Astronaut 04:38
I love you so I’m burying my old friends in the yard They won’t be there to tell you what I was like when I knew them When I knew them, I was alone a lot, the summer lost in thought, and folded in again I love you but I am still the kid lost in the yard And when I’m there, I cannot seem to find my way back again When I was ten, I was an astronaut, adrift in the first thought, in outer space again One of these days, I will come back One of these days, to my old life Uncovered and alright One of these days, I will come home One of these days, to find out where I Buried my insides

Keep to Feel 04:23
Blood is having its way in my skull So I think this works Pouring down the numbing sweetness With his parents gone By the pool, I had found a friend Taking me under But when my eyes came unshuttered then Everything reeling Cut down, but I wasn’t lost Untangled from dying ends But God, does start to hurt when Left out into the sharpening feelings The scraping of emotion, I keep you to feel Clouding up a backseat window Trying to pretend Pushing down my guts I think I Stumble, pace, and wince On the grass, I could see my friends (Ooh) But my eyes had shut up then Everything spinning Cut down, but I wasn’t lost Untangled from dying ends But God does start to hurt when Left out into the sharpening feelings The scraping of emotion, I keep you to feel You’re not in the clouds You’re not behind gates And I haven’t figured out exactly where but that’s ok

Back 04:44
I think of you when I get back in town All the things I thought weren’t true about you When you went into the ground I wonder how you let it get so bad But I really don’t, I just say that Cause I know we sink alone The look of your eyes, then you turn to dust, and then you turn to dust I look in your eyes, oh, then you turn to dust, and then you turn to dust I know you know, that a kid watched you say There’s not enough good left to save, but I Keep your ghost, cause your end shaped the way I start to find a way to be okay You taught me where to find the holy ghost Where the leaves blow that's what I follow But sometimes we lose the wind The look of your eyes, then you turn to dust, and then you turn to dust I look in your eyes, oh, then you turn to dust, and then you turn to dust I know you know, that a kid watched you say There’s not enough good left to save, but I Keep your ghost, cause your end shaped the way I start to find a way to be okay

Know 04:56
When you call I will try to tell the truth If you promise not to lie about the past Then you won’t have to recall What you told me then Cause I was there too And I remember pretty good I think I forgot that I’ve forgotten how to feel But I think that I will pick it up again To feel my way out of you I didn’t know it wasn’t love Your kitchen was cold But the basement was all for me At 19 years old And oh, what do I know? I let the memory change with me The meaning rewrote And oh, what do you know? The memory changes me Now that I know And oh, what do I know? I let the memory change with me The meaning rewrote I didn’t know it wasn’t love
