I’ll be in the garden while you
Make your coffee, one cup will do
The morning’s quiet, sky looks so blue
But part of me still thinks about
Disappearing now and then
Part of me oh
I’m scared of time moving past, nothing lasts
But you were up this way
I’d like to stay
Just this way
I don’t ever wanna change
Let me stay
Up this way
To be fair I don’t know what I want
But I wish someone could tell me for once
That nothing really matters that much
And part of me still thinks about
Disappearing now and then
Part of me oh
I'm scared of time moving past, nothing lasts
But you were up this way
I’d like to stay
Just this way
I don’t ever wanna change
Let me stay
Up this way
And I’ve got more than I wanted
Will it ever be enough, oh
There’s always someone better
But the grass ain’t green forever
No, the grass ain’t green forever
Nothing’s forever
You were up this way
(And I've got more than I wanted)
I’d like to stay
(Will it ever be enough, oh)
Just this way
(There's always someone better)
I don’t ever wanna change
Let me stay
(I've got more than I wanted)
Up this way

Oh California
You brought me to my knees
Put on your best show
And I bought into the dream
But just for now
Can I silence intuition?
God I'm tired of my ambition
Wanting more is such an imposition
If there was a way to make this go away
I would do it all again
By now I know better
Should let you go forever
But I know I never can
God I’m always dyin to
Give it one more try ‘cause
The heartbreak’s half the thrill
And you know I love you still
Oh desire
It makes me wanna die
I think that I’m strong but
I give in every time
I don’t wanna beg for your affection
Or question your intention
Ooh I was young and I miss the way you meant it
If there was a way to make this go away
I would do it all again
By now I know better
Should let you go forever
But I know I never can
God I’m always dyin to
Give it one more try ‘cause
The heartbreak’s half the thrill
And you know I love you still
I gave you all of my time
Sure it hurts, but I don’t mind
If there was a way to make this go away
I would do it all again
By now I know better
Should let you go forever
But I know I never can
God I’m always dyin to
Give it one more try ‘cause
The heartbreak’s half the thrill
And you know I love you still

Seasons change and seasons go
You say I’m too honest, I know
But you could say what’s on your mind more
If you wanted to, you would
I don’t ask for much, but I should
You can have your space, it’s all good
Damn I wish you’d wanna
Be the man I thought that you were gonna
Damn I wish you’d wanna
You can’t think too far ahead
But that’s all I do, is that so bad?
If you don’t love me now, just take it back
I catch a glimpse from time to time
Where nothing’s there, just you and I
And I move mountains just to feel that high
Damn I wish you’d wanna
Be the man I thought that you were gonna
Damn I wish you’d wanna
Damn I wish you’d wanna
Be the man I thought that you were gonna
Damn I wish you’d wanna
Damn I wish you’d wanna
Be the man I thought that you were gonna
Damn I wish you’d wanna

I broke my own rules
Losing myself in you
Splitting rivers to your sea
It’s not that I mind
Or wish you would change
But for once could you meet me?
We’re talking in circles
About the same little things
And now I just think
You don’t understand me
But I’m missing my head on your shoulder, believing
That you wanna be here
And I’m not just convenient
I cannot listen to you now
(I cannot listen to you)
I cannot listen to you now
(I cannot listen to you)
I’m playing the years back over and over
To find where you stopped trying to win me over
I cannot listen to you now
(I cannot listen to you)
Now’s not the time
But it never is, that’s the truth
I’m not trying to fight
You’ll say you’re fine
But I know you better
Than to think it’s all alright
We’re talking in circles
About the same little things
And now I just think you don’t understand me
But I’m missing my head on your shoulder, believing
You wanna be here and I’m not just convenient
I cannot listen to you now
(I cannot listen to you)
I cannot listen to you now
(I cannot listen to you)
I’m playing the years back over and over
To find where you stopped trying to win me over
I cannot listen to you now
(I cannot listen to you)
I cannot listen to you now
(I cannot listen to you)
I cannot listen to you now
(I cannot listen to you)
I’m playing the years back over and over
To find where you stopped trying to win me over
I cannot listen to you now
(I cannot listen to you)

