about

after the earthquake
pictures hanging diagonally
drive-thru crying in a milkshake
it wasn't built to last
up in the front seat
you were playing with the station
and i was fidgeting with the heat
looking back to the vibrant days of racket in the hall
caution to the breeze
say you'll climb your way out of your wake now
velvet curtain drawn
flowers at your feet
say you'll contemplate how you're weighed down
the pulse of the brake light is the colour of burning embers
if you wake up will you remember the awful things i said at the edge of the bed?
thrashing like a great white (i feel the northern tide crashing on the pines)
as they rolled you up on a stretcher
and the faint words of jessica fletcher were drowned out
by the sound of racket in the hall
caution to the breeze
say you'll climb your way out of your wake now
those days i'd never let you fall apart
but things fade like the scent of a brand new car
why would i ever fall in love again
when every detail is over the guardrail?
say you'll climb your way out of your wake now
say you'll contemplate how you're weighed down
are you awake now?

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
