Dream Girl
I can’t help my heart with my head
Not when it comes to you, baby
I could follow if you lead
but sometimes that’s hard for me, baby
If you give me a little bit of what you’ve got
Even when you’re not here
it’s okay that could change in a minute
Then I’d give you a little bit of what I’ve got
‘cause we both want something we can hold on to
You’re the one who chose me
You’re the one who really knows me
You’re not gonna leave me lonely
When I listen to the love in my heart
it’s saying I’ll always be your dream girl
I can’t tell what you want so I wait
Patience is worth your love, honey
At these times we both need our space
a chance to think it through, baby
I wanna feel your love, I wanna bring you up
If you give me a little bit of what you’ve got
Even when you’re not here
it’s okay that could change in a minute
Then I’d give you a little bit of what I’ve got
‘cause we both want something we can hold on to

Not an Act
I wanna make a show for you
I wanna show you this is not an act
‘cause you go through my bones like lightning
it’s like you’re trying to get in
You pull the curtain back
now you’re standing in the spotlight next to me
A sudden fade to black
I’m twitching like a sequin in the wind
There’s no going back from a love this real
This is not an act
I wanna play a scene with you
I wanna push you out of character
your crowd can watch you rise up higher
but I can see your wire
fly me on a wire through the sky
fly me on a wire way up high
don’t let me fall
You pull the curtain back
now you’re standing in the spotlight next to me
A sudden fade to black
I’m twitching like a sequin in the wind
There’s no going back from a love this real
This is not an act

Your Room
I missed you
so I headed down the highway to your place
you have a funny way of making me do that
I believe that you are meant for me
and I am out to prove it
you get this silly look on your face when I say that
I know you’re thinking I’m insane
but you always say my name
when we are floating here together in our own warm cocoon
In your room it’s quiet, light, and I am still in love with you
In your room I like it bright enough to see what you will do
It’s so nice here I might never want to leave
and I think maybe it’s not you, it’s just the room
but you smile and then
I think again
You don’t do lava lamps or shag carpet
or pictures of other girls
you’re polite but never boring in aesthetic
I want your drum machine, your record stack
your painting of the sea
(and if there’s stuff you want from me I’ll see you get it)
I know you love the sound of rain
on your French window panes
so I turn the sprinklers on and let them spray away

Silly Sun
Silly Sun, don’t you drown again
you went overboard last night
a pink shrimp clenched between your lips
your silver dress torn, golden makeup worn
Raised your glass, tipped your crown
As you went down
Little Sun, the night has come on
big shiny moon says he sees you
laughing with seahorse princes
diamond tears of happiness
Up above, while we sleep
there comes a rumble from the deep
Tell us, is this the end?
Tell us where you’ve gone
Tell us, is this the end?
Where have you gone?
Pretty sun in pale blue stockings
floating on a seaweed bed
velvet lips so cold, so lifeless
we throw a rope to pull you in
Up above, while we weep
there comes a rumble from the deep
Silly Sun, we thought we lost you
a casualty of love
that day could have been your final symphony
but here you come again
on the horizon

Binary <3
When I shake wide awake I can feel it moving
In my chest it’s abreast of bone and skin
and mechanical noises in my blood
Pounding like a thousand little switches grooving
Lately I’m a robot running on the code I got
Sneaking through the city hoping somebody hears
My binary <3
On Off On
(and on and off and on)
On Off On
(and off and on and off)
On Off On
(and on and off)
I’m working lighting up the lonely night in red
When my feet hit the street I’m superhuman
My eyes blinking lights saying “come on in”
Technological glimmer on my lips
Trilling like a million little sirens singing
I’m looking for a robot running on the code I got
Sneaking through the city hoping somebody hears
My binary <3
’Til I find a robot speaking in my code
Sneaking through the city knowing somebody hears
My binary heart
On Off On
(and on and off and on)
On Off On
(and off and on and off)
On Off On
(and off and on)
I’m working lighting up the lonely night in red

Liquid Love (Meltdown)
(I wouldn’t take it back)
All the little things about this
hanging out with you at sunrise
the way your smile lights your eyes
ooh, I’m just so glad to know you
Baby, let’s go off somewhere together
so I can show you how I feel inside
Somewhere where dandelions dot the earth
Somewhere where no one else will think to search
Take me in your arms and melt me down to liquid love
Everything you do surrounds me
I can tell you care so much about me
Can we just lie here like this forever?
or at least until this song is over
Take me somewhere where dandelions dot the earth
Somewhere where no one else would dare to search
Take me in your arms and melt me down to liquid love

The Way In
There’s a way in to your heart
Show me the way in to your heart
I watch your eyes for signs of light
You look away but I can feel the need
You’re forgetting, the way you do
I’m the one, the one for you
Don’t let me stay here the way you do
In love alone
I wish you’d think of me
Baby won’t you think on this:
What if you let me love you a little bit?
What if you let me hold you a little bit?
What if our love’s not dead, just a little lost?
What if you lead me back to the way in?
Everything mends in time
Even the worst words we ever said
Don’t you know, everything mends in time?
As long as there’s love, and we got love
We could drown in our love
I know why you cry those tears
You can show me all your darkest fears
Darling, I will still be here, I won’t go
Tell me all your darkest fears
Darling, I will still be here.