It’s 2016 and I slip in the backseat with someone I barely know
We’re down a few drinks and his hand’s on my knee
I’m aglow and the traffic’s slow
Home is sweet, I love our street
But will I ever feel that again?
I keep replaying, channel changing what I want
Now just make it make sense
I told you that I love you
Is that enough to get through anything we go through?
I told you that I love you
Is that enough to get through anything we go through?
I’ll quit while I’m ahead, there’s no right way for you to answer
I hate that I feel small sometimes when you ask me what’s the matter
At my lowest
At my lowest I’d blow it all up
But I’d miss you
And I’d miss all the ways we’re in love
I told you that I love you
Is that enough to get through anything we go through?
I told you that I love you
Is that enough to get through anything we go through?

Honey your skin makes me warm
And I love you forever
I know you’re all that I need
For worse or for better
Oh baby no one wants it more than me
Sun faded slipping right between your teeth
Maybe it’s stupid, maybe it’s reckless
Send me a message anyway
I fall in love in thirty seconds
Sudden rushes to the brain
But that’s ok, I say for sure
I was reminded that this ain’t war
And I can fight it but we shall see
I can’t keep loving you more than me
Nothing but you on my hands
Nowhere to be missing
I’m watching the light hit your back
With the sweetest precision
Oh lately I’ve been trying to see in me
What you see
Maybe it’s stupid, maybe it’s reckless
Send me a message anyway
I fall in love in thirty seconds
Sudden rushes to the brain
But that’s ok, I say for sure
I was reminded that this ain’t war
And I can fight it but we shall see
I can’t keep loving you more than me

Here I am
There I run
In the sun
Till I’m gone
I still care and I never told you
If you want I’ll be waiting for you
I sat back and I still regret it
Still look back and I know better
Didn’t it feel like a year rushed past?
Counting down the minutes and the sunsets
Feel myself
Falling out
Catch my breath
Run again
Water falls and I’m in the darkness
See myself as though a mother
But in the mirror a stranger’s watching
Looking back I’ve felt this often
Didn’t it feel like a year rushed past?
Knowing now the minutes don’t ever last
Didn’t it feel like a year rushed past?
Didn’t it feel like a year rushed past?

For a moment
I see a little light
Confirmation I’ve done something right
Least there’s enough
To settle my mind
Least there’s always someone keeping me alive
I’ll take my time, fix my hair, when I feel right
And I’ll go out, see my friends have a good night
But no one ever gave me your love
No one ever gave me your love
No one ever gave me your love
No ones ever done it so right
Oh you’re mine, oh you’re mine
Slip off the shirt I’ve worn two days in a row
Sit in the quiet air alone
I’m trying to focus less on everything
And more on being here, you know?
I’m missing the desert dry summer heat
And how it sits in my bones
You plant all these roots down
It’s harder to leave
But why would I need to now?
No one ever gave me your love
No one ever gave me your love
No one ever gave me your love
Oh you’re mine, you’re mine
Slip off the shirt I’ve worn two days in a row
Hey everybody through the phone
I’m trying to focus less on everything
And more on being here, you know?

Listening back to The Shins
Like I’m 17 again
I wish I could hold you then
Tell you you’re gonna be fine and
It’s alright to cry
You can’t be strong sometimes
Like seeing the signs now that it’s over
One two at a time pushing me closer
Like singing the lines over and over
Time never lasts just like they told ya
I miss the warmth of an August night
Laying out by a chlorine green light
But longing can be deceiving
Is it the place or the feeling?
Sometimes I still care
About what they might think of me now
Like seeing the signs now that it’s over
One two at a time pushing me closer
Like singing the lines over and over
Time never lasts just like they told ya

You know, I never see it coming
The stillness of winter in the spring
And we brush by
As strangers passing
The same route
Every single day
Alone with myself
I start believing
Maybe you’ll find me someday
When it’s just right
In the least expected way
And it’ll feel so, so familiar
Like not a day’s passed
Since last I felt your weight
Alone with myself
I start believing
I start believing
If I could say I’m good within reason
If I could say I’m good within reason
If I could say I’m good within reason
Alone with myself
I’ll start believing
