Winter Love
03:38
|
|||
Are we going out tonight or should we stay in?
Say, I’m just fine with eating this food again
I don’t know why
I chase the clouds like I really want to feel the rain
I dream out loud I get down to it in my way
I don’t know why I want to make you cry
You are my whole life, my artifice
Sitting in plain sight, you can’t hear this
At the open mic poetry night
This is where we’re sealing it with a kiss
Trade in the good fight for ordinary bliss
At the open mic poetry night
I carry a slight, slight fever at the tip of my pen
But are we too tired for another revolution, friend
Are we just fine?
Say, let’s give up watch the white falling from above
Turn up our collars, I’ll give you my winter love
My winter love

The pictures fly by
The notes flow like a river running into a greater mess
It makes me feel high
You make me want a new beginning
I know it’s a lot to confess
The still life slide show on the ceiling
Is all I have been seeing
I’m ready for a different feeling
Crush my favourite earrings
First thing in the morning
Who can ever tell if long gone are our days of glory?
If best of times have been spent?
I threw my youth away walking in a daze, so sorry
Daylight hits the edge of our bed
I want it this time
I want you and our rest stop mornings
I know it’s a lot to confess
My secrets piled high
I wish you warm at every dawning
We both deserve no less

Little Pieces
04:23
|

I’m happy you chose to go that night
On a train to the coast with neon lights
I travel every day through stories read
On a west-facing chair, sun around my head
I’m happy you chose to go
The weather was good though it’s a haze
I made a new home on moving day
And even if we ever grow apart
l cut up little pieces of your heart
So even if we end up in the dark
I’ll hold them in my pocket it’s a start
The wrong vase for a rose, that’s all right
I’ll be using up the floor for things I write
Drinking bottles from the back of the cabinet
Falling into bed wearing my headsets
The wrong vase for a rose, that’s all right
Are you sitting at your window looking out tonight?
On a train to the coast, it never stops
You’re all they’ve got, these places want you
The weather was good though it’s a haze
I made a new home on moving day
And even if we ever grow apart
l cut up little pieces of your heart
So even if we end up in the dark
I’ll hold them in my pocket it’s a start
And even if we ever grow apart
l cut up little pieces of your heart
So even if we end up in the dark
Your body is a living work of art

Birthday Letter
03:00
|
|

Wrote you one more birthday letter
Life’s a flash in the pan
At the very end of October
I’m not making any plans
Wrote you one more birthday letter
Did you read what it said?
How the world can become much brighter
When the season turns to red
Ferdinand my easy-going man
Understand
Go easy on me, man
I’ve been dying trying to reach you
Chasing shadows in the night
Dabbing furniture with your perfume
Conversations in my mind
All my loving is turning into
An empty promise, painted white
I’ll be staying up past the curfew
In the bars of Morin-Heights

Incandescence
04:20
|
|

How I never thought I would meet you then be
Sharing all my nineties high school stories, late fees
How I never thought I would leave you lonely
Sure hope all these tears we cry be for something worthy
Goodbye City see the promise
Single speckle in my iris
My phone glows incandescent
I just want to blow up and do my thing
Endless crowd cheering
Who could ever ask for more?
I know you like to build a fire, natural thrills
Boy, what are you fearing?
Is it like a perfect storm?
I ain’t going back to the bleachers
I’ll be coming up with new features
I’ll be reaching out for my future
I ain’t going back to the bleachers

Oiseau de malheur
04:03
|
|

I’m lying in my long chair in the afternoon sun
Is he ever the one?
Who cares it’s all for fun
He’s turning up the music, pulling up in a Buick
Is he ever the one?
Who cares it’s all for fun
Dreams will fade away with every new day
In your white t-shirt get ready for work
I left fresh-cut fruit
I left it all for you
Tu vas tout foutre en l’air
Mon oiseau de malheur
Tu vas tout foutre en l’air
Mon oiseau de malheur
Tu vas tout foutre en l’air
The sound of screeching tires, I am so sleepy tired
Today we feel the weather, today we come together
There’s loving beyond summer, the world is growing warmer
Today we feel the weather, today we come together
Chemise repassée au petit matin
Les rêves clairsemés d’un revers de la main
Les fruits découpés
Puis tu t’es défilé

It Girl
03:27
|
|

Bomb in the backseat
I feel your heartbeat
So keep the tears from falling from your eyes
I feel your heartbeat
We’ll find a way to cheat
So don’t you be too quick to cry
It girl was born so soon
Under a full moon
As they were throwing salt on ice
It girl’s the living proof
Emotion through the roof
So don’t you be too quick to cry
Bomb in the backseat
I feel your heartbeat
So keep the tears from falling from your eyes
She gets what she wants
It girl knows you got it
She gets what she wants
You’ll lose if you fight it

Instant Classic
04:57
|
|

Is it me or are we all missing in the streets?
Car on neutral down the hill with no one in the driver’s seat
Is it me or are we all missing in the cold?
Dreams are just a canvas on which colours silently explode
I want to be wrong, be right for you one day
Climb into your lust, your light and hear you say
Instant classic you’ve got it made
Instant classic you’re so fucking great
Instant classic you’ve got it made
I set fire to the curtains, washed the sheets
No this new apartment isn’t really changing how I feel
I kept the piece of paper crumpled up in my purse
You wrote ‘I want out, I want it all, I’m making matters worse’
Laying on my side so you might just look at me
With all my attempts and tries, thing of beauty
I want to be wrong, be right for you one day
Climb into your lust, your light and hear you say

Rising Star
04:32
|
|||
I was hiding, living with the seasons
I was hiding for different reasons
Then I saw it on the far horizon
By the nightfall a star was rising
In providence I don’t think I believe
Coincidence or serendipity
But tonight I feel it watching over me
Like a rising star across a sullen sea
I came so far, moved so quietly
How did you get to me?
You are like a rising star across the sullen sea
How did you get to me?
Hold me here or set my spirit free
Here you are a rising star
Endless city of several million
I’m a woman of a few connections
When I saw you in a crowded station
Felt I had been through this situation
There’s something in you that I recognize
I don’t dare to look you in the eyes
In providence I don’t think I believe
But tonight I feel it watching over me

Boy Wonder
03:53
|
|

Boy wonder and me all day making beats
I’d bring us hot gin and tea with something to eat
Boy wonder and me all day making beats
Come listen, come closer, hear
It’s not for the weak
There are ghosts in every place our music resonated
On bedroom floors, in rented space
We once were
Just a couple of gifted children
Brushing knots in our golden locks
Just a couple of gifted children
With each other around the clock
If ever need be I’m saving this beat
I can’t shake these fantasies
From my old PC
There are ghosts everywhere our music on the air
On late-night shows, Victoria Square
We once were
Just a couple of gifted children
Brushing knots in our golden locks
Just a couple of gifted children
With each other around the clock
I know just what to say if I drop you a line
I’m alone let these fantasies dance in my mind
I know it’s not the same if I drop you a line
I’m alone let these fantasies dance in my mind
