I've been sending you love through my rooftop wires I'm hoping those long lines lead to your door I know that you'll drive through the land of the fires And find me in between the streets and the starts I've been hearing your heart beating over and over In the afternoon rain as it falls to the ground And I'm holding your hand like a cold october Cause it's falling out of mine and into some wide open mouth Cause it's falling out of mine and travelling south

Pacifica 03:58
Chasin' waves down to Linda Mar and out over the horizon Mountains diving into blue blue blue water like your eyes and I'm diving in too Cause I wanna drive with you Up and down the California coast til the sun dies Over roads that wind away to the San Diego high tide If all of this is real I don't ever want to feel What life is like without you so buckle up My Pacifica Getting out of town on a rainy day leave the top down anyway Beach boys songs playing way too loud you can hear us from a mile away I would break all of the rules Just to spend another summer day with you Up and down the California coast til the sun dies Over roads that wind away to the Santa Barbara sunrise If all of this is real I don't ever want to feel What life is like without you so buckle up My Pacifica Let's head down to santa cruz so I can watch the waves with you Tshirts and bathing suits in June If all of this is real I don't ever wanna feel What life is like without you so buckle up My Pacifica

Fuzzy 01:38
Wherever you go I go I could find you with my eyes closed In a psychadelic rainbow Through a kaleidoscopic window Do you ever wonder If the clouds are friends with thunder And if we're going under I need to know the answers I always say The strangest things My mind is always running into how our lives could be If what was in my head Is the same as what I see It's a shame that in reality it's fuzzy like a dream
4.
Olive 04:35
Arms out as she walks in the room Blonde hair silver from the summer sun in June Passing time July is flying by I'm by her side Telling her that I'll see her soon Hardly looking at her in the dark Light it up I know she left her mark It's arson when she's got me burning up That summer heat I can never get enough Oh you wanna stay a little while Laughing with your humid summer smile All of your eyes all of our rides out to pretty views All I want is all of you I swear she tastes like ice cold lemonade Pour a glass and drink before it fades Talking fast and make it last all night alright Speechless even though I know exactly what to say We run back in the dark Her bright eyes in the streetlights will always leave their mark Staring at me watching me burn up That summer heat, I can never get enough Oh you wanna stay a little while Laughing with your humid summer smile All of your eyes all of our rides out to pretty views All I want is all of you Sliding through the doorway in my dreams Watch you as you enter like a movie scene All of your eyes, olive outlines, staring me right through All I want is all of you

Southern girls with blonded curls Laugh until you float in between Starry eyes and long goodbyes driving into darkened summer dreams Cold comes crashing on our heads pour the wine unmake the beds Bend the rules I'm into you, didn't hear a single word she said Running through a fragrant sky Pink and white and light blue eyes Telling me my favorite things honestly I swear she reads my mind Thank you notes and words she wrote suddenly start floating to my head Bend the rules I'm into you, now I'm hearing every word you said

Blue Loop 02:42
You seem to get me Cause you bend the rules You're like a storm cloud Over the moon These days I hate the view And I'm taking it out on you I thought You'd be more blue But that isn't quite true That isn't quite true Tonight My heart falls through Whatever door you drew Hurricanes Just out of view I know it must be you Fading into blue Blue
7.
Glimmer 04:17
I'm out of time You're on the first flight Back to the kind Of weather that you like I guess it keeps you warm Better than my arms Shiver For what it's worth Rainy days still hurt Because I loved them first Glimmer Of summer stars Midnight's lonely scars Receding into darkness Open your mind And operate Let it create A city by the bay Bridges spanning mountains but they Can't hold our weight Shiver For what it's worth Rainy days still hurt Because I loved them first Before I ever knew your name Glimmer Of summer stars Midnight's lonely scars Receding into dark Infinitely far away
8.
Astral 02:24
We will be together soon In lawn chairs on the moon We'll be sitting on the dune In the early afternoon Are you falling through the cracks I love you to the sun and back I will see you when we pass Because our orbits are attached
9.
When I was young I broke my arm I remember crying in the car My bone splintered into three different parts I didn't know the same could happen to my heart Happen to my heart Leave a light on So when I come home I know you remembered Keep your heart strong So when I come running on home I can count on you to forgive me Like when we were fifteen And our hearts hadn't broken before I know lately I've been stuck between here and gone I guess not much has changed since I was young Back then I had to learn to write left handed Later I learned about moving on Learned about moving on Leave a light on So when I come home I know you remembered Keep your heart strong So when I come stumbling home I can count on you to forgive me So that when we're fifty Our hearts don't break anymore

Film Noir 03:42
As you reach out to me can you feel it in your cheeks That's the weight of winter bearing down And your cynical streak gets wrapped up in your sheets Along with the straps of your gown Fluttering up to the porchlight It's always a matter of time Tired of waiting to see if you might Decide that you're ready to fly Increasingly bleak like sand in your teeth An encouraging plastic physique I'm adequately, cinematically sweet If only you'd follow my lead Fluttering up to the porchlight It's always a matter of time Tired of waiting to see if you might Decide that you're ready to fly Decide that you're ready to fly Fluttering up to the porchlight It's always a matter of mine Tired of waiting to see if you might Side with the rage in your eyes Or try to be patient and kind Pack up your room and study your lines Decide that you're ready

Bender 04:04
In August we went out in San Francisco You were laughing the whole night For a minute or forever I forgot about the rest of the world And all I could see were your eyes Just the kind of beauty I couldn't find And was starting to feel like I wouldn't find All I want is you Who would have thought I'd come back to this side Of the country and South Carolina would still blow my mind And it's been a long long while since I fell for anyone But I was falling starting at your eyes Calling you over to my side I was starting to feel like I might find That all I want is you All I want is you I can't believe that I didn't get it through Can you believe that I'm falling for you Can I hold your hand Or lean up against your collar while my heart expands If the fog rolls in I'll give you my sweater And hope it's enough to make you understand That all I want is you
12.
Breaker 05:36
You came crashing out the paper gates of hell On a sunny summer sunday in Carmel You couldn't forget what I said to you I never thought you'd be that blue I'm so regular You're my breaker And I'm so particular That's why you're my breaker Please slow down You ask me as I'm driving to your house I told you that I'd turn the car around On a summer sunday with nothing to do I never could figure out how to change your mood I'm so regular You're my breaker And I'm so particular That's why you're my breaker Drive away, come inside, watch those fading taillights It's so dark overnight, I don't really want to fight And I know that you know I would never last alone In your room I'm so regular You're my heartbreaker I'm so particular You're my windbreaker I'm so granular You're my dealbreaker I'm so irregular You're my breaker

Cold October 04:22
I moved back from the east When I was 23 And I felt like a hologram of me Reading magazines And eating tangerines In a summer sun unlike one I had seen I missed my friends But I found a new lens To look through as the planes went by On top of my roof I found a way through And I came out on the other side Some nights I would leave And wander in the street Looking at the houses up the hill In my summer blues They reminded me of you Windows into lives that still keep running on I missed my friends This is now, that was then And I dream about forest fires On top of my roof I found a way through And I came out on the other side I've been sending you love through my rooftop wires I'm hoping those long lines lead to your door I know that you'll drive through the land of the fires And find me in between the streets and the starts I've been hearing your heart beating over and over In the afternoon rain as it falls to the ground And I'm holding your hand like a cold october Cause it's falling out of mine and into some wide open mouth Cause it's falling out of mine and travelling south

about

It's rained a lot lately in SF so I finally had time to finish a bunch of songs that I left half baked over the past 6 months. I made this on my phone (steve lacy style). Hope you enjoy!
