gentlemen, quiet
I hope you’re not too drunk to listen
and I don’t slur too much to speak
there’ll be mistakes in my words but no lies
look how shy you are with me
can’t we do a proper exchange of beauty
for your mind to possess and reveal me
but God, you revile me
I see it in your eyes
don’t leave me so fucking impotent
I don’t know what you really meant
I belong underneath your winter coat
I’ve been up for humiliation
given everything you’ve taken
I have broken all the rules for you (so don’t go)
snakecharmer
I’m not the only one who sees it
but I hate how to you I’m just like all the others
maybe a little more rude
are you just ashamed of what they’d say, or is it me?
repeat chorus
swear I’ve tried a hundred times, believe me
or I wouldn’t do it this way
hundred times or I wouldn’t do it this way
swear I’ve tried or I wouldn’t do it this way
repeat chorus

where does it come from?
your sweet wisdom
you teach me that it should be easy, and it is
maybe your hometown?
or your three-story townhouse?
I could watch you watch those blue doors all day
I know we’re both aching for something
I wish I weren’t aching for you
cause I don’t wanna lose the easy tender way you love me
I don’t really feel like loading all the sweet things up with something heavy
I’m blissfully falling / I’ll do it if you let me
you just look so pretty!!
you just look so prettyyyy...
if something’s hurting, museum person, I swear I’ll drown it out
and if it’s happy, like I know it will be, invite me
I could watch you watch those paintings all day
repeat chorus
god, who made that deal with the devil that you could have that face
I am so patiently waiting for nothing to change
god who made that deal with the devil that you could have that face
and I would sit here and want it
repeat chorus
you're just so pretty
you're just so pretty

put nothing at stake but what’s at stake
and I will wrap you in my still embrace
so long as I don’t shake
you can come back to my room and we’ll sleep awake
I am afraid
that one day I’ll wake up and you’ll freeze!
break into a hundred little pieces
I am afraid of that day, I am so afraid of that day (x2)
and oh, let me inside
I’ll wait for it to be over
the empty tide
I’ll let it wash over my feet
I’ll weather it for you and I’d do it every single time
and please don’t tear up this body from which you feel so estranged!
I know it’s not about that but I see it in your face
and I am afraid
I am afraid of that day I’m so afraid of that day I’m so afraid of that day
maybe you need someone to take it
I have never felt so helpless in my life
and oh let me inside
I’ll wait for it to be over
the empty tide
I’ll let it wash over me
I’ll weather it for you and I’d do it every single time
I’d wait on you every time
I’d take your place anytime
I’d take your place anytime
I’d take your place anytime
I’d take your place anytime
let the load off

make me a man
so I can marry the woman I love
haven’t I been living as one
since I met you
since we were young
forget your heavy cares
I’ll see you in the morning if I’m still there
I love you and I despair of being able to do that
and I wish I didn’t have to choose between this body and losing you
I love you and I wish I didn’t know how to do that
when we were children
would we have played on the same soccer team?
I would have liked that so much
just to know you and read you from across the field
I would burn it all down to do that just once
forget about it this time
this one’s on me and my mother
I’ll see you in the morning if it all works out
repeat chorus
please for once can we not talk about me x2
forget what’s stressing you out
I wish I could be a source of something sweet and not to worry about
repeat chorus
but I do
but I do
I love you
yes I do

Yours First

you write for this magazine I like
so I pretend to know Days of Heaven for you
if we finish this omelet in the great hall tonight
will you be someone I can count on tomorrow
gulp me in
I'll pretend I’m not soaking you up
with every pore of mine
and in a split second
I can imagine
record player in our kitchen
I’ll swear that I’m listening but I’m looking at you
in a minute
I’ll be a memory
it’s cold on the counter
where I wait for you to call me
I swear I’ll have your kid first and that’s how bad I want you
is it wrong to mourn our little future?
before it’s gone and happened or not happened or whatever
will I put a sticky note over your name
when I read it on the screen
and blot you out forever?
will my heart will drop when I see you next
soak me up while you can
my truth is just like a circle there's no beginning or middle
i can't find an edge or a seam if I could touch you I'll know that I'm dreaming
my truth is just like a circle there's no beginning or middle
i can't find an edge or a seam I'm on the lookout for ultimate meaning
soak me up from every pore til I’m just parts of you
I swear I’ll have your kid first
if you let me

and i miss you already
by Raavi
familiar and comforting but also like nothing i've ever heard before. not raw, but pure and unadulterated. so so so so good :'0
go to album
I love maggie's breakout ep and her most recent singles~ the music is kind of refreshing and bouncy and original. but her early songs are different, and they're great too: raw, beautiful banjo magic.
go to album
opened for them at a house show in new haven ct and they were phenomenal. live, they sound like a punkier vampire weekend. fun and sweet.
