OooooooOoOooOOOOh, OoooooooOoohhhhh...
2.
Before I open up my eyes I slide my hand Across the empty space I have beside me in my bed But your absence is a thing that I can’t hold And then I know that I’m alone Oh I know that I’m alone Then your face comes uninvited to my head To torture me with images of things I wish I had Your memory won’t leave me alone But these words are all I hold And I wake up on my own Do you wake up on your own Because I can’t let you go And I wake up on my own Because I can’t let you go When you wake up do I float into your mind Are the memories that you have of me the ones that make you smile Do you lie upon the place I used to lie to stroke your hair And know I’m gone Do you wake up on your own Do you wake up on your own Because I can’t let you go And I wake up on my own Because I can’t let you go I can’t let you go
3.
I want to see the freckles on your face from when the summer sun melts itself into you I want to see you as a drunken disgrace, I want to know every character in your retinue I want to take you to the house where I lived, I want to show you the fields that I grew up in I want to take you to the farm by the sea, I want to show you off to all my family Oh, I want to know every single little piece of you I want to know what you’re like when you’re low, when your feet have been cut out from under you I want to hate you want to scream in despair, I want to feel every feeling that can be felt for you I want to fall asleep beside you at night, I want to wake up to the sight of your greeny-blue eyes I want to love you for as long as I may Until the landslide of time or The thousands of miles or The heavenly divide sweeps our love away Oh, I want to love every single little piece of you

Your Body 02:47
When you told me your name It drilled a hole in my head Now there’s nowhere to run I can’t drown my sorrows Because it follows me, even to the bottom of the bottle Through that hole in my head Your face crawled in and made a nest Now your name and your face Are both permanent things I can’t get rid of them I’ve tried everything Oh, tell me where are you now Because I can’t get rid of your memory But your memory can’t warm my bed like your body Oh, tell me where are you now Because I can’t get rid of your memory But your memory can’t warm my bed like your body Like your body once did
5.
Birds 02:58
I was watching birds today, screeching at each other from a foot away Then they both took to the sky, flying off together like they’d put everything behind them It made me think about all the ways that I could improve my life So I throw my grudges down, spread my wings and lift my feet off this burdened ground And I feel so light Gliding And I won’t come down for nothing No I won’t come down Because I know that it’s a waste of time Building fortresses and weapons in my mind And I know that what I’m doing is right I’m leaving all my fears and worries behind I flap my wings and fly I just flap my wings and fly My eyes see right to the ground but the wind in my ears is the only sound The view is different here, the hurdles I hurdled have disappeared If you fly this high, above the clouds the sun will always shine
6.
I Wish 03:28
I wish that everything I touched would become not gold but better off I wish I sang like Antony, I wish my voice could heal the grieving I wish that I believed in souls, I wish I believed in the gods I wish I had a better half but on my own I am a whole I wish I had love for somebody But my heart has grown cold I wish that I was not so thin, I wish my bones were as thick as the mountains I wish that purely on a whim I could kick my heels and be swimming in the ocean I wish that I lived on the coast, watching waves break with my dog I wish that I could plant a seed into my heart and watch it grow I wish I had love for somebody But my heart has grown cold

about

A new pangfish is born every time your heart lurches towards your love. The ache you feel in your chest is the pangfish squirming out through your sternum and into the sky where it will swim across the world and slam into your lover’s breast like a fist.

This album is about love, with a sprinkling of distance and desire.
