love note

Coffee grinds
Coat my hands and leave them
Cracked and dry
But I’m just trying to make it
Through the line
Could you repeat that just
one more time
My shirt still smells like the incense you were burning at your place
I’m clinging to the memory and details of the day when
caught you
Smiling at a dog on the sidewalk
and I melted
And when I woke alone in the morning
I could tell that
The lipstick on my cheek
Was a love note you left while I was asleep
Girl off my dreams
Pitched a tent
On your bed at two am
“The city’s so stressful let’s pretend
Tonight we’re in the woods again”
The song you played that nights still running circles in my head
I’m clinging to the memory and details of the day when

stay

Your face in the golden hour, I swear it’s simply beaming
There must be something funny in that book you’re reading
I watch from your lap
I know this glow fades fast
And I know that I should go
I’ve worn out my welcome
I know that I should go but I wish that I could just stay
If I could just stay everything would fade
My teeth clench against the chill
I guess summer’s almost over
Why did I leave my jacket
nights have gotten colder
we stay in the park
Hard to read your face in the dark

unfamiliar hue

Do you remember when we snuck into the public pool back in waterloo?
Hopped the fence, swam under the moonlight
It was such a fun night
We almost got caught
Ran so fast from the security guard
That picture made me laugh of your shirt on backwards, hiding in the junkyard
Now the ink has faded to an unfamiliar hue
Darling what is making those brown eyes of yours look so blue?
So blue
Your hair’s so soft
Feels so nice to touch, your growing out your buzzcut
something’s off
Your voice is sounding rough, like you’re choking up
What are you running from so fast?
Can I come along?
Do we have to reach an impasse?

afterglow

I’ll bet you look so pretty in the sunlight
Bet those blue skies shine so bright in your eyes
But I may never know
I guess I’ll never know
No
We’re so easy, so uncomplicated
Don’t want to call you babe but I’ll call you at 2 am
Don’t want you on my mind
You were in my dreams again
This is nice, let’s keep it uncomplicated
Can’t remember after all this time
These walls between us were they built by your hands or mine
I’ll bask in the afterglow
Then I gotta go
Home
Glad we’re easy, so uncomplicated
I don’t want to fall in love but I’ll follow you to bed
Glad we’re easy
So uncomplicated
Cause I don’t want to fall in love

brick wall

Your plants are dying
Is it worth the fight?
Hard to live with so little sunlight
Every window we can afford
Faces a brick wall
The world has not been fair to you my love
No life has not been kind
The world has not been fair to you my love
But I’m so very glad you’re a part of mine
You curse the hands that hold you down below your debt,
feels like you’re drowning
I wish they’d let you catch your breath my darling
And we dream fondly of the rent in Waterloo
But our friends who stayed say it’s getting bad there too
I see you trying to let in the light
I can help to lift those blinds
But every window we can afford faces a brick wall

brave new world
02:52

The thread wears until it snaps
It’s something new every day
Ecological collapse
under the tension and the strain
Watch another market crash
Another cycle of poverty and pain
Black shirts or red hats, there’s no difference if the sentiment’s the same
We just want another way: the certainty of bygone days
As we watch the threads unfurl, I can’t face this brave new world
A shadow’s clawing at our neck
It nips and lashes at our heels
Can we outrun the fascist threat
When every day it gets more real
There’s so much to care about
Every story is a tragedy
Attention is thinning out
Can we keep up this energy?

don't change

I’d like to imagine that if i really wanted I could go back and things would be the same
Your still lying there in your bed under the poster of the album you introduced me to
Frozen in time your still scraping the windshield, and laughing at me idly standing by
You never cared about those little things
Don't change, while i'm away for a couple years
Don't change, i need you to stay right here
I’m up in toronto the rent is nearly double and i've looked back ever since i came
I miss the bands we played in, puttin shows on in the basement
Singing our songs like we used to do
Even through it all your still in the doorframe laughing at me
spray painting our wall
You never cared about the little things

grand river

Saw a ghost in the passenger side
Flickered ‘cross your face in the passing lights
While I missed my turn
You asked did I not see the sign
And in the dark you look just like her
From afar, I’d swear it was her
Close your door and I’m taken back to a joke I wish I’d known would be our last
I still hold my breath when I cross those tracks
