Heat Wave

you said I swept you off your feet
but it mighta been the heat
I know I felt replete
as we lay on tangled sheets
In a heat wave
smoke haze
you said it felt just like a dream
then you kept showing up on my screen
I let it mean to much to me
gave it weight you couldn't keep
out of phase
summer daze
it had been to long for me
all my senses atrophied
when you walked right through my walls
I got ready to take the fall
underwater
shooting stars
I guess you didn’t see
the impending intensity
of getting close to one like me
I don’t know how else to be
warm rivers
midnight shivers
I don’t want to
pretend I don’t want you
but you don’t want me to
feel tied to you
time gets heavy
when things get messy
I move slowly
I’m not ready
to close the door
cut the cord
you said I swept you off your feet
but it mighta been the heat

Addicted

I stole your lighter the last time you came to me
you were charming my mother and I couldn't deal
so I hid behind my house and I smoked your tobacco
a habit I'd given up more than five years ago
now I carry that lighter and smoke when I think of you
alone in my tiny world feeling so blue
you smashed your head the last time you came in me
you were drunk maybe stoned and trying to feel free
your addicted to the sensory and your own intensity
like a moth to a flame you saw in me the same
but I was already attaching to the stains on my sheets
laughing and crying you know it's the same release
you couldn't look at me the last time I saw you
you were out with your mother and you couldn't deal
so I went outside and I lit another cigarette
and composed a dozen letters to you in my head
I knew if I asked them that you wouldn't answer
alone in your tiny world feeling so free
you came on so strong
when I caught up you were gone
you can't hold it
you don't want it
it's not that your not worth it
or that I think you don't deserve it
you just don't want it
you can't hold it
just admit babe
you don't want it
you can't hold it

Who are you to talk so pretty
About all the ways you’ve been a lover
Then turn around and tell me
You’ve got no room for any other
Who are you to shine so bright
And hide the coming storm
All the shadows in your light
Waiting to take form
Who are you to give so freely
Of something that I hold so close
And just as I begin to loosen my grip
You cut my loose
Who are you to so dismantle
My carefully constructed cage
In which I need no other others love or rage
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you to walk so calmly
Along your chosen path
And leave me scrambling for my footing
In the rubble of truths aftermath
Who am I to play with fire
In a world that’s burning up
Who am I to be ashamed
Of reaching for the sun
Who are you
I wanted to know
How fare we could go
Who are you
How far we could go
