These Days

Let out an audible sigh
in the middle of my drive
there was a dead cat on the side of the highway
I’d been wanting less sound
craving something more profound
I saw your name appear before I felt the phone vibrate
and oh, oh, oh
that’s how it tends to go these days
and oh, oh, oh
oh, oh
In the middle of June
the mosquitoes came too soon
we were drinking beers on the porch by your driveway
all the things that lie beneath
deserve the time and space to breathe
you smelled me there before you knew just where I’d been hiding
and oh, oh, oh
that’s how it tends to go these days
and oh, oh, oh
oh, oh
that’s how it tends to go
I get so emotional, baby
everytime I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
ain’t it shocking what love can do
I get so emotional, baby
everytime I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
ain’t it shocking what love can do
shocking what love can do
and oh, oh, oh
that’s how it tends to go these days
and oh, oh, oh
oh, oh
that’s how it tends to go
and oh, oh, oh
that’s how it tends to go these days
and oh, oh, oh
oh, oh
let out an audible sigh
in the middle of my drive
there was a dead cat on the side of the highway

Almost

Almost as cute as you used to be
almost as nice as they think you are
almost arrived when we said we would
almost followed through on the things we knew we could
it’s getting dark
I’m almost old
your hand’s too hot
my heart’s not cold enough to start
to begin to figure out another line
yeah, this story’s getting much too messy now
I need an editor
you need a map
I need someone to trust me when I say
that I know when it’s time to stop
but I’m not ready yet
unless you wanna make a bet
no, I’m not ready yet
unless you wanna make a bet
unless you wanna
almost as cute as you used to be
almost as nice as they think you are
almost arrived when we said we would
almost followed through on the things we knew we could
it’s getting dark
I’m almost old
your hand’s too hot
my heart’s not cold enough to start
to begin to figure out another line
yeah, this story’s getting much too messy now
I need an editor
you need a map
I need someone to trust me when I say
that I know when it’s time to stop
but I’m not ready yet
unless you wanna make a bet
no, I’m not ready yet
unless you wanna make a bet
Good luck, my darlin’
good night, good night
good luck, my darlin’
good night, good night
