Bedroom Pop Dream

Each drive home from your place
I listen to songs that we list
When we can't find the words
Or want to amplify them
I cry all the way to my street
I can't help it all wells up
And 135 off-ramps
They never really help you come down
Monday morning traffic makes me wish
That I have never ventured from your kiss
A Monday mourning this poor broken heart
I need to lay to rest, but
Whatever makes you laugh or smile
I guess
"You live a bedroom pop dream"
Is what you said while holding me
In a room just like the ones
That all our favorite songs were written in
You said that I had won you over
But all I did was show you around
A life I'd built inside a town
That wasn't where I'm from but you called home
Monday morning traffic makes me wish
That I had never ventured from your kiss
A Monday mourning this poor broken heart
I need to lay to rest, but
Whatever makes you laugh or smile
I guess
There are times I wonder if
You're wondering of me
And each time I check with you
You only make me grin
Monday morning traffic makes me wish
That I had never ventured from your kiss
A Monday mourning this poor broken heart
I need to lay to rest, but
Whatever makes you laugh or smile
I guess
Monday morning traffic makes me wish
That I had never ventured from your kiss
You told me that I'm living in a
Bedroom powerpop age dream
And I think that it's all because of you

Five years to this day
I looked across the bay
At a deck bathed in green
Where the water meets my dream
Where the water meets my dream
I'm someone out of place
Where the sun rises
I want to be out east
And the light will shine on
One fine morning
My dream, upstream
My dream is upstream
So here is a garden for my flower
A broken clock that I will set for this hour
I wanted nothing less
Than you should go to him and say:
"I never loved you, but only them"
Five years to this day
I left the one who counts
Death
On my face
Years passed
Waiting for your loving grace
Years passed
Burning passion
Unrequited
And now that I've found you

Many people aren't sure how they feel
But they feel nonetheless and ardently
Then one day you hear a song and it provides
What was missing, what you hadn't recognized
And as each word washes you in melody
So aligned with the precise course of your malady
And the layers of sound flow and ebb with an irony
That exhume all that arbitrary and unkind
There are punk songs for all the moments of my life
Sorrows, joys, traumas, loves, broken hearts
Shared miseries among friends
There's a love song that's built and ruined my life
And I'll never be done
Chasing unworthy love
I'll never be through
While there's pain in the world
Cause no soul on Earth
Deserves to cry alone
No one learns what they never investigate
There is no peace and love that comes from presumption
And of all the golden hearts and rebel fists
If you love me at all use your voice and your favorite chords
So turn over your rocks and enchant in the millipedes
There are thousands of strands each one a worthy story
And we'll always be sad until we hear them all
Cause we'll always need more commiseration salve
There are punk songs for all the moments of my life
Sorrows, joys, traumas, loves, broken hearts
Shared miseries among friends
There's a love song that's built and ruined my life
And I'll never be done
Chasing unworthy love
I'll never be through
While there's pain in the world
My heart will not mend
Until yours enlarges
My limbs won't be free
Until yours shake in tune
I can't end this song
Until you sing along
I can't end this song
Until you sing along
I can't end this song
Until you sing along
I CAN'T
END THIS SONG
UNTIL YOU
SING ALONG
Cause no soul anywhere deserves to sing alone
Cause harmonies are what make love
Cause harmonies are what make love
Harmonies are what make love
Harmonies are what make love
Harmonies are what make love
Harmonies are what make love

I've got this troubled way of
Staring at your face
And seeing who you were
Nine years ago
The trouble is my eyes
No longer understand
That you're now someone
I could never love
And I find it impossible
To comprehend
That I'm not still your one
That I'm not still your only
That I was just the first
Of many suitors
I have no wish to change
The way I think of you
Or to ever again
Receive your love
If pressed there is only one
Kind of change I'd bring
And that is for things
Never to have changed
But all I can see
Is our past through present pains
Back when I was your one
Back when I was your only
A time when we were
Very different people
If I could see how time
Has treated you and I
You've grown in all the ways
That I've regressed
A decade and hardly half a dozen
Thoughts of you
Condensed and overcome
And nullified
Effects of just a passing glimpse
Of someone who
I believed was you
But I was so foolish
A second glance would prove it wasn't
Even anyone resembling you

Accidentally Beautiful

Accidentally beautiful
Is how I remember you
Tossing in the night
With love in your eyes
Unintentionally appealing
To my senses
I should know better than this
Please teach me, your apprentice
So squander this affection
Mislead for my lesson
Just hurt me once
Then go away
Like an accident a day
Accidentally beautiful
Your fault for the second time
Or is it I can't stay away?
Your hands felt right this way
Quite intentionally inviting
Tickling my leg
But your smell is all I know
And my misfortune grows
So squander my affection
Mislead me your intention
Once, twice, a third, I know
You haunt me to this day
Accidentally beautiful
Is how I remember you
Accidentally beautiful
This pain is all I know
Accidentally beautiful
Is how I remember you
Accidentally beautiful
This pain is all I know
Accidentally beautiful
Is how I remember you
Accidentally beautiful
This pain is all I know
Accidentally beautiful

I caught myself talking to myself
Like you were listening
To each last strand of the thousands more
That we never get to saying anyway
Cause here's a song and there's a time and
When we learned it was was the best
I guess I feel safe with you in my head
Like you were witnessing
I think apologies are just my way
Of admitting I'm amazed
To have held your smile in a songwriter's bed
Unkempt in rhapsody
And even if I loose the thread
Your heart is still what keeps me coiled
Your breath helps me remember
All the being of your arms
I caught myself talking to myself
Like you were listening
I caught myself talking to myself
Like you were glistening
I caught myself talking to myself
Like you were Melissa-ing
I caught myself talking to myself
Like you were in love with me
I caught myself talking to myself
Like you were in love with me
I caught myself talking to myself
Like you were in love with me
