Blue Jeans

Kitchen Floor at night
Slow dancing in the living room
River walking, true talking
Eating mandarins outside, sun setting
Juice dripping, sky gazing
My words meant something to you
With high places
Car races, race course tower, picking flowers
Tree sap on my favourite jeans
Blue jeans
And the cycle of needing repeating
But it was not enough

Why Don't You Hate Me?
04:55
|

Breakups are better in someone else's song
'Cause when they're over you can carry on
It's not yet for me is it real for you at all?
I guess I won't even know what you're thinking anymore
You hold me and tell me everything will be ok
Meanwhile I wanna rip my skin off
You look at me as I look away
All my indecision was in your face
'Why don't you hate me?'
'It's better if you hate me', you said
Life before you was a lifetime ago
The only thing the same was my name
We always talked it through honestly
Maybe we talked it through a little too much
Yeah we laughed, but mostly we cried
It seemed there was more to cry about
I cannot blame you for all the tragedy
I think sometimes I tried to
You really should hate me
Yeah you should hate me
Why don't you hate me?
Maybe you do
It's not the death we were gunnin' for
I wish it was those bloody parasites
Don't know what to do in any way at all
At least with you some things made sense
But what about this disposable sitting on my bookshelf?
So many happy pictures of you that no one's ever seen (maybe I'll keep it that way)
It's like the song I wrote about photos of friends
Except this time I know there was real love
This time I know there was real love
But some times real love feels like dying
Like dying (maybe you do)
Like dying (maybe you do)
Like dying (yeah we all do)

The City
03:37

Growing up is easy
It's looking back that's hard
And looking forward is impossible
But life keeps happening and
None of it feels real
A daily choice to live as though alive
I'm just lost here in the city
I'm without a home to call my own
What am I to do now?
Oh give me an anchor for my wayward soul
But you, you cut the pretence out
You're everything that's real
Truly human in the best of ways
And you're an eagle up there
I bet your Dad would say that too
You see beauty in the small things
We're just out here in the city
I never thought it'd be this way
The clouds out here look much more pretty
Because here I watch them with you
I have no idea what to do
But you are an anchor for my wary soul

The Sun and Rain and You
05:11

This one's like the rain
Loud and in my brain
Wash me clean and make me into something new
Something more like you
It's true I'm scared
I've been talking about this fear with friends
I wear it like a badge
Why do I do that?
Well last night I worked it out
It's true I'm scared of you, I'm scared of this whole damn thing
But most of all, I'm scared I'm just like everyone else
Take me on
Show me that I'm not above feeling like this
Take me on
Show me that I don't deserve this emptiness
It seems the sun won't shine if you're not here
And I need the sun to grow
That much I do know
Well last year I thought I'd die
In fact I never even thought I'd make it to 21
But now I've got this whole life ahead of me
And I don't know what to do
I guess I'll take it on
Daily throw away the things that turn to stone
Take it on
Learn to love with grace the way that I've been shown
I'll take it on
See the beauty in this life and life alone
I'll take it on
With the sun and rain and you I know I'll grow

A Movie Scene
05:59
|

Tea that tastes like butter on bread
You and I in red
We talked for hours
And then we left
The next time that I saw you we ate food
Before you left, I told you I liked you
You rode your bike on home
I drove on to a festival
To play my songs for people I don't know
Then we met at your old stompin' ground
To walk and talk and walk and talk and walk
We felt the wind on our skin
And threw rocks at things
We watched the sun set over the city from afar
And talked of past love and our future fears
I said, 'I'm scared that I'll let you down
Scared that I'll leave another hole in your heart'
Over dinner you pieced your life together for me
Told your story
Your eyes damp and alive
A movie scene
And I fear that I'll break your heart
Do you fear you'll break mine?
And I'm scared that I'll let you down
Scared that I'll leave
