Odd Melodies
04:00

The hilltops are golden, her irises shine
And she's wrapped in a sweatshirt that used to be mine
The evening's approaching, she's tending a fire
As she softly sings songs, sounds as sweet as a choir
Oh sweet harmony, you only took the best of me
And you somehow made a perfect sheath
For these two odd melodies
We hop in the car destination who knows
Without exploration there's nowhere to go
We end up by the ocean and sit on the hood
Pass a joint back and forth, cause it makes us feel good
Oh sweet harmony, you only took the best of me
And you somehow made a perfect sheath
For these two odd melodies

Wild

The stars just gave their all tonight, the Milky Way stretched out across the sky like fireflies
Following the shifting light, poetry that I could never write
We'll be alright
Are we wild or are we broken
Freer than I've ever felt before
And we think we know the way, think we learned from yesterday
We gaze across the barren land, hoping it might help us understand
it feels so grand
All our dreams and all our plans seem to bend to life's demands
And on the other hand
Are we really thinking clearly, is emptiness born out of our desires
Still we think we know the way, though we're scared enough to say
The thunderclouds have gone away, I'm glad we weren't home today
We're on our way back to where we fell in love,
now and then it's been enough
It's been enough

Up on the Fence

So where's that old dirt road you promised me
One evening as we laid across your bed
Please don't forget even a single falling leaf
How beautifully it drifts down to your head
Innocence will leave without a word
Every day just blurs into the next
Leaving feels so strange but Lord, it's nothing I can change
Odds are by now you're somewhere headed West
Usually 'bout now you'd say, I wonder how it slips away
Is anybody picking up these signs
Sensible as sense is seeming, I'm up on the fence believing
Everything is gonna turn out fine
Blindness has its benefits from time to time
Open hearts may let some darkness through
No one stays unscathed and who you were gets rearranged
Some days the only light I know is you
Usually 'bout now you'd say, I wonder how it slips away
Is anybody picking up these signs
Sensible as sense is seeming, I'm up on the fence believing
Everything is gonna turn out fine
Take a chance at cheap romances, understand your circumstances
Realign designs that just aren't working anymore
Once upon a time was nothing more than empty rhymes
Maybe picket fences need a door
So where's that old dirt road you promised me
One evening as we laid across your bed
Please don't forget even a single falling leaf
How beautifully it drifts down to your head

Back in June

You looked like a ray of sunlight that day
Golden as you walked away
And I'm trailing behind, I get lost in my mind
Directions are so hard to find
Will you walk with me, 'til we're both 83
And our engines are running on fumes
When the sun's getting low, with your eyes all aglow
And the air is alive with perfume
I'll be seeing you so soon, you said back in June
Well all money can buy, it's not worth your eyes
Diamonds of incredible size
And all the scars on your skin, they just mean you've lived
A roadmap of places you've been
Will you hold my hand as we watch all our plans
Fall apart right in front of our feet
Guess that's just how it goes, it's the life that we chose
At least we're not stuck on repeat
I'll be seeing you so soon, you said back in June
Will you walk with me, 'til we're both 83
And our engines are running on fumes
When the sun's getting low, with your eyes all aglow
And the air is alive with perfume
I'll be seeing you so soon, you said back in June
