Soft sheets
What's this about?
Inside your mahogany cyprus
As long as we're me and you
We should not lose terrain
Wild and young, we got seasick
On your seven
Get off cheap
That sits with her
And the warmth of it splatters
We all can wring her neck
First we gain new terrain
When we're young, we get seasick
On your seven
We're upset, real tush
Ooh, why I sneeze like no-one
Like most, you snip soft sheets
What's this about?
Inside your mahogany cyprus
As long as we're me and you
We should not lose terrain
Wild and young, we got seasick
On your seven soft sheets

Nervous, I know
and I saw you running
It seems everywhere you go
in the wooden floors of my house
They're out to get you
in a way I couldn't see you
And then you regret
and they're not safe buildings
Should have stayed at home in bed
when the walls are out of focus
Nervous instead
and I wish that I could save you
Each time

In which we make sure no-one got hurt
What is it that you do?
You gotta get back up yourself
We know so much
So much we do
(No answer)
In a word you were told
That it'd fix your shaky home
And what got made
Was broken too
Just a field with you
Switching seats with you
Tears us apart
(I don't want it to)
Some peculiar fix
The two of us
Counting us out
(I don't want it to)
(Overnight, turned all grey)
What is it that you do?
You gotta get back up yourself
We know so much
So much we do
(No answer)
In a word you were told
That it'd fix your shaky home
And what got made
Was broken too
Just a field with you
Switching seats with you
Tears us apart
(I don't want it to)
Some peculiar fix
The two of us
Counting us out
(I don‘t want it to)
Just a creed with you
Switching seats with you
Tears us apart
(I don't want it to)
What are we going to do?
I'd really like it if you
Turned out the lights as we planned
It's gonna hurt when we land
(I don't want it to)
Why did you go?
Lots of different reasons
So many, you can't even count
You think it's right
Jumping off the seesaw
Or do you just want it to be?

I was on my way, I swear
But I took a wrong turn there
For I zigged when I should have zagged
It's a sombre turn-out tonight in chemistry class
Tragedy in our park
Something happened in the dark
We brought raincoats and pretty charms
And I did remember this time to keep it inside
Then we kept the water still
On the broken window sill
For if not, we'd have to move
It is sweet outside
Where it seems magical
And if nothing works
We'll do nothing
I hope we're on time
And we shouldn't look at the sky
The perilous light
We were not allowed outside
And no-one could tell us why
I got worried, with shaky hands
So we said the words that we kept for worrying times
I was on my way, I swear
But I lost my way somewhere
And the trees were listening
From the sill is trickling water when the rain returns
We have our suspicions, thinking what my heart confirms
It is sweet outside
Where it seems magical
And if nothing works
We'll do nothing
Save yourself tonight
Asleep in the dark
I hope we're on time
. . .

Sometimes I've got nothing to say
Nothing to sing about
That makes you lie awake
Sometimes I've got nothing to do
Nothing to signal out
When I can't be with you
How should I hold this girlfriend
As tight as I ever could?
Now, why should I?
No reason why
You wore me down
Worse did I show
Show me something good
Show me something
Sometimes I am nowhere to be found
If it is just a bed
Then why the ringing sound?
Sometimes we've got nowhere to be
Nothing to talk about
And nothing to agree on
How should I hold this girlfriend
As tight as I ever could?
Now, why should I?
No reason why
You wore me down
Worse did I show
. . .

I wanted you to be at home
I wanted you to be at home
Could you foresee a day?
You might not play?
I wanted you to be at home
I wanted you to be at home
Could you foresee a day?
You might not play?
I wanted you to be at home
Silas and Bo, they got tired
And they'll call you once a week
‘Cause it's strange here
No dark career
They all say they long
To reach their sorrow now
That's gone
I wanted you to be at home
I wanted you to be at home
Could you foresee a day?
You might not play?
I wanted you to be at home
I wanted you to be at home
Could you foresee a day?
You might not play?
They took us in to see their new apartment
Thinking we're slow and that our love is mean
We'll leave the green green
‘Cause maybe we'll get out somehow
No-one thought of it
We didn't know we'd seen their last show
Silas and Bo, they got tired
And they'll call you once a week
‘Cause it's strange here
No dark career
They all say they long
To reach their sorrow now
That's gone
And you – no dark career
They all say they long
To reach their sorrow now
That's gone
And you – no dark career
They all say they long
To reach their sorrow now
That's gone
And you – no dark career
They all say they long
To reach their sorrow now
That's gone

You drew me cartoons so playful
(Did you run away?)
I'm stuck now, I'll carry light in a while
I'm stuck now that I'm carried white to the side
(Memories drown)
And you drew me cartoons so playful
Nobody's gone tonight
You drew me cartoons
You watch it, they way you're always keeping score
You keep in store, you keep it
I'm not you – what a waste, me
When you give all you got and there's already made plans
Put your hand in mine
We will go skating
On the thinnest ice that we can find
It takes me summer to say
It takes me winter in a day
Honestly, see
They're like you and me
Frozen when we start
We cannot help it
Easy to discard, taken apart
Put your hand in mine
We will go skating
On the thinnest ice that we can find
Tonight I'm watching the sky
The creatures you drew
They remain alive
The cushion's lighter
And what do you want?
Is this what happens to us now?
Sunk beneath the sea
That's no way to be
What came over me?
Drawn and held with you
This is what we do
We are weaving wounds
(94)
I'm a let you know
And just saying won't make it so
(Macramé)
I'm a say the words
In cemented ears they are heard
Would you like to be a crease in parasols?
Did I need to know? A wound in macramé
Through all this we decipher!
And what's worse: we're no wiser!

