Spill Your Lungs
I would walk with a hand at your back
And you would walk with your hand in my back pocket
I would joke that you would steal my wallet
And you would laugh and you’d say, no I wouldn’t
We could spend our hearts all over this town for nothing
We could spend our hearts all over this town for nothing
We would stop for a drink later
After we were tired of moving
And you would know someone in the tavern
Who could maybe tell us of this coming winter
We could spill our wine all over this town for nothing
We could spill our wine all over this town for nothing
After we thought that it had become quite easy
I would make a joke that was not funny
But sincerely quite offensive
From a time when I was reckless
We could scream our lungs out in this town for nothing
We could scream our lungs out in this town for nothing
Maybe I should have set my goals much further
Than like the Northern Star’s wish to burn for just one night
Maybe I should have mentioned
That I was not built for this kind of loving
We’re going to chase each other around this town for nothing
We’re going to chase each other around this town for nothing

Book of Love
So you’re reading the Book of Love
And your favourite pages
They are marked by the spots that you like
I make mistakes sometimes
I often don’t get it right
I make mistakes sometimes
I often don’t get it right
In talking we get along just fine
But in walking I’m always four or five steps behind
I can’t keep up
With what’s moving on your mind
I make mistakes sometimes
I often don’t get it right
So you’re reading the Book of Love
And your favourite pages
They are marked by the spots that you like
I make mistakes sometimes
I often don’t get it right
I make mistakes sometimes
I often don’t get it right

BOAT!
I am sitting and I am writing to you
Thumbing through old photos of myself
Deciding which one I’m going to send home to you
Because I do not have a telephone to call
If this was some kind of dream
Then it is one that I could keep together
And right now I am waiting for you to come in
So I can remember the softness of your skin
I love you in the snow in the wilderness
And I love you in the snow wherever you are
But mostly I love you when you’re in the snow that’s in my arms
Because that’s where I always am

Bike Thief
I met all my friends again last night in a bar
Northland Gin
It tastes like conversation
And it comes up again
You locked our bikes together
I thought it was a good idea
It lasted all night friend
We locked ourselves together in a certain way
You help me out and I will help you out
We’re lucky it’s a simple combination
Last call for conversation
The lights are on
And we are sinking way down in our chairs
We don’t say much of anything
Even though there’s still a lot to say
The lights are on
And maybe we should just ride home

Blue
I decided long ago
Never to laugh again
I decided long ago
Never to cry again
I made my list
I’ve thrown them all in
Made my list
I’ve thrown them all in
Never to laugh again
Never to love again
So I’m blue
So I’m blue
So I’m blue
So I’m blue

Sweetest May
Sweetest May it is not your luck
If terrible things are happening to your friends
Hold out kid because you’ve got it right
You can read the statements
Burned into the leather and saved from the cutter
I could see this coming
While they were waiting guessing
And you were outside waiting
So I took too long to decide to go that night
It’s too cold to walk
There’s no cabs on this block
I’m uptown ready to fun
There’s two maps to see
This is some tourist dream
But a bit too close to the lake
Sweetest May it is not your luck
Hold out kid because this has nothing to do with your faults

Switch the Engineer
All the lights are off and no one is home
Leave a note that says that we stopped by
Just to talk for a while
I miss those old days sometimes
How long has it been since we’ve been friendly
Longer than a sin should go on living
All because I was not happy
Just because I thought that I was too busy
Messenger of news where are you coming from
Should I let myself give in and trust you
And reverse my built in sadness
A crazy horse that’s impossible to harness
We should get ourselves out of these shadows
Switch the engineer whom darkness follows
Relax and enjoy the weather
Just get old experiencing our time

This Place
This place is a very good place to be
And I’m starting to know it well
I’m trying to see the whole world as just one friend
And open up to influence
What’s slow is slow
What’s fast is fast
What’s right may be right
What’s wrong may be wrong
Who says it’s wrong
