Holding on to a single thread of starlight And it’s slipping through my hands And without oxygen I’ve got a little over fifteen minutes left to Sit back, wave hi, and sigh And say all my goodbyes Gaze into the night and sigh And let go as the darkness catches me Oh I’m alive but not for long I bet you think That it’s all your fault even though you didn’t do a thing But this is how things go When you’re living in deep space You can’t trust the stars in this sector They keep their secrets close And I am a victim, a martyr Of making sure things go well But they won’t I know Cause I’m stuck out here The coiled snake of tubing tripped me out of the airlock And I went flying away Away away away CHORUS Don’t come after me I won’t make it halfway It will set you free if you never look back And out here in the void I can hear the call of the ones beyond the ring Around the black hole So save yourself I’d like to stay I’d like to stay I can see you through the porthole on the side of the ship And you are singing As you’re gearing up to reach into the dark and save me From the outerworld remnants and high tides I shimmer in the night But you cannot hear me as I scream For you to go back inside Cause the radiation’s coming I can see it And we’ll both get caught in the storm In the storm CHORUS But if you stay we’ll see the glow And feel the pull of the black hole And you can hold my hand through my glove And we’ll see the light And it’s all so bright

Song For Me 03:10
You should write a song for me when you go back home Make it up a melody That you’ll remember Once I’ve come and gone If you put it down in words And verses all in line I promise you’d feel better Losing every hour of lost time CHORUS Cause when you told your secrets to me I promised I would not set them free And I would never steal that heart That beats inside the willow tree We buried our hope underneath And swore to give our future a new start But I won’t let you go No I won’t let you go Someone told me I would fit right in in the big city Something about the way I looked under the streetlights Trying to figure out how it’s so hard to tell who made it up Working out an influence of these diagonal lines In the mind’s eye When you were mine You said it’d be all right And I wouldn’t mind Cause it will be fine CHORUS Oh but we said we’d never be apart When the landscaped moved between us and the universe believed us That we couldn’t make it this far With the stars causing problems and no one around us I won’t let you go I won’t let you go I won’t let you know That I told you so Cause when you told your secrets to me I promised I would not set them free And I would never steal that heart Oh but we said we’d never be apart

Better Idea 03:42
Have we made it through the dark yet Have we let ourselves go Has the light begun to brighten Or is it still just a glow Is it still just a glow Do the songs stir in your memory Or do the voices sound strange Could we make this into something New could we rearrange The pieces of our hearts Left on the side of the road The pieces of our hearts We’ll never know We’ll never know CHORUS Cause I got a plan to keep us on track To keep us from spinning away away from the past But if you’ve got a better idea I’ll take it I don’t know how I’ll see this through But I know I’m better off with you And if you’ve got a better idea Please say it Please say it I’ll keep your whispers by the window I’ll keep your smile on ice I hope my dreams can keep out the cold During these winter nights During these winter nights I’ll tell my tales a little too tight Making sure that the words can’t come out right Cause the truth is a furious fire That I can’t let be free CHORUS This is a lesson learned Things that shatter don’t return Even if you pick up every shard It’s all you can do To make up something new A fleeting fragment of what’s forever gone Cause I got a plan to keep us on track To keep us from spinning away from the past And I’ve got a secret I’ve got a cause I’ve got magic buried deep in my broken heart And if you want to hear it Please just don’t come near it I think that I Can see this through Either way with our without you But if you’ve got a better idea Please say it Please say it

I suppose if I ran you down You’d stay quiet I suppose if I said hi You’d say hi back Would we let our thoughts collide Would we make eye contact I suppose I’d better stay To the side then CHORUS And you could never know That I can’t stop thinking about you Can’t go on without you And you could never know How much I adore you and that’s why I can never meet you Not today I’d like to think that you’re like me Kind and awkward But the way you are on my screen I know is not you not really And if we could erase the memories that we make I would erase you So I could fail to recognize you When you pass me by CHORUS You will never know You will never know You will never know I suppose if I caught your eye I’d look away

about

I wrote these songs during the first semester of my freshman year of college and recorded them in one night over winter break. They're about feelings and outer space and stuff, and I think they're pretty good.

If you download the whole thing, you get a bonus track of my cover of Tally Hall's "The Whole World And You" that I recorded in my dorm room!
