Girl's Got A Smile

Girl's got a smile
Tooth gapped and wired
Stepping so carefully
Eyes are still tired and I'm told that I'm getting old
Mother won't approve but we've both got nothing to lose
Home's got a shine
A love left in time
The same grey, cracked pavements and walls stacked with lies
But I'm sold on a city so cold
That on my worst days I'll struggle to long for the haze
We've been walking a while
Mile upon mile
Each aching step slowly taking your smile
And it's true that I'm pushing it
We force limbs to move
You're longing for bed and sleep soon
Girl's got a smile
Tooth gapped and wired
Stepping so carefully
Eyes are still tired and I'm told that I'm getting old
Father won't approve but we've both got nothing to lose
Mother won't approve but we've both got nothing to lose

Despite Your Doubts

Round the track we've been I'm on my last lap
I'm running thin, losing patience
The laughter's contagious
If only it stopped being fun
And despite your doubts
You'll never mean nothing to no one
Ring-a-ring of sin I'll be burning crosses soon
You're looking thin, never gain grace
Hide away to save face
I probably won't be there when you're 21
And despite your doubts
You'll always mean something to someone
You gave me Saint Valentine
I'll give you Joan of Arc
And American Football in the dark
Just give me Saint Valentine
I'll show you longest nights
And we'll sleep to Bright Eyes in daylight
You can overthink nights away if you need to
I'll wait for as long as it takes you
Are you ever afraid that
We'll always be waiting for the summer sun
And despite your doubts
You'll never mean nothing to no one
You'll always mean something to someone
You'll always mean everything to me

Bygones Begin

The city took our constellations
The lights take simple pleasures from me
Doing dot-to-dot, counting shapes and getting lost
Woken by nightmares of bloodclots
Taking another's heart
Tearing a twosome in half
When five becomes three
Three becomes two
Two becomes one
You'd better run
When your mother's sick and helpless
Will you find it in yourself to forgive?
When your mother's sick and helpless
Will the end of bygones begin?
Problems won't fix themselves
Holes won't fill on their own
Recorded conversations
Fingers ready at 999
A lie, a visit and a sigh
When five becomes three
Three becomes two
Two becomes one
You'd better run
When your mother's sick and helpless
Will you find it in yourself to forgive?
When your mother's sick and helpless
Will the end of bygones begin?

Early Hour Airports

Early hour airports
Who let loose the walking dead?
We're fighting off sleep
Waiting on our next meet
Were you scared?
Busy streets are useless
There's no more joy in town
We get up, we collapse
We grow better, relapse
And you said
I sweat out the night
You sleep it through just fine
I'll wait out the night
You'll sleep it through just fine
Your words might be damning
But I've got penance in sound
Whatever makes me feel this way on my worst days can stay
