remember when it started? we didn't mind the rain
you took me to the book store, you took me to the lake
and every time i left you i didn't want to go
i wanted to be near you, i wanted to behold your soul
i wanted to be whole and know, i wanted to be so exposed
i wanted to behold your soul
it's been a long long time since i was so in love with you
it's been a long long time but you are who you were
in your soul i am sure
and the tall bell rings
remember when it started? i could never fall asleep
you took me to the wormhole where we could dip our feet
it's been a long long time since i was so in love with you
it's been a long long time but you are who you were
in your soul i am sure
and the tall bell rings

we dug a tunnel from the baseball diamond to jupiter
she wouldn't see us so what a waste it was
what a waste it was
then your breathing got so slow, your breathing got so slow
was it from sleeping in the snow, sleeping in the snow
we dug a tunnel thru the way we're not in love no more
you changed the subject and what a waste it was, what a waste it was
then your breathing got so slow, your breathing got so slow
was it from sleeping in the snow, sleeping in the snow

your wish is my old wish
i would have gone on against my soul if you would have stopped
now i'm changing all the locks
never gonna get to go back home
but its ok cuz the birthchart often lies
and all in all we shouldn't be surprised
in the parked car playin with the open wound
whats the middle of the night really mean to you
we can't be all the way we seem sometimes
to catch you staring is a loneliness divine
and i don't have another person that i really know
in a town where all you get is haunted
you just want to haunt someone yourself
you hold your soul against the flame to see it
it isnt what you thought it was at all

my best friend she works too many long shifts
she's always so exhausted
i wish that she could rest
and when i go to see her we could do whatever
i don't even worry if i'm acting dumb
she's a little garden to me
with her place themed like the sea
she's a little garden to me
my best friend she keeps her place so well lit
it's always such a good trip
every time i go
she came to meet my grandma all the way in everett
now she knows where i come from
now she really knows
she's a little garden to me
with her place themed like the sea
she's a little garden to me
and every time i leave i don't wanna go

i've been on my spirit trip too long
and there's so much that i haven't said to you
like don't you know i'll love you til i die
as long as you will be yourself, as long as you will stay yourself
can i stay here for awhile? i've never seen a home like this
i made it a thousand miles and i never saw a home like this
(2 weeks later)
muscle relaxers in the garden with you
i'm a disaster, you're some kind of proof of god
you're the only story i can tell
i have every reason to be suspicious
cuz we were the same age when your parents moved away
it took so long to recover from the loss
now i've been on my spirit trip so long
and i still don't have a place to lay my head
with all these tall tall buildings over me
if you would only be yourself, if you would only stay yourself
