i would send an empty postcard
to the place you used to live
on the back i wouldn't tell you
how i'm getting used to this
and i think about you always
but i don't know how to give
away the thoughts i'm housing
with words and sentences
you are autumn, you are evenings
you're a touch of vertigo
at first sight, you're deceiving
and you test my self control
i would send an empty postcard
if you'd send it back to me
there is nothing more i'd like to know
than what you're thinking
you are summer, you are daylight
and you've got me in a twist
you're a silhouette of comfort
of which i can't resist
i would write until the ink ran out
of every pen i own
if i could write enough to make up
for the things i owe

grainy film and rainy streets
you ride your bike away from me
i drive down 35 to meet
the ghost of you at walnut creek
self sabotage is second nature
but you're living in the bigger picture
i'm caught up in the when where what
but i'm trying to keep up
likewise, i put up a fight
and sometimes, i end up saying the wrong thing
your ring fits like a glove
and i want that to be enough

call me patient, call me kind
she tells me nothing but she says she's mine
i'd wait for her tonight but i know it's a waste of time
call me selfless, call me blind
she gives me nothing but she swears she's mine
i'll wait for her tonight though i know it's a waste of time
call me petty, call me weak
she's bailed on me for the third time this week
i won't wait up tonight
call me bitter, call me sweet
she's driving through new city streets
i won't wait up tonight
yeah i know it's a waste of time

she showed up hours late to the bar
where we were meant to have our first date
i saw her park her car and when she walked up
i asked her "why'd you make me wait"
she said "oh, i live far and i got lost on the way,
took a wrong turn, circled back
but you know, that's just how it is today"
we sat down in the back at a picnic table
dimly lit by string lights at a quarter past eight
pleasantries, "how was your day"
"how do you pronounce your name"
"have you ever left this state"
she said "why won't you look me in the eye?
why can't you sit still?"
man, i need a refill
jaded and demoralized, i had tried to expedite
the process of getting to know you
and as you let me in, i felt high
but couldn't understand what i was to you

someone else

my skin grows cold when i think of you with someone else
but it comes in waves and i can't seem to get ahold of myself
this autumn breeze is a cruel reminder of the changing season
when you come back, two months will have passed
and maybe i'll have learned to breathe in
the winter air keeps me inside in more ways than one
i got a tattoo just to show you that i'm having fun
autumn leaves start to leave and in this moment i'm unhappy
for a minute, there's no limit to the rate at which i'm sinking
and i am better without you
or at least that's what i'll say
when someone asks me about you
i'll tell them i'm okay
i've kept the lights on in every room since you've been gone
look out the window if i hear an engine down the quiet road i live on
been spending time with most everyone
but i wish it were you, don't want to have to make do with someone else

you were in navajo nation
touching the ground, seeking salvation
i stuck around, looking for a way in
i went west looking for you
in my head, red and blue
you weren't around
glowing light in this room
strike a balance, pushing through
i was high, missing you
lay me down, goodnight moon
