We could walk through
Winter’s pale skin
Love still bleeds new
Colored lights still shine, my hands still smell of you
Guess this is it
Till summer rolls around
Funny how a season curses you
without making a sound
Now you’re changing
In a thousand new ways
I know this evolution must be scary, darling
Let the movement warm you
Mother always tried to warn you
love is strange
But it’s something we all do
Keeps us spiraling so beautifully
Like the leaves inside your pool
I would love to be with you
But your pedals never reappear Zuzu
We could pack up all we’ve got
Dispel of all this freshman shit
Trace the chambers of my heart
Eat the moon after I lasso it
I would love to be with you
But to promise that’s a wicked thing to do
Now my old kite in
Weak gusts won’t glide
In the year we went to separate colleges
Randy sold the hammock
Leonard Cohen and Ziggy Stardust died
But now I finally understand
The things I felt made me a failure
Just make me a man
And though we’ve exchanged
Our capes for ties
I’ll still lend a helping hand
I would love to be with you
But to promise that’s a wicked thing to do
We’ve studied love for centuries
To get degrees in letting go
This college town has brought me to my knees
And yearning for New Mexico
I love you dear I’m sorry
I tried my best I’m sorry
Sorry I let you down
I guess my sickness got the best of me guess my darkness got the best of me but holding grudges ain’t your style And I’ll be damned if I’ll be known as the one who let something great go so I get stuck beneath the undertow and roll my rock without a smile Blake wake me up when we’re both men I’ve felt this way since I was ten – just like I failed my driver’s test again – waiting months on the same card Now you drown dishes in the sink prone to smile but never speak about those lines or silver streaks just count the leaves falling in the yard just like the heroes from my sky they’ll come to bury me in time
Things won’t ever be the same
Am I crazy if I like that?
Hope the spiraling sadness in you fades
But don’t know if I could take that
My heart won’t leave Tucumcari
Am I crazy if I like that?
But there’ll be nothing left to see
And I don’t know if I could take that
We would walk through
Winter’s pale skin
