Three months is short
no its not quite enough
to run all the way or slow to a walk
and you took me barefoot down the darkened path
and we talked
about how we felt
half a year ago now
Where the cold had sunk through me
and burned the lights out
and you took all my dreams and you set them on fire
And we talked
Don't you see we're the same
We’re so perfectly equal
We were made symmetrical
Mirrors of eachothers halves
So don’t blame yourself now
though these angles are true
The pieces fit together
But we’re both missing screws
One week is short
but it took long enough
for doubt to crawl through us
and disembowel parts
and the floor seemed to sink
for a week straight
I thought
Don't you see we're the same
We’re so perfectly equal
We were made symmetrical
Mirrors of eachothers halves
So don’t blame yourself now
I’m no better than you
The pieces fit together
But we’re both missing screws
But we'll be fine
Sorting our screws out in separate piles
Sand down the edges and take what is left and start again
We’ll be fine
Sorting our heads out in separate lives
Unpeel the thread
From the holes that were left
And start again
Don't you see we're the same we're so perfectly equal
We were made symmetrical
I couldn't be your other half
Don't you see we're the same
We’re so perfectly equal
We were made symmetrical
Mirrors of eachothers halves
So don’t blame yourself now
I’m no better than you
The pieces fit together
But we’re both missing screws
And that’s why mine were perfect for you
And that’s why mine were perfect for you
And that’s why mine were perfect for you
And that’s why mine were perfect for you

Lyrics:
It is dark in my bedroom
I’m trying to hide from the words I’ve sent you
But you’ve always got the perfect thing to say
And I am the luckiest
As the tears sink through my skin
You’re making me laugh till I’m crying effervescently
Tossed me straight into the stream
came out I was sparkling clean
You
It was cold on the way home
Fluorescent lights typed words on the window
But I was blind in my sunlit thoughts of you
And I am the luckiest
As my eyes spit out their sleep
Catching filtered light through veins of our translucent leaves
Fell asleep without you there
Woke up here with grass in my hair
You
Stare into me
Stare into me
I wanna swim in your blue sky soda stream
Stay here with me
Stay here
We’re sitting on stalk-tops watching the flowers bud
Speechless like a figurine
In disbelief I found myself
With you
You

Reach For You

Lay down with me
Like you do in my head when I can’t sleep
You were in all my dreams
Stay with me
Like you did when our lives felt concrete
You stepped on every wet path in me
all I do is reach for
Take my soul
You have it
Cause I’ve been living fine without it
Take my arms
You keep them
Cause all they’ll ever want to do is reach for you
Find my eyes
They’re swallowing the sea dry
Choking on the salt of our old lives
See me tonight
Your colours in my mind don’t look right
You’re stained by the blood from my bruised mind
And all I do is reach for you
Take my soul
You have it
Cause I’ve been living fine without it
Take my arms
You keep them
Cause all they’ll ever want to do is reach for you
I’ll reach for you
Take my soul
You have it
Cause I’ve been living fine without it
Take my arms
You keep them
Cause all they’ll ever want to do is reach for you

Garden

We found ourselves in the garden
two seeds on the breeze
planted side by side in the fertile soil where life begins
We're growing high but it's fragile
the branches bend and squeak
Guess we forgot to be careful
let our seeds turn into trees
I'm growing through your shadow
As the skyline splits in half
So my darling don’t get mad at me
I’m scared here in the dark
Am I lifting you up higher
Or just pushing us apart
I’m on your side
Turn on the light
Inside your shadow
You found yourself in the darkness
of a sleepless night
You know that I can’t wake you
you shut the curtains so tight
Our conversations are futile
you push it all away
I shrink in every sentence
take back all I meant to say
I'm growing through your shadow
as the skyline splits in half
So my darling don’t get mad at me
I’m scared here in the dark
Am I lifting you up higher
or just pushing us apart
I’m on your side
turn on the light
inside your shadow
