Ether 03:57
You and I, we were different, fertile heartbeats Eager and afraid, heavy eyes, wound up bodies Prayers, guilt and whispers Stay up late and kiss me slowly Sing out loud and drive all night Please, can this last forever Work hard for golden America Lose touch, do drugs, fight hard but don’t lose sight Is it just me? Or do you remember the fireworks? You said I was brave But you were just a boy and afraid of us Please, make this last forever You body is not yours and I’m sorry I’m sorry you’re unwinding and you’re melting into memory Let me take care of your body, Count your breaths, warm your hands Kiss your eyes, and sing all night Please, don’t squander forever Say your directives are clear, say you’re at peace, Say goodbye, that you know when to take your bow But also, you say you are furious, its in your bones And it’s way too late Are you insane? And why won’t you let me take care of you? Such a stubborn man You know I’m sad, strong, brave and I’m here for you Please, please, we don’t have forever Just within reach, just outside of my grasp Snow is falling heavy and worries running deep See that imposing maple, live in its shadows And sleep in its memories Look back at a first kiss Drive across the path of possibility I am still that kid, I am still that kid Tonight, you’ll dream a reality Tonight, you’ll be the ether

Spare Me 05:22
You see the truth is I used to laugh wild I used to live hard with full commitment Now I’m sleeping right through the daylight Not much of anything can make me feel And my poor mother, she must be worried Concerned that I’m growing up so weird And the truth is I don’t feel anything But disappointment and regret Oh spare me, spare me Spare me the pain Oh, spare me the trouble Of losing it all again You see the truth is that it’s hardest Not at the bottom, but the whole way down Because the truth is I worked to build it To build it solid, keep us safe and sound But, for convention and oxytocin It was only strong for one good year And the truth is I’m holding grudges But I still miss them and I always will Fortune and luck and working hard Will lighten your load, give you success and joy But for me, the other side of fortune is To make all my dreams come true Then take them all away from me But the truth is I don’t need anything But a pillow and a Coca-cola And the truth is: give me America Give me the open road I’ll run away to New York City To live my old dreams and for a new beginning And the truth is I’ll make music anywhere I’ll sing in tunnels and in open sky
