Setlist + Lyrics

one mississippi

face to the sun, dust in my eyes
i’m looking for you, i’m looking real hard
the wind is so loud, breathing in my ears
i’m tapping my fingers, you never go far

wandering around, praying for rain
i want to tell you i should’ve brought my coat
the heaviest thoughts take their time in my head
life has taken me, taken me by the throat

the lightning was close, my hairs stood on ends
tried counting seconds, one mississippi
i take some comfort in unfinished lines
i found you, maybe you were looking for me

unreleased


the ground changed direction

i let the tall grass swallow me up
summer dirt wet with rain
i let the water tap like fingertips
felt the grass and mud stain

in the time it takes to get across the ocean
i could lie here, never move again

i climbed and climbed but lost my way
swear the ground, it changed direction
my hands refused to carry my weight
my thoughts open to dissection

in the time it takes to fight hard enough to win
i could sink in, never fight again

fresh cut grass and dusty earth
summer shade and a view
i let clouds roll in, dark and grey
landscapes change and i do

song every seven


a long way

i’ll take the messiness of this
over the certainty i longed for
by the light of a day barely starting
this isn’t everything but something more

always worried about the future, present, past
worried now and that’s all right
by the grace of the road you’re traveling
i’ll meet you between yours and mine

some days sway
with the heaviness of it all
even though we tread so lightly

if i don’t see you, tell me if you got this
it’s a long way to your eyes
by the light of a city in distress
i hope you make it out, make it out in time

what lives and what grows


long and lonely arms

made up my mind to be on time for you
i want to give more of what you need
taking chances, i’m saving my dances, you know
i’ve never been one to lead

in the longest night, i’ll get it right again
these tests weren’t made for people like me
feel it in the wind, your body spins in time
like the whole world is dancing free

saw you leave, the way you held back
saw the way the light hit your eyes

i walk your street and every tree it reaches
with its long and lonely arms
at your doorstep, with all that’s left i’m holding
we’ll keep each other from all harm

what lives and what grows


the quiet sea

i took the path that you told me to
lit the way with the evening sun
felt my feet push with every step
where the stones sink in the mud

i asked every living creature i met
do you know where i should go?
somewhere between every place i’ve been
and the walls that were your home

guess i know you in a way
soundless waves and desert pines
ran through the nighttime searching
in vain for the morning light

and i know you’re waiting
by those giant rocks, the quiet sea

i collected every page you wrote
and burned your words to keep warm
fought my way through the coldest, darkest night
and still came back for more

and i know you’re waiting
by those giant rocks, the quiet sea

what lives and what grows


the road between

i’ll be leaving in the morning, i’ll be gone and on my way
i’ll be looking for you, darling every single step i take
the road may be long and winding and i’m no good at directions
but i will find my way across, yes, i will find my way

i’ll buy a bag of flower seeds and when they finally bloom
i’ll tie a ribbon ‘round the stem and deliver them to you
the soil’s bad and water’s scarce and the weeds they grow so tall
but they will find a way to blossom, they will find their way

this trucker’s atlas is too old, these roads are all shut down
the planes have all been grounded but the buses they got out
may take some time to get there and my feet are worn and sore
but i will find my way to you, yes, i will find my way

saw each other on the road between nowhere and nowhere else
you were with your dogs and i was by myself
my map was torn and faded but you had one of your own
and we will find our way across, yes, we will find our way

bee a bear

you, the unknown

i can see this wearing thin
hairline cracks have grown
this is heavy, not sinking in
bracing for the unknown

what year is this? fill me in
i’m trying to find my home
do i know you? is this somewhere i’ve been?
heading toward the unknown

the rain came before morning
and fell so softly on our bones
saw your face when you let the light in
looking past the unknown

i’ll hold my breath and cover my skin
and i’ll wait like i’ve been shown
the fire burns as the night drifts in
i’ll wait for you, the unknown

song every seven


the almost morning light

in the quietest moment i’m listening for you
in the almost morning light i’m listening for you

snow and ice are melting
dripping into the gutters
brightness noise returning
today moves like the others

stare up at the old trees, they’ll surely outlast me
these houses creak and shift, they’ll surely outlast me

saved a baby bird
saved it from a dog bite
ran from a fisher cat
its scream tore through the night

in the quietest moment it all comes rushing in
in the almost morning light it all comes rushing in

i want to see what you saw
in those final moments
150 million miles away
you disappeared in the silence

in the quietest moment i’m listening for you
in the almost morning light i’m listening for you

song every seven
