Indigo Days

we all have days
where we're blue
and pink and green and yellow too
and I think
that's okay
because they're things we just can't cutaway
but I'll admit
that I miss
the days that you were here
and the end wasn't so near
oh I miss the indigo days
when we'd sit and watch the sunset from the bay
but they've come and gone like the holidays
and I've only got myself to blame.
back in those days
I knew you
you were
red and blue and purple too
and as for me
I was grey
I know that's why you didn't ant to stay
but I'll admit
I was blind
and the colors that you gave me
they were never mine
oh I miss the indigo days
they're engraved in my mind I'm their slave
but I guess you weren't mine to save
and I've only got myself to blame
red and blue and purple too
all the colors of the rainbow
and I can't have you.

Renaissance Woman

Well she's a renaissance woman
And she's my best friend
She's got eyes of a charmer and a painter's hand
She's got an ace up her sleeve
And some tricks in her mind
If you don't pick her up quick
Shell leave you behind
She's a renaissance woman
Ill keep her
Cause they're hard to find
She's a fine little lady
But don't get it mixed up
She's got secrets that she keeps and she'll set you up
She's got fire in her blood
And some bridges to burn
If you try and play with her
She'll make sure you learn
She's a renaissance woman
Ill keep her
Cause they're hard to find
Yeah she's a renaissance woman
But she's got a soft spot
She's got a solid gold facade but it's all a cover up
She's as sweet as pleasant spring
And as soft as can be
Even a night of liquor
Won't help you forget her
She's a renaissance woman
Ill keep her
She's a renaissance woman
She's an angel
She's a renaissance woman
Behind a devil
She's a renaissance woman
Ill keep her
Cause they're hard to find

Well
I'm the writer and you're the muse.
I'm the purple but you're the shades of blue.
I'm midnight and you're the stars.
I can love you forever, even from this far.
Hold your breathe and count to ten
There's splinters in our skin
But we're far from the end.
Pages of paper and no words can be said
To tell you that I need you more
than you'll ever understand.
Well
I'm the pianist but your the composer.
I'm the start of the show, but you're the closer
I'm the stranger, but you're the one who knows her.
I'd never change you for the way things were.
Hold your breathe and count to ten
I'll hold your hand as the line runs thin.
Endless winters will always express
The worst side of the things, but still I digress
I hold it deep inside
the thought that we can survive
And if forever exists
I want it with you, if you'll permit.
Because I'm the pen but you're the ink
I'm the prophecy but you're the fulfillment
I'm lost in the dark but you're the guiding star
But I'll never forget how you make me laugh
Or the mark on your cheek from a childhood mishap
I'll never forget how you make me
Or the constellation of freckles I wanna trace out faintly
Because you can take all I'd ever have.
But I'm still gonna love you til the end.
Take all I could ever have.
But I'm gonna love you.
You will be all I ever have.
I'm gonna love you.
You can take all I have ever had,
But I'm gonna love you.

17
That just
Isn't me
I'm just
A lovely kid
Wondering
Who I'm meant to be.
17
That just
Wasn't me
It just
Cannot be
That I'm growing up.
B3cause at this point in my life
I'm still stuck behind textbooks and hopeless love life's
Because at this point in my life
I'm a novel with pages torn and no pen to write
Photo books
and my
toothless looks
and our
family
Grown up from old memories
Expectations
And new
Destinations
And some
Old friends
Thinking
It just Cannot be.
Because at this point in my life
I'm still stuck behind summer and endless bike rides
At this point in my life
I'm blindsided by the moment.
How can I be 16
And feel the nostalgia of someone much older than me?
Is this what it feels to be
17?
Or am I lost
Looking into the future
Am I gone?
I'm blindsided by the moment
And that's causing me to force it
And it just Cannot be
That I'm almost 17.

Vacuum Theories

Hurry hurry
The plane is falling from the sky
And my body is glued to the ground on which I lie
Hurry hurry
The boat is coming down the waterway
But the bridge is closed there's no signal to say
The earth
Well it stopped spinning
And my brain
It's got vacuum theories
And if the world ends this very night
Keep them locked up safe and tight
Cause I've got vacuum theories
And im doing alright
Don't you worry
The flames are blurring
And the winds of tonight will let them die
Don't your worry
They'll be gone in a hurry
Until then we'll get through the days of dreary
Cause the earth
It stopped spinning
And my brain
It's got these vacuum theories
And if the world ends this very night
Keep them locked up safe and tight
Cause I've got vacuum theories
And im doing alright
Yeah if the world ends this very night
We'll all be alright
Cause I've got these vacuum theories
Telling me that this is
Well this is life

Well this is the end isn't it
yeah it is
Wow can't you see how far we've come
Past the dirt roads and streets filled with mud
Damn (goddamn)There's still miles to go
But don't hit the gas either, let's take it slow
Let's take a stop
and watch the sunset before it drops
Eventually we'll get somewhere
We want to be
But for now let's bathe in warm red seas
And watch the sun come down upon our misery
Wow look at all we've left behind
All the good and bad days all intertwined
Damn (goddamn) but there's still sights left to see
In the end it's the future, not the past that we seek
Let's take a stop
and watch the sunset before it drops
Eventually
We'll get somewhere
We want to be
But for now let's bathe in warm red seas
And watch the sun come down upon our misery
Eventually
We'll have nowhere
We have to go
SO for now let's get through our tasks
And then we'll run away and sing together at last
OoOoOOoOoooO
Eventually
Eventually
Soon could never come soon enough
But eventually
We'll be in luck
But for now let's bathe in warm red seas
And watch the sun come down upon our misery
We've got a long ways ahead
But eventually
There'll be no looking back.
We'll tie up all we left undone
As for loose ends we'll leave none
Oh eventually
We'll find love.
Oh eventually
We'll find love
Oh I'm counting on you
MY eventualities
