Walking by the coast You said you saw this in a dream Every aching boat Every patch of green As the sparrow spoke You lifted up your hands Said, “There must be a plan That brought us to the sea.”

“Bet we'll have a lot to say To the others when We return someday” You said, forty miles out August in the air And the windows down Thought we'd make it on our own Left our beds for the open road But We don't know where we are, where we are And the sky is getting dark, getting dark So we're sleeping in the car But we'll keep moving when the light is ours Yeah we'll keep moving when the light is ours Back then, thought we had the clue With your hand in mine And the golden rule But now we're in the space between All that we had hoped And what came to be Wrapped in your mother's clothes You said you thought you'd feel less alone But We don't know where we are, where we are And the sky is getting dark, getting dark So we're sleeping in the car But we'll keep moving when the light is ours Ooh ooh Yeah we'll keep moving when the light is ours (x5)

Nothing left to say As we drove away But Carolina hangs in a memory Said it was unkind But I meant it right And I’m still trying to fight for us Yeah it’s true We don’t know what to do As we wait For our arrival In a black hole Looking up I get away *Felt like water running through* And I pray *But what was it you thought I’d do?* Then you spoke out in paints And I kept drawing blanks Like I always do See I don’t know the reasons Lord I’m trying to be near them But I don’t want to walk out on you And is it what you wanted? Or is it what you needed? You look at me so fearfully I’m feeling so defeated Leave it alone Look if I knew what to say, I’d have said it last night I had a dream where I got it all right But everything gets caught in the writing And when I talk well I can’t seem to fit it in the timing I’m looking everyway that I shouldn’t And then I start to say things that I wouldn’t And still you’re looking all expectantly Like you only want the best of me And I don’t think I can be honest Sharing good things when I’ve got em But leaving no space for the problem I take it back I’m looking through a lock when you’re talking to me You turn the camera off and you pocket the key, Still, I’ll be here for the driving As long as you are there for the riding And when it’s all been told I always keep your old sweaters For cold weather So when I walk out I feel you Those four letters Aren’t forever I could wait For our arrival-- Old sweaters For cold weather So when I walk out I feel you Those four letters Aren’t forever I could wait For our arrival In a black hole I’m in a black hole I’m in a black hole In a black hole I’m in a black hole I’m in a black hole I could wait For our arrival In a black hole Looking up

If there's not much on her face It means she's thinking of what to say Eliza holds the weight Of her words so gracefully We rode out in the morning Thought we'd make it in a day With Eliza, in the summer Always trying to find a way In the evening, people came All their talking, dusty basement And Eliza couldn't stay She puts walls up when she needs them The look upon their faces now Like they don't remember when we left the ground Oh the beat of braking cars They need to be given, and taken apart She spoke up on the couch I'm not good with how you're acting Throwing all your pain around But I can't change at all if you won't say it all Is something wrong, why won't you be honest Was I not the friend you wanted In the sun the light is upon us Was I not the friend you wanted The look upon their faces now Like they don't remember when we left the ground Oh the beat of braking cars They need to be given, and taken apart Though we don't know what's been forgotten In the rivers to the north I'm trying to go back where we started In the rivers to the north Though we don't know what's been forgotten In the rivers to the north I'm trying to go back where we started In the rivers to the north

When the most high Met us here below Blessed shoulder blade You took off your clothes On the coast line I jumped in after you Thinking that every day Led to this afternoon And as you swim out Into the key of sea I charm the homonym As you hum the harmony And when you turn round I swear I saw you there And it felt like I was blind Till salt was in my hair And now, the best we can do Is waiting out the winter in the living room I pray the sun's coming soon You say isn't this so lovely too In the window I'm just passing time In the passive voice Trying to hook the past on a line But each I throw out Comes empty to the shore Can't catch Eliza's grace With a simple metaphor And now, the best we can do Is waiting out the winter in the living room I pray the sun's coming soon You say isn't this so lovely too To sit and watch the seasons move We were young once And we kind of are Riding passenger In the family car You turn the lights off Along a darkened road As I count the stars above And you wonder which leads home

On a state line the light’s turning red again And you’re in your head, sitting next to me I thought nighttime would make us feel permanent But then came the sun, unexpectedly In the day standing tall We got your mother’s call She said she needed you at home You just stared at your hand Holding a grain of sand You let it fall to your feet Then you said “Dance with me” And I did so willingly As lights on a radar screen Keep pulling away Just stay, and dance with me “Darling how in the hell will we work this out? When I need to go, but don’t want to leave” I don’t know, but I’ll turn the car back around If that’s what you’re asking me At the edge of the fall We still don’t know at all What we were setting out to do But is this how we should end To leave and come back again Without having made it to the sea? Then you said “Dance with me” And I did so willingly As lights on a radar screen Keep pulling away Just stay, and dance with me On a state line the light’s turning red again

My back’s to the wall The most bashful of us all Watching you step into the room And dance like an animal And God it makes me weak And God I need a drink To disregard the thoughts I think And just step out with you Well my old mind Would over analyze But I have made amends With the voices in my head And though I’ll always hear them I’m reaching out again Walking to your house And I’m staring at your mouth The string of words it’s speaking out Sounds like a parable And isn’t it a waste When mine don’t sound the same Oh all I think to say Is “can I come in with you?” See I still find I’m quick to criticize But I have made amends With the voices in my head And though I’ll always hear them I’m reaching for your hand All I know is that the night Isn’t ever wrong or right And I’ll stay with you Oh, for as long as you ask me to I sleep fine With Eliza at my side Waking in the morning She reaches for a pen

You tell me how You want to live A drop of water On your bottom lip You try hard To hide your needs You give to others And then take your leave And even when you want to stay Your feet will walk the other way You show me how Things could have been In constellations Shaping our end You stayed up To count my scars You trace your fingers As we lay in the dark See every time I needed change My feet stayed planted All the same As we sit here I ask for help To be with another And still be myself I guess all that I’m trying to say Is you and me could get away
