I wish that I could be a little bit softer
And I wish that I could be a little bit smaller
To fit inside your hands
And I wish that I could be a little bit lighter
A little bit brighter

I am organizing my life at three in the morning
At three in the morning I am
Drawing out the night sky at three in the morning
And I can barely see out my own eyes
Maybe it's a warning
There's no need for mo(u)rning
'Cause the days have come and gone
At least I have some proof this is coming along
I'm obsessing about my life at three in the morning
At three in the morning I am
Drawing out my whole life at three in the morning
And I can barely sing but I'll still try at three in the morning
I'm losing my mooring
And when I am really gone
There's still a chance that you'll be humming along
I'm obsessing about my life
But I can't organize my life
So I am drawing out the night sky
But I can't see out of my own eyes
When all of this is gone
Will you still be humming along?

I'm sitting here three blocks from the avenue
Outside where the street has started to bloom
And I feel so so so so small
My body is stiff but my tongue's too loose
They pass me a spliff but I lace up my shoes
'Cause I'd like like to keep my feet on the ground tonight
If that's alright
And maybe things will get better
Maybe things will get better
By the end of the night
I found you alone in a room down the hall
With stacks of books
(I'm sure you've read them all)
And the lights start dimming
('cause this house is a mess)
I slowly approached and I reached out my hand
You stood up and your eyes said that you had a plan
To get out of here
And see everything we can
See everything we can
By the end of the night
So we took a car to the ocean but we couldn't stop here
Every single location on this tiny sphere
Had something we wanted to see
Mile marker 41's where we end here
I'm simply glad that the sky stayed clear
If only my car didn't stop shifting gears
"But we gotta keep going, right?"
Well I'm nearly broke but I'll spend what I have on you
And I'm surrounded by fire
But what else is new?
Man, I try so so so so hard to keep my cool
Maybe things will get better
Maybe now things are better
And I feel alright
Alright

Spacesuit

This is the year I was born
Pulled from the ground
Roots rinsed off and torn
Now I'm exploring
And learning how to use my two hands
Knuckles blue like the sky
And I cried knowing you were leaving
Even though you are not gone
We still sing in perfect harmony
To our favorite song
A choir angel who traded her robe
A choir angel who traded her robe
For a spacesuit
A bird they cannot contain
You said the greatest birds are ones set free
To sing among the trees
Meadowlark,
When you come home
Rest your head upon me
And sing to me
The stories of the things you've seen
A firebird who traded her woes
A firebird who traded her woes
For something new
I hope the south treats you well my dear
I know how you get this time of year
Brain and body chills will disappear
Soon replaced with paperbacks
My choir angel who traded her robe
My choir angel who traded her robe
My choir angel who traded her robe
My choir angel who traded her robe
For a spacesuit

So many times I'd make up rhymes
But I still don't know the words to say
And so many times I'd make you mine
But I do not know the words to say
'Cause even "I want you" sounds so strange
And even "I love you" sounds so plain
And even "I want you" sounds so strange
And even "I love you" sounds so plain"

Anywhere

Your father will sew us a sail
And my mother will inhale and pray to the lord
That her daughter is walking on water
A refraction of light
On our bedroom floor
A reaction just might be the thing we're looking for
And up in the tallest of trees
Over mountains and meadows and streams
Is the most beautiful view this world has ever seen
An explosion of blue and green
Just like you and me
And I will go
I will go anywhere with you

When a wildfire catches the wind
It grows
Air fills up its lungs
It is simply trying to breathe
Sometimes they set you
Where you don't fit
Sometimes they set you
Where you don't fit
You have to burn your own way
When a wildfire catches the wind
It grows
Air fills up its lungs
It is simply trying to breathe
Sometimes they set you
Where you don't fit
Sometimes they set you
Where you don't fit
You have to burn your own way
I'm a wildfire
I'm a wildfire

I can finally breathe again
So I'll be bold and daring like I promised to
Yeah I'll stay bold and daring like I promised you
