Groundhog Stomp

I'm a groundhog who needs a new job
Holding out hope
Like a slingshot
When I found you
I think I found God
Til I find you
I've gotta stay stay strong
Over the moon
Over the sun
I'll take you where you wanna go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to run
I'll meet you here tonight at dawn
I'm a groundhog
Who needs a new job
Holding out hope
Like a slingshot
When I found you
I think I found God
Til I find you
I've gotta stay strong
And I can hear the timber fall around me while you're gone
Is this real or just a mental shadow that I'm running from
A little boy put mittens on a twig to keep me warm
It's lovely how the little things can make me feel restored
Gonna leave this place and then
We can have a ton of kids
We can carve our own Eden
And we won't even care when winter ends
I'm a groundhog
Who needs a new job
Holding out hope
Like a slingshot
When I found you
I think I found God
Til I find you
I've gotta stay strong

It's okay
You can breathe
There's no one here but you and me
And loving's hard
When you can't live
But good things follow when you give
Yourself to time
And time to hope
When thinking's not enough I know that
I
Don't want to go back home
I don't want to go back home
Write my path
But walk it first
I'm choosing all your nasty curves
And winding straights
That block the breeze
Your heart beats warmer underneath
Because you know
The truth is there
Just boiling down between the stairs
To you a day
To them a year
Before you know it you'll be there
I don't wanna go back home

Mouse Traps

|
|

Underneath the glove
Are fingers clawing through the mud
To find the things they thought they've dropped
Before you found out what you've lost
And though the road is dry its slick
You hit the breaks, I hope they stick
Cause I let a million things pass by
And you let a thousand suck you dry
And though your stains and scars won't bend
I hope to God you understand
I took that break so you could land
I'm not sorry
You're not leaving
Me behind to squish your bee stings
Even when I'm down I'm not like you
California
Sarasota
Places I feel like exploding
I wanna be where I can't change my mind
The doctor told me you should get some sleep
It was their only cotton recipe
With fingers crackling from all the dust
You cannonballed the divan trundle cusp
With pictures, places, maps, ideas, and roads
That took you backwards where you want to go
To the basement attic of your car
I thought I saw you there but you're so far
Mouse traps
Taking a bit too long to last too long
To watch your lucky charms dry out
And swim across the the shore but
Now they're gone
They're gone away
And there's not much you can say
Besides the fact that things have changed
And I'm sorry that I've stayed the same
And if I see you there again
I hope we'll get along
Or just pretend

Octopus Spy

I don't mind the ideas and time that our space divides
Unorthodox and brazen
Like an octet-centric spy
Determining how fashionable it is between the grip
Of enemies with thumbless abolitionistic quips
A joke to end all jokes to end the fit to end all fits
If only it were easy
And I could lose my mind
WIthout Monday trying to find
In a place where walls are breathing
And I can't quite fight this feeling

I'm riding on a boat now
I feel like maybe we should go now
I'm veering further from the truth now
But I'm nearing closer to the shore now
If I could wake up where I'd want to
I'd fall asleep inside of your room
We'd stay together till it's past noon
Our style might soar and make the sun swoon
I think that I should probably stay
I think that I should probably stay

Now is the time
In a moment just a blink of my sky
Bright sunny flies
If the town can't find us
We can live like
Rats in a maze
Dripping Neptune
Polka patterns
You are my dream
In a second's notice I can be there
Walk
Hand in poems
Corrective glasses
Field recordings
If you need some help I've got your back
I don't wanna go
So tell me I don't have to go
And I don't wanna know
So tell me I don't have to know
And if the girl is where she is
Then maybe I'm not where I should
And if the blueprint's all mixed up
Then maybe the plan's misunderstood

How will the world bend around
When I'm glued to the ground
Of this old motel
And why are we in such a jam
Do I fuck up your plans
When I can't think straight enough
How can I be a better person?
I try, but I don't know if I'm worth it
Stay just another moment longer
You make my world feel so much softer

Wake Up Mr. Jones

Wake up Mr. Jones
You might be late
It may not be your birthday
But you're missing out on cake
She counts the lady bugs inside a train
She's accidently perfect
And I can hardly wait
To see your soothing optimistic face
And hold you close and tell you that we go together great
There's a void I've learned
I can't heal with art
Engulfed in all my doubts when we're apart
Wish upon your bookshelf that you'll change
Cause every thought's a notion that you're trying hard to break
And waking up's a miracle parade
Don't listen to your doubts because your fate is yours to claim
