Chicago back in '02 A sky swelling black and blue Still drunk from the night before I woke up on the bedroom floor I lit a smoke and hit the street Sweat electric in the summer heat Logan Square stickin' to the skin When the clouds cracked I was born again She was a stranger I didn't know her name But we sat there together with our arms up in the rain I believe in love and possibility Her eyes were music and her laugh was poetry Stinson Beach back in '98 One a.m. when we hopped the gate Our feet buried in the winter sand Talkin' shit about future plans Jagged hope and gettin' high Staring up star-freckled sky Kinetic night pulling at me I dove naked into the begging sea With the cold black chaos Surging all around I went floating calmly I became unwound I believe in wild grace And constant energy I was just a word in the waves howled poetry Washington just last week In the woods beneath the snowy peaks Three friends runnin' in the trees Made young by company Tumbling down cliff-edged dunes New ideas and the harvest moon Stick and poke to commemorate Staples in my skin to mark the date I believe in love and possibility I believe in the binding tie Connectivity The song of life should be a bit sloppy and full of honesty If you scream it loud and make it stick I'll hit that harmony

She blew in from Boston She came with the snow Familiar Sister The burning high to the low She had brains And a penchant for booze Burnt out and flickering She was the fuse You gotta go We get it But run the wires Leave the current on It flows So don't clip it We'll need that shock kick When you're away and gone We did some time in Chicago Before we threw our cords in the Bay Better off as just friends The circuits ran better that way We stayed tight A radiant bind Now she's off to Austin To run some more volts through her mind (With out her around we're gonna shut down) You gotta go We get it But run the wires Leave the current on It flows So don't clip it We'll need that shock kick When you're away and gone

Do you remember when we could walk straight? Thinking I was nervous for the both of us 'till I proved form and function for the moment when all breath and movement hopelessly don't fit. And there's one thing we're still sure of, we all turn to dust. On a scale that weighs something you could never touch. I don't believe in myths but still I think there's something to be said. That it's easier to breathe when you drain the goddamn sea. And I'll hang on every word you've ever heard. I can see clear through your illness: lined up cold to touch. To be empty and full at once, patience is a must. God's a useless fiction I don't want because I don't need your crutch. Cause it's easier to breath when we drain the goddamn sea. And I'll hang on every word you've ever heard.