Amnesia

Amnesia
I walk in a haze, a shadowy maze
time in a glass, whispering past
Amnesia - we have no history
Amnesia - nothing but chemistry
A slate like obsidian, black as oblivion
we keep it clean, don’t make a scene
Amnesia - forget we can’t forgive
Amnesia - don’t let it kill the vibe
Hours slip by, we’re chasing a high
moon faces change while we stay the same
Amnesia - a poison mirage
Amnesia - a lucite cage
I’m sheer as a ghost guarding my post
all reason forgot, all innocence lost
Amnesia - a fun house glass
Amnesia - twisting the past
(say what you mean, this isn’t a dream)

U Play Me Records
I come in a broken car with dashboard dust
big eyes and small experiences
mismatched dresses, shoes
in a secondhand suitcase
hello love come on, come up
to eight smooth stones set neat on a wall
a beige house for copper pans
no colorful fuss of first generational self-discovery
and I wonder do you ever shout?
do you ever cry?
do you ever think about how you’ll die?
but we sit down politely
like someone else can see us
the neon Hollywood night can see us
palm shadows on the shades
u play me records
that flash past like birds
every shiny fleeting word
we go for beer at one
your hand in mine hot, alive and moving
LA nightclub glitter mouths
the sky a bright ceiling and no wind
you laugh and talk and I can’t reply
I’m stuck here wondering how we’ll die
I want to shout and I want to cry
but I know we’ll just get drunk and fuck
In the morning I go North
like the fog you follow me
like eight smooth stones set neat on a wall
you don’t think of dying at all

Pocatello
It’s perfect weather in Los Angeles tonight
Jess wears a mini skirt though late October like
winter doesn’t happen here
that’s what Jackie wants to hear
and he puts his arm around her waist
He says “I won’t go back to Pocatello,”
as he kisses her with lips of jalapeño
Sunset boulevard lights up
running to the mother cup
purple shining waters of the Pacific
He says, “Well, Jess, it comes to this:
I won’t go back to Pocatello
No I won’t go back there alone
I won’t go back to Pocatello
Not without you in my arms.”
Issac’s tavern’s spilling music to the street
Jackie grabs her fingers, swings her to the beat
he says, “Jessie we can make it here,
I can break us anywhere,”
and throws a shot of whiskey back
She says, “I can’t go back to Pocatello,”
smiles at him and orders up prosecco
Hollywood is glistening
ivory towers shimmering
skyward-leaning shadows, monolithic
He says, “Oh Jess, trust me on this:
I can’t go back to Pocatello
I can’t go back home without you
I can’t go back to Pocatello
Not without you in my arms.”
Jackie’s flat out when the palm trees start to speak
whispering hazy visions as their branches creak
Jesse stares a while at him
smokes a cigarette and then
leaves her set of keys inside the door
And in a dream he’s gone back to Pocatello
sleeps in his jeans, his jacket for a pillow
down below the streets are bare
neon billboards pierce the air
smokey eyes and silk for morning traffic

Kiss Soft
I like to feel this way when I’m with you
like everything we do is a beautiful truth
I get a bit caught up in our moments
I leave myself behind when I’m part of you
No one said it would be easy
to love you in this life of a million fears
but baby —
Kiss soft, run fast
make a fool of your heart
Laugh loud, cry hard
when we come back around
kiss soft
You need to take some time to be ready
everything you say is an honest truth
I try to see the way you’ve been feeling
by leveling the lens of your point of view
Nobody promised a clean shot
but cupid’s arrow flies through a thousand years
so baby —
Kiss soft, run fast
make a fool of your heart
Laugh loud, cry hard
when we come back around
kiss soft

Dream Catcher
The hardest part of being with you
is that my dreams have not come true
I lie here in the night with you
You’re sleeping and I’m trying to
I look out your window at the moon
I know I must be going soon
But I’ll lie here in the light with you
until I feel the pull of noon
And when I dream of you
you’re just a dream catcher now
Dream catcher catch my dreams
until I find the arms of sleep
As the city comes alive
finally I close my eyes
I hear you getting out of bed
We should be making love instead
When I dream of you
you’re just a dream catcher now
I lose myself in little things
like honey and the smell of spring
like skin and breath and melody
your voice and life and ecstasy
Dream catcher catch my dreams
you’re just a dream catcher now

Take Back Your <3
Have a little patience, love.
‘cause I am not what I seem to be
I cannot give you what you want,
No, no…
Take back your <3 with you when you go
I wouldn’t know what to do
with such a precious thing
I cannot give you what you want
Take back your <3 with you when you go
Oh, I love you! - but do I really think so?
I never can say for sure.
Well, it’s all so strange, I cannot stay,
and I’m not sorry.
