It Stays 03:45
May the morning light Be your souvenir In the winter time When you're leaving here But your Christmas tree It doesn't leave And it stays with me And it stays Take some pictures while I sleep And I'll wake you when you're grinding teeth Filthy dog Left in his cage So we show him love And we show And we show
2.
Down by the fireside You were still as cold as ice Had a belly of butterflies When you placed your hand in mine You captured me deep in thought With a camera that you brought Remember when we got caught In a vacant parking lot To slowly settle down Is a glorious compromise And we share this common ground What beautiful surprise Listen to people pray In a garden that we made And we're lost in the silent sway Of the marigold brigade

Grown from the Earth And there's a sign of life from the dirt It's evident that God places his hands on everything Time bends your thoughts Into something else that they're not So take another stab at taming your tongue, everytime Calendars tend to lie Everything dies But we're here to save you from decay If you send me below I'll make the best of it you know But if you take me above I could accommodate your love I could accommodate your love We were on the down-slide, every time We were on the down-slide, every time We were on the down-slide, every time We were on the down-slide, every time Grown from the Earth And there's a sign of life from the dirt It's evident that God places his hands on everything

Are you hungry for a decent meal Well I'm sorry but there ain't no money here But I always understand the fear When the cold air reaches for your ears They've been nickel & diming our senses And they never allow us to feel them And of course I've been taking some chances But I'll always give you what I can Well I woke from a dream And my thoughts took my breath away And I could not believe Just how long we've been living this way And I want you to be Waking up next to me
6.
Take up spaces with colors and shapes You don't paint, you don't paint them anymore And these are the situations on Saturday days Pineapple curtains are purple and green And I'm sleeping, I'm sleeping underneath And I integrate you into my dream Slow down you beautiful soul And take care of what you know You change me, you busy bee
7.
We're stepping into old unknowns And fear is creeping in our young bones It's easy to get lost inside of a smile But desolation comes once in a while; unfolds And takes you down a long road And when we burn our candles down And when the darkness comes around Share solitude with someone else When they look at you, and you see yourself Stung, sitting there so patiently Tongue, twisting incidentally The sun gets lost and we wallow in the cold The seasons stop and you're seemingly a rolling stone Silently your love grows And when we burn our candles down And when the darkness comes around Share solitude with someone else When they look at you, and you see yourself Do you slip away Into a rainy day Well I feel the same When you go away
8.
True love My greatest love It comforts me
9.
Commandeer you for the weekend If you want to hang around and get some healing Slip into your favorite feeling When I tell you secrets while we watch the ceiling Steadily you touched my fingers in the kitchen Now you feel my love; it lingers Feel it blossom like a flower But the waiting makes your stomach sour The country roads that we love the most Hold our ghosts And you can see them in the distance Well the calendar keeps creeping In case you didn't know And I'm crawling down here reaching In the bottom of my soul And I know the pain of patience And I know you'll see me through When I find your light I'll bring it back to you Well the autumn brought me good sense When I needed it the most Because Independence Day was ruthless But I hate to see her go And I wish you could have been there And I wish I was there too I'd be on the back porch sitting out with you
