Flight to JFK

You got a roll of film, oh honey
I’ve got a night to kill
Let’s go out on this town and make a little trouble
I got a place in mind
Drink a big ol’ beer in a big ol’ stein
We can knock ‘em all back till we’re seeing double
Hmm
Hmm
I like making you laugh, oh honey
I like the small of your back
Run my fingers up and down while we’re lying in bed
Let’s go walk in the park
We can find a bit of grass till the sky gets dark
I’ll bring hummus and a blanket and a bottle of red
And the clouds are bold and bright
California fades away
And my heart is full and light
On this flight to JFK
If only just to see you for a day
Hmm
New York winter is cold, oh honey
I run hotter than most
Put your hand in my pocket if you need to get warm
Scrabble in the afternoon, cook dinner
Pasta with ricotta for two
Sit on the sofa by the fire while we weather the storm
And the clouds are bold and bright
California fades away
And my heart is full and light
On this flight to JFK
If only just to see you for a day
Hmm
Saturday, stumble through the Guggenheim
Talk in funny accents off and on
Either way, it’s nice to hold your hand in mine
It’s not a cliché if it’s in a song
You always find a way to sing along
You got a roll of film, oh honey
I’ve got a night to kill
Let’s go out on this town and make a little trouble
And the clouds are bold and bright
California fades away
And my heart is full and light
On this flight to JFK
If only just to see you for a day
Hmm

Grail Quest

Last week a girl I’d been seeing for a couple months
Sat me down, told me that we should be friends
Well I can’t pretend that I didn’t see it coming
Hmmm
Last night I went home with someone I met at the postgame
This morning I sat at a diner alone
Should have known that’s no way to find loving
Hmmm
You’re somewhere on the trail
Maybe I’m on a grail quest
Is it hopeless
But some way, some day
We’ll plant a tree in our front yard and
It’ll reach for the sky as our garden grows
When it’s just you and me
Drinking coffee or tea
In the morning at home
You were always someone that I was bound to know
I wonder if you sleep with socks on
Or like to camp under the stars
Or do shots at the bar with your friends
I think I’ll like them
But no guarantees
Hmmm
Do you like the smell of the sidewalk
Right after it rains in July
Do sad songs makes you cry in a good way
You know I’m the same way
Just wait and see
Hmmm
You’re somewhere on the trail
Maybe I’m on a grail quest
Is it hopeless
But some way, some day
We’ll plant a tree in our front yard and
It’ll reach for the sky as our garden grows
When it’s just you and me
Drinking coffee or tea
In the morning at home
You were always someone that I was bound to know

Fig Tree

The way I love her’s like an old karate movie
Where the villain rips my heart out from my chest
The way my stomach leaps into my throat
The way she looks in a fancy dress
Blood is rushing through my veins
A rooftop gutter after rain
I’m overflowing onto the ground
I’ve always said more than I’ve meant to say
I wonder if she thinks that now
Tonight I’m drinking with the boys
I’m tryna drown out all the noise
I’m never good at being tough
Plot twist but it’s really no surprise
Can she see weakness in my eyes
And will I always be enough
For love
Hmmm
A black cat runs across the street
I laugh at its banality
And crash my car into the traffic sign
I’ve never been so superstitious
Maybe I should try it out this time
I am once again having impure thoughts
About saving the world
I thought that I had outgrown all that shit
She says life keeps branching out like a fig tree
Some point you gotta stop and pick
Tonight I’m drinking with the boys
I’m tryna drown out all the noise
I’m never good at being tough
Plot twist but it’s really no surprise
Can she see weakness in my eyes
And will I always be enough
For love
For love
For love
Hmmm
