lyrics

Put it off
put it over
love is in the air
love is in the gutter
I believe if you believe
I’ll pretend if you forget
hoping to make contact
before long

She comes to me
in my sleep
out of key
out of dreams

What have we become?
Wanting to be loved
and our boots have come undone
it’s all true, everything we are

Take me on
take the high road
shut me off
wake me when it’s over
I believe most anything
just as long as you say it again
killing me with kindness
as we fall

She comes to me
in my sleep
out of key
out of dreams

what have we become?
In and out of love
and our boots have come undone
it’s all true, remembering too much

What have we become?
Wanting to be loved
and our boots have come undone
and it’s you, pulling me apart







the bruises and reminders

before we are gone



Accidental

kindness
just before
among the nervous novices



what have we become?
In and out of love
and our boots have come undone
it’s all true, remembering too much


bruises and the blinders
as we fall

Wait until the nightfall


The day before the night
hoping to make contact
the night before the reckoning

and it looks like we’ve never

and those looks don’t

accidental kindness
bruises and the blinders
as we fall
the haunted days and

all along


leave me in the night
leave it on the table
forgettable


She comes to me
in my sleep
out of key
out of dreams

what have we become?
In and out of love
and our boots have come undone
it’s all true, remembering too much

what have we become?
out of step, of every
out of step, out of luck
and it looks like we
and our boots have come undone
and we turn, turn our collars down

and our looks aren’t who we were

leaving and the frightened
the pall and haunted


leaving and the frightened

the haunted days of


and our looks aren’t what they once were
Turn your collar down

Put it off
put it over
love is in the air
love is in the gutter
I believe if you believe
I pretend if you pretend
meet me in the margins
there’s something there, I do suspect it.

Take me on
take the high road
shut me off
wake me when it’s over
I believe most anything
just as long as you say it again
talk until the words are worn
into the morning light, it catches

these days, waste them well
as we change into someone else
you
can’t
see

scrapping ‘round the edges
the dark eyes on my back
ripping through the letterbox
(there’s something there), to get what I want
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe.

these days, waste them well
as we change into someone else
you
can’t
see


Like an untuned piano
wailing away in the night
forget everything that you know…

we are wrong
Waiting in the darkness,
hoping to make contact
turn our collars down
before we fall.
