Seattle 01:54
i was thinking about the good day you wished me i was thinking about your songs on the road i was devising a plan i could get you to like me i was startled at how you remind me of home so i thought of you while up in seattle and how i think you would laugh if we were caught in the rain and how i know you would catch me if i tripped in the gravel you're a new person but the feeling's the same rain rain go away come again another day it's ironic that the sky is gray but this is where i'm happy rain rain where'd you go i miss you more than you could know it feels like it was years ago that i last saw you smile

Bobby Pins 04:06
i didn't mean to meet you but here we are listening to music in my car you said you liked this band when you reached out to hold my hand and you didn't say a word about my scar you saw the bobby pins on my floor and you turned around and asked what are these for much to my surprise you laid down and closed your eyes but i couldn't stop looking at the door i should not have said i liked you but i did and i said you made me feel like a little kid i know it's a quick end but i think we're better off as friends someone else can have the winning bid because the truth is that i know this won't work out while i'll get used to water you're in a drought have fun in your desert weather, i'll try and find somebody better i'm coming home, but on a different route

its late at night and youve forgotten the taste of blood exists form iron and the only place where iron’s forged is the last breath of a dying star so when the time comes that you are grieving remember the stars in your blood as youre breating i’d gather the ends of the earth for you just to say that i tried i think that our bond is some heavenly sign that people were meant to have others in mind i’m thankful for whatever gods plan might be because he made sure you existed with me

so i'm running away i'll be running for miles and before i get tired or break a sweat i'll have been gone for a while are you leaving so soon? won't you stay for a while? will you miss me at all through the static? i can't hear your goodbye you won't notice i'm gone you'll have nothing to say and it might be a year before you ask "wasn't she gonna stay?" i will scream to the sky, "will you answer my prayer? my knees will bleed into the earth isn't anyone there?"
5.
let me lick the wine off of your lips there is nothing heavier than this let me be the stars under your sky finding comfort in your inner thigh i am me again for the first time water washing over both my eyes but i'm not mourning any death i am wishing you the best an allusion to what's left and who is leaving

Fondly 02:16
lying sleepless at 5 am knowing it'll be a while before I see you again may the sun wake you gently as it puts me to sleep and while I'm anxiously waiting I hope you have sweet dreams but don't waste your time on us since I will be gone in a month and I hope it's true that you'll think of me too but my bones, under weight, will be crushed when I wake up tomorrow I'll be in my bed i'll avoid conversation of what's lying ahead may my heart still be beating and my blood still be red and may a hundred years pass before I am dead but I won't call you anytime soon as I'm busy here packing my room and I know I'll be fine with the passing of time but I'll always think fondly of you

Bruised 03:20
i missed you last week and i'm not getting bitter there something about the way it unfolds i'm running away to the cold arms of winter trying to find the comfort it holds maybe i'm just doing this all wrong has it been within me all along? i'm getting tired and i'm getting much older but i've never been so lost and confused and i'm still awake at the end of october breathing and weak i am beaten and bruised i didn't want any of this all i wanted was to know i was missed

about

I wrote these songs in the middle of a weird transitional period, between graduating college in my hometown and going to graduate school in Seattle (and almost not going to graduate school in Seattle).
