Fallow

You threw it all away
Every beautiful thing we'd made
Stripped the bed where we both lay
And left me here waking all alone
Now I need something new to grow
Out of all this land I've left fallow
I'll just give the sun some time
It's ok, it's alright, my heart's alive
I never meant to lay you low
Just needed some time alone
Lost myself in something beautiful
But beauty wasn't enough to bring me home
Now I need something new to grow
Out of all this land I've left fallow
I'll just give the sun some time
It's ok, it's alright, my heart's alive

When We Were Us

I was in a bad place, lost my comfort and my hope
So I sank inside myself, hurt everyone I know
You were my salvation and I hurt you anyway
Couldn't stand to watch you walk away
I could never stand to watch you walk away
There were nights we'd pull apart
Fighting over nothing in the endless dark
But as we laid our heads in bed
I was falling asleep when you said "I love you babe, and I hope you know"
In the end your love it had to go
in the end your love it had to go
Couldn't stand the sun alone
Feels as cold as lying in the rain you know
When we were us you save me from myself
The kind of dark thoughts that drag a man to hell
But all along those fears were waiting in the wings
You made room and then I let them in
You made room but it was me who let them in
When you told me you'd been waking next to him
I saw we'd never get back where we were again
Couldn't forget the feeling of you in my arms
Never thought love could bring such harm
I guess I tried to match you sin for sin
We both made our mistakes and I'm sorry for what I did
After the things I said I guess we're finally at the end

Weight of the Seasons

The sun must be feeling the weight now too
Of the changing seasons and the absence of you
Cause just like me he's been having trouble rising
Though he must know there's much yet to do
Maybe like me he's stuck remembering too
Those mornings in our room, his light broke over you
But you're not there anymore
It's getting late now, time to put the gardens to bed
I'll try not to remember all the things that you said
Or all those stupid little things we used to do
That probably never even meant that much to you
Like when we'd sit and listen to the radio
And talk about the bastards pretending to know more than they know
Oh, but for a while you made it alright
I used to hear your voice every single day
Never knew how much I'd miss hearing you say
You knew the world was falling apart even as we spoke
but you still had to feed your sourdough
You'd make us pancakes in the morning
While we'd talk about the future and how we'd both get through
Never thought I'd be facing it all without you

We fell in love over a bottle of whiskey and some dead poet
I was playing my old guitar on my friend's couch and it started snowing
We both said we had to go, you wanted to take me home, I thought I'd blown it
When I left you at the door to your car, said goodnight and walked home alone again
I loved you up and down
In bedrooms, on hillsides, through the snow and the summer
Never wanted for nothing more, thought I was put on this Earth just to be your lover
Now I'm feeling that sad, scared desperate kind of lonely
You don't write about in songs that other people might hear
Just wishing you might come back home to me, lay down on your side of the bed and whisper into my ear:
"We fell in love over a bottle of whiskey and some dead poet"
I wrote this on my new guitar to say you're not coming back now, and I guess I know it
