Darling
Verse 1:
These days
The windows are open but never clear
In some ways
I hardly see you but I never fear
The fog
Is there when it's cold or when it's hot
My God
I wish I could see you through the spots
Pre-chorus:
The hourglass just never runs out of sand
The sun and moon passing by making bands
Baby, I wanna hold your hand
I'd really like to see it through to the end
This fear of pain isn't just pretend
If only I won't break and bend
Chorus:
Darling my eyes aren't for anyone
And I stutter at the thought of it all
When I lay my eyes on you
I can't not love you
Verse 2:
Just a glimpse of a smile would be worth it
Inside I wouldn't regret it one bit
So I would wait for as long as I could bear
To see, oh just so I

Pieces
Verse 1:
The comfort of home
Escapes him
Fleeting ideas
Of what could have been
Tantalizing him with things out of reach
Dazzling the mind's eye
Like gold on the ceiling
Pre-chorus 1:
Should he dare go out the window?
Gaze at the night sky?
His head peering out
As his eyes look for the light
Chorus:
Maybe I've got nothing
Maybe you've got that something
Do these pieces fit another?
Should I bother?
Verse 2:
The distance of home
Gives her fear
Feeling alone
Despite being held so dear
Intangible eyes lie in the things out of reach
Illusions of space and time
Like staring at the ceiling
Pre-chorus 2:
Should she dare pull down the window?
Never to gaze at the sky
If it reminds her
As her mind searches for him
Bridge:
Life is like a puzzle, and you’re the clue
The only one I think of when I’m blue
All these memories and fragments of the past
Are only evident when I fit you last
Last chorus:
So what if I’ve got nothing
As long as you’ve got that something
These pieces fit no other
Someday we could be together

Skies
Verse 1:
Skies
I see blue and that's what I am inside
Clouds
floating heavily in imaginary lines
Space
Somewhere beyond where no man should ever be
I don't wanna stay afloat
I need an anchor
Verse 1:
Always distraught
Distracted by retracted afterthoughts
Fear in places I'll never be
Crowded by scary memories
Pre-chorus:
Dreaming
Wishing
Finding
Losing it again
Tired
Lying back
Gazing
Floating up into the
Verse 2:
My education is a blur
Armchairs vandalized with slurs
Canteens where panic can stir
Caffeine and anxiety I concur

Dangerously Close
Verse 1:
Dangerously close to sockets
As I prod around my action figures
Flying around on model rockets
Space used to be cool in TV boxes
Pre-chorus:
Slippers and socks, getting out of bed
Blankets and sheets wrapped around my neck
Stories of space all in my head
While you wished we'd move on instead
Chorus:
I know that's what you want
Time is a story we make together
I'd hop back in our rocket
If all of my storms and clouds would weather
Verse 2:
Library stacks and dollar bargains
Mixed tapes and pencils to wind them back in
Cafes and hallways we'd sip and sleep at
Talk of our favorites like Belle and Sebastian,
Last chorus:
Dangerously close to sockets
As I prod around old action figures
Pretending to fly on model rockets
Still kind of cool in TV boxes
