I'll be swimming in the lonely water I'll be dancing with the king of kings I could be with a hundred others But I'm waiting for you Waiting on you On lover's day when we went away last summer On lover's day when we thought we knew one another On lover's day Well it was very hot and sticky So you decided to take off my dress Well like ruffians we rumbled, we got caught up in the tumble When you ripped my sleeve it was a bad sign On lover's day when we went away last summer On lover's day when we thought we knew one another On lover's day I've been living in this far away land in a portal of time and space They've got a holiday that goes by the same name now you know couples haunt me on the hill Oh you haunt me still On lover's day On lover's day when we went away last summer Oh I'm still haunted on the hill On lover's day I think about you still Well every month or so I drive from place where I grew up To the place I fell in love with the girl who loves me best And the whole time I'm just shouting out the window Fuckin up the words to every single song And thinking about holding you again On lover's day this summer we'll be civil we'll be kind I will keep your clothes in tact, I'll try my hardest not to mind how irresistible you look swimming through that summer rain On lover's day I'll hold you in refrain

Long summer hair with the windows down We were bathing in the water of the beauty we had found She was a queen but I was a clown Everything ended like a bullet to a crown I found a fountain in the hills of New York And I washed my hands of the blood that we poured I found a lover who was hiding in the sand She took me by the arm yeah she took me by the hand And she took me down to where the young souls war Behind the parking lot of the pizza store And I held her to my heart and I told her what I thought Baby, I know you got it So come on up, my darling I’ve been waiting for you here A little ray of sunlight will make our scratches disappear If you wanna dance, I can bring a pair of shoes Wrap me in your arms and teach me how to move Well, me and my baby we been on the run ever since Searching for paradise in folded up tents She says that I don’t like talking in the future tense, But my mind’s always filling up with plans. But lately I’ve noticed a distance A distance between you and me I’m not sure how wide it really is But I’m fearing, I’m fearing Now the spring is upon us and our backs are to the state These chains will untangle us in strange ways Everybody’s leaving for some foreign coast, But me and my baby we gonna take it slow So come on up, my darling I’ve been waiting for you here A little ray of sunlight will make our scratches disappear I know a place where all the lonely pilgrims go I know you’re scared but if we don’t try you’ll never know Pack the car in the middle of the night Leave the apartment for the last time Drive down state to where the empire lies Drive across that river into the dark, into the fire Well after tonight our bodies will be free Nothing left behind us but what we choose to see And I can feel it running like a current underneath I don’t know much but I know one thing: Happiness and good times are coming.

Memories of sleep how they haunt me all the time Things that don't really matter consuming my mind You don't need to hold your breath Keep on blowing smoke from that same cigarette You don't need to think cause for once it's automatic Like that time that you said "hello" You were talking in your monotone I could feel the beat move through my bones Caught up in the visceral Memories of sleep how they haunt my reverie things that don't really matter much at all to me You don't need to apologize for taking your time Keep on giving reason to my rhyme You don't need to think cause for once it's automatic Like that time that you said hello I kinda feel like losing control And now can you see my soul and what lies below?

Well we went swimming in the water Then we went driving in our wet clothes You had a towel wrapped around your waist And I was dreaming how to let go You took me up so high And then you taught me how to get down We hit that water with a splash Then we went swimming from the waist down Now, baby I know That there are reasons you say that love don’t exist But baby you know All you gotta do is turn around and give me a kiss And you call me closer, Marilyn Pluck my feathers one by one I’ll be your friend, Marilyn But we were struck by a lover who went and married another Well hey, I wanna say to you today- How many days have left us broken? Still we rejoice in things unspoken I’ve got a lot of things on my mind Let’s just relax into the ocean. Well, we were sitting on the edge Of 2nd Dam in the summer heat All we needed was one slip And all that love we dreamed of would never ever be But you call me closer, Marilyn We make love that’s never been I owe it all to Marilyn You keep me warm in the winter time I touched your heart but you smoldered mine Bitter like some cheap red wine ; Sweet like drunken pumpkin pie Well hey, I just wanna take you away How many days have left us broken? Still we rejoice in things unspoken I’ve got a lot of things on my mind Let’s just relax into the ocean.

Ask for all the pictures in my brain I can't control the way they start to fade You don't need to hold me now I'm gone on holiday Feeling swirls of coffee running midnight through my veins After all this time I can learn to set you free You don't need to be a part of me You say I'm a liar but I wanna dance Dancing in the sweet romance And I'm sorry I don't know Yeah I'm sorry to let you go Now you've gone and found another home But I've still got no one to call my own You don't need to hold me now I've gone on holiday Feeling swirls of coffee running midnight through my veins After all this time I can learn to set you free You don't need to be a part of me You say I'm a liar but I wanna dance Dancing in the sweet romance And I'm sorry I don't know Yeah I'm sorry to let you go

I miss my car, I miss my wife I send letters in my mind I’m not well but I’m alright and I’m getting better all the time But if you stare into my eyes and you see a blinding light I’m forgetful And I apologize if I treated you unwisely I won’t sit and waste your time You already know everything I am We’ve got means but there’s no end Liquid fights in front of friends We’ve forgotten how to speak in front of quiet company Taking solace in our sleep On the hunt for the navel of the dream I just wanna feel better I just wanna feel sober and complete We’ve been living this whole time You were always on my side Oh I feel you in my bones I taste you in the coffee in the morning When I wake up alone I hear your voice and see your eyelids Oh but you push me away Then you pull me in I love the waves We’re dancing. Oh but I will never understand No I will never understand Why you are so good to me.
