lyrics

I lay with fingers crossed
in a hope to win back everything I’ve lost.
My brother says that I’m up too late
and I’m left forgetting why I stayed up in the first place.

(Please don't stop taking polaroids and love.
You give the same and that’s enough.
Things will get easier for us.
Unconditional and calm,
no longer see you in my dreams at night.
I think I’m starting to feel alright.)

The bike path through the woods and around the bend—
there’s a million lovely places there
and I do believe that they meant
to block our eyes
with a no loitering sign
and a path paved down
because there’s nowhere left to ride.

MICHAEL DECOSTA: ACOUSTIC GUITAR, ORGAN, UKULELE, VOICE
ROZ RASKIN: VOICE
