Splinter
​
I wanna dance, I got velvet in my drawer
But what’s it for, if I don't use it anymore
Oh what's it for, if I don't see you anymore
I take my time, in record speed
No I'm not scared of losing anything
No i'm not scared, but baby why’d ya leave
I wanna talk about my job
You’ll be so happy to know I’m moving on
You’ll be so happy to know I'm doing everything I want
I’ve been walking & sometimes I don’t stop
Cross the intersection around our old block
Learn the same old lesson that I forgot
What’s it for if I keep letting you down? Walking alone with a splinter now
What’s it for if I can't hear a sound?
When you go, I still feel you around
I wanna dance, I got velvet in my drawer
But what’s it for?
California Blue
​
The sun sets every night in the corner of your room
& the clouds they formed a maze for you
And I wonder what you’re thinking, under Minnesota skies
When my mind wanders, it pictures you inside
Is there a formula to follow, can I find something in a book
Cause I’m over being older & I’m done looking over my shoulder
You can call me California blue
Your nails are painted black, I believed it when you told me that opposites attract
When you’re somewhere swimming under Mississippi blue water, I think of you
Is there a formula to follow, Can I find something in a book
Cause I’m over being older & I’m done looking over my shoulder
You can call me California blue
The blank page in front of me
Asked about my grief
It’s not linear, it whispers and it screams
Is there a formula to follow, Can I find something in a book
I’m punching holes in the darkness finding light where I lost it
Oh, you can call me California blue
you can call me California blue
you can call me California blue

List of Things
​
My car took a turn and I don’t ever have to leave
There’s a spider web in the glass & I can’t see
There's poison in the ivy
Fire in the trees
You shoulda seen it, I was tossing in my sleep
but sometimes I wish you called me, & asked what’s knew
Cause I’ve got a list of things to tell you
Found out we were sick
on my 25th
And all my friends are pointing fingers in pointless arguments
I’m moving out the county & leaving my new job
I’m not doing it for the money or the prospect of love
Oh but sometimes I wish you called me, and asked what’s knew, cause I’ve got a list of things to tell you
You were in my dreams last night it’s nothing new
There was a swimming pool
& that new girl you talk to
The sun it sets like lightning
Out of the blue
I'd send a picture if you wanted, but you never ask do you?
& sometimes I wish you called me, and asked what’s knew
Cause I’ve got a list of things to tell you
Oh I’ve got a million things to tell you
Patterns
I know what you're thinking
When you call me I know the reason
You know we can't just settle down
Driving through San Francisco
Missed the exit three times before I let you go
What does it matter? I'm stuck in this pattern
We can drag it out, circles until we stop
Maybe we should find some new friends
In our own states, face to face
Try something new again
I said I think that's cool
It's not like I’ll be losing you
But these shapes they stick
& I'm holding on too
So what does it matter? I'm stuck in this pattern
We can drag it out, circles until we stop
I've memorized all the ways
These habits stay in place
But what does it matter? I'm stuck in this pattern
We can drag it out, circles until we stop
Driving through San Francisco
Missed the exit three times before I let you go