No more stories (no more stories...)
Are told today (told today...)
I'm sorry (I'm sorry...)
They washed away (washed away...)
No more stories (no more stories...)
The world is grey (world is grey...)
I'm tired (I'm tired...)
Let's wash away (wash away...)

You know time goes by fast like rain
It swallows your every sound
From whisper to icy howl
You know time goes by fast like rain
It swallows your every sound
From whisper to icy howl
Good luck trying to be someone
If you make it then you've won
You'll grow up to be someone
I can't go without you
No, I need to have you
Have you met someone?
Have you touched the bottom?
The weather is like you
Third time's the charm
Like a dog it's breathing
They are just as lonely
And we all make mistakes once in a while
The weather is like you
Third time's the charm
Like a dog it's breathing
It was right beyond doubt
Things just didn't pan out
It's a movie set
It's a world constructed
I can't go without you
I'm a ghost to have you
Have you met someone?
Have you touched the bottom?
The weather is like you
Third time's the charm
Like a dog it's breathing
They are just as lonely
And we all make mistakes once in a while
The weather is like you
Here comes the charm
Like a dog it's breathing
They are just as lonely
And we all make mistakes once in a while
The weather is like you
The weather is like you

Two words a day – it seems a waste
Can we go on it into your place?
(Quick is the passing daylight)
And it's meant for you what is left of me
Is it on purpose you cannot see?
(What is the reason truly?)
We know you
And it's true, San Marie
We helped you get to be all rid of now
It's gone for good
Where vaccine Maria, fit Maria
Slowly searched the arch-less singing words
Don't worry, there were trips
See easy there were trips
Now I'm lost
You now have to find me
When you gotta bring it over
The feeling isn't over
And we can't create
(Still in your mind's eye)
And your retina is clouded
We made a joke about it
It was funny – kind of
We lost the plot
We plumb forgot
For all those tasking hours that stopped
(Quick is the passing daylight)
When your day is wrong
And it speaks to you
We know you're after some kind of truth
(What is the reason truly?)
We know you
And it's true, San Marie
We helped you get to be
Where vaccine Maria, fit Maria
Slowly searched the arch-less singing words
Don't worry, there were trips
See easy there were trips, now
Even when she has no wish for arms
When you gotta bring it over
The feeling isn't over
And we can't create
(Still in your mind's eye)
And your retina is clouded
We made a joke about it
It was funny – kind of
(Still in your mind's eye)
When you gotta bring it over
The feeling isn't over
And we can't create
That week you spent in the hospital
I was so scared you'd disappear
Did you know that?
We cope – it's to pieces now
The diligence of hope
And me – the worst kind of person
A person can be
Some prize!
But through your eyes I'm a wholly different size
Maybe we can make it together?

What they gonna do to me?
Just when I thought I'd be
Done with all the memories
She's calling me
Trouble in her family
What they gonna do to me?
Just when I thought I'd be
Letting go of every hope clawing me
Trouble in her family
Hey! Too dark to see
Take a chance and shimmy
No! Why does it have to be?
It's always you and me
Hey! Too dark to see
Take a chance and shimmy
No! Why does it have to be?
It's always you and me
What they gonna do to me?
Just when I thought I'd be
Done with all the memories
She's calling me
Trouble in her family
What they gonna do to me?
Just when I thought I'd be
Letting go of every hope clawing me
Trouble in her family
Hey! Too dark to see
Take a chance and shimmy
No! Why does it have to be?
It's always you and me
Hey! Too dark to see
Take a chance and shimmy
No! Why does it have to be?
It's always you and me
This is which we couldn't see
This is which we tried so hard finding
How our creased hearts binding
Pushes you again to never see your friends
To rip apart the lights of those
Whose love deprives you
And it's this in which we couldn't see
This is which we tried so hard finding
How our creased hearts binding
Pushes you again to never see your friends
To rip apart the lights of those
Whose love deprives you

No, don't cry for me
Celebrate el sueño
The way it operates
No, don't cry for me
Celebrate el sueño
The way it oughta be
Thinking about everything
Why did you stop?
You don't know what it's like
Isn't that how it goes
When you're lovesick?
Thinking about everything
Don't you know sometimes
When it feels like someone put a hex on you?
Well, I felt like that
I was blaming myself
I was cushioning my fall
Hold my arms back when they beat me
Leave me in the ditch when they kick me
Sever my limbs and deceive me
Sometimes life isn't easy
Here we go, here we go
I'm surprised in you
Here we go home
Beside you
And like you
I'm lost in your doubt
Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling
Hold my arms back when they beat me
(I promise you)
Dont you know sometimes
When you can't see no end to the tricks we play?
Sometimes life isn't easy
Here we go, here we go
I'm surprised in you
Here we go home
Beside you
And like you
I'm lost in your doubt
Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling
Safety net, I regret
I am shaky
(We know you are)
I am shaking
Safety net, I regret
I am shaky
(We know you are)
I am shaking

Lift your head
Don't forget you are loved
Lift your head
Don't forget you are loved
Lift your head
Don't forget you are loved
Lift your head
Don't forget you are loved
Hang on to me
That'll be the first words that you learn
Listen child and believe them till you die
Not long for me
For you see, the dreamers have all grown
And I so wanted children of my own
