Recent Songs: That Much Would Do

That Much Would Do


Closer than to touch
I hear your breath
I wish you would rest your head on my chest
And that much would do

I am weary but wary
The flesh is so weak
I wish I could rest my head on your breast
And that much would do

And I’m trying to keep promises that I made to myself
While drinking wine in a water glass
Somehow inertia’s giving me jet-lag
Feel like my soul is a time zone away
And anything will do
Just stay

Disorientation
I try to connect
Social yet secluded, disembodied and set
An empty couch in a humming room

Hyperbole
Orbiting the sink
I float the night on the thoughts that you link
So drained, I'm slipping through

Slipping through...

And I’m trying to keep promises that I made to myself
While drinking wine in a water glass
The needle’s bobbing at the end of the record
Feel like my soul is a time zone away
And anything will do
Just stay

Closer than to touch
I feel your breath
I wish you would rest your head on my chest
And that much would do

I am weary but wary
The flesh is so weak
I wish I could rest my head on your breast
Cause that much would do

Paisley’s and snuffed smoke
An old birthday wish
Mr. Glamour and Sadness
Go watch Lillian Gish
And teach yourself to smile...

And I’m trying to keep promises that I made to myself
While drinking wine in a water glass
A sleepy smile as you merge with the futon
Feel like my soul is a time zone away
And anything will do
And anything will do
And anything will do
And anything will do…
And anything will do

Paisley’s and snuffed smoke
An old birthday wish
Mr. Glamour and Sadness
Go watch Lillian Gish
And teach yourself to smile!
