All that I knew of love before now
Was a bad dream left inside the train
December came to your door
And all I ever asked for
Was a ride to this city
And I moved there and
There began a lovetree
All my mistakes
And that one month where it was hard for me to say
I need you
I might need you
Paris, New Orleans
You’ve got my heart and
You can drive me car and
I never knew home
So un-teach me let go
I never knew love so, love
The hills we walked down
Redwood forest ground
We talk over red wine
And I’m feeling just fine
Last month on the plane
And Berlin in the rain
You showed me San Francisco
San Francisco and
Paris, New Orleans
You’ve got my heart and
You can drive me car and
I never knew home
So un-teach me let go
I never knew love so, love
Oh how it feels to come home

Written By: Imaginary Friend
Late in June, everybody seemed to leave the room
And you were all I saw
A bolt in love
On the bridge, hiding where the water never hit
You told me not to try
And I knew why
But you came around
It was hard enough to talk you down
Was it worth the toll
Or was it too much for the role?
It comes and goes
Before you know
It comes and goes
And Paris knows
I replay everything I said to you that day
And I was wrong from the start
And that’s what’s hard
But you always knew
It was never love to you
We would leave alone
We would live in separate homes
Oh, it comes and goes
Before you know
It comes and goes
And Paris knows
Oh
Oh

Your Love

We might be staying here too long
Singing the same song
Green eyes are bringing me to the edge
Bring me to the edge
And theyre so open to my ways
On a Tuesday
How you heard I had a bad day
And drove from 3121 Clydeplace just to say
Your love your love your love your love oh
Ill take Ill take Ill take my time so
Your love you love your love your love oh
Your love will follow me
And I want to be the melody that’s in your soul
The one that drifts in and falls asleep
Only to wake at your heart beating
And I want to be the daydream inside your head
How we danced and all the words we said
So easily
And if somehow oh if somehow oh if somehow
You lose your words
Ill help you find your way because
Your love your love your love your love oh
Ill take Ill take Ill take my time so
Your love you love your love your love oh
Your love will follow me
La la la la

How Did We Kiss
04:09

Oh how you made me so nervous and pulled me to
I cant slow down
And all that I knew was your name and a daydream
And I felt like yours
The whole month of July it took me
To give you my number so nervously
And Ill race you down
To the topic of love
And oh
That was the night that I was falling for you
How did we kiss shaking the way that we loved
Love, love, love, oh my
Love, love, love, love
And Oh in the way that you worried so early
That I was leaving
And oh how you made it so hard to go
I remember waking up that Thursday morning
Caught up in the way that the world was pouring
Your name on mine
And oh in the way that I walked home
Going directly to my phone
Just to tell somebody all about you
And oh
That was the night that I was falling for you
How did we kiss shaking the way that we loved
Love, love, love, oh my
Love, love, love, love
And on the way out
I meant to say wont you stay
On the plane ride now
And on the way out
I meant to say wont you stay
On the way home now
Can you hear me now?

Providence

We talked of love breaks
I meant to tell you wait
I never meant to leave in time to get back home to Providence
I lost you on the phone
I lost you way before
I remember playing tag
And letting you catch me
Providence in the dark
I’m gonna start the truck now just to be pretending that I’m coming home
I’m gonna put the seat back just to be pretending you were there before
You were there before
Never thought id be here saying goodbyes here in such an empty house
Something about the minute hand and your hand makes me want to leave this town
So I’ll go back to the boardwalk one last time
And lay there in the paint silhouette where you first traced my lines
Let’s talk about the road
That bloomed with sunflowers dead in the summer
And all our friends knew to find us
Drive up and down up and down
I drew a tight rope from Atlantic to the back of my house
I drew the words I love you
I drew them in the dirt in the dirt
I’m gonna start the truck now just to be pretending that I’m coming home
I’m gonna put the seat back just to be pretending you were there before
You were there before
We talked of love breaks
I meant to tell you wait
I never meant to leave in time to get back home to Providence

All You Gave
03:58

You know it’s bad
When you have to go to sleep
Just to feel safe inside a dream
Oh you know it’s hard
Letting someone in
I could say it twice
And again
All you gave to me was love
And all you gave to me was love
All you gave to me was love
All you gave to me was love
Flowers on the stand
Coffee by the bed
You didn’t understand
When I turned my head
Oh I apologize for timing
I shouldn’t have held you hand
Until mine were clean
All you gave to me was love
And all you gave to me was love
All you gave to me was love
All you gave to me was love
Lay your hands on mine slowly
Lay them on let’s wake up
Oh the way you said that all the lighting changed
Right when you heard my name
Right when I felt the same
And all the words all the words that we spoke
And all the silly pep talks we’d give each other
When we were broke
All you gave to me was love
And all you gave to me was love
All you gave to me was love
All you gave to me was love

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there.
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think its strange you never knew
A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then it's smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think its strange you never knew
I think its strange you never knew

Ooh, youve got me looking at the sunrise
In a nighttime sky
Somehow found it in your eyes
And ooh, why are we talking about tomorrow?
When we’re Nighttime doves
Teaching loving to this town
And ooh I walked like left, right, right
Stumbling in your sight
Cross my fingers when I dont smile
And ooh you’ve got me wishing for a cold night
Call you up real late
Then I’ll see you in time
And ooh let’s talk some more about tomorrow
Because we’re nighttime doves
Teaching loving to this town

Uh Oh

46th day of love I saw you there
On the street for the second time that week
And your eyes are the best thing
Of my winter so far
You're so far
You left to see your brother
For modernism week
In a town of sunshine and sidewalks
And oh all our long talks
How we laughed and
Uh oh, Uh oh
Its been so long since
Uh oh, Uh oh
Make me want to
Write it all down
How we laugh and
Uh oh, uh oh
I liked laying on my bed
Thinking about the things you said
And all the words
And maybe even just the words
Like ‘piano’ and ‘people’ that ‘worry’
This is where I apologize
That my hearts in such a hurry
Uh oh, Uh oh
Its been so long since
Uh oh, Uh oh
Make me want to
Write it all down
How we laugh and
Uh oh, uh oh
Uh oh, Uh oh
Its been so long since
Uh oh, Uh oh
Make me want to
Write it all down
How we laugh and
Uh oh, uh oh

Glow In The Dark

I met you
Corner of Asbury Avenue
Middle of May
Sky the deepest blue
Do you believe in weather changing our mold?
My palm shape of yours, left side walking me home
Do you know that your heart glows in the dark
Do you know that your heart glows in the dark
Im watching your lips move and talk of inferior love
Perfection philosophy and love has to grow to stay
Greeks never called themselves Greeks anyway
When did it become cool to think of the alphabet as an acronym list
If so my fingertips are standing for all of yours
Do you know that your heart glows in the dark
Do you know that your heart glows in the dark
