Comforter 03:34
Autumn breezes nip your toes With your lids closed the wind still blows Ragged bedding getting frayed Doesn’t make you any warmer but it’s too cold to throw away And your comforter's so comfortable though you know Any real blanket doesn’t have any holes But what will comfort you when you lose your comforter? You’ve had that blanket for so long And a new one won’t feel the same Microfibre feels so wrong Running colors / scraggily threads Don’t tug on em too hard / just stay in bed Remember stuffing? It’s the shit between the two sewn-together sheets Now it’s all clumped in the corner weighing down your feets And your comforter's so comfortable though you know Any real blanket doesn’t have any holes But what will comfort you when you lose your comforter? You’ve had that blanket for so long And a new one won’t feel the same Microfibre feels so wrong
2.
Meteorology 02:55
It looked like rain filled the clouds Liquid acquiescence / waiting to come down I can’t explain how you stopped the rain I used to put my faith in meteorology, droplets forming in the air Then your beaming smile and your sunshine hair spun the vane with one look at me I thought the rain owned the clouds Destined aqueous / fated to come down I can’t explain how you stopped the rain
3.
When I begin to let you in again and treat you fair I draw a line but you’re inclined to cross it without care But I’ve learned from my time on the outside that I shouldn’t bend So pack your bags and hit the tracks and don’t come back again I stood aside to let you by and walk away for good But you intend to amend what I thought we both understood But I’ve learned from my time on the outside that I shouldn’t bend So pack your bags and hit the tracks and don’t come back again I’ve been alone so long, waitin’ Wantin’ you, but not like this In the flesh, you’re aggravatin’ All I want’s to reminisce Nothing you articulate can satiate my needs I much prefer the version of you stuck inside my dreams But I’ve learned from my time on the outside that I shouldn’t bend So pack your bags and hit the tracks and don’t come back again So pack your bags and hit the tracks and don’t come back again
4.
Simple Rules 01:57
Why can’t love have simple rules or even just some rules Why’d you make me feel so good just to take it all away Why’s love made of fog and dust and how’d it get that way? How’d it get that way? If you turned your eyes at me the way you did before I wouldn’t again let myself fall If you turned your eyes once more I’d fall onto the floor I’d give what I could and take it all Why can’t love have simple rules or even just some mother fucking rules Why’d you make me feel so good just to take it all away Why’d you make me feel so good just to take it all away
5.
No One Else 03:27
There’s no one else I need like you There’s no one else I need like you I know my desperation makes me a fool But there’s no one else I need like you The tips of morning creep along / the night has long since left Chirping birds make you stir and turn to clasp my chest Sunlight dashes flutter lashes filtered between blinds They rouse you from your slumber, opening your eyes There’s no one else I need like you There’s no one else I need like you I know my desperation makes me a fool But there’s no one else I need like you Now my bed’s empty, curtains drawn; nothing even rhymes Shadows replay memories we never could define Nothing lasts forever; I should have seen the signs I didn’t listen yesterday; now yesterday isn’t mine There’s no one else I need like you There’s no one else I need like you I know my desperation makes me a fool But there’s no one else I need like you
