I was on the 126 at 11 pm at night on a Monday
with my coat on & a cigarette in hand
I tried my best to do the best that I could to keep my mind focused on the road
I watched the smoke from my cigarette slowly drift
Swinging away with the wind as the air breathes
The only thing I can think of was all those times we spent together
Memories that will always be kept
Memories that I'll never forget
I heard the sound of your heart beating miles away
I felt the heat of your steady breathing miles away
You're just like a ghost only my tired eyes can see
Am I fool for still believing?
You were my sea & I was you anchor
In our eyes we believed this could be love
The kind that would last forever
The truth is..
I was only anchoring you down
while I was drowning in a cloud of false hope
Drowning in a sea of over thinking
Surrounded by these autumn leaves
I'd like to say I'm not that great
I'm far from perfect,
in your eyes I know I'm not worth your time
& I know I should try to forget, but I don't want to forget you
I can't forget 'cause I don't want to forget you

For the past couple of years I've been writing songs about this love I've found
There was always something about her whenever she was around me that I couldn't quite figure out
The night we drove back from San Diego
My hand held yours while I was driving and you were sitting on the passenger seat
There was a moment of silence while our music was playing
The world stopped for a second & I heard your voice
You said you loved me
I genuinely knew that I loved you too
For the first time in such a great while I felt at ease
I could finally breathe
There's one thing about love that you can easily forget
It's not the easiest of feelings & it takes the effort of two hearts to connect
The sea isn't always calm
There's always a storm in every story
I wish I didn't think that our story was close to what perfect may be
I suppose I missed our world & it's calm sea
I wish I did everything differently
I wish we still had another chance at love
The look in your eyes when the sun set
They filled up with words I'll never forget
You spoke so silently
Those words defined everything so quietly
I thought if I held you close everything would fall back into place
I guess I’ll pack my bags & move to the east coast
Maybe you’ll notice, but I know you won’t
How can we see the light & then see nothing at all?

Northern Stay

Day after day, I've been falling forward into the past
Day after day, I've been falling forward toward the sea
I found a place in my head
& it's been raining since the day I left that Northern Stay
Now I'm stuck here waiting for the sun to show
I found myself lost in a great divide
I was wrong all along & you were right
I always seem to runaway from every mistake I ever make
Leaving myself waiting forever & a day
Feeling so alone
Feeling so goddamn low
Day after day, I still can't escape & I've been falling further into the sea
I remember those words you once told me, just to "let it be"
I know I'm not a sailor, but I'd sail the seven seas for you
For a way to find a reason why I should still believe
I still believe in a thing that they call hope
I'm just trying to convince myself to refrain from hanging on a rope,
but who am I kidding?
I'm afraid to meet death
I'm afraid of the unknown
Once again you were right, I'm a coward
& maybe I'll find the courage to get out of this god awful mess that I'm in
I'm sorry for leaving you behind dear
I'm sorry for everything
They say, "What's an anchor without it's sea?"
My dear, you are like the sea to me

She lays awake at night. Afraid from all those dreaded nightmares. She slowly drifts to flight. Afraid from all those dreaded night scares. I told her everything will be alright. She couldn’t find it in herself to sleep at night.
She said, “I can’t sleep. I’m afraid from all the thinking. I can’t sleep. I’ve got the fear of dreaming. These eyes they have seen.”
I’m missing you ghost girl. I’m missing you so much. I’m missing the cold air. I’ve been missing your touch. I’m missing you so deeply & I cannot forget you.
I told her everything will be alright. She still couldn’t find it in herself to sleep at night.
She said, “I can’t sleep. I’m afraid from all the thinking. I can’t sleep. I’ve got the fear of dreaming. These eyes they have seen.”
I’m missing you ghost girl. I’m missing you so much. I’m missing the cold air. I’ve been missing your touch. I’m missing you so deeply & I cannot forget you.
