Go Steady

Wherever you are, stay on my mind, leave a shadow
The garden weeds are mine
The first things I’ve ever grown
At last I have something to show
And all through the house there are these dying reminders
How I wished for a little more time
And someone made the days align
And everything came back to life
For me
I can Go Steady babe, you don’t have to hold me so tight
Let me be again, refracted light
Could this become our time if I mend these halves
When every word you cry
Is pulling on my breaking heart
Pull any more I’ll come apart
And I’ve lived at the ends of your lines, in private moments
I’ve photographed your highs
And yes I will be there tonight
Your best days all in black and white
Go Steady babe, you don’t have to hold me so tight
Let me again, refracted light
GO steady babe, you don’t have to hold me so tight
I lost track of it
By now you’ve got me back for it
So one last time Go Steady

Travelling Clothes

Those are just your travelling clothes
You’ve settled down these days
But I remember us younger than this,
When I watched you keeping pace
You come to me from harsher places
With figures I can’t read
Your hands are marked from burning papers
So mine will take the heat
But don’t turn your back yet, cos what would I do
I’ll Scrub my skin to fade the bruise
And I won’t hear your closing notes,
Just roll up all your travelling clothes
I will share my time with you
You make the years go slow
And I’ll take good care of us both
You’ll see how I can grow
I want to believe you honey,
You promised to be true
But you belong to roads and highways
And I belong to you
Don’t turn your back yet cos what would I do,
I’ll Scrub my skin to fade the bruise,
And I won't hear your closing note,
Just roll up all your travelling clothes
Roll up all your travelling clothes
Roll up all your travelling clothes

Confessions

I said you could have asked me
But you didn’t want to know
Then the wind blew in and something took the fight out of us both
And even when we’re laughing, don’t you sometimes feel alone
Maybe storms are made for lovers to walk each other home
So you swear you love me,
But who are you to say
When you still believe I’ll break your heart somewhere along the way
You want to hear confessions, well I’m twisted out of shape
Somehow we just keep crashing on and on, and through each broken day
You know I love to ramble
But you’re a quiet I can’t fill
And suddenly I’ve lost my grip, and everything’s stood still
I’m falling like I used to, before you knew me well
And I remember how we fought in spring, and only blame myself,
Well, I can only blame myself
So if you have some judgement,
Don’t let it hang for long
If the storm comes in for us, then we can walk each other home.

I should have seen it coming
But I dreamed it all too slow
I knew the sirens were close
But I guess had nothing to show
And still you stretched your hand out
And we walked the lonely road
And the bird that got caught in your kitchen porch
Is a satellite guiding us home
Don’t you be uncertain
I know you won’t be long
Pull on the thread, and you go ahead
You know how I want to be led by someone
So everything is hanging
Like the washing overhead
Yesterday night I was screaming
And we were unmaking the bed
And now if you could see me
With my head under the tap
Washing away all the words that I said and can’t take back
Don’t let me be uncertain
Tell me that I’m wrong
Pull on the thread, you go ahead
You know how I long to be led by someone
Pull on the thread, you go ahead
You know how I long to be led

Untourable Album
by Men I Trust

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe.
