You built shelter from the cold, frost was settling in your coat, the trees were rattling all their bones that night I would retrace all your tracks you were never too good at that, leaving piles of memories in all your steps As I try to find you amid old stones You reside in all of your self-made holes Tell me how, tell me where you built Fires Of your own Now you're so far in those tracks, I look up to recall your breath, the air it turns in ways you moved before Watch it float on up so high, Into pictures of past and time, I know your out there with the bones at night As I try to find you amid old stones You reside in all of your self-made holes Tell me how, tell me where you built Fires Of your own

You asked me "How I feel feel alive" "Inside my head" I said to you It's all that I can do most times In other words I cannot seem to break the ties from empathy It builds me up and pushes me round right Then you hold it down so tight Tied it into knots to stay on ground See how it digs without making sound I watch as you slowly let it out As you and I As you and I Survive, survive, survive You and I, and I, survive Survive, survive, survive, You and I, you and I, survive Now there's darkness in the yard It's all that I can do hold on To you, we move, it's trailing at our heels Round the garden holes in ground I always fall you lift me up And even dark can make the smallest light Then you hold it down so tight Tied it into knots to stay on ground See how it digs without making sound I watch as you slowly let it out As you and I As you and I Survive, survive, survive You and I, and I, and I Survive, survive, survive, You and I, survive

Well I moved around since I was two Montgomery, midwest fields of corn, and then some Texan blue I stayed a while in Caroline Where spanish moss and turn to sweet gums following power lines In Caroline I found love three times Each ended worse than moving hurts and I swore off love goodbyes But time it settles in our bones Outside the winters coming cold But I've never seen nobody look at me like you before No I've never seen nobody look at me like you before In Caroline things turned to blue Moving round is much too much if I don't have you too So we said goodbye to Caroline, Now Tennessee, 2 dogs, 1 key, I jumped right in with you In Tennessee it's where we've been My heart is full move to the moon if that's where we begin But time it settles in our bones Outside the winters coming cold But I've never seen nobody look at me like you before No I've never seen nobody look at me like you before

Speck 01:37
Speck in your eye to the right of green I can rely on it lines of gold in between In it there I'm reflecting off you You say I belong here as you blink I'm renewed And I smell the salt it tastes like your skin Or the cool breeze verbena in winds Speck in your eye to the right of green I can rely on it lines of gold in between In in I'm there reflecting off you You say I belong here as you blink I'm renewed

White Noise 03:06
White wine white noise these rainy nights they poise a delicate frame for us to sit And I know they've got you working hard you always get the worst hand so you think And while you work I'm here it's dark the dogs are clutching near my face they curl on your old pillows A week you say one more of this but I don't think we can persist if all I see's your green eyes closed This white noise This white noise Coffee caffeine you come just to sleep between my sips you softly kiss my lips And I know you wanna sleep it off the night time isn't easy you lose grip But babe I think we figured wrong this love of ours could last so long the dogs they curl on your new pillow A week you say one more of this and I do think we can persist All I need's your green gold eyes This white noise This white noise

about

In the end, it really is about knowing who you are and being able to create your own fires -- even if it's dark and scary out there.
