Together & alone.

lyrics

We move into a big blue house
Where we are told the ocean
Is 16 miles away
But must be closer
'Cuz we can taste the salt
Sat upon the tippy top of our tongues
And feel as it slides into our lungs

You stay across the hall from me. On the very top floor
You don't say much. You hula-hoop barefoot on the front lawn
And ride your bike without a helmet on
The booze, I'm sure you smell it on my breath -
At dawn. When I'm on the phone
You travel everywhere alone, you saddle up
You're there you're gone
You seem to disappear at will. A bleeding stone
Is where your heart should be
So how can you remind me so of me?

--
You move out of a big blue house
And settle down the street
In a co-operative
I guess it's pretty neat
But we should stay in touch! I think you have my number saved
In your phone and you can text me anytime you feel
Alone
I really like to watch movies so if you're ever bored you can call me and I'll bring over my hard drive
And I like to make music so if you wouldn't mind let me play you some and hope you think it's cool
I'm working at a grocery store
And what about you? Did you say your teaching Spanish at a school?
Or not quite that? But close enough, right?

Tonight I'm feeling sorta weird and I would really like your company
Most people that I meet don't really seem to care at all...

--
And now we're here
It's been a year of synchronicities awashed in inconsistencies
The pollen in the breeze
A million bees survive an ice storm. But I can't name one plant
Something's coming tumbling
I can't ignore the rumbling beneath my sneakers anymore

--
I met you in a big blue house
But I don't really know you
And I don't know if it's possible
The darkness below you
Is opening it's mouth
And finally waking up
The birds head south
The earth breaks up

But I won't run away again
The blinking eye of every storm
The universes locked within
The virgin dark where I was born
Are screaming out your name to me
And though I'll never understand
I don't think it's designed to be
I think that when I hold your hand it's right
And it's enough to be together alone

Together and alone together and alone together and alone together and alone together and alone together and alone together and alone together and alone etc
