes
A simile between your thighs
Body of water, I capsize
Feeling like I’ve been baptized
I’ll stay here under the water
Ain’t scared that I’m going to drown
Fell for the prodigal daughter
Feel so lost and so found
She said “I don’t really care about your art”
“Or if you need to take your head apart”
Negotiating towards a zero sum
She said “ I just need for you to make me cum”
And I want to give you pleasure
(Trying to find god)
Not leave your field unplowed
(Sometimes writing songs)
Is it just atmospheric pressure
(Capo the third fret)
Or something more profound
(Forget everything I said)
Do you remember the dog bite
(The oak trees all grew around)
It’s not as long as it seems
(Christmas lights we didn’t take down)
Our island without traffic lights
(Like singing a duet)
The year we forgot how to dream
(Forget everything I said)
We forgot how to dream

I’m too high at the dentist
Wondering if we really exist
Like our lime tree that’s never in bloom
Or a badly drawn cartoon
Wish I could write something clever
(Trying to find god)
Delay my nervous breakdown
(Sometimes writing songs)
Postpone this record forever
(Capo the third fret)
Just quit or find a new sound
(Forget everything I said)
Do you remember driving all night
(The oak trees all grew around)
Taking the dogs to the stream
(Christmas lights we didn’t take down)
Making love between headlights
(Like singing a duet)
The year we forgot how to dream
(Forget everything I said)
We forgot how to dream

If this life is so finite
We’re salmon swimming up stream
Like all the words I should rewrite
Let’s overthrow the regime
