I hate the way I cannot see
All of the spaces between the trees
So I’ll take a photograph and try to make it work
But every memory is just a circle drawn in the dirt
I love the way you hug the sea
I love the way your shirt fits me
So I’ll write a letter and hope to see you soon
But everything is black and white if you look at the moon
I watched the day break on your back
I felt the sway of hips and math
Cause when you move the world becomes your room
And you paint it the colors of my heart
I found a way to pass the time
I found a way to ease my mind
I look at the sky and I try to understand
That the moon can tell you more than any man
You can't win

I don't need no temporary home
I got mine just where I roam
You got eyes but you can't see
That is what she said to me
I don't need no temporary home
I got mine just where I roam
Don’t have a car but I got my shoes
Tell me what are you gonna do?
Got my car and forgot my shoes
I’m gonna drive down 42
I don't need no temporary home
I got mine just where I roam
I went down to the DMV
The DMV on east State Street
Asked me "where do you call home?"
Said, “I don't have a place of my own"
Asked her, "what should I put on the form?"
She told me to lie
She told me to lie
Lying on every government form
Lying to yourself when you lock the door
Cause I don't need no temporary home
I got mine just where I roam
I don't need no temporary home
I got mine

Smoking my tobacco seems so dumb
When I listen to you hum
Living in the country sounds so good
And I know that we could
But every time I fall in love
It’s always with someone,
Who’s never less than one
Gas tank away
Cooking up tortilla so much fun
When you’ve got someone to hug
And trying to be sober feels so right
When I got you by my side
But every time I fall in love
It’s always with someone,
Who’s never less than one
Gas tank away
Boiling up the teapot makes me sad
When I’m missing you so bad
And tying up my shoes, there’s just no use
Cause I won’t be seeing you
Every time I open my heart
I know from the start
That as the tile cracks
Nothing will last
Doing laundry don’t feel like work
When I’m folding up your shirts
And driving down the highway is easy to do
When I’m on the way to you
Every time I fall in love
It’s always with someone,
Who’s never less than one
Gas tank away
Gas tank away
Take me away
Make it go away

broken chill bone
03:23

You rolled your cigarettes on a machine
The kind I’d only seen in an old movie
And there you were, inhaling benzene
And there I was, never heard of Ween
You broke my cool
Made me fall like leaves
I’m an April fool
In your springtime breeze
All of those boys, they seem so weak
When I look at you, underneath my sheets
Won’t you come home? I’ll let you brush your bones
Right up on mine, I’ve got the time
You broke my cool
Made me fall like leaves
I’m an April fool
Caught in your breeze
I know my words are incoherent at best
But I hope you feel, what I feel in my chest
You waste my mind, but it’s a pretty little time
Sleeping and not sleeping with you
You broke my chill bone
Brought me to my knees
Never felt alone
Til I swam in your seas
I never knew that people
Could be so cool
I never knew the world
Could be so cruel

Springtime lover,
My perennial flower,
How come I only see you
When April showers?
And every downpour
Only lasts an hour?
Springtime lover,
Green as the trees
Springtime lover,
Only nineteen
The words you’re breathing,
I don’t know what they mean
Maybe it’s because you are your father’s son.
Springtime lover,
Where is your head?
We woke up feeling
Like we were dead
And we’re only friends
when we’re in bed
Springtime lover,
You touched my hips
The sun was setting
Across your lips
And as night fell,
I knew we wouldn’t kiss
Maybe it’s because you’re afraid of everyone.
Springtime lover,
It’ll be over
Once we’re sober
Come October
Maybe I’ll meet you
When you’re older
Springtime lover,
Where did you go?
Can’t you see the flowers
Are waiting to grow?
They cannot bloom beneath
Your snow
Maybe it’s because you’re afraid of the sun.

Prettiest girl I ever did see
She did things
Did things to me
Did things to me
Sweetest heart that I ever touched
She made me
Made me fall in love
Fall in love
Qui vivre verra
Qui vivre verra
Apples don’t fall far from trees
But you taste so sweet to me
You can’t leave
You can’t leave
I felt a vibration in you
Saw a color I never knew
I never knew
Wouldn’t call it blue
Qui vivre verra
Qui vivre verra
Nicest sound I ever heard
Was the nest of baby birds
In my vent
In my vent
Qui vivre verra
Qui vivre verra
