I'd take a hole in my gut over a hole in my bed Because the former's a bummer, but the latter keeps me up and well-read And I need a new late-night bestseller like a hole in my head But with you I'd sleep easy, so lead me on discretely And I think we'd still get along real good So let's drink or carve our names all up in worn wood Or something I want a love picturesque over the real thing I'd imagine it sweetly, but I dream it all too big and it stings I admit I'm a sucker in building up your fantasy But for you I fall easy, so take me in completely Oh my love, she's a rockwell portrait (bah bah bah....)

I caught a pattern in your smile, the young buck in you still believing It'll never start receding I'm gonna keep it for a little while and wrap it up like a cellophane baggy But there's always an opening (in the air!) And I feel it when... It creeks like an old victorian When the bed starts to creek, I already brace for its memoriam I'm hearing symphonies in your smile, but it's a melody made easy For credits when they're rolling I'm gonna keep it for a little while and wrap it up like cellophane But there's always an opening (in the air!) In the cold still penetrating midwestern air In this midwestern air (repeat) I always feel it when... It creeks like an old victorian When the bed starts to creek, I already brace for its memoriam Don't let us creek like an old victorian Please don't let us creek like an old victorian In this midwestern air

Your heart's a burning circle, and you're always bitchin' bout the weather When you're bored, anticipating that your friends will starting separating In the fall, and you were home when you called me down, drunk, saying That it's so hard dreaming of stars or catching lightning bugs In a jar Your heart's a burning circle, and you're always bitchin' bout your boyfriends And me, I could have been the one-- the coulda, shoulda, woulda one Until the fall, when I was at school and you called me all euphoric singing And it's so hard seeing those stars. It's bringing back feelings through these lightning bugs in a jar In a jar I'm a fan of the Indian summers that bleed over well into September I'm a fan of the Indian summers With summer bugs and smells and playoff prospects well into September I kinda love that (She's a Vagabond) She can't stand all the lake effect winters of Cleveland proper So she stares at that mason jar trying to remember her California gap year And it was a 3 year gap year and a 3 year head rush That WWOOFing farm commune, the one with all the lightning bugs And it was warm when her memory went to black that September She kinda forgot that And know she kinda falls back in that jar

Big Red Moon 04:59
There's a big red moon hanging over 71 With you wincing your eyes it kinda felt like the sun Yeah, the show was a blast, but I ain't sticking around 'Cuz crashing in Columbus, it always gets me down I could give you a ride, and I think I've seen you around From those days back in school all lost in respective crowds And if you don't want to talk, I won't make a sound We could throw on a mix, and just crank it all loud And she said, "I really love that song" I ask: why is every song better when it's random on the radio Or every girl funnier if she's a shadow of where you used to go? Yeah, I could drop you home in Canton and sleep like a log Or take 76 to Akron, go out and get bombed And a second leg in Cleveland feels a little too far And the bask of that red light, it could pass for any other star Maybe we could just hang in the car I think we started talking when "Come on Eileen" came on Our handclaps went in unison when "Blister in the Sun" came on We were gushing over gorgeous driving weather When "All the Young Dudes" came on We dropped all our plans together when "All my Friends" came on And she said, "I really love that song" There's a big red moon hanging over 71 With you wincing your eyes it kinda felt like the sun
