now I fear I'm doomed
to ricochet around
like that squash ball
you just hammered
you serve up your news
I duck and clench a smile
windows shatter
he's your new boyfriend
you're gonna love him
so I'm gonna love him
‘cuz he's your new boyfriend
I'm gonna love him
'cuz you're gonna love him
'cuz he's your new boyfriend
winter wafting in
when once we were so warm
in a way we’re still not speaking
as his hands touch you
I flinch away from harm
oh you're beaming
he's your new boyfriend
you're gonna love him
so I'm gonna love him
'cuz he's your new boyfriend
I'm gonna love him
'cuz you're gonna love him
'cuz he's your new boyfriend
at your dinner party
our eyes locking as he
says he doesn’t like Scrabble
then he's washing dishes
you’re laughing from the kitchen
my resistance unravels
he's your new boyfriend
you're gonna love him
so I'm gonna love him
'cuz he's your new boyfriend
I'm gonna love him
'cuz you're gonna love him
'cuz he's your new boyfriend

autumn night we wander arm in arm
laugh and cry in our specs
slip off my gloves to touch your tears and we embrace
you softly ask in my neck
can we have goats, biscuits, bees
oh that sounds fine to me
I know you’ve gotta leave
but we’ll have goats, biscuits, bees
you’re called to walk the crowd wherever voices shout
you wonder can it be fair
to leave a love to tune and worry to your sound
dear heart, you're already there
can we have goats, biscuits, bees
oh that sounds fine to me
I know you’ve gotta leave
but we’ve got goats, biscuits, bees
waves and noise
spinning into space
bring your voice
to me as I age
still sunbeams
coffee in the air
are you home?
I'll meet you there
and we’ll have goats, biscuits, bees
oh that sounds fine to me
I know you’ve gotta leave
but we've got goats, biscuits, bees
we’ll have goats, biscuits, bees
oh that sounds fine to me
our plans are twirling leaves
but we'll have goats, biscuits, bees

I'm So Yours (Live)
03:33

like a summer sunrise
you warm me again
I could swear I knew you
before we began
and the tender taming
the orbits, the dance
how we fell together
like feathers, at last
baby I’m so yours
I’m so yours
as a waterfall
brings beauty through might
that we couldn’t stop this
don’t make it less right
sometimes it’s scary
this water runs deep
but your gaze is steady
we’re swimming for keeps
baby I’m so yours
I’m so yours
our naked skin
on the uneven ground
you bite your lip
oh please don’t keep it down
as we twist and tangle
underneath the stars
baby I’m so yours
I’m so yours

I hear the cheers when I dive well
beneath the blue my heart is in my ears
I part the waves in an instant
it's how I dream to part the sea
we got the news of your deployment
just before I made the team
I cried for days in our apartment
you helped me keep the counters clean
"Welcome Home"
they’re chanting as I’m standing here in Greece
but we're not home
and I don't feel patriotic in the least
I was raised in a small town
before the pain I learned to tuck and roll
I stumbled down into the pool in my backyard
floating weightless made me whole
When we met I had been drinking
that disaster of a dive
and though your manners then and now
could use some work
I still want you back alive
"Welcome Home"
they’re chanting as I’m standing here in Greece
but you're not home
and I don't feel patriotic in the least
I’ll win this gold
you'll read it on a wire later on
but don’t you dare be bold
we’ll come up for air together when we’re done
"Welcome Home"
they’re chanting as I’m standing here in Greece
but you're not home
and I don't feel patriotic in the least
I’ll win this gold
you'll read it on a wire later on

Sauvignon Blanc (Live)

blue sky and breeze
the weather in Kansas is heavenly
we’re at your place with the windows wide
the radio’s on
we’re singin’ like fools to “that girl is poison”
your couch is soft
and your smile is sly
you keep pouring out
another glass of wine
your hands are elegant
your wit so crisp and fine
and so you’re my
sauvignon blanc
you're my sauvignon blanc
april abounds
cherry tree blossoms all over town
joy is exploding in gentle rounds
we’re climbing the bough
I’m snapping your photo
as the sun shines down
you’re lovelier than
any wedding gown
you keep pouring out
another glass of wine
but I don’t need another round
I feel sublime
because you’re my
sauvignon blanc
you're my sauvignon blanc
you ask me if I want some too
but can’t you see I’m drunk on you?
you’re my sauvignon blanc

What We'd Do (Live)
04:22

I’d give up a year
for a week in your thighs
just to taste and feel you
that would keep me alive
yea I’m thirty three
and I’m a dirty old man
but get you in my sheets
and I’ll be ready again
some people live their lives
trying not to get hurt
but with moves like yours
oh baby do your worst
yeah scratch me burn me stab me honey
bring me a thrill
and if the neighbors hear
we can send them a bill
I can’t keep pretending
that I’ve not been spending
all my fitful nights
dreaming of you
and what we’d do
there are some girls
who hook you with a glance
but when they start to talk
the moment’s ruined fast
but as I take you in
it’s like a molten ore
something dark and deep
that makes me want your core
I can’t keep pretending
that I’ve not been spending
all my fitful nights
dreaming of you
and what we’d do
